BORDER BATTLES
Railroad Head Fights Twice in
Day With Outlaws.
Raiders Bullets Clip Clothing
of Sam Robertson.

Brownsville, Texas, Oct. 26.-Sam
Robertson, president of the San
Benito and Rio Grande Valley rail-
way, fought twice with Mexican ban
yesterday afternoon, the first time
alone, the second time with the as
sistance of a 14-year-old Mexican boy,
who handled the rifles. Robertson
reached San Benito early today with
a bullet hole through the shoulder of
his coat and with one heel of shoe
shot Off
Several weeks ago he was attacked
by bandits near San Benito and a hole
was shot through his hat.
Robertson said that yesterday aft
ernoon ne was near San Pedro ranch,
east of San Benito, travelling in an
automobile with a load of hardwar re.
Robertson lost some of the hardware,
and leaving the automobile near the
roadside he started back to find the
packages. Returning to the automo-
bile he discovered seven Mexicans
there. They opened fire on him and
ne returned the fire from behind a
tree.
Robertson saw one man fall, and
after he had driven the Mexicans
away found three pools of blood, but
the wounded men had been taken
away. Robertson then set out afoot
through the brush to look for a tele
phone recently strung on trees in that
vicinity. He met a Mexican boy, to
whom he gave his rifle, while he kept
his pump gun. Suddenly the boy
turned and said: Lookout" Robert
son looked back and saw several
Mexicans; how many he could not
say. He began firing and with the
assistance of the hoy succeeded in
getting the better of the situation. The
MexicanS again retired.
1T was N the second fight that
Robertson was shot in the coat and
lost the heel of his shoe Reaching
a telephone he found it working badly,

'PEN'SQUARE DEAL
Governor Capper Adopts Uni
form Prison Terms.
Burglary and Larceny COnyicts,
to 10 Years.

Uniform terms for burglary and
larceny corvicts will be established
under action today by Governor Cap
per. At the suggestion of Judge G.
w. Smith, executive clerk. the gov
ernor will decree that all convicts
serving time for burglary and lar
ceny shall serve terms of five to ten
years.
Under a system which has been in
effect in several counties, a person
convicted of burglary and larceny was
sentenced to five to ten years for bur-
glary and one to six years for larceny.
There was nothing in. the commit
ment which showed whether the court
desired that the sentences run con-
currently
Other counties gave but the one
sentence of five to ten years. For
that reason a number of burglary and
larceny convicts were serving SEN
tenceS of six to sixteen years, while
others were serving five to ten years
for the same offense. The ruling of
the governor will make all burglary
and larceny sentences read five to ten
years.

Of course that doesn't represent the
revenue to the Kansas farmers during
the year. Far, far from it. Their in
come during the first twelve months
of the war was something like $50
million dollars, according to conserva-
tive estimates enough money
to handle the big war loan.
Even in Kansas an increase in
profits that puts seven million dollars
a month extra profits in the farmers
bank account is matter of some con-
Germ. Seven million dollars a month,
is $1,750, 900 a week and $1,750,000 a
week is $25O,000 a day. Not a very

State House White Way Still a
Matter of Weeks.
Promised for September-and
Here It's Nearly November.
JUST ORDERED THE IRON POLES
Leisurely State Sends for Ma
terial That Should Be Here.
Visiting Teachers VIII Be Un-
able to See Display.

| Somewhere in the offices of mem
bers of the stats executive council, is
! a big joke about the state house white
! way. Somehow, though, Topeka has
not been able to laugh real loudly
and has suspected that the joke is
! only nervous effort to delay pro-
gress until new funds are available
sometime after the big state conven-
tions are held.
Just now the latest news is to the
| effect that the new white way will not
| be lighted for the teachers conven-
| ton in November. OF course tho
| completion of the lighting system was
promised in time for the state fair in
/ September. But the contract was not
| let until ten days before the fair and
| the contracts calls for completion of
| the work December l.
Lights at the state house during the
teachers convention would mean a
big boost for Topeka. For years the
teachers have been coming to Topeka
and lodging the state house grounds
after sunset, unless they were accom-
panied by an escort with q gun and a
lantern. So real lights on the state
| property this year would mean that
| the teachers would go back home with
| a message of appreciation for their
state in general and Topeka in par
ticular. a. X
Delay in Ordering Posts.
The lighting system might have
been installed in time for the teach
ers' convention, had the state depart
ments shown a real interest in the
| work. Only three or four days ago
die the state order the ornamental
brass posts for use on the state hou-e
steps. Maybe these posts will arrive
in a few days. Maybe it will be
few weeks or a couple of months.
All of which will help to delay the
work.
Wait for Material.
When the contract was let, the con-
tractor ordered his iron posts made in
Topeka. The posts are now ready for
use and will be delivered as soon as
the wiring around the state house
grounds is completed. The contrac-
tors will complete their work in time
for the big convention, provided there
are no future delays by the state or
city But the work will not be finish
ed until the state gets its material on
the ground.
The free state fair passed without
the completion of the white way. Then
the old soldiers came to Topeka and
looked at a dark and gloomy state
property. The Odd Fellows went
home with a vaudeville show joke
about a man being lost on the grounds.
Now the teachers are coming and
there is little hope that the lights will
be turned on when they arrive.
