Stanton County Farmers Fight
With Knives.
One May Be Fatally Injured
IL Mile Race and Battle.

Syracuse, Kan. March sc. r. Fra
zier. a prominent rancher living Il
miles southwest of johnson City. Stan
ton county, lies at the point Of death In
the Rex hotel here as the result Of an
old range fued with L. D. Rorick, q
ueighbor ranchman. Rorick and Fra
zier have laWed a range fueo In the
courts at johnson City for years with
out satisfaction. For several weeks
uuired by Judge Charles Norltn.
A few days ago Rorick went to the
Frazier ranch for a talk with his enemy
An alteration led to a bitter flgnt. IN
which both parties used knives freely.
Rorick received bad cuts ABOUT tne
deep seated gashes In the sides and
chest and the wounded man has suf-
fered repeated hemorrhaEes from bleed
ing lungs. A deep dent in the case OF
his watch, carried in his shirt pocket
directly over his heart. indicates the
fray was deadly.
A son of Frazter's arrived at the
scene Of the fight with a 1914 rifle IN
time to drive Rorick from the rancn
ward and save his father from certain
death. Rorick fled to his ranch but re-
turned a half hour later with his son
and a running fight followed in an at
tempt by each party to reach johnson
City first and secure the others arrest.
During the 12-mile race numerous shots
were exchanged, none hitting their
mark, probably because Of the weaken
ed condition Of the combatants. Sheriff
Williams, Of Stanton county. refused to
make an arrest until the result OF Fra
Tiers wounds became certain. Frazier
was rushed to this city, a distance OF 30
miles. by auto from johnson City. I'm
til the result Of his fight for life be-
comes apparent Rorick will be detained
under guard in Johnson City. though
not legally under arrest.

In support Of the movement It is
said that while rate Of 24H cents
exists between Minneapolis, Mimi,

1,5O7 miles. the rate from Wichita,
Kan. to Galveston, a distance Of 692
miles. is rs cents The rate from
Larned to galveston. $50 miles, is

armed with rate quotations by the
score which they intend to use in
support OF their contention that KAN

To every man he meets,
He smiles and grine, and shakes the hand
Or every one he greets.
While "Fortiter Re- has a mind Of his
own,
And opinions he dare express,
And what other men think Of them,
Makes no matter, moro or less.
Old ''suavitfer Modo'' soon wears himself
out,
For people get next to him."

With never a crouch or a whim.

He has moods, but IL true az gold,
One always knows where to place that

And his friendship never grows cold.

FEW FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
Druggist Says Ladies Are USING
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Hair that loses its color and lustre,
or when it fades, turns gray. dull and
lifeless; is caused by q Lack Of sulphur
In the hair. Our grandmother made
up a mixture Of Sage Tea and Sui
phur to keep her locks dark and
beautiful. and thousands Of women
and men who value that even color,
that beautiful dark shade Of hair
which is SO attractive. use only this
old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture by asking at any drug store for q
SO cent bottle OF 'sWyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy" which dark
ems the hair SO naturally. SO evenly,
that nobody can possibly tell it has
been applied. Besides, it takes off
dandruff. stops scalp itching and fall
ing hair. You just dampen a sponge
or soft brush with It and draw this
through your hair. taking one small
strand at a time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears: but what de-
lights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Is that. besides beauti-
fully darkening the hair after few
applications. it also brings back the
gloss and lustre and gives it an ap-
pearance Of abundance.-Adv.

RAISE OWN TOBACCO.
Tom Morgan Would Save Big Expense
in Home Culture.

Tom Morgan Would Save Big Expense
in Home Culture.
Leavenworth, March 3.-There is a
probability Of the federal prison here
entering into the manufacture OF its
own tobacco during the present admin
fstration. There also Is a PROBABILITY OF
a part of the prison farm being set
aside for the cultivation Of the fragrant
weed. II this is done the government
will be saved a considerable annual
sum which now Is being spent for
chewing tobacco.
Warden Thomas w. Morgan conce1v-
ed the idea Of manufacturing tobacco
products. quite as he has conceived
other notable ideas during the brief
time he has been at the head OF the
big institution. By manufacturing to-
bacco products at the prison 1t would
be unnecessary to pay the government
tax of cents a pound. Annually there
are 1900 pounds Of tobacco consumed
at the prison, and that costs the gov
eminent s., 900. 1t is figured that II the
prison had its own little plant there
would be a saving of at least One-han.
and the industry would provide work
for many Of the prisoners who now are
forced to remain idle during certain
hours Of the day.
Tobacco for the prison could readily
be raised on the prison farm. Farmers
in this vicinity have conclusively proved
that the best quality of tobacco can be
raised on Leavenworth county soil. 1t
may be that an experiment VIII be
made this summer, although there is
nothing definite in the matter.

TALKS LIKE PESSIMIST
WITH QUALIFICATIONS

Recently in conversation with a
graduate of Freiberg-a mining en-
gineer of recognized ability asked
him if he would not consider a vein
1000 feet in length in a good dis
trict, paralleling a vein from which
over $1,000, 900 had been taken, a
good risk in prospecting. | explained
that no pay had eve been found eX-
cspt a small shoot at n end of the
1000 fee that had furnished ore that
had milled 500 on the plates, leav-
ing $3.50 in the tailings. Without
hesitation or qualification he said,
NO" Then he went on to say it
might be good, or the reverse. 1T
may be the mother lead or the child,
or only a poor lone orphan. The fact
that it parallels a good lead doesn't
give such encouragement as would
make one confident that it will be
good. The chances are the other
way"
That was not a cheerful message to
give to a prOspector, on top of other
discOuragements. What must a MAI
think who has been working in a
good district the best years of his
life, who has seen p~rospectors from
the same district starved out, who
has known of several dying in the
county poor house within a few
months, who has nothing in sight and
whose brightest outlook is a showing
hal an expert says is not worth put
ting a days work on?
Doss anyone imagine that under
such circumstances there are not
times when things look dark?
But a prospector is no good who
is not ready to buck cheerfully
against the most discouraginS out
look. He must have the disposition
of the man, who when fiat on his
back, said he thought that was the
best possible time to look up. 1t
is dark, but it is just dark enough

NEW GOLD FIELDS

Reports from Chisana gold fields,
the latest to be discovered in Alaska,
are not of a very promising char.
acter. 1t is true that gold has been
found in the district, as well as sill
yer, tin and lead, and the govern
ment expert who made the survey
expresses the opinion that the dis
trict in time will become a heavy
producer of metal. But, on the 9th
er hand, the country is almost mac
cessible and those who have reached
it have done SO only after almost in
credible suffering and privation and
the trail to Chisana has been marked
all through it's course with the dead
bodies of those who made the at
tempt and gave up the struggle.
The district is less than 200 miles
from the Arctcic circle and lies at an
altitude of from $500 to 500 feet.
Most of it is above timberline and
wood for fuel must be hauled a great
distance. All provisions and supplies
must be freighted from the outside
world and the freight to the new
gold camp site costs One dollar a
pound. The district is about fifteen
square miles in eXtent.-Anaconda
