Cured when Augustin Alba, a Mexican
deputy sheriff, attempted to serve a
warrant on Sanfrisco Nevarro. 81 9
East Crane street, late this afternoon.
Alba is suffering from a wound in the
stomach and Nevarro is in a local hos
pital as a result of being shot four
times by Alba
According to officials, Alba went to
the Nevarro residence to serve a war
rant on the Mexican for jumping
bond. Nevarro pulled a gun and shot
Alba.
Then, officials say, Alba took the
gun away from Nevarro and was
forced to shoot him four times before
he was subdued. Nevarro was shot
once in the head, in the stomach, in
the neck and in the jaw.
At a late hour this afternoon Ne
VarrO was still alive.

HIS WIFE OBJECTS.
And Wheaton May Not Coach Jay
haWkers Next Fall.

Lawrence, Kan, March 19.-Be-
cause his wife objects to him spending
all of his time in Lawrence, it is prob
able that Jack Wheaton will not coach
the Jayhawker football team next fall.
This afternoon Manager w. o. Hamil-
ton stated that Wheaton had not yet
agreed to take charge of the squad
because he was requested to promise
that he would spend all of his time at
the institution.
The K. u faculty and students want
a coach who will be on the ground all
the time. They are anxious to have
Wheaton back but they object to him
spending only two or three days
week at the school as he did last fall
In the event that negotiations are
called off with Mr.. Wheaton, it is
probable that either Faculty Coach J.
Bond, Bill Hargis, coach at the EN-
poria Normal school, or Alpha Brum-
age, of the University of Kentucky,
will be chosen.
Fifty candidates for next years team
reported for spring practice Thursday
afternoon, and Faculty Coach j. Bond
will round them into shape as much
as possible between now and the clos
ing of school.

MAY GET STATE SHOOT
Topeka Rifle Club Plans Up-to-Date
Outdoor Range.

The Topeka Rifle club hopes to
make it possible for this city to get
the Kansas State Military shoot next
summer.
At the regular weekly meeting of
the club, held Thursday night, plans
were made for the opening of an out
door range this spring and commit
tee was appointed to cooperate with
a committee from the National Rifle
association and one from the Kansas
National Guards in locating this
range.
The holding of the state military
shoot here has been the dream of
members of the local club for years,
and several members who have been
working on the proposition for more
than a year have selected a range that
they think meets with all the require
1nents and have gotten an option to
lease the ground from about nall OF
the property owners.
Should Topeka succeed in getting
the state shoot, it would mean the
bringing of about 500 crack shots to
this city for ten days meet The
committee appointed to work on the
proposition is composed of Colonel
Jerry Springstead, L. c. Bell and A
w Mason The National Rifle asSo-
citation will be represented by steve
Everts of the Santa Fe electrical de-
partment and the National Guards by

of the Topeka Rifle club Thursday
night was made by L. G. Bell c. Z.

MUST HAVE LICENSE.
Kansas Commission Merchants tt
Work Under State Permit.

Kansas commission merchants who
handle farm produce will be required
after July l to obtain license to do
business from the Kansas state board
of agriculture and to deposit with the
secretary of that body a bond guaran-
teeing their faithful accounting in all
tranSa ctiOnS with farmers for whom
they may sell goods. The Resler bill
today passed the senate with only a
minor amendment. 1t is a copy of a
New York law in operation for several
years, and affects commission dealers
in vegetables, fruits, poultry, eggs,
dairy products and meats, but does not
apply to sales of farm produce at pub
lie auction.
The bond to be required of con,-
mission merchants shall be fixed by
the secretary of the board of agricul-
ture and is subject to hiss approval.
The license fee will be ten dollars.
When the secretary of the board Of
agriculture shall have satisfied him
self that licensed commission mer-
chant has refused to make SatiSfac-
tory settlement for farm produce en-
trusted to him by any consignor, he is
authorized to sue upon bond. The
Resler bill specifies a dozen causes for
the revocation of licenses. GOVERNS
false charges, false reports of sales or
of market conditions, and lays down
requirements for character of reports
to be made by the commission dealer
to the man who entrusts produce to
him for sale.
