Forged Check
Caught by Ants,

A fellow giving his name as
J. Wilson, bought some goods
amounting to $1.50 at Polster
Bros. store Monday evening and
rendered a check bearing the
name of Eugene Turner, The
check was for SIS, and Wilson was
given the change. The check
was given to Charlie Polster,
and he thought it would be a
good idea to phone to Mr.. Turn
er to find out about the check.
Mrs. Turner answered the phone,
as Mr.. Turner was not at home.
Mr.. Polster presented the check
to Will Wyatt of the State Bank,
and the check was pronounced a
forgery. Mr.. Wyatt was famil-
lar with Mr.. Turner's signature.
Mr.. Wyatt got busy over the
phone and got hold of Mr.. Turn
err, who said fellow answering
the description he had of Wilson
was just going over the hill south
of his house. Wyatt said: Get
out the Ants, and head the fell
low off. / will get Marshal Hor-
ton and we will come right down
and get him." he and Horton
went down in a few minutes, and
the road was full of Ants. They
had the fellow covered With guns,
and had him tied with ropes, too,
They had caught him at Lit
Martins, where he had gotten
his supper. He was brought
hack and put into Jail.

Hello Girl Alleges
Breach Of Promise
Allie Parsons Asks for $4,000
DAMAGES From D. D. Crow
ell-She Lost a Job.

A breach of promise suit ha:
been filed in the Galeua division
of the district court by Allie
Parsons against D. D. Crowell oi
Galena, in which she asks fol
$40, 900 damages. Mr.. Crowell is
a business man of Galena, and
formerly employed Miss Parsons
as cashier and bookkeeper in his
grocery store.
Miss Parsons, who is a resi-
dent of Baxter Springs, has re-
Gently been employed as a tele-
phone operator at Miami. She
alleges in her petition that she
was to have been married to Mr..
Crowell January IA, and she was
obliged to give two weeks notice
to the telephone company before
leaving their employ. She com.
piled with the rule of the com.
pany, and on January z, Mr..
Crowell, she alleges, broke the
engagement.
Owing to the notice given the
company she lost her position,
and for this reason and the hui
initiation caused by the broken
engagement, she asks for the
sum mentioned.
The suit probably will be tried
at the March term of court,
which will convene the End.
The defendant was at one time
a resident of Baxter Springs.

Tell the Truth
or Keep Still.

Says Tom McNeal in the Mail
and Breeze:
There is notoing to be gained
in the long run by misrepresenta.
tion. Tell the truth or keep
your mouth shut.
Just at present there is a
strong effort being made, / think
for political purposes, to create
the impression that the price of
farm products. has been greatly
lowered by the recent tariff legis-
lation. The fact is that the av-
erage price of farm products and
livestock is as high today as it
has been at this time of year for
the last three or four years.
"All you have to do find ont
whether this is true or not is to
look up the market reports for
the last three or four years.
1.-THE price of cattle and hogs
has seldom been higher during
the past FIVE years than now, and
It has often been lower.
There has been an effort made
to convince farmers that they are
going to be injured by the impor-
tation Of cheap wheat from Cam
ada. The fact Is that the price
Of wheat Is higher Ia Canada
than In the United States. AS
this is written May wheat is
quoted in Winnipeg at 90 1-2c a

A Personal Loss.

