Canine Forces.
Hot Session Likely When Or
dinance Comes Up.

The fate of the bow-wows in To-
peka will be decided by the board of
city commissioners Monday morning.
The ordinance drawn up under the
direction of w. H. Kemper, aimed to
deprive all dogs of the privilege of
running loose on the streets, will be
taken up.
The four commissioners have ex-
pressed themselves as being opposed
to the ordinance and Mayor Billiard
would not state just where he stands
on the question, but it is safe to say
that there will be large number of
citizens on hand Monday morning to
have their SAY
'Dr. Crumbine and I will be there,
and we want all the dog owners in
town to attend the meeting Monday"

AUTO MEETS POP-POP
Street Car and Another Auto Cause
Accident at Tenth and Norris

Two automobiles, one street car and
three motorcycles meeting on the
small corner at Tenth and Morris
about 1890 last night were too big
a com bination, and as a consequence
one of the motorcycles, which was oc
cupied by Edward Nickland and a
young woman about 20 years old, col
Iided with an auto owned by Ralph
Montgomery. Montgomery machine
was going south on Morris, and the
motorcycle was approaching from the
opposite direction and as Vickland at
tempted to turn east on Tenth, he was
unable to stop and hit the auto
squarely in front, breaking his front
wheel and damaging the radiator and
lamps of the auto.
No one was injured. probably due
to the fact that all We're going very
slowly at the time. The corner at
Tenth and Morris is rather a danger
Gus corner as Morris avenue at that
place is narrow and the street car
track takes up most of the corner.
making it practically impossible for a.
vehicle to get through safely when
car is approaching.
