Mr.. ]. M. Naples had rather
novel experience Friday night
when his wagon struck a stump
near his home few miles east
of Pageland. The mules became
frightened and one was thrown
down and caught under the ton
que of the wagon but the other
mule twisted out and rid him
self of harness, collar, bride and
all and left for home without
breaking even a hame string.
Nothing was hurt.
The rain yesterday was well
coined by everybody, for, though
it had not been many days since
there had been rain, the crops
were beginning to suffer for rain.
The damage done by the
dry weather was very slight
though the hot sun
made the corn and cotton and
other vegetation look sick while
the sun was shining.
Jefferson won five of the six
games played last week, and
therefore still holds the cham
pionship for the county. Richie,
Pageland's pitcher, was ruptured
before the second game was
finished and could not play
any more. This gave Jefferson
a decided advantage, and the
other games were not of much
interest. Jefferson boasts of a
very strong team this year, and
the games they have won bear
them out in it.

WATERMELCNS
BY THE WAGON LOAD

Hardy Garten is probably the
Watermelon King" of the famous
sand hills region west of Abilene,
having over 20 acres to melons this
year, 10 of which are watermelons.
He lives just west of the Dyer farm,
most of which he farms. He is mar
keting his melon crop independently
this year and is having no difficulty
in doing so. He sells several wagon
loads every day to persons from
surrounding towns who come after
them. He raises exclusively the
Tom Watson variety which has
proven a general favorite, being
large, sweet and of fine texture.
Over SO loads have already been
taken from the fields and more
than that are left. Two loads went
to Carlton today, one to Chapman,
and a carload was sent to Hope. Mr.
Garten treats his customers right
and many are finding the road to
his place.

CHASED BY TORPEDO BOAT
Enterprise Man Had Exciting Re-
turn Voyage from Sweden

Charles Welander, an Enterprise
man who has just returned from a
visit In Sweden, his former home,
| was on an English liner that was
chased into the Halifax, N. s., har-
Dor by pursuing German torpedo
boat. Mr.. Welander took the liner
at Juttberg, Sweden, for New York
city, This was after war had been
declared by Germany. After the
ship was far to the south of Halifax,
British war ships cruising in the
Atlantic flashed messages to the
liner, warning the ships officers
that a German torpedo boat was
near, and advising the liner to turn
about and head north into Halifax
without trying to make the New
York harbor. This the liner did,
and reached port safely.
The torpedo boat was sighted by
the officers of the liner upon which
Mr.. Welander returned. In the chase
the liner made a speed of 30 knots
an hour, which is knots above the
maritime regulation speed. A knot
is more than a mile.
The passengers were landed at
Halifax and were forced to go by
rail to their destinations, as the
captain of the ship would not risk
capture by trying to reach New
York harbor. Mr.. Welander reach /
ed home by way of Canada, and
found that the war spirit was high
there.

GAME TO JUNCTION, II TO .
Heavy Hitting and Locals Boobies
Gave Visitors Contest

Junction City pounded out a VIC
tory over Abilene Thursday after
noon on the local lot, IL to 2. The
visitors got to Giles early and Of
ten, and the big fellow had a hard
time in the early innings OF the
game while his mates conscientious
ly booted the ball and heaved II to
all corners of the lot. In the final
innings Of the contest the locals
braced and staged some good field
ing stunts but the damage had
been done and the game had be-
come a one-sided affair. Poor base
running was responsible for the
locals failing to add some more
scores.
The game started badly for Abb
lene. Three hits and couple OF
giaring hobbies in the first round
gave Junction three scores. Abilene
failed to score until the sixth. juno
ton in the fourth, with more errors
sandwiched in with brace OF hits
showed three more runs across. Five
runs came across in the sixth.
Abilene scored in the sixth. An err
ror gave Giles base. He scored on
H. Little's hit In the seventh Camp
bell hit, was advanced when Samp-
son singled, Sampson going out at
second when Kruger grounded
Campbell coming home.
Abilene collected six hits off Hall,
the elongated pitcher Of the juno
ton City club, althoug Hall didn't
seem to have much of line. Giles
was unable to line up his usual
team, which would have made a
much better exhibition. The local
crowd played away below form, in
one of those offday demonstrations
that comes to the best of ball clubs.
The receipts of the game did not
quite equal the expenses.
For Abilene, H. Little caught
good game. Stanley was at first,
Menges at second, Kruger at third,
and Medley in the shortfield. Samp-
Eson in left field pulled down some
good catches, as did Campbell in
center. Straight was in right.
The score: r. H. e.
Junction 300 3O5 OOO-11 16 8
Abilene 600 OO1 100 2 6 8
Batteries: Hall and Ekleson;
Giles and H. Little. Umpire, Jones.
Hall struck out seven, and Giles the
same number.

