Belleville, Kan, Jan. part OF
a little girls head with a bit Of blue
baby ribbon tied to the hair, was
found by the engineer Of Rock Is
land passenger train No. 5 when ne

The mother, two months old
baby and a three-year-old girl were
killed instantly. The father was
breathing when picked up, but died
shortly afterwards. Engineer Laird
said he did not know when the en-
CINE struck the buggy. A portion
OF the buggy top was wedged to the

Two boys, eight and thirteen years

family. When the train reached
here the headlight was not burning.
A switch engine was sent back to
the scene of the accident and the

HE BOUGHT HIS FARM BACK.
Good Bottom Farms Hard to Find
Says Mr.. GOggin.

Junction City, Jan. BIT is hard
TO realize the value of good Kansas
farm lands until the farmer who
has owned place for number OF
years sells, then he realizes that
farm lands in the garden spot OF
Kansas are of some value. Last
month Mr.. Goggin who owns a fine
bottom farm down below Ogden, sold
the place of 140 acres to Willie Kill
liam. The price was $l0e per acre
and MIR. Groggin thought he had
made good sale. Since he sold
his farm MIR. Groggin has been rid
ing over the country looking for a
new farm and last week he gave up
the JOB and gave Willie Killian
$1,000. in cash and the entire crop
or last year TO give hIm his farm
back again. lr. KAnan will make
several thousand dollara by the
deal and Mr.. Goggin will keep his
fine farm.

DOILEY THREATENS
GOVERNOSHIP CONTEST.
state Chairman win Force Issue II
Hodges Doesn't Answer.

Topeka, Jan. 2.-In the event that
Governor-elect George H. Hodges re-
fuses to accept the proposition OIL
Chairman ]. N. Dolley of the Re-
publican state central committee,
calling for a friendly canvass of the
rejected ballots, Dolley intimates
that he proposes to entertain the
idea Of forcing a contest. The mat
ter of a canvass, however, has not
been taken up directly with either
Hodges or Henderson s. Martin,
chairman of the Democratic state
committee.
Dolley will contend that Arthur
Capper was elected governor by sew
eral thousand majority. Other state
appointees have similar convictions.
Oil Inspector Joe Longahore de-
cIares Capper has won by 1000 and
wants a recount. State Accountant
J. G. Gafford believes Capper would
win In a recount of the rejected bal
lots but denies that he is urging q
contest.
IT am waiting to see II Mr.. Hodg-
es accepts our plan for a friendly
recanvass of the rejected ballots
said Dolley. "If he will not submit
to this plan, then will probably
entertain the plan Of forcing a con-
test. Thousands Of people believe
that Capper has been honestly elect
ed and they want the matter settled
without any machine work or use
of legal technicalitiee."
