BANDITS REAP EASY HARVEST
ONE VICTIM DEAD

These be joyous days for the gun
man who lusts for coin which is not
the fruit of ardous toll. In fact, the
matter of holding up saloons and
men, shooting policemen and bar
tenders and blowing safes is now so
lacking in adventure as to have be-
come dull and uninteresting for the
Raffles with a soul tuned for adven-
ture.
A pair of peter boys" did a good
job at the Crawford theater, Madi-
son st. near Crawford. It was discov-
cred when the janitor opened up this
morning. They wheeled the heavy
safe to the middle of the floor, then
blew it up with nitroglycerin. No
one heard the explosion. 1t was a
neat job and netted about $1,000.
A pair of men with guns got $26
from John Sheehan's saloon, 2059 w.
35th, after locking three in the lava
tory. At Michael M. Dore's saloon.
1855 S. Western av., they locked
three men and a woman in the lava

A WEEK OF FIRES

Liberal has been visited by three
small fires this week. The first was
Friday afternoon late, when the saw
dust and shavings back of the Printz
& Son wood working shop caught
afire and was blazing merrily when
discovered. The only damage was an
outbuilding burned. The second was
Tuesday night about IL o'clock when
small shed back of the Southwest
ern Hardware Company was seen on
fire by the men working in the Stone
garage. The fire whistle sounded
and the fire wagon was there in just
four minutes from the time the
alarm was sounded. No serious dam
age was Sustained and the fve was
soon out. Yesterday morning o gaso-
line stove exploded at the home of
Mrs. Lipscomb on Third street, but
the fire fighting apparatus was soon on
hand and no serious fire resulted.
For a bunch of amateur volunteer
firemen, we must hand It to the Lib
eral firemen on the stir they make
when the alarm sounds. They get
action and they get it right now when
the call comes, and they never lose
their heads and get things bailed up
when they get to the scene Of the fire.
The fire fighting equipment has only
been here few weeks but we believe
It has already prevented enough fires
to more than pay for itself.

WILL ORGANIZE MOOSE LODGE

Liberal will be full of Moose in the
next few days. Not the Big Bull va
riety, however, but the full-fedged
members of the Loyal Order of
Moose. Chas. B. Loop, district or
ganizer for that order, has been busy
the last few weeks gathering In mem
bers for the opening and has already
secured over SO members, some of
whom are prominent citizens. The
intention is to fit up club home as
soon as the subordinate lodge is in
stituted 1t is probable that the
Dodge City lodge, No. 1887, which
has membership of over 800, will
be present to help in the initiation
ceremonies on the opening night, and
Gerald F. Gahan, national director of
the organization, with headquarters
in Mooseheart, Illinois, is also ex-
pected to be here at that time.

WORKING FOR BFrrER ROADS
Several car loads of Liberals bust

Several car loads of Liberals busi-
ness men, representing the Liberal
Chamber of Commerce, journeyed
out to the Blue Bell school house
Friday night and met with about SO
of the farmers of that district to or
ganize good roads movement. The
meeting was the best of its kind ever
pulled off in this part Of the coun-
try and almost every farmer in the
vicinity turned out. 1t was rousing
meeting, full of pep and enthusiasm.
The business men and farmers gave
short talks on road building and dis
cussed the roads in general. A plan
was launched to build several miles
of gyp clay roads running east from
Liberal. 1t is intended to extend the
road later and connect up with the
Meade county road. The Chamber Of
Commerce has a good, live road COM
mittee and the organization is devot-
ing much of its energy to the build
ing of good roads all over Liberals
trade territory.

SCHOOL CENSUS INCREASED

The school census completed last
week by Miss Mildred Feather
showed very satisfactory increase
in children of scholastic age in Lib
eral. The present census showed 401
girls and Alb boys in the district, a
total Of 814 eligible to attend school
next fall. Last years census showed
only 639, making an increase Of ITS.
Miss Feather raked the town over
thoroughly in her gathering OF
names. and it is doubtful If anyone
escaped whose name should go on
the records.

The present summer is about the
hottest the country has had since the
mind of man runneth not to the con-
trary. Heat prostrations are report
ed from the cities by the score, and
horses that have to work on pave
ment are dropping like flies. No re-
lief is offered by the weather bureau
for several weeks, and unless an un-
forseen change takes place old Soils
toll of life will mount up to the
thousands.

Good evening, how do you feel?''
asked a transient Of Liberal lady
Tuesday evening while the lady was
travelling through an unlighted part
Of town. Good evening, and how
do YOU feel?" replied the lady as
she raped the gentleman in question
over the head with heavy stick she
was carrying as protection against
stray dogs, with a force that nearly
sprained her hand. The fresh one new.
er tarried long enough to answer the
question, but it is thought his head
felt the next day like the morning
after the night before.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dell Reeves have
moved back on their farm south OF
town to spend the winter. Mrs
Reeves will teach school in that dis
trict during the coming term and Mr.
Reeves will try his hand at farming
again, which he had to give up q
while back on account of failing
health.
