name. The Durable Dane declares
he IL sick and tired Of all kinds OF
fighters hooking the name "BAt-

Battling Is Nelson's real name
and he believes he has an exclusive
right to 1t and that the other ring
men who have appropriated it should
be enjoined and either prevented
from using 1t or pay a royalty on
the Nelson copyright"
One Of his first actions this week
will be to seek an injunction to pre-
vent Dan Morgan from. billing his

to court and ask that both Morgan
and Levinsky be prevented from
using the name unless a business
arrangement IL made with the

G -dland, Kan, Jan. 13.-G. L.
Calvert, the county attorney here,
seems to be more fortunate than a
great many Goodland citizens. He
has q four room house located in the
edge of the residence district Of the
town which is lighted and heated by
natural gas. Some two or three years
ago the county Tut down a deep well,
seeking artesfan water. At the depth
Of LOO feet they struck natural gas.
The well was continued down deeper
until the depth of 2.160 feet was
reached.
At this depth the drillers were un-
able to go further. claiming that the
well had been bored crooked. The
well was then abandoned by the coun-
ty. The land on which it had been
sunk had been obtained from Mr.. Cal
vert, and when the well was aban-
doned. the ground was again decided
back to him. The well now has about
500 feet of mud and water in 1t. but
notwithstanding this fact, the gas con-
tinues to now from 1t, and Mr.. Calvert
piped It to his dwelling house and il

while he is new house member, he
is not new to things legislative. Frank
Travis, member from lola, is not only
the former senator who put the rage
in suffrage, but a soldier of note. He
has fought, bled and died on the Fort
Riley camp grounds as everything
from a major down to a lieutenant;
his imposing brow has been seen in
the councils of them who do make
and peddle various brands Of insur-
ance, and at present he is top-side of
an insurance company OF noble di-
mansions. Considering that he had
done all he could in the senate end
and lawd knows he did a plenty-he
moved his trunk over into the unsus-
pecting house. A number of his
friends thought seriously of making
him speaker pro tenn, but they
thought of it after other candidates
had been on the job for quite a while,
Travis is merely corporal in the
house forces.
The lob is on the job. That state
ment looks like quotation from the
new Kansas primer, but isn't. Lob
is q colloQuia1 noun. and not to be
found in school primers. The word,
according to Hon. Webster, is from
the Welsh word .'llob." and means a
lump Of something, but in the Kansas
language it means q person or group
Of persons intent upon transmitting
certain views to the members Of a
Kansas legislature. During the first
day of the session, fifteen members of
the cult registered with the secretary
OF state. Which calls to mind that
