Prominent Galena Attorney
Is Found Dead ut Bot

Stairs.

Dexter Sapp, well known all
over Cherokee county, who last
fall ran for county attorney. was
found dead. The reports of the
place where his body was found
and the cause OF his death are
conflicting.
One report runs that Mr.. Sapp
was found dead in his Office by
his father and that there was
evidence that he had committed
suicide. A different one ascribes
his death to heart trouble and
another one is that he
was killed by a fall down the
stairs of the building in which
his Office was located. Still an
other rumor is about, to the effect
that Mr.. Sapp was slugged and
robbed. The case is being in
vestigated.

New Fire Truck Here

The new combination chemical
and hose motor car, bought by
the city council in January dur
ing Mayor Wizards administra-
ton, arrived Monday and since
then has been tried out under
the direction of Fire Chief w. w.
Wyatt. 1t sure is classy turn
out, strictly down-to-the-minute
in modern appointments for fire
fighting. 1t is the product of
Geo. c. Hale Co.'s factory at
Kansas City. 1t is propelled by
a 40 hp engine and has electric
lights and self starting equipment.
The fire fighting equipment con-
sists of three chemical tanks, one
of which is 35 gallons and two
so gallon capacity; also 200 feet
of chemical hose, 2 ladders, 2 fire
axes, 2 hand grenades, 2 lanterns
and 2 torches. When fire hyd-
rants are installed the chemical
tanks can be removed and regu-
lar water hose reels put on the
truck. The price Of the outfit
was $3,400. The terms of pay
ments arranged were $1,000
down, 500 August LIST, $1,000
February l, 1918, and 500
August l, 1918.
Before the new motor car was
shipped from Kansas City the
company wrote Chief Wyatt for
instructions as to whether it
should be shipped or whether a
man from Baxter would go up
and drive it down. Owing to
the muddy condition of the roads
il was decided to have the car
shipped.
The city has the option of
turning in the old chemical cart
for 5000, but the council has not
vet decided to do so. One of the
old hand chemical carts will be
placed in ward 3; the other
tradedin to the company for 5000.

Chautauqua Next Week

The Chautauqua will open in
Baxter Springs next Wednesday
afternoon. The appearance here
of this popular institution from
year to year now for the fifth
consecutive time has been made
possible by the pledges each year
on the part of a number OF
citizens to pay the company for
its services. In case the receipts
from the sale Of tickets Is not
sufficient to cover the amount the
balance has been made up by
assessing the guarantorS for the
difference. Last year the receipts
were adequate and a small sur
plus was realized which will be
used to help defray the expenses
this year.
The point is that the Chautau-
qua is not in any manner a
money making enterprise as far
as the guarantors in this town
are concerned. The movement
has been carried on for no other
purpose than to add to the
attractiveness of Baxter Springs
and develop the taste of our
people for good, wholesome
amusement and entertainment.
The advertising matter has
been widely disseminated and it
is not necessary for The News to
use space in telling its readers
what the Chautauqua this year
is going to be like.
We wish, however, to urge our
readers all to do their part if
possible in encouraging the work,
by making plans now to spend
the five days with the family at
the Chautauqua. The price of a
season ticket is $500. Ticket
sellers will be around this week
to give you the opportunity to
buy tickets. Be generous and
thereby harvest your full share
of pleasure and profit from the
entertainments and insure a
continuance of the Chautauqua
season in Baxter Springs.
B. H. Shields, who went to
Rochester, MINI. last week has
written to his relatives here

operation was performed.

You were passed by all the rest,
If you do your level best,

Never mind Dame Fortunes frown

There are thousands just like you,
With the same hard tasks to do,
And they're always winning through
