HIGGINS WINS FAMOUS SUIT
Litigation Between Chicago and Phoenix Chautauqua Associations Caused by Umeliabilitv of Dr. Cook of Polar Notorietv

In the case of the ChautauQua Man ager's association of Chicago against A. L. Higgins, secretary of the South ern Chautauqua association. begun nearly year ago. Judge Phillips yes telday rendered judgment for the de- fendant and assessed the costs of the | case against the Chicago association. Messrs Hayes and Laney were counsel | for the defendant
 This action was brought to recover certain sums alleged to be due the | plaintiff on contract for a series of attractions. Payment was resisted on , the ground that the contract had been 1 broken by the plaintiff and that the l defendant had thereby been greatly | damaged. The money for the payment | of the obligations of the defendant had been deposited as a guaranty fund in
 the Valley Bank of this city.
 | The contract was broken by the Chi ! cago association in several instances 1 the most notable violation being in 1 connection with the lectures of Dr. l Cook. According to contract the polar 1 lecturer was to deliver ten lectures, in Arizona, New Mexico and Western | Texas, the territory cOnvered by the l Southwestern association. For each of these ten lectures he was guaranteed $200. But at the request of the South l western association he was to deliver other lectures under it's auspices for fifty per cent of the receipts, the as
 sociation, to retain the other half
 After delivering the ten lectures un- der the local association guaranty. the doctor more than ever convinced
 the local association that he
 had not found the NOrthpOle or at least that he was not the kind of man
 whose bare statement that he had dis
 covered the pole could be accepted without question. He declined to de liver any lectures in addition to the
 first ten though the defendant asso-
 citation had provided several dates anC
 from which lectures il would have
 made profit.
 As the Southwestern association haC
 had no arrangement with Dr. Cook i
 could not proceed against him bu
 withheld a part of the payment to tho
 Chicago association which was hel(
 responsible. In other respects the con
 tract was broken by the failure of at
 fractions to appear at places whici
 had been billed by the Southwestern 1 association.
 The local association has been caused a great deal of annoyance by the un
 dependability of Ole Doc Cook but afte
 all il has got off with less embarrass D ment than the Danish Royal Geo Q graphical Society

This is a snake story-but, unlike
most narratives Of that class, II is the
absolute truth and can be verified, says
The Dales Chronicle.
Mark Crawford, the son OF John
Crawford. of Granddalles, who is well
known in this city, was driving some
cattle last week from the pasture back
of the Crawford residence when he
ran into a nest Of rattlesnakes and he
counted eight in the bunch. He told
his father what he had seen and last
Sunday MIR. Crawford, armed with a
rifle and 45 cartridges, went to the
olace indicated. The day was warm
and within a short time, from hole in
the side of the bluff and accompanied
by q mighty whir of rattles, the colony
Of snakes began to make its appear
ance. One by one they came through
the hole, which is about six inches in
diameter, and as they appeared Mr..
Crawford planted a bullet in each rep
tile. After an hour of the sport his
cartridges were exhausted and the re-
maindeT of the colony, estimated at
about 100, slid away into the rocks and
disappeared. The dead were counted
and showed that a rattlesnake had
been killed for every cartridge used.
This Hat across the river is famous
for its marvellous product of snakes of
all kinds, the rocky bluffs along the
river seeming to be particularly adapt
ed to the breeding of the reptiles. A
story is related, and has been verified
as the truth, that when the North
Bank road was being built short dis
tance above the Granddalles station, a
blst was fired into a rock cut and when
the smoke cleared away it was found
that a great den of alternating reptiles
and animals had been uncovered. 1t
was estimated that about ! 200 snakes,
rattlers, blue racers, and bull snakes,
and a few ground hogs, were uncovered
and rapidly spread over the ground in a
seething. squrming mass. When the
Greeks saw this they fled, yelling
warnings and making a great fuss.
The reptiles and animals were still
drowsy with their winter sleep and
most of them were dispatched.

been stated that almost the required
number of signatures, five per cent of
the voters of the county has been Sc
cured. However, County Clerk Hanson
says that the petition has not yet been

it will be necessary to secure not only
five per cent of the voters of the coun'
ty, but of the state as a whole, before
the bill can be referred to a vote of thu

STYLE COLUMN

1t is very difficult for parents to un-
derstand why-or rather to get used to
the fact that clothes to fit the young
ladies of the family cost as much as
those for their mothers, and to this
fact is due the situation oftentimes
that the young people are deprived of
that smartness and those little touches
that make tailored garments admired
and ottentimes expensive. Designers
of fashions are awake always to every
situation and to provide for this condi-
tion many beautiful models have been
evolved that give the smart appear
ance desired at a cost surprisingly
little.

Cleanup Week is On

All citizens interested are reminded
that this is cleanup week and that
teams will begin hauling rubbish
Thursday morning. Nothing will be
hauled that can be burned, and all rub
bish should be placed in boxes or sacks
and convenient TO the street that the
drivers may see it as they pass along.
They will charge a nominal price, much
less than it would be for individual or
ders. 1t is hoped every place needing
it will be cleaned by the end of the
week, and not necessitate the city tak-
ing steps TO have it cleaned.
