DAWSON IS Confident
Attorney General Says Gas Case Will
End Fav0rably to Kansas.

Attorney General John S. Dawson
has returned from his conference with
Kansas Natural Gas company creditors
in Pennsylvania and believes that the
state receivers will be given an Oppor-
tunity to put the giant gas corporation
on it's feet in Kansas. While General
Dawson did not bring home the half
million dollars considered necessary to
keep the cOmpany's affairs in good
standing. he is confident that the cor
poration's creditors will provide suf-
ficient funds to meet the demands of
the receivers.
The recent decision of the United
States circuit court of appeals decided
one of the issues in the gas case dur
ing Dawson's absence. This decision,
Dawson explained, made unnecessary
the immediate raising of q half mil
lion dollars to cover emergency ex-
penses, extensions and improvements.
The conference between the attorney
general and gas company receivers was
viewed by Dawson as a profitable visit
and one that will result in a better un-
Outstanding and closer harmony be-
tween the state receivers and the cred
itOrs. AS soon as more funds are act
ually needed to continue the handling
of the company's existing contracts,
Dawson believes the creditors will re-
spOnd.

THAT is an old game with the poll

Los Angeles Paper Tells Of Capture
of Large Fish.

The Los Angeles Times Of Tuesday
contains a dispatch from Redondo
Beach, which reads:
A spectacular catch of 2O-pound
yellowtail. unprecedented in this sec
ton. was witnessed by hundreds of
weekend visitors here today.
Elihu Root, a business man from
Topeka, KAN, who is touring southern
California, while wading at the oceans
edge this morning felt an object
brush against his feet. Reaching
down into the water his hand came in
contact with a monster fish which
had been caught in the shoals and on
account of its size and the shallow
water could not make it's exit through
the pounding surf. After a lively
chase several hundred feet down the
ocean, Root managed to grasp the
fish by the tail and tossed it into the
gaping crowd of spectators.
A hook with a 15-foot line attached
was lodged in the fsh's mouth. The
presence of the yellowtail 80 near the
waters edge is explained by fisher
men, who say when a large fish breaks
line it makes a straight dash for free
dom, and that in this instance the fish
probably swan directly towards the
shore and was caught in the shoals
