KILLED A KANSAS SHERIFF
Walter Davis Of Lyon County Shot
Through Heart by HoIdup
Man at Emporia.

Walter Davis, sheriff of Lyon coun-
~, was shot and instantly killed in a
.evolver duel with two holdup men at
Emporia. Davis, with City Officers
Andy Armstead and Millar White
stopped two men believed to have rob.
bed Ernest Mellon of Fredonia. While
the officers searched one man the
other ran. In a revolver fight which
followed Davis was shot through the
heart. The man being searched did
not attempt to get away. He gave
his name as William E. Smith, and
said he did not know the name Of the
man who killed Davis. Sheriff Davis
was the Democratic candidate for re-
election and was serving his first
term. His wife died last spring. He
leaves three children.
Posses searching the southern part
of Lyon county for the robber have
lost the trail, according to reports re-
ceived at Emporia.
After shooting three members of
the posse near Wiggam, the bandit
disappeared and he has not since been
seen. The Lyon county commission.
ers have offered $1,000 reward and
reward of 500 has been announced
from the office of Governor Capper.
About 300 farmers and townsmen
searched for the fugitive. He is
thought to be hiding in the timber
and brush along Eagle creek, near
Hartford.
Sheriff E. G. Carroll, president Of
the State Sheriffs' Association, mott.
fled more than score of sheriffs in
counties in that part Of Kansas to go
at once to Emporia to help the posse
search for the man.

BAND NOTES

Bandmaster Reasoner has called
a meeting at the band room for Sat-
urday night for the purpose Of get
ting the younger generation inter-
ested in band work. The school
board could help this movement con-
siderable by attending the meeting.
In most of the larger cities the school
boards have a special man to take
up this work, but here the city and
Chamber of Commerce jointly en-
ploy a director, and as he has some
leisure moments he is willing to do
nate his services to the future well
fare of the city and individuals.
Therefore, it would be no more than
fair for the people to give him sup
port in this movement. And remem-
Der that the expenses are all done
away with; the instructions are free,
which should be big inducement to
everyone.
The band boys are grateful for
some smokes" and refreshments
which were received after the last
two concerts, from the Southwestern
Hardware Company and the Eagle
Grocery store.
The band has some good future
prospects, as Harold and Foster
Bragg, who are helping their father
on the farm near Lorena, are COM
ing to Liberal when school starts and
will be regular members of the band
while school lasts.
Great old world this is. To show
you the inconsistency of some peo-
pie: There are millions of dollars
of our good old U. s. money spent
annually for missionary societies to
educate and elevate foreigners, and
as soon as one of them comes to this
country and makes a mistake, they
kick him after he is down instead of
trying to help him back ON his feet.
The charity in a deal of that kind
isn't there!
The band has several clarinet play
ers who are coming in in the near
future, for which we are thankful.