FREEMAN APPEALS DIXIE CASE
Chapman Creek Contention Is Years
Old Now

Another dixie case, that OF A. j.
Freeman VS.. G. A. Scherer, Sarah e.
Martz and Theodore Martz, will so
TO the supreme court. Notice OF APP
peal was filed by the plaintiff to-
day. A former suit brought by Free
man lost in the supreme court. The
present suit, which is being appeal
ed, was thrown out OF court In the
May term here when Judge II. l..
King sustained demurrer to the
evidence of the plaintiff. However,
that does not suit Freeman.
The appealed suit was the out
growth of a former one In which
Freeman lost in both district and
supreme courts. Freeman sued Scher-
err and Theodore Martz because, he
alleged, the bikes they constructed
along the north side OF their lands,
on the south side OF the road, caused
the water to fill a big ditch and
overflow ON the Freeman wheat
fields. The defendants contended
that II any water stands on Free
mans lands 1t was because he filled
in the ditch which carried the water
from all the lands down the road
and into Chapman creek. The de-
PENDANTS further alleged that this
ditch was legally established, and
that Freeman himself caused the
damage. The case attracted much
attention among the people of the
Chapman creek neighborhood.
The story of the entire dissension
stretches over a period Of Is years.
The farms are situated north OF
Chapman, southeast of Sutphens
Mills. The farms are on the south
side of the road, the Martz farm be-
ing the furthest to the west. The
Scherer farm adjoins it, and then
comes the Freeman place. The land
slopes to the southeast. The water
came down from the north, crossed
the road and flooded Martz' land.
He urged the township board to
cut a ditch along the road to drain
this water east to Chapman creek.
The township board consulted the
county commissioners. The county
board told the township board to
go ahead and dig the ditch to drain
the lands, under the direction OF
the road overseer. This was done
part of the way, and the ditch was
dug the rest of the distance by
Martz at his own expense, under the
direction of the road overseer.
In time the water flowing down
the ditch to the creek began to
cut into Freeman's land. This was
in the spring of 1912. Freeman MI
ed in the ditch. The water backed
I'D and flooded Martz' land. lie
brought suit against Freeman IN
district court and won. Freeman
appealed to the supreme court
which affirmed the decision Of the
lower court. The ditch was never
opened again. Then Freeman
brought suit against owners of the
other two farms.

Warfield in his popular role of the
bic old Hebrew merchant, Simon
Levi, and he had planned to present
him in new play this year. But the
revival was received with such en-
phatic marks of artistic approval and
the receipts were so sensational in
the few cities that was fortunate
enough to be included in the itinerary
that Mr. Belasco, il response to
thousands of requests from theatre
goers throughout the country, decid-
ed to continue the revival for this
season, arranging a tour that would
embrace only the principal cities in
each section of. the country. The tour,
of necessity, will be Of whirlwind pro-
portions, as Mr.. Warfied has reached
the point in life where he feels that
he is entitled to rest. Consequent
ly his appearance before the public
next season will bel United to twenty
five weeksfi thereby reviving Joseph
Jefferson's luxurious scheme of life.
The revival is made doubly notable
through the fact that all the living
members who played in "The Auc-
tioneer" with Mr.. Warfield thirteen
years ago have again been gathered
together by Mr.. Belasco.

Governor Appoints Special Counsel to
iY, ,c"te Cotton Belt.

Little Rock, Aug. 13.-The Cotton
Belt railroad company continues to
resist the payment OF the franchise
tax charged against it by the state.
Gov. Hays has just appointed d. e.
Bradshaw and Walter j. Terry Of
Little Rock as special counsel to
prosecute a suit against the company
for a total of about $4,000, includ-
ing penalties and interest, due for
the years 1913-14. The suit for taxes
due for the year 1912, which was
won by the state in the lower courts,
is still pending in the united States
supreme court. About $1,000 is in
volved in that case. Theree has been
no change in the status of the case
since 1912, except that the legislature
of 1918 increased the rate of taxa
ton from 1-25 to LIS of 1 per cent
of the capital stock employed i'll the
state.
