Judge Lancaster Of the muf,icipa

Judge Lancaster Of the municipal
court is called upon in the course of
his administration Of affairs at that
tribunal to bring about q settlement
Of many cases outside OF those which
are brought before him for trial. and
in great variety. but one Of the most
novel complaints which has yet been
brought to his notice was a "kick''
which was made yesterday morning
by man who claimed that neigh
boris rooster disturbed his .sluinbers
by beginning to crow at $50 in the
morning and keeping it up until af-
ter daylight. In the course Of regis
tering his complaint the man con-
fided to the Judge his belief that when
the rooster arrived on his neighbor's
premises short time ago. was that
the man had secured the bird as the
principal ingredient for a chicken
dinner for the following Sunday, but
several Sundays had gone by and
the rooster still continued to crow
each morning at the unreasonable
hour mentioned and with the regu-
larity Of an alarm clock. and regu-
larly robbing the complainant Of
sleep after that hour. 1t also came
out that the complainant and the
owner of the rooster are not on
speaking terms, which threatened to
become an impediment in any over
lures which might be made with a
view to bringing about an amicable
settlement between the two, but fl
nally the services of one Of the po-
lice officers was secured as a media
tor and he called upon the owner of
the rooster. with the result that the
latter expressed his intention Of MAX
ing IN the near future a change of
his flock Of poultry to another part Of
his lot, so that the Growing Of his
rooster would no longer awaken his
neighbor in the morning.

MANY OF THE BEST ATHLETES IN THE COUNTRY ARE PUT TING UP NEW MARKS

 Chief Yeomau Frank Hill, coach of the track team believes that his one mile relay squad will break ,he worlds record before The indoor track season ends Aul those who are fam iIiar with the way they do things al Great Lakes are satisfied that the presen, record has but a short time to live.
 Outside of the determination to set a record there is something else needed. Runners are the necessities in this case, and Coach Hill is cer- tain he has them, Anyone versed on track topics will agree with him after the names of Andy Ward. Eddie Fall and Jimmy Burke are mentioned, and then there's Speed" Boeddecker from the Columbian A. C. of St. Louis, who rates with the best flyers in Mis- souri,
 Ward iu the present 100 and 220 yard National A. A. L. champion and is recorded as one of the worlds greatest sprinters. Eddie Fall holds the Central 4. A T. record for the mile and is listed among the great distance runners of l9l7 James Burke, formerly represented the Bos- .ou 4 A. and has successfully engaged Ted Meredith, Earl Eby, Abel Kiyiat and Tom Halpin in match races Boeddecker is one of the most prom isiug young runners in the middle west
 With each man capable of stepping g quarter mile round 0:50, Hill sees no reasan why his quarter cannot crack the present record As alter mates. he has Carl Hellberg, 1917 track captain of Lake Forest University; Scott of the University of Nebraska, and Tennant, q youngster who was de- veIoped here.
