FAMILY DROWNED
AT WOODWARD

A horrible tragedy occurred at
Woodward Saturday when Harry
Smith his wife and baby were drown
ed in attempting to cross the Beaver
river at that point. There is low
bridge at the crossing. 1t was sub
merged by the swollen waters of the
flood and the guy wire which mark
ed its course was swept away by the
floating tilnbers and other debris.
In attempting to drive across the sub
merged bridge, the team veered to
one side and the wagon and occu-
pants went over into the turbulent
waters, the father, mother and baby
going down to a watery grave. An
other child, boy Of four years, was
riding with a teamster who was
hitched on in front helping the load
ed wagon across. The little fellow
clung on the suspenders of the man
and was carried to safety. All Wood
ward was at the scene of the tragedy
in a short while and search began for
the bodies of the victims. Sunday
the mother was found in pile of

LIBERAL MAN HAS
VALUABLE OLD PAPER
l. N. Pennington Owner of New York
Herald. of April, 1865.

A copy of the New York Herald if
April 10, 1865, being an extra edi-
tion containing the news Of the assas-
scination of President Lincoln, is the
property of l. N. Pennington of this
city.
Mr.. Pennington brought the pa
per down few days ago for us to
look over and we found it a very in
teresting sheet, indeed. The paper
differs greatly with the paper of to-
day. 1t is four page six column
sheet, set in the smallest type, and
the headlines all single column.
The column and head rules are all
turned" up-side-down making wide,
black lines between the columns, a
practice that went out of style some
thing like twenty-five years ago.
The news of the death of Presi-
dent Lincoln is we'll handled, every
detail being touched upon at length.
The paper also contains a great
deal Of war news, and many editor
ials on conditions existing at that
time.
One of the feature stories says
that JEFF Davis yainly promises to
hold Virginia at all hazards" and con-
tinuing says that Davis thinks that
"the fall of Richmond is a blessing in
Disguise"

Popular Young Minister Will Enter
Missionary Field After
Schooling.

An announcement that has caused
no little comment was made last Sun
day evening when Rev. Paul J. Gates
of the Baptist church read his resig-
nation to his congregation.
Gates is arranging his affairs and
as soon as he can get things in shape
he will go to Toxic, Japan, where he
will enter school to prepare for SER
vice in the field as a missionary.
In the event that Mr.. Gates does
not receive his commission to go to
Japan he will enter the military SER
vice Of the Government.
While we glory in the spirit shown
by Mr.. Gates we cannot help but re-
'gret his leaving US. He is hard
worker and a capable gentleman,
and during his stay here has done
some excellent work.
During his ministry Of the local
church the organization has gone for
ward remarkably. He. is fellow
that you just have to like because he
is open and above board in all things.
He has habit of saying what he
thinks, but thinks sensibly, making
what he says count.
The best we can hope for our
selves is that his successor is a man
of equal ability, and for him that in
his new field of labor he may find
pleasure beyond his most fond expec-
tations.
The best wishes of the entire COM
munity will go with he and Mrs.
Gates.

Seward Co. to Have
Better Baby Week
June IS and 20 at the Christian
Church in Liberal and June IS
At kismet at the u. B. Church

There will be Better Baby Week
in Liberal on Wednesday and Thurs
day, June 10 and 20 at the Christian
church from $50 to 4:30 of each
day and at the same hours in Kismet
at the U. B. church Tuesday, June
18.
We especially invite the mothers
with babies under five years to come
and bring their babies that they may
be scored by competent doctors and
nurses.
There will be booths demonstrating
proper care, proper food, rest, proper
clothing, sanitation and other inter
esting and instructive methods for
the proper care Of the baby.
How few realize the great import
ance of this work. The great war
has given new emphasis to the inn
portance of the child as primary
national asset. The future and
strength of the nation unquestion-
ably depend upon the vitality of the
child upon his health and develop
ment; and as the war has progressed
provision for children's recreation
and for protection against delin-
quency has received increasing at
tention.
A number of the ladies have been
giving great deal Of their time to-
ward bringing this about successfully
and we trust the mothers will coop
crate with US by bringing their ba-
bies OH one of these days.
Anyone desiring any information
regarding the work may confer with
Mrs. o. G. Armstrong.
There will be a stereopticon lec-
ture under the direction Of Miss Mel
son in the evening on Better Babies.
DR.. Smith has efficiently planned
the hours and supervision and will
give an interesting lecture to moth
ers.

RILEY JONES INJURED
IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT
Stepped in Front of Moving Car and
Was Badly Hurt.

Riley Jones living north of Plains
was seriously injured Sunday morn
ing when he stepped in front of a
moving automobile.
He was driving cattle and did not
hear the car approaching. When the
car was right on to him he heard the
honk of the horn and instead of get
ting out of the way he stepped in
front of the car.
He was knocked down and the car
passed over his body. He was uncon-
scious when picked up and remained
unconscious until he had been
brought to the Liberal hospital.
He was unable to move his arms
or head until Tuesday, when he re-
gained the use of his neck and one
arm. The ligaments are badly in
jured so it was difficult to determine
whether or not there were broken
bones, although such is not thought
to be the cases.
1t was also feared that he was in
jured internally but at this time
there are no indications that such
fears were well grounded.
He was certainly badly bruised up
and it is luck that his injuries were
not more serious.
At last reports he is getting along
nicely.

