THIS TURKEY WAS LOADED.
Iron Bolts and Other Ballast Found in
Carcass.

Fort Scott. Kan. Jan. 10.-For
proof that some people will go to al
most any extreme for the sake of q
few paltry pennies one needs only to
become acquainted with the particu-
lars of a recent turkey deal that oc-
Cured in Fort Scott. A certain res
taurant man. the day before Christ
mas, bought from dealer turkey
which had been killed and picked. but
not cleaned.
When the cook was cleaning the
fowl he found inside it q number of
heavy bolts and nuts, which had evil
IDENTIFY been forced into the turkeys 8
throat after its head had been re-
moved. The turkey, at the time of
it's purchase, weighed Is pounds, and
the restaurant man paid for it at the
rate of 18 cents q pound. The bolts
and nuts found inside the turkey
weighed two pounds. which made 1t
obvious that the restaurant man had
been cheated out Of just SO cents. and
the poultry dealer, who bought the
fowl from the poultry raiser, had also
been cheated.

TREE WAS A CURIOSITY.


Elkhart, Jan. 1O.-When the little
new town of Elkhart, down on the
southwest Santa Fe line. had a Christ
mas celebration, with q program of
speeches, addresses, songs and instru-
mental music, and 200 stockings for
the kids" that was pretty fine. in the
kids opinion. even II they did come
rolling in over the prairies from over
thirty miles away in such numbers as
to find that the stockings were not
enough to go round.
But there was something else there
that many of the Elkhart and vicinity
kids had not known at first hand. and
that was the Christmas tree, and when
the gift distribution was over, they
came and shyly asked for sprays to
take home.
Green things in southwest Kansas
are not common, and Christmas cele-
brAtions with everyone out to the
Colorado line present are wonderful.

rumor of prospective work they would

BOSTON SUES FEDERALS.

Who Jumped to Orioles.

BALTIMORE, Md, April l5.-A dupli-
cate Of q suit brought in New York by
James F. Gaffney. president of the Bos-
the loss of lack Quinn, whose right
name is John Picus, has been brought
in the United States district court here
Quinn pitched the Baltimore club to vic
tory over Buffalo in the opening game
of the Federal League season.
The suit is by titing for alleged CON
spiracy. but no statement of the facts
relied on is given in the paper filed in
court. 1t was brought by the Boston
National League club against Edward a.
Hanlon, director and Otto knabc. man
club: John Picus, also known as Jack
Quinn, and James y. Gilmore. and the
Federal League of Professional Base Ball
Clubs, of which he is president.
1t is alleged that Quinn agreed i'll writ
ing to accept terms and sign contract
with the Boston club several weeks be
fore he signed with the Baltimore Fed
erals. 1t also is alleged that after Quinn
had accepted a contract with Boston and
1T had been approved by David l.. Fultz,
president of the Base Ball Fraternity,
he was given a check for $1,000 by Han
lon and knabe and signed a Federal
contract in spite of the knowledge that
Quinn had accepted terms with Boston
Gilmore, it is alleged agreed not to sign
Quinn until the case had been reviewed
in joint conference.
l.. Edwin Goldman, counsel for the
Baltimore club, said the suit is IAN
obvious bluff and a confession that their
contract is not good in equity
