Van WOrmer Flees
From the State
Not Seen Since Supreme Court Up
held Verdict. Governor Capper
Offers $500 Reward.

Don Van Wormer, ordered arrest
ed and taken to the penitentiary by
the supreme court last Saturday, for
the murder of Sheriff Martin C..
Moore, of Morton county, two years
ago, has absconded. Governor Cap
per yesterday offered a reward Of
$500 for his apprehension.
Mayo Thomas and C. M. Dean,
citizens Of Morton county, came to
Topeka yesterday to confer with s.
M. Brewster, attorney general, and
Governor Capper. They brought the
information that Van Wormer was
last seen in Dodge City, July 5, the
day before the supreme court upheld
the decision Of the Hamilton county
district court, which convicted Van
Wormer of murder in the first degree
and sentenced him to life imprison-
ment.
The citizens of Southwestern Kan
sas have had no idea as to the where
abouts Of Van Wormer, but the gen.
eral belief is that he went to Mexico.
Every effort will be made to appre-
hend him, however.
Van Wormer was on a $4,000
bond, but Mr.. Thomas and Mr.. Dean
said yesterday that probably not
more that $4,000 could be collected
on the bond.-Topeka Capital.

SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS
ENTERTAINED AT PARTY

The Sunday school class Of Miss
Wanda Cross was entertained at a
little party given at the home of Miss
Margaret Stoufer Wednesday night.
Each member of the class brought
another friend. They spent some
time on the lawn playing games.
Margaret had prepared hunting
contest which caused lively interest.
Butterflies had been hidden, and one
of Louisa Alcott's books was given
as a prize to the one who found the
most.
After the contest the guests seated
themselves on the lawn and told
stories until refreshments were
served, after which they went in the
house and were beautifully enter
tanned with music by the hostess, un-
til time to leave. A good time was
reported by all.
Those present were: Ruth Printz,
Anna Cross, Ernestine Sparkling, Be-
atrice Frey, Lorraine Spradling, Char

is THERE GAS IN
THE TRADERS TEST?
Persistent Rumor that a Flow Was
Found on the Boles Farm
Is Uneonfrmed.

Has flow of gas been encounter
ed in the Traders test on the Boles
farm west Of Liberal?
Anyone who knows will please fur
nish the information.
Last week the rumor spread like
wildfire and everyone was asking the
question, but up to the present time
no one seems qualified to answer it.
H. H. McQuigg, petroleum engin-
eer for the Traders Oil Company, who
is in charge of the well, says he has
neither seen nor heard the gas, but
since it is the universal rule of en-
ployees Of oil companies to not give
information, and no one has right
to the information it might have been
a mistake to have asked the question.
This report seems to have come
from Wichita, but who brought it or
what was the source we have been
unable to discover.
There is no information available
as to the depth of the well, but it is
generally thought that there is an ex-
cellent chance that oil will be found
before a great while and it is likely
that with the present hight price Of
oil that the we'll will be brought in if
it is shown that it will be producer.

UNION OUTDOOR
EVENING SERVICES

For several years it has been the
custom of the churches in Liberal to
unite in open air evening services
during July and August. These SER
vices have been much enjoyed by
many people. This fine spirit of CO.
operation and good fellowship has
been one of the means in creating
the splendid cooperation so charac-
teristic of the churches of our city.
There are very few towns that can
boast of the church spirit that can
be found here.
Next Sunday, July 81, open air
services will begin on the corner Of
Second street and Lincoln avenue,
the same location where the services
were held last year. There will be a
song service that will be enjoyed by
all. The meetings will begin at 8
o'clock sharp so that the service will
close before dark. This decision was
reached at a meeting of the Minis
ter's Association, it being the de-
sire of all to cooperate with the
government in conservation. The
twilight service will make it unneces-
sary to use lights.
1t is the desire of those in charge
of the services that the people come
promptly at the time set so that the
services will close on time.

QUENTIN ROOSEVELT
DIES IN AIR BATTLE
Youngest Son of Former Presiden,
Fell Within Enemy
Lines.

A dispatch to the Associated Press
under date of July II, says:
Lieutenant Quentin Roosevelt,
youngest son Of the former president,
has been killed in an air fight, the
semi-official Havas agency announces.
His machine fell into the enemy
lines. He was killed at Chateau
Thierry on July Ia, says a dispatch
from Paris to the Exchange Tele-
graph Company.
"Quentin Roosevelt, the dispatch
says, was returning from a patrol
flight which was attacked by Ger
man squadron. 1t was seen that
Roosevelt evidently lost control of
his machine, having probably re-
ceived mortal wound.
"It was not in flames when it fell.
"Philip Roosevelt, Quentin's cous-
in, witnessed the air battle in the
vicinity Of Chateau Thierry in which
Quentin was engaged and saw the
machine fall but did not know until
later that the airplane was that of
his cousin"

PRINTER WOULD MAKE
LAWS FOR KANSANS
Voters of Meade County Pick OF
Former Linotype Operator
for Legislature.

W. S. Gibbons of Meade was Lib
eral visitor Monday, and while here
gave out the information that there
was a pretty good chance that he
would represent Meade county in the
next legislature.
Gibbons was at one time Limo
type operator, but failing health
made it necessary. for him to leave
the ranks, and he has been in the in
surance business at Meade for sew
eral years.
He is a four square sort of fell
low and when the people of Meade
county began looking for candidate
for the legislature they decided on
him for the place. He finally was
persuaded to accept the nomination
and now says he is after the job in
earnest.
While on the other side of the po-
litical fence from us if we were vot-
ing in Meade county we would use
our left hand when marking the bal
lot and give him cross, because we
believe that he can have a wholesome
influence in framing the laws from
the standpoint of the people.

