ABILENE CAN GET A
NATIONAL GUARD COMPANY

Abilene has a good chance to get
a company of militia If enough
young men will agree to enlist. G. l.
Martin, adjutant general, has indi-
Gated in his correspondence with
local men that it is very probable
that Abilene can obtain authority -
form a company here. An enlistment
of Ga is necessary before a com
pany can be established, and lO4
men can be enlisted. However,
should the number of guards fall
below Ga after the organization has
been effected, the company would
not be taken away on that account
should the militiamen continue to be
active and keep their company as
nearly complete as possible.
One of the annual events for the
guards is the week of maneuvers at
Fort Riley in which all the guards
participate.

rtv along the company,s lines. This

erty along the company's lines. This
was the decision of the supreme
court in the suit of Sarah F. Barker
against the Missouri Pacific railway
company, appealed from Wyandotte
county. The company contended
that the land planted to fruit trees
could be used for greater profit by
the owner than for an orchard. The
court held that the owner was en-
titled to use the land for anything
she pleased, and that burning off the
trees by fire spread by locomo-
tive was an actual damage and
should be paid for by the company.
The railroad had insisted that de-
stroying the trees made the land
more valuable for other purposes.

BASKETBALL BLEACHERs
COLLAPSE WITH 75 PERSONS
None InJured-Abilene Takes First
Game, With Mcpherson, 34.13

The south bleachers In the bas-
ketball hall collapsed Friday night
while the first game Of the evening
was in progress, piling seventy-five
uersons in a heap on the cement
floor out on the playing court. The
surprising fact that no one was IN
jured is due to the way In which
the uprights supporting the bleach
.ers slid backward, so that the crowd
was let down without any sudden
crash. When the framework swayed
backward, smashing to pieces, the
crowd was practically deposited on
the floor.
- Beneath the bleachers was q
stove, and the pipe from this was
knocked through the plate glass win
dow near the entrance of the hail.
The stove was dragged out. to pre-
vent fire, and half the crowd STOOD
M the rest of the game. The bleach
ers were twelve tiers high ana In
securely nailed. Paul Gross suffered
= bruised foot but that was the only
injury reported. Some day the high
school will have first class gym
nasium where players and spectators
can have a good chance to enjoy
Basketball in an adequate hall IN
utead of a makeshift place.
Abilene took its opening game
with Mcpherson with ease, "a to 49,
Mcpherson passed we'll, but was out
classed In baskets from the field.
Mcpherson threw only four field
goals while the Abilene five counted
ne. Coach French used seven men
during the game and the team that
started the contest, Walters, Steyer,
Little, Mullin and Gish, looks good
! The lads are fast and showed FAR
amount of team work. Little led In
scoring points, with IA to his credit.
Neighbors, the short husky lad up
on whom Mcpherson relied, put him
self out of the fray on personal
fouls. Karl Miller of Salina refer
eed. The crowd was only fair and
not as large as the team deserves.
In the opening game the Garfield
,bantams defeated the boy scouts, IL
70 6. The Garfield team was: Shad-
ang, Kaufman, forwards; Duffy
center; p, Kraybill, oliver. Wilkie,
guards. The scouts: Little, E. Kray'
