NJ. w. Swope, of Beaver, was in the
city Yesterday and reported the killing
of a panther on West Leatherwood,
three miles from Beaver. A farmer
hearing commotion among his stock
went out to investigate and saw what
he thought large dog attacking a
calf. He fired and killed it, when on
examination it was found to be a
large panther that measured eight
feet in length. This killing of pam

Harrison people have been having
the same experience with wood haul
ers as the people in other towns in
this section, judging from the follow
ing. taken from the last issue of the
Times: Harrison needs a wood yard
to eaualize the fuel prices. The har-
DIV wood haulers who were able to get
to town during the recent cold spell
deserved some premium, but not four
or five prices for their loads. Several
ricks were sold for $500 per rick,
while one CRATER even asked $500.
Naturally that demoralized the mar
ket, and one day this week our report
!, er inspected four loads, all approx
mately the same size, which ranged
in price from $500 to $3.50, $3.50 and
$500. Such differences are unfortun-
ate for both buyer and seller. The
people of Harrison generally are will
ing to pay fair prices, but excessive
figures will soon lead to the burning
of coal and the shipping in by rail of
their other fuels"

from the score the Jayhawkers lied

IN their home grounds this week and
here will be many interesting clashes
between Kansas conference teams.
The first contest in the state is
booked at Lindsborg tomorrow, when
he scrappy little eleven of Cooper

;wedes. Other contests scheduled in
the state for the week are: Fair
mount against Ottawa, at Ottawa, Fri

Southwestern, at Winfield, Friday;
Washburn gainst K. u, at Lawrence,
Saturday; Kansas Aggies against
X. L., at Lawrence. Saturday; Kan
sas Aggies against Washington u, at
Manhattan, Saturday; Emporia Nor
NAL against Haskell at Emporia, Sat
urday; Baker university against
Friends, at Wichita, Friday.
OF these games, the Emporia
Normal-Has game and the Aggie-
Washington game should be the best,
altho it seems the Aggies ought to
have little trouble in defeating Wash
ington after having taken Missouri to
trimming last week. Ottawa ana
Paramount and Bethany and Cooper
also should put up very interesting
matches if the teams live up to the
form they have shown in their earlier
enga gements.
