MURDOCH RUNS AWAY
Kansas Congressman Dodges a Posi-
ton as Umpire.

washington, July 12.-Any brave
man who shines in politics will have
chance to show his mettle Saturday,
when the Republican and Democrats
of the house of representatives clash
on the baseball diamond, as the two
teams are in sore need of an umpire.
Congressman Vic Murdock, of Kansas
floor leader of the Bull Moosers, who
was to have officiated as chief arbiter.
has suddenly found it necessary to
leave town to address a Progressive
audience in Sussex, N. J., where a
Bull Mooser named Bailey is running
for congress in the same district which
produced Senator Hughes, when he
was a member of the house.
Vic Murdock has a splendid alibi as
he can produce handbills from Sussex
announcing that Mr.. Murdock of Ne
braSka' will be among the famous
men to appear on the platform. OF
course, the baseball friends of the
house of representatives contend that
the national game comes first and ma
tlonal politics comes second, and they
intimate darkly that the tawny-
haired leader is afraid he might call
ball on Webb of Carolina when it
really was a strike, or create a riot
in some other way. "I can't umpire"
said Vic, to the State Journal cores

small live bull moose in the infield
and pay $25 to any one who can hit il
with a batted ball.

Part of Loot of Lawrence Hid
den Near Independence.
Dream May Reveal Hiding
Place of $4,000 in Pot.

Kansas City. July 12.-Whether or
not a pot of gold containing 100000
lies buried in the lot to the west of
the Central States Mission house in In
dependence will soon be determined
by digging. For many years there has
been a rumor that chest of gold.
part of the loot of Lawrence during
the war, was buried there.
Tradition tells that after the sack
ing of Lawrence the money was taken
to Independence and buried near theb
camp in the night. Those who buried
the treasure rode off to war again and
never came back and the buried treas
ure has remained hidden to this day.
The amount given varies from $1,000
to 100000 and years ago there was
considerable digging and more spec
ulation, but nothing ever came of it
from either Individual or collective
eXertion.
Some say that it was buried near
the barn and others hold that it was
buried under a tree, but the digging
goes on all around. Fifteen years ago
holes were dug in the lot but nothing
but black earth was turned up.
For years past the buried treasure
has been all but forgotten until Henry
Lewis had a dream, which impressed
him so much that he obtained consent
of S. o. Benion of the Mission to dig
there. Consent was readily given, for
Elder Benion believed that if gold
was there it should be brought TO
light, although he placed very little
faith in dreams.

Manhattan, Kan, July 12.-Ford

Monday for the biggest fight against
grasshoppers ever organized in Kan

The fight will be we'll organized. All
the material needed for making the
poison will be furnished free by the
county commissioners. 1t will be dis
tributed from one central place. The
amount of this bait to be distributed
requires 25 tons of bran, $500 pounds
of Paris green, $500 oranges and
1900 gallons of syrup.
George o. Green and w. A. Boys of
the Kansas Agricultural college are
conducting a similar campaign against
the hopperS in Graham county.

of the horticultural department, and

COffeYviIle Oficers.

Coffeyville, July 12.-Word has re-
peatedly reached the officers of the
practice of the South Coffeyville joint
lists in doing business back and forth
across the state line, especially about
the time that the Nowata officers are
believed to be coming.
County Attorney Ise, when here,
was again apprised that about seven
jointists had their stock of goods on
this side of the hedge fence which
marks the state line. He stated the
sheriffs force had gone to the line
twice to cooperate with the Nowata
county sheriff, but that when they
got there, going as quickly as possi-
BILE. they saw no Nowata county Of

Oklahoma side of the line and hoot-

The problem is a perplexing one
for the Montgomery county officers.
If they seize the liquor on this side
of the line, the joints will put up the
plea that they are not selling any
thing in Kansas. 1t will be another

IN SOLOMON VALLEY.
Wheat Is Yielding From 27 to so
Bushels Per Acre
GlaS aSgOW Kan.

Glasgow. Kan, July II,
To the Editor of the Topeka State
Journal:
We notice in your paper that differ
ent parts of the state have reported
large yields of wheat, and that the
same is of excellent quality.
Thinking that it might be of interest
to the readers of your paper to know
that the Solomon Valley has some very
large and excellent crops, 1 am writ
ing you. We have given special at
tention to some of the fields, and one
field containing twenty-four acres of
measured ground produced 1,2011R bu
of weighed wheat testing sixty-two
pounds per bushel. The general aver
age up and down the valley seems to
be about twenty-seven to thirty-five to
thirty-seven and a half bushels. The
above field was not considered by most
people to be an extra good field, and
there are some fields which probably
will yield better than this one.
As soon as possible, / will send you
a full report, so that you may get
some idea of the productiveness of the
Solomon Valley.
