Friday afternoon while John
Allison and Bob Reid we're discussing
the case of Brown Wells and Ben

the two did not agree, the discussion
waxed a little warm and finally be-
came exceedingly heated. 1t ended
in a fight. 1t seems that Allison had
a shot gun with which he struck at
Reid. Reid lodged the lick and
went for Allison with his hand. The
fight lasted about minute and then

DANGER IN LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY

f, M. Groohe Wednesday received
letter from his half brother william
Wymer, Boyle, Miss. in which be
told of the great danger that the
flood in the north is exposing the
lower Mississippi valley town. Mr.
Wymer writes that many people are
leaving the neighborhoUd of Boyle
while Others are still hoping against
hope that the levees will hold. A
year ago the levees broke above them
and the Mississippi was twenty miIes
wide at this point. The levees were
repaired and so far are standing the
strain, but the food on the Ohio had
not reached its limit in the lower
Mississippi when the letter was writ
ten and they we're expecting the river
to reach its limit in day or so. Mr.,
Wymer further wrote that business
was practically suspended and all the
work that was going on was the TAX
ing Of every conceivable precautiOn
against the breaking of the levees.

FAIR hSS0CIAT ON
Hello MEETING
Twelve Hour Session--Booked
Attractions Revised Prem
ium List $4,000 For Prizes

The officers and directors of the
Four County FAIR Association met
with only two absent. in the off ces
of Bideau and Tye Friday afternoon
at two o'clock. With only an hour
and half eff for supper, the meet
ing was resumed at seven thirty
and coDtinued until two o'clock,
but a lakge amount of business was
transacted during that twelve hour
session.
The Chicago Theatrical Booking
Agency had their representative on
the ground and high class attractions
were booked for the fair which will
be held at Katy City PARK Oct. 7, 8,
and 10. The attractions are h.
highest grade ones that are on the
road and the equal of the booked
for the State Far at Hutchison and
at Topeka, although those cities
have a larger number. Each one
is suitable for exhibition indoors or
out of doors. Tney are the same
attractions that are being booked
for the state fairs in Oklahoma,
Ohio and Wisconsin.
Another innovation made is the
having on Wednesday of Far week
an annual A. H. T. A. picnic and
big barbecue. This will do much
towards making Wednesday one of
the big days OF the fair. A state
delegation will be here as well as
members of the order fr,m the
four counties. Exhibits In the
capturing of criminals by the
mounted and armed squads will be
given during the day, and will add
much to the oher interests and
attractions Of the Fair. The A. H.
T. A. picnic and barbecue will
probably tie a perman1nt affair.

Four County Fair is third in the
state beiIg excelled only by the
lists at Topeka and the State Fair
at Hutchinson. A sales department
has been arranged for those who
wish to sell stock and produce at
the fair.
A sales pavilion will be built for
the accommodation of those who
have live stock or other things to

STATE LICENSE IN
STEAD OF CITY
City License Tags for Motor
vehicles in March, State
Tax $5--June lst

The following is the list of motor
vehicles for which license tags have
been issued during the month Of
| March.
Z. Baker, Harley Davidson mo.
torcycle; M. G. Gibson, Auburn;
F. A. Ripple, E. M. F. 80; E. F.
Walser, Overland; H. P. Dillon, E.
M. F. 80; X. M. Poison, Ford; ].
E. Wimsett, Hupmobile; E. L.
Dimlck, Auburn; ]. w. Andrews,
Indian Motorcycle.
After June Ist, no more license
ags will be issued by the City
Clerk of Chanute, unless the owner
OF the vehicle cares to pay f'r his
license tag, In addition to the state
fee that he is compelled 10 pay.
According to the bill passed by
the last legislature every automo-
bile in the state is subjected to a
state tax of five dollars annually,
money to be paid into the guod
roads fund. After City Clerk
Amyx goes out of the auto license
business, Motor car owners of
Neosho county will secure their
tags from the County Clerk at Erie.
Heretofore the automobile owned
by the farmer has gotten off easily
in the way of license and in this
town only one dollar was necessary
to secure tag for a machine owned
by a resident. The price varies
with the town, some setting the
annual fee al five dollars others
considerably cheaper. In pracr
ucally every instance the money
was used for good roads purposes.

BOOST THE HOME TOWN

Everybody can do something for
his town. What is to hinder you
from offering word of encourage
ment 10 every undertaking? What
is to hinder you from speaking we'll
of your town on all occasions? What
will it cost you? What trouble can
there be in meeting stranger kindly
and extending to him a hand Of
warm cordiality. These are some of
the questions asked by the Savon-
burg Record lately, when they were
wondering why more boosting wasn't
done.

Claim Unfairness

We, Jake Byers and Perry Taylor,
who have been dong considerabl,
paving, sewer and other work fol
the city, are considerably d spleaseo
with the recent action of the com
missioners in allowing Mr.. Seave'
to change his bid on West Thir'
Street paving, after the bids wer,
all in and after Seaver Learned
something about the bids.
1t would seem to the average
layman that such proceeding is
very unique and unusual as the
law requires the advertisement to
be made asking for bids, and pur-
suant thereto the commissioners
advertise that bids will be received
up to certain time. 1t would
seem that at the specified time all
bids that are to be considered by
the commissioners would staud as
they were originally filed, and that
no other course would be fair to
the other bidders.
We claim that this practice las
been INDUCED in by the commits
sioner and of course we are quite
dlspleased, as We have right to De.
However we hold nothing against
Mayor Lapham or Commissioner
Sans.
If favorl,es are to be played by
the Board of Commissioners, the
citiz ms of the city want 10 know it
as well as the bidders.
Signed,
