District Court

The court docket looks as if tn
February term might cover it
usual three or four weeks of time
Possibly more, if the cases of tn,
State VS. Andrew ]. Shannon
charged with assault to kill and tha
of the State VS. Charles FIeenol
charged with murder are tired. 1
is not improbable that these tw
cases will be carried over. Shan.
non was at one time convicted on
the above charge and secured new
trial later. That of the State VS.
Maurace King charged with assault
with intent to kill and of William
Moran charged with Emb zzlement
round out he list of state cases
with the exception Of those dealing
with the violation of the prohibl-
tory law. Of the seven cases Of
this sort one defendant is a woman,
Lille Ross. The others for the
most part from Chanute are Jack
Dixon, John Camac, John Dawson,
U. G. Hoshaw, J. H. Rickel aud
Robert Short.
The city of Chanute is a party to
three of the suits which will be
tried at this term of court. Two
are for the collection of taxes,
Doug Finn, and the Santa Fe art
the other parties to the suits. The
third case of the city is one thai
has come up more than once al
ready. 1t is the case Of Charles

has been taken by w. w. Robb, who
formerly worked in the electric dt :
partment of the West Cement Plant,
Mr.. Johnson said that Baker
handed his esignation to him Mon

There seemed to have been some
friction between the employees and
Mr.. Baker and apparently the frlc-

THERE MAY BE- A
GAS Reservoir
Gas Superintendent and City
Engineer to Figure On Cost
Ready For Next Winter.

The present gas situation of Cha
mute has brought forth the fellow
ing resolution from the Board ot
City Commissioners, That the Gas
Superintendent and the City Engi
neer prepare plans and estimated
costs of the erection of gas reser =
voir which will hold million cubic
feet of gas, said gas to be pumped
into the reservoir during those
hours of the night when the con-
sumption of gas is at Its lowest
figure, for use during the day time.
Other cities have found this
method of dealing with their gas
situations very satisfactory and it is
one used by all cities that make
use of artificial gas. There will be
nothing further done in connec
ton with this probably for some
time, except to find out what the
erection of a reservoir would likely
cost the city.
From the charts it appears tha,
the pressure on the lines is highest
from ten o'clock to five fifteen A. M.
During this time it is fig ired there
would be plenty of extra gas 10 fill
tank the capacity of which would
be one million feet for day use.
The Mayor says, 81 think we should
find some artificial means for caring
for the irregulsrity in the gas con,
SUMPTION The reservoir was his
suggestion. The pressure from the
southwest lines last month reaches
sixty pounds in the night time but
this month it is lower, thirty pounds
being the rule. /. seemed to be
the unanimous opinion of the Com
mission that two of the gas pumps
that are now on the east field |
should be transferred to the south
west line Gefore another year is
gone providing that this would be
the most economical move.

Lawrence Lost Saturday Even
ing To the Local Five
36 to ID.

The Lawr ence-Chanute higl
school basket ball game was callec
at nine o'clock Saturday evening tc
allow business hours to be over, ir
order that larger crowd would &c,
20 witness the game. The attend
ance was good.
At the first minute of play Law.
/ renee rushed the ball for a goal, but
that goal was dearly won. 1t awak-
ened the Chanute five to some
spectacular team work, but in spite
of that they were unable to land a
goal until a foul on Lawrence put
them in line for free throw.
Hempy took tie big ball and
dropped it neatly through the hoop.
Chanute had scored one. The game
sent on fast and furious often as
many as eight men punching up,
but Chanute seldom left a Lawrence
man uuguarded and their shots were
few and necessarily I rather wild.
Gray and Foose at guards were at
their best Gray was in the thick
est all the time and though Foose is
small he is fast and held his man
down. Foose is naturally -the
scrappinest kid they is.''
Hemphill threw the frees and he
was "rlgh' missing only few that
were not turned into two
spot but a field throw Lawrence was
not strong on free throws and the
superior team work of the locals
put them in bad light. Just be-
fore the close of the first half Miller
and his guard jumped for the ball.
Miller hit it and tipped in through
the ring tor two score. The half
ended with that, score ao to9 in
Chanate's favor.
la the second half Chanute did
not weaken but displayed the same
pep as in the frst half, Miller was
in the game and Budd who was not
in his usual form with basket tossing
fed the others. Game closed 3@ 10 ID.
During the game Miller was credited
with making twenty of the thirty six
points with Budd helping out with
four and Gray with a like number.
The others belonged to "Hempy"
md his free throws. Hemp not
'nly made the free throws but
manage d the tip off from his oppon
mt throughout the game.
