Trainman Shot at Kelly.

News reached here last Fri
day of a shooting at Kelly, in
the southern part of the parish.
A brakeman on one of the freight
trains of the St. Louis, Iron
Mountain and Southern Railroad
Company, was shot in the arm
by some boys Saturday night.
The boys, who are report as hav-
ing started the trouble, are
Robert Reitzell, Alvin Parker
and Lee Mcdaniel. 1t is said
they had been drinking and while
the train was unloading here
they decided to board it to go to
Urania, q small sawrnill town in
the northern part of LaSalle
parish. To carry out their plan,
it is said, they proceeded to
make terms with the train crew
by offering them some whisky.
They then got on top of the box
cars and started on their journey.
1t was not long, however, until
a quarrel arose between the train
men and the boys, and they
pulled their guns, and, according
to reports, both sides began fir
ing. Two of the lanterns carried
by the brakemen were broken
and one of the trainmen was shot
through the arm. The lads were
unhurt. Sheriff Godfrey went
to Kelly Friday and returded
with Lee Mcdaniel and a few
days later Robert Reitzell came
in, and the two were released on
bond. Alvin Parker is still at
large.

Expert Coaching in Athletics.

Proper coaching in athletics is
half the battle; it teaches one
how to use his bodily powers
most effectively, with the least
waste of strength. Next
to having personal discipline by
experts is the sound instruction
given in the Youths Companion.
A department of the paper is de-
voted to pointing out the best
practise in baseball, football and
the other sports, explaining the
science of pitching ball, how
best to train for sprinting, cross
country running, etc. The con-
tributions to this department are
made by the best authorities. 1t
it an example of the thorough
ness and accuracy which distin-
cuisines The Companion. The
stories are of the most varied
kind those for bows and girls
proving equally interesting to
their elders. The Youths Com
panion occupies a unique place in
the field of periodical literature.
It is prominently a family pa.

Hay and oats are high today;

That's how men do about paint

several years; and so they have
waited. Paint is high yet; they
are still waiting; thousands Of
'em are waiting for paint to fall.
There property drops a trifle a
year and the next job of paint
creeps-up creeps-up creeps-up;
it'll take more paint by a gallon

some old records today found some in
teresting correspondence between Caleb
B. Smith, secretary of the interior und er
President Lincoln, and ]. H. Mcdowell
president of the Leavenworth, Pawnee
and Western Railway company. The let
tiers were written in the winter of 1862
and had to do with the construction of
the line to which tine Union Pacific is
the successor.
That was before the days of typewriters
and the letters were written on foolscap
and are as legible if they had been
written yesterday
A point raised in one of Mr. Mcdowell s
letters is the establishment of the gauge
the duty of which devolved upon Presi-
dent Lincoln, by law At that time the
Missouri Pacific had five and half
foot gauge to the Missouri river. while
the Hannibal and St Joseph gauge was
four feet, eight and one-half inches. Nc
Dowell suggested that the gauge for the
new line be five feet, but he preferred the
Hannibal gauge of four feet. eight and
one half inches, to the wider gauge Of

M'CANLES LEAVES
Shady Bend Prosecutor Moves
to Kansas City, Kan.
Served Lincoln County Success
fully Four Years.

Lincoln. Kan, June GOV. w. Nc
Canles who prosecuted the offenders in
the Shady Bend tar party case, has
located in Kansas City, Kan, where he
will maintain offices but will continue
a branch office in this city. Mr. Nc
Canles is one of the most promising
young attorneys that ever worked in
this section of the state and has had
remarkabl success.
Mr.. McCanles first appeared before
the people of the Sixth congressional
district when he was elected county at
torney in 1908. Previous to that time
he had become interected in politics
and was associated with the Demo-
cratic party. He served two terms in
this office. During his administration,
he prosecuted more than fifty cases
and secured a conviction in all but one.
After leaving the office, he was en-
pIoyed in every case the county pro-
secuted and he defeated the state in
every instance.
Shortly after prosecuting the Shady
Bend tar party cases, his friends be-
gan boosting him as the Democratic
candidate for congress from the Sixth
district He was the popular man of
his party but charges were filed against
him which made him the defendent
on the charge of criminal assault. 1t
was alleged that he selected a sixteen
year old girl his victim The girl
had been associated with his family
socially, through adoption by other re-
la tives.
He was successful in convincing the
court of his innocence and introduced
evidence which showed that the pro-
secution was brought through malice
and jealousy. He was acquitted by the
jury and then withdrew from the poll

To RESUBMIT PLAN.
State Odd Fellows Building Beaten by
Only 172 Votes.

According to Will J. Russell, grand
secretary of the Kansas Odd Fellows
lodge, the plan to erect state head
quarters has been definitely defeated.
The proposition was killed by a mea-
ger majority of 172 votes: Ayes,
3,122; noes, 1924. Out of the $4,000
votes in the state total of only 6,416
was polled.
Mr.. Russell prophesies that the plan
will be resubmitted in October, refer
red to referendum, and carried. He
attributes its failure to the fact that
it was not presented to the lodges in
definite form.
THE proposition is bound to come
up again said Mr.. Russell this morn
ing. I'VE need adequate protection
for our lodge documents. 1 imagine it
will be brought up at our next session
to be held October Is and 16 in
Hutchinson. In my opinion, the plan
was KILLED because no approximate
value was placed upon the proposed
erection; the whole plan was indefi-
nite.''
Exact returns on the election of
state officers in the lodge have been
compiled by Mr. Russell. Topeka is
represented three times. The grand
master, the grand secretary and the
grand treasurer have offices in town.
