Topeka Family Had Exciting
Roping Contest Today.
Angry Boy With Butcher Knife
Played Part of Steer.
That's the Way Relatives Had
Him When Sheriff Arrived.
Too Many Jobs Cause of Leedy
Baskins's Troubles.

Leedy Baskins, a nineteen -year-old
boy, went on a rampage with butch
erknife in hard today and when the
officers arrived his relatives had him
choked down with a strap and tied
hand and foot.
Baskins and his mother fell out be-
cause he had two jobs offered him.
One paid him $3.50 a day and the other
fifty cents q day. He insisted upon
taking the fifty-cents-a-day job and
his mother stood out for the other job.
The fight started between mother
and son but it spread rapidly, involv-
in-law. The family went round;
Leedy and his butcherknife after first
one dear relative then another, and
the remaining two after him with
straps and ropes.
Roped Like a Steer.
Finally someone made a lucky
throw and a looped strap fell over
Leedy's head. Four willing hands
grasped it and when it pulled taut
circulation and respiration ceased. A
few seconds of steady pulling and the
youth was flat on his back gasping
for air and three affectionate rela-
tives were trusting MIN up with rope.
Then call was put in for the
sheriff. Robert Miller reached the
Baskins home at Twenty third and
Madison streets after the fight was
over. While the three relatives
gathered in out-of-the-way places he
cut the ropes and loosened the strap,
then stood the boy up.
He took him to the courthouse and
a complaint charging him with some
crime Will be sworn out later. Bas-
klns has been in several similar
scrapes. Less than two years ago he
shot negro boy in the lip with a

Travel to Europe After War.

When the European war is over it
will scarcely be possible to find steam
ers sufficient to carry the American
people who for year or two will
rush to Europe. Hundreds of thou
sands of tourists will want to go
simply to see the ruin that war has
made. 1t is quite safe to estimate
that pleasure tourists, those who go
to hunt up relatives and those who
desire to study battlef1elds and scien-
tific achievements, will spend a sum
not less than $500,000.000 a year for
several years after the war closes.
We do not believe the extent of this
business has been generally under
stood. In volume and in influence on
international finance and on the bal
ance Of trade it will have a very far
reaching observation-disclosures Rec

GOOD BACKS FOR BAD
Maysville Residents Are Learning
How to Exchange the Old Back
For q Stronger One.

Does your back ache, feel weak and
painful!
Do you suffer headaches, languor
and depression?
The kidneys may be calling for
help.
Weak kidneys cannot do their work.
Give them the help they need.
To cure kidney backache you must
cure the kidneys.
Use tested and proven kidney rem
edy.
Doan's Kidney Pills have stood the
test.
Convincing proof of merit in Mays
vile endorsement:
Mrs. M. Holiday, 221 w. Second
St., Maysville, says: "At times, my
back has ached across my kidneys. My
kidneys have been irregular in action
and l have had dizzy spells and head
aches. l have always used Doan's
Kidney Pills, getting them at Wood &
Sons Drug Store, and they have never
failed to relieve these complaints"
Mrs. Holiday is only one Of many
Maysville people who have gratefully
endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. If your
back aches-if your kidneys bother
you, don't simply ask for kidney
remedy-ask distinctly for DOAN'C
KIDNEY PILLS, the same that Mrs.
Holiday had-the remedy backed by
home testimony. SOC all stores. Eos
