and the annual basketball tourna-
ment we're discussed. The track meet
will be held in Abilene about the
middle of April. The basketball
tournament will be held at Chap
man, as it was last year, on the coun-
ty high school court about the mid
die of March. The number of teams
entering both of these contests Is
expected to be larger this year than
ever before. Each year pupils in the
smaller schools are given increasing
ly better advantages along athletic
lines and as a result more are quail
fled to enter the annual contests.

william A. ziebell. John Albert zie-

bell.

who wasEthep living. Her plans sue

SUPREME COURT REVERSES
DECISION OF DISTRICT COURT

The supreme court. of Kansas has
decided an interesting case appealed
from the district cosrrerof Dickinson
county. The case was that of j. G..
Norman vs.. L. H. Toliver (The Home
Savings Bank.) Mr.. Norman brought
replevin suit against Mr.. Toliver to
recover possession of an automobile
secured by Mr.. Toliver as agent for
the Home Savings bank Of Des
Moines, Ia, on a foreclosed mort
gage.
The suit was tried before Justice
of the Peace Quinn. BEFORE the case
was tried the Home Savings bank
asked to be substituted in place Of
Mr.. Toliver as defendant in the
suit, since the company was the real
party to the action. Judge Quinn al
lowed the substitution. A jury re-
turned a verdict for the defendant.
The bank retained possession Of the
car. Mr.. Norman appealed the case
to the district court. where Judge
r. L. King reversed the decision of
Judge Quinn and held that 1t was
not according to law for the name
of the bank to be substituted as the
defendant in the suit. s. S. Smith,
attorney for the Home Savings bank,
appealed the case to the supreme
court. The supreme court upheld
Judge Quinn in a decision handed
down last Saturday.

Of his lecture will be Feeding on

Feeding on Husks" is a power

Does 1t pay to vaccinate against
hog cholera? Some farmers will tell
you that 1t does not, but the major
ity of those who have vaccinated
their hogs at the proper time, mind
you, are firm believers in vaccina-
ton as a preventive.
Putting 1t mildly, the interest OF
the stockmen of the county in hog
cholera has been quickened by the
big losses which have resulted from
the disease this year. In some In
stances whole herds have been de-
stroyed. Some stockmen have lost
all their fall pigs and occasionally
the loss is made larger by the death
of a fine boar.
AS a rule, the violence of the
cholera lessons as cold weather
comes. But that is no sign that
cholera germs are absent; they are
merely dormant. The disease is
germ disease and is contagious. San-
itation is an important consideration
and is indispensable in Wiping out
the disease. Bodies of hogs which
have been killed by the cholera
should be burned. Two parallel walls
of bricks with some old CRATES laid
across the bricks and a fire built
is a simple preparation
for burning carcasses.

CARS Slid INTO CURBs
Snow That Melted and Then FrOze
Gives Motorists Trouble


Several slight automobile acci-
dents resulted from the slippery
streets last night. DR.. H. P. Mera
as he was driving home went TO
round the corner and go north on
Mulberry from second street when
the car wheels struck sheet Of ice
underlying the snow. The car slid
against the curb to the left, one
front wheel climbing the curb. The
front axle was bent so that DR.. and
Mrs. Mera were compelled to leave
the car and walk home.
Walter Matthews. driving DR..
Ralph Townsend's car, started last
night to turn west on Seventh street
from North Buckeye. The car refus-
ed to turn and slid against the iron
rail along the side Of the street.
The front lamps we're smashed and
the front axle broken at the cones
of the two wheels.
Several other cars are said to
have been damaged last night. The
first snow that came down melted
and then froze. A later fall of snow
covered the ice.

.oodbine Family Row
Beats All the Movies

Mr.. Ziebell, who by this time was
advanced in years. and was suffering
with a cancer at the base OF the
brain, was taken away to a hospital.
In the time intervening between his
trip to the hospital and his death
some time later, so Henry and John
Albert Ziebell assert, Mrs. Ziebell
and her only son by Mr.. Ziebell, =.
Clarence, conspired to have the sick
man sign a document which they
had drawn up and purporting to be
his last will and testament. This
was witnessed, and by 1t Mrs. Zie-
bell was given fifty per cent of the
property. The children who are de-
fendants in the partition suit say
that while their father was not cap
able of transacting business and
that while he was critically Ill none
of them was allowed to enter the
room in which he was unless Mrs.
Ziebell or s. Clarence Ziebell were
present. The answer asks that m
the division of the property that
Mrs. Ziebell be declared without in
terest in any of the estate of Char
les Ziebell.
The will which the answer to the
original suit declares is the result OF
conspiracy divides the estate this
way: Lieuvica Ziebell so per cent,

bell 8, william A. Ziebell 10, John

bell and Edward G. Ziebell l per

UNLESS WATER is SUPPLIED

Although a large petition Of busi-

1t is likely that on that account Abb

matter in charge for Bishop Cum
ningham, stated when here that
about $4,000 has been spent in the

dered work discontinued when pres
ent contracts are complete and says
Salina will be glad TO have the in
stitution located in that city. He
has assurances of any needed funds
or accommodations from Salina and
1t is probable that Abilene will lose
the institution. An Industrial school
for the churchs wards, the only one
in Kansas, was to have been estab-
lished also but If water is not sup