The following is from the
Frederick, Okla, Leader, and is
reproduced by request:
The Leader feels that there
are many of its renders who will
share the feeling of the editors
of a personal loss in the death Of
c. A. Harris, pastor of the First
Presbyterian church. This feel
ing will not be confined to those
who were personally acquainted
with Mr.. Harris, but will extend
to many who have been helped
by the reading of his sermons.
He was in many respects a re-
markable man. He had crowded
much into the two years he lived
in Frederick, touching more
lives, perhaps, than many a man
might reach in a ministry ex-
tending over a much longer time.
It was given to him to turn his
face toward God, but never lose
sight of the humanity which was
all around him. Gifted with an
intellect that was too great fol
his frail body, brilliant in con.
ception of the might truths Of
the universe, wonderfully en-.
dowed with the power of reason.
ing and teaching, he did NOT
want to be considered different
from other men. do not call
me reverend" he said. Il want
to be received and treated just
like other men, because / am just
the same as you are." And il
was this appreciation of his
brotherhood toward all mankind,
his constant yearning to touch
hands with the one who needed
his help the most, his realization
of the pleasures and pains, the
tumults of joy and the burden
ing heartaches of others that
made his appeals so effective.
"The intellect is but poor
thing if it be not guided by a
soul which loves and sympa-
thizes. And that is the way Mr..
Harris attitude toward his fell
low men was governed. He was
human-intensely so. He made
no pretensions to perfection. He
would not wish a friend to say
he had not made mistakes. He
did not cover up his soul and try
to keep one from seeing his
thoughts, but kept the windows
OPEN" and spoke what he be-
lieved. We cannot say how
much he did, nor will we ever
know, unless perhaps it be ''oter
there"-but we do know that
those who came under the infu-
ence of his life and teachings
and appreciated them are better
for his having lived.

A Great District.
The New Kansas Field is Full
Of Ore and viii Soon be
Full of Investors.

any part OF the lead ana zinc ais
trict have caused the talk and
created the interest that the
strikes in the new Kansas field,
FIVE miles west of Baxter Springs
Gin Kansas, if you please, Joplin
papers,, have,
The first strike was made on
the Scott Jarrett land by. Oh.
Youse, while drilling for water.
This strike was followed by a
general leasing of most all the
land in the vicinity, and since
that time not less than 100 drill
holes have gone into ore varying
in richness from three per cent
to forty and even fifty per cent.
The Jarrett land was drilled
and ore was found in nearly
every hole, and now that ore has
been found deeper on the adjoin-
ing land, it is belle sed there is a
deeper run on the Jarrett land
than was found in the first place.
The old Weber place, now
owned by Jim Goodwin, has been
drilled and in each of ten holes
ore has been found. But in the
last three the cuttings are of ex-
ceeding richness, running from
30 to so per cent lead and zinc.
On this land we understand a
couple of shafts will be sunk this
spring. And it is not going to
be hard sinking, either. Practi-
cally no rock is encountered for
about 200 feet, and then the rock
is not hard until the cap rock is
struck. There is enough of this
to protect the ground, but taken
all in all, it is not going to be an
expensive proposition to get the
ore in shaft. The water is not
strong, either.
On the p. J. Chubb land a big
strike was made last week by H.
D. Shelton and associates, and
the cuttings look just like the
cuttings being taken out of the
Goodwin land. The ore is found
at POS feet. and there is forty
feet of it, and this thickness
seems to hold good all over that
part of the field.
The ore seems to be on the D.
S. Chubb land just as it is on the
Goodwin and P. ]. Chubb land,
and so rich are the cuttings on
the D. S. Chubb land, that the
Commerce Mining and Royalty
Company of Miami has coveted
the land, and last week bought
from Mr.. Chubb sixty-two and a
half acres for which they paid
81, 900.
The Wilbur land, on the state
line, but in Kansas, has been
thoroughly drilled, and ore has
been found in at least a dozen
holes. This land is under lease
by a Miami company, and we uu-
ierstand a shaft will be put down
as soon as the weather settles in
the spring.
On the NaylOr land, Jim Good
win has found ore, and will be-
gin a big drilling campaign very
soon.
Just south of the Kansas line
/ lot of drilling has been done,
md some exceptionally good
strikes have been made. Jim
Barnes, the wild cater, has
drilled scattering, and has been
very successful in finding ore.
On the Goodeagle land, now
owned by Cooper & Goodwin, a
mill is being built by L. C.
Church, and will be running
within the next 40 days. The
shaft is down to ore, and the ore
8 rich. Church did a lot of
lrilling on this land, and de-
ined a wide run of rich ore. At
mother place on this land a shaft
s into RICH ore, Church is put