King Collier, one of the wide

although he has done all he can al
this time, has made the following
offer, which the Local Chapter has &C

Mr.. Golfers offer is as follows
He agrees to furnish the land, the
seed and the labor to put out 125
acres Of broom corn. He will care
for the crop until it is ready to har'
vest, paying all the expense, At har'
vest time he is to turn the crop over
to the Red Cross who will harvest

Then Mr.. Collier will split the re-
ceipts with the Red Cross Chapter

This Is a fair proposition, and if
there is a good crop this year and
prices are high as usual, the organi-
zation should realize a neat sum from
the project.

Pool Halls to Be
Thing of the Past
City Council Votes to Refuse to Issue
Amy More Licenses for
Pool Halls.

For several years there has beer
more or less agitation in favor Of
closing the pool halls of Liberal. The
matter has been discussed at vari
Gus times but only recently has senti
ment crystalized sufficiently to de-
termine the best thing to do.
At meeting of the City Council
the last of the week a communica
ton from the Ministerial Association
was presented, asking the council tc
refuse to issue licenses to pool halls
when those now in effect have ex.
pired.
The matter was discussed thor.
oughly and put to a vote, the result
being that after the first of July
when the present licenses expire
there will be no more pool halls in
Liberal.
The action of the council in this
matter is, of course, not without criti-
cism, but we are inclined to think
that their action was wise. It was
only a matter of time until the issue
would be settled, and it SENS to us
that the less fuss that could be made
about it, the better.
Within the range of our know.
ledge, whenever the matter of clos
ing the pool halls has been left up to
a vote of the people the pool halls
have lost, and many times the result
of the agitation has caused hard feel
ings and retaliation that has injured
the commercial life of the town.
There is little doubt that had the
matter been submitted to a popular
vote of the people that it would have
resulted the same and the election
would have been for naught.
There is just one thing in this con-
nection that the people of Liberal
should get to thinking about. With
the closing of the pool halls there is
going to be no place for transients,
farmers who stay in town over night
or young fellows who are boarding
to spend their idle time. The good
people of Liberal should rent build
ing in the downtown district and Gre
ate reading room with some gym
nasium equipment, and have a place
where men can go to spend a few
hours. This is a vital need in every
town, and we hardly deem it fair
proposition to take anything with
out giving something in return.
There is a class of citizens, and we
cannot say an undesirable class
either, who have whiled away even
ings after work at pool halls. These
should have some consideration and
"a we'll equipped reading and rest
room, where friends could meet
would be no more than the town owes
them.
We will be glad to give space to
short letters touching on this propo-
sition and would very much like Q
public discussion of the matter.

CROP PROSPECT GAINING
AS RAINFALL INCREASES
Additional Moisture is Adding to
Chances for Fall Crop.

Although there is plenty of mois-
ture in the ground the fine rains that
have fallen recently are not going to
hurt anything. From farmers in va
rious parts of the country we learn
that the wheat has come out like
everything and the fields that had
been figured would be total loss
now look good for ten bushels per
acre or better.
And another thing to be consider
ed is that the ground. is in fine shape
for putting out spring crops, and the
farmers are taking advantage of the
opportunity to get out a big acre
age.
With the present conditions pre-
vailing during the remainder of the
season this county is going to make
showing in advance of that in many
sections where land is three or four
times as high as it is here and this
is going to stimulate immigration.

MURDER AND SUICIDE
AT DALHART SUNDAY
Ranch Owner Shoots Wife and Cuts
His Own Throat.

Trouble that is thought to have been
caused by the war resulted in a mur-
der and suicide at Dalhart last Sun
day morning, when d. H. Zachry, a
wealthy ranch owner, shot his wife
and took his own life by cutting his
throat.
Zachry was Of German birth, while
his wife. was French. Intimate
friends have known there was fric-
tion in the family for some time and
only recently Mrs. Zachry had told
that she feared death at the hands of
her husband,
The Zachrys have four sons, two
of them are members of the National
Guard, another is attending bust.
ness college at Hutchinson, while the
fourth son is at home,
In fear Of her husband, Mrs. Zach
ry spent Saturday night at the home
of a friend, returning to her home
early Sunday morning. Whether or
not the couple had words Is not
known, but it is supposed that there
had been trouble upon her arrival.
She was in the yard feeding the
chickens, when her husband appeared
in the door with Winchester. He
called her by name and as she turn
ed he shot her through the body, kill
ing her instantly. Then he inflicted
severe wound on the side Of his
throat. Bleeding profusely, he went
to where the body Of his wife lay and
raised her up. Finding her lifeless
he returned to the house and slashed
the other side Of his neck, inflicting
wounds from which he died at mid
night the same night.
While Mrs. Zachry was well
thought of and stood high in the es-
timation Of the people, her husband,
it is said, was a hard drinker and had
squandered large part Of his-for-
tune in drink.
When the physician was dressing
Zachry's wounds he asked for an
anaesthetic, but the physician re-
fused.
A letter was found in the house
written by the wife, saying that she
expected to be killed at any time.
She was making plans to leave her
husband as soon as the sons left,
and some think that she made this
fact known to him the morning Of the
tragedy.
It appears to be lucky thing that
Zachry died of his wounds as the
feeling was high and there is little
doubt that had he not taken his own
life he would have been handled
roughly.

Must Connect With

Council Passes Ordinance Ordering
Property Owners to
Connect.

At recent meeting of the city
council an ordinance was passed re-
quiring that property owners in the
city OF Liberal, whose property is To-
Gated near sewer or within block
of sewer district, connect their
property to the sewer system.
This matter has been under advise
ment for some time and it is thought
that the interest of the public health
can best be served by the order.
While it is going to cost some
property owners considerable money
to make the connection at this time,
the matter of the health of the peo-
pie should always be the first con-
sideration and we are inclined to
think that the order is good one.

The grocery dealers of Liberal will

Residents of the city had better
