SUMMERS BUGGIES.

Walter Price, one of the substan-
tial farmers residing near the city,
read our notice with regard to the
Summers Buggies last week and hur-
ried into town to get one from Mr..
w. A. Calvert, the dealer. Mr.. Price
already had a Summers Buggy, which
he had been using constantly for
eleven years, but he had decided that
he wanted a new one, and had been
waiting until Mr.. Calvert got in the
carload. He was allowed $4,000 for
his old Summers which was a pretty
good price after eleven years of SER
vice. Calvert sold the old buggy on
Saturday at a profit. The Summers
will carry you back to the time when
a man bought only one buggy in a
lifetime. It is repeater. ,

In Wooden
CoU and Killed
Three Germans

Paris. Jan. 1.-THE nearest thing in
this war to the famous Horse of Troy
is told of in a French soldiers letter
from a base hospital at the front. II
was a wooden COW in this case and
thereby hangs the story of how the
soldier happened to be in hospital
The French trenches al this soldier
particular part of the front were fltsy
yards from the German trenches. A
harmless old COW relieved trench mo-
notony each day by grazing between
the lines. The French and German
soldiers finally came to an understand
ing that the opposing lines should al
ternately have the opportunity or
milking the COW and be immune from
attack during the operation. This
went on for some time until a French
officer suspected that the Germans
were using their milking time for spy
ing purposes and ordered the next
German milking party to be fired on
The French soldiers thereupon built
a wooden COW, as near as possible a
counterpart of the real one, and put a
machine gun inside to await the Ger
man milkmen. The soldier who re-
lates the story took his station inside
the COW and was successful in Staying
three Germans as they approached
with milk pals. Having fulfilled his
mission the soldier prepared to slide
his wooden COW back to the trench
when he was interrupted by terrific
shock. The COW was smashed to
pieces. The soldier succeeded in
escaping. though wounded. That is
how he happened to be in hospital.

Complain to Consul of Treat
ment by the Police.
Topeka OFFICERS DIG 1T UP
Find Communication Addressed
to Jack Dancinger.
Charge That Police Are Cruel
in Their Methods.

Information unearthed by the local
police iS to the effect that there has
been unrest among Mexicans in several
different cities of the state for several
weeks.
Letters taken from Jesus Diaz a
Mexican from nowhere in particular,
by Detective Alba contain complaints
to be forwarded to the Mexican con-
sui, Jack Dancinger, at Kansas City,
that Kansas MeXicans are being i'm
posed upon by officials. The letter
taken from Diaz was addressed to
Juan Velasquez, now in Topeka. Nelas-
quez was to have forwarded the letter
to Dancinger.
Petitions stating that Kansas Mexi-
cans have been treated with cruelty
by Kansas officials have been circu-
lated in Manhattan, Herington, Wich-
ita and Topeka. In Topeka, it is said,
that practically every Mexican in the
settlement was a signer. The petitions
were then forwarded to the Mexican
consul who, by the way. is a wholesale
liquor dealer.
Take Troubles to the Papers.
Articles on the alleged mistreatment
of Kansas MeMcans, have appeared
from time to time in Kansas City pa
pers. on January 5, the police say,
one Kansas City paper devoted con-
siderable space to the situation"
The published matter was obtained,
the police say, from Mexicans who
have been circulating the petitions
Complaints which the Mexicans are
making to their consul are to the ef-
feet that police officers are cruel in
their methods, that the police enter
Mexican homes without papers and Of
fend in other ways.
Governor Capper has received let
ters wherein complaints were made as
: to the treatment of the poor hombre'
in Kansas, from the Mexican repre-
sentative in Kansas City.

are causing the unrest. Just what is
done, depends probably upon future
actions of the militant southerners.
