BEGINNING OF THE
 MILITARY SALUTE

The military salute. which some of our soldiers and sailors are occas- ionally accused of emitting, had curious origin, if tradition is to be believed. It is said that it originated in the days of the tournament at which queen of beauty was chosen to preside. The knights and their esquires and all who took part in the tourney, on presenting themselves before the queen. lifted each one a hand level with the brows as though dazzled by the light of her presence.

TRUCK THRU BRIDGE
Approach to Soldier Creek Structure
Gave Way Under Ice Load.

A Seymour company motor truck,
bound for Perry with a load of ice,
crashed partially over the south ap-
proach of the Kansas avenue bridge
across Soldier creek this morning. An
accident, wherein the costly machine
with its cargo would have tumbled in
to the stream, was narrowly averted.
The Kansas avenue bridge has been
condemned for more than a year. Its
condition is admitted, even by county
officials, to be- dangerous. Boyd Pol
lon, county commissioner from the
North district, suggested closing the
structure a month ago, but nothing
was done.
The commissioners have announced
that a new bridge is to take the place
of the old structure. One was planned
but a blunder on their part in placing
the cost at more than $4,000, which
would have necessitated county cleo
ton, delayed matters. Now there is
no fund available until the 1918 ap-
preparation which is obtainable this
month.

USE DORMANT FUNDS
City Will Put All Its Idle Money to
Work.

A thousand dollars or more will be
diverted into the city's general fund
from dead funds carried on the city
treasurer's books for years, under a
ruling made today by George P. Hay
den, city attorney. Recently the ques-
ton arose as to what should be Gone
with hundreds of dollars lying dormant
in the treasury and charged against
funds long since extinct.
"a city should be transformed into
a business institution" says Hayden IN
his ruling. Therefore, L believe the
city commissioners will have power TO
kill these old funds and put the money
in the general fund where it can do
some good, the same as any business
institution would do"
The exact amount of moneys in
these old funds is not known. In some
funds cents has been carried from
year to year on the books while IN
other funds $500 and $500 have been
lying idle for a similar length of time

RAMIREZ ON TRIAL
Mexican Is Charged With Kill
ing Fellow COuntryman.
Buried in Shallow Grave, Vic
TINS Feet Stuck Out.

Justo Ramirez, an unnaturallzed
Mexican, understanding only enough
of the English language to take orders
from a railway section boss, is on trial
in the first division of the district
court for murder. His little raven
haired children, knowing nothing OF
what was transpiring in their pres
ence, played around the courtroom
first at the knee of the father, then
back where the mother sat among
other Mexican women.
Ramirez is charged with killing
Francisco Burciago, another Mexican,
and burying him in a shallow grave
beside the Wakarusa river at Rich
land. Burciago and Ramirez were
members of a Mexican railway gang
employed by the Missouri Pacific at
Richland. 1t is charged that one
night in February after a drunken
spree Ramirez and Burciago left the
scene of the drinking ahead of sew
eral other Mexicans; that within few
minutes Ramirez returned and stated
that he had killed Burciago.
Companions Helped Him.
1t is charged by the state that RAJ
mirezs companions started to raise
sufficient money to get him out of the
country and that failing in that they
aided him in carrying the body to a
lonely spot and burying it. 1t is fur
Their charged by the state that after
a time rains washed some of the soil
off the shallow grave and exposed
the dead mans feet; that Ramirez
learned of it and attempted to hide
the evidence of the crime by piling
brush over the grave.
Whether or not the charges are true
will be brought out in the trial which
began just before noon today. The
states witnesses are practically all
Mexicans. 1t was thru them that
Augustin Alba, detective on the Tope-
ka police forced, learned of the kill
ing, leading to the arrest of Ramirez.