GERMAN HELMET
Liberal Boy in France Sends Parents
Headgear Of German
Soldier.

Lieutenant Richard M. Cav has
sent to his parents, Mr.. and, Mrs.
Thos. W. Cav, a German helmet,
picked up on the battlefield in France.
The helmet is on display in the win
dow Of Griffith & Baughman.
It weighs something over three
pounds and would seem to be pref
ty heavy head dress. Inside there is
a lot Of leather harness which fits the
head, so the metal does not come in
contact with it.

attention and we are told that Mayor
Smith has appealed to the Chamber of
Commerce for a couple Of men to
be stationed outside the window to
explain it to interested persons.

PLAINS EVANCELISTIC
CAMPAIGN POSTPONED

Word has come that Plains has de-
cided to postpone the evangelistic
campaign planned for some time.
This news will be great disappoint-
ment to many Liberal people that ex-
pected to be able to get to Plains to
hear Evangelist Rayburn. It is hoped
that the Plains people will complete
their plans so as to have their cam
paign in the near future. They are
missed a splendid treat for the pres
ent. We are told that it is planned
to Have Mr.. Rayburn visit Liberal
sometime this fall. We are sure that
a great many Liberal people will be
glad to see and hear him. He is a
very busy man and is using his time
to the best advantage continually, but
we believe day spent here would
be worth his while.

PRESBYTERIANS DEDI-
CATE SERVICE FLAG

A large audience was present at
the impressive flag dedication Sum
day evening at the Presbyterian
church. The program naturally was
Of patriotic nature. The songs
were appropriate for the occasion.
Two Of these were new. One en-
titled "God Keep and Guide Our
Men" was written by Rev. J. WILDER
Chapman, Moderator of the Presby-
terian General Assembly. The other
has special interest because few if
any songs have been written with the
branch Of the National Service on
which centers attention in mind. We
give the words because they are not
familiar to many-it is sung to the
tune Of "Fling Out the Banner"
"Lord guard and guide the men who
fly
Through great spaces of the sky,
Be with them traversing the air
In darkening storm or sunshine fair.
"Thou who dost keep with tender
might
The balanced birds in all their flight,
Thou of the tempered wings be near,
That, having thee, they know no fear.
"Aloft in solitudes of space
Uphold them with Thy saving grace;
o, God, protect the men who fly
Through lonely ways beneath the
sky"
Mrs. ]. E. Johnson sang the fami-
liar song "Keep the Home Fires Burn
ing" in her usual pleasing manner.
The names of the men who have gone
in the service of the country from
the congregation was read and the
audience stood during the prayer of
dedication. Following are the men
who are now Represented by the star
on the flag: By red stars Eugene
Stoufer, Ben Thompson, George
Thompson, Sergeant Richard Cav.
BY blue stars Donald Orr, Ebert Ed
wards, Vern Roth, Harland Hodges,
James Chairman, Earl Printz, Tom
Manatt, William Farmer, C. W. Law,
John Riggle, Arthur Andrews.
Following the dedication Of the
flag the pastor spoke on the subject
Making Democracy Safe for the
World" This was the last evening
service for several weeks, the church
uniting with the other churches Of
Liberal in the open air evening SER
vices which begin next Sunday night
to continue for six weeks.

CREAMERY BUSINESS
HOLDING UP WELL
Shipped Another Car of Butter and
Eggs Tuesday, Morning

Despite the fact that business usu-
ally begins to slow up at this time of
the year, the volume of the Equity
Creamery holds to the good.
Another car of butter and eggs
was shipped Tuesday. This ship
ment contained 283 tubs of butter,
weighing 1899 pounds. The egg
shipment amounted to 152 cases of
80 dozen each, or 1850 dozen.
The volume Of business for the
week was about the same as last
week.
The Creamery continues to be a
busy place, and from present indi-
cation it would be judged that car
shipments could be made regularly
hereafter.

Liberal Chautauqua
Feast of Good Things
Many Excellent Numbers on the
Program Beginning
July 26.

Liberals Chautauqua opens July
26, and will offer a series of enter
tainments that should appeal to the
people Of Liberal and surrounding
country.
On account of the numerous war
activities not great deal of adver-
tising is being done in behalf of the
Chautauqua, but that is no reason
for its not being a good entertain
ment.
There will be six days of music,
lectures, etc., and there should be a
good attendance at each number.
The price of season tickets has
been placed at 1920 for adults which
is very low figure and one which
should enable everyone to attend. All
the net proceeds Of the Chautauqua
will be turned over to the local Red
Cross Chapter, so no one need feel
that they are spending their money
unnecessarily in attending the pro-
grams. You will be entertained and
at the same time the money will go
to worthy cause.
Speaking of the Chautauqua Presi-
dent Wilson says:
My dear Mr.. Flowers:
1t has been on my mind for some
time to thank your organization for
the very real help it has given to
America in the struggle that is con-
cerned with every fundamental ele-
ment of national life. Your speak
ers, going from community to COM
munity, meeting people in the friend
ly spirit engendered by years of in
innate and understanding contact,
have been effective messengers for
the delivery and Interpretation of
democracy's meaning and imperative
needs. The work that the Chautau-
qua is doing has not lost Importance
because Of the war, but rather has
gained new opportunities for SER
vice.
Let me express the hope that you
will let no encouragement weaken
your activities, and that the people
will not fail in the support of a pa
triotic institution that may be said
to be an integral part of the national
defense.
Cordially and sincerely yours,
WOODROW WILSON.
Remember the dates-July 1851,
and make it a point to take in as
many Of the numbers as possible.
