the head lock.
The Greek took the head lock early
in the proceedings and securely fas-
tened it. Lewis, by a series of feet
| first lunges and violent kicking, broke
! loose without the loss Of an ear or his
| temper. It was an Illuminating ex-
| ample by an expert of the proper
| method of doing things on the wres-
Ting pad.

BABY'S BODY FOUND
MISSOURI CHILD KIDNAPPED
FROM HOME OF PARENTS
MAY 30.

Springfield, Mo, June Lloyd
Keet is dead. The finding of the
body i'm an old well ended a nation
wide search begun May 30, when the
child was taken from his cradle by
his kidnapers.
J.. Holland Keet, wealthy banker
and his wife identified the body of
their son, which was wrapped in the
same blanket in which the child slept
when he disappeared. This was %
cred by a woman's underskirt.
The body was found or a nearby
deserted farm which previously had
been searched on information hal II
was the headquarters of an "abduc-
ton syndicate" which also planned
the kidnapping of a rich Springfield
jeweler and a st. Louis munitions
manufacturer.
A coil OF wire was tied around the
body and death apparently was due
to drowning. There was a slight
bruise on the face, sustained when
the child was thrown into the well.
1t was found by friends of the Keet
family, acting on private informa-
ton.

MADE LONG TRIP IN MONTANA
NARROWED AND WALKED
MANY MILES.

Frank Willard returned today from
a To-day visit in Montana, where he
visited his brother at Westmore. on
the trip Mr.. Willard visited Three
Forks. Butte, Billings and Miles
City. He says that the same charac-
ter of weather obtained in that coun-
try as has been here this spring-too
much water and cold.
When coming down the Mussel-
shell river over which the Milwaukee
railway crosses 104 times in 100
miles. the railway washed out in
numberless places along the way. 1t
proved embarrassing to him, as ii
washed out both in front and behind
the train he raj in, NARROWING him
near a little station called Lovina,
and he was detained there AS hours.
Finally he and some others walked
Is miles over the remains of the rail
way, and went around the flood over
the Great Northern. There were 10
people in the train, and they ate ev-
erything available In the dining car
and in the store OF the small town.

CITIZENS TRAINING
STATE TRAINING ASSOCIATION
LOOKS TOWARD MADI-
SON MEN.

Nj. H. Colgrove is in receipt of a
letter today from X. f. Cone, com
mitteeman of which Ex-Gov. Herreid
is chairman, proposing the formation
of a citizens training company for
Madison or this county. The propo-
sition is not wholly understood yet in
all its details, but from the tenor of
the letter, which constituted Mr.. Col
grove chairman of a committee at
Madison for working out the details,
it is a matter of preparing in a super
fetal way, men for the central train
ing camps.
These camps are being formed
throughout the country to enable
men who have never had the benefit
of training to get a knowledge of it.
In this letter 1t was advised that
there would be other calls for men in
the central training camps for Off
GERS and men in other positions, and
this would in a measure prepare
them for 1t.
The letter also advised that there
would be many men needed for the
quartermaster department in the re-
serve corps. Fuller information on
both subjects will be obtained later,
and an announcement of whether
anything will be done toward the for
nation of some such organization for
Madison.
