The friends of Theodore (Ted)
Schnase, who have known him for SO
many years, were surprised to learn
of his sudden death which occurred
at the family home southeast of town
Friday afternoon, August 18th. For
several weeks he has been in poor
health but had been in WaKeeney
with his wife and son during the fore
noon During the afternoon sudden
change took place and his death oc-
CURED soon afterward. The funeral
services were held at the home Sun
day morning at 10 o'clock and the re-
mains were buried in Ogallah ceme-
terry, the services being conducted by
the Rev. Grant Mann, pastor of the
Methodist church. Mr.. Schnase was
born in Germany on August 16, 1862.
He has lived in Trego county for
many years. He is survived by his
wife and young son, and brother.
His brother and sister of Mrs.
Schnase, Mrs. Cooper, of Garden
City, were here for the funeral.

TT IS A DOG CONE CASE

We will call him ssTowser'' although
that may not be his name. He may
not have possessed any particular in
trinsic worth or value until the first
of the week, but judging from the
start proceedings have received and
from the momentum they have at
tanned it will be only short time
until he will be one Of the most valu-
able members of the canine family
in this part of Kansas.
A year or so ago, on account of a
change in location other incon-
veniences, Towser was given by his
then owner, Joe Laudering, to Carl
Landers, according to the contetion,
until such time it might be con-
venient for him to be reclaimed.
Events so shaped themselves that a
short time ago Laudering wanted
Towser again and went to the Land
ers home and got him. Evidently
Landers were not at home for they
knew not the whereabouts of Towser
for several days. When they did 1o-
cate him in possession of his old
master they demanded his return.
Their request was refused. L.anders
came to WaKeeney and replevened
Towser and it was necessary for
Shriff Fox to seesthat the order was
obeyed. Following this transaction
came Joe Laudering with willingness
to spend some more money for the
possession of the dog. He put up
bonds and costs for re-repleven
suit and the sheriff had to deliver
Towser back. to him. Thus things
have gotten started and Towser prom
ises to soon become the doggondest
most expensive dog in the county and
his case will be the doggondest dog
case which has ever been on the court
calendar. Landers and Laudering g
live in OgaIIah township.

USING CULVERTS FOR CASING

C. r. Pollen came up from Wichita
the first of he week and spent q day
at the test oil well north of Collyer.
He says it will be necessary for the
company to put down about sixty
five feet of large casing to keep the
sand and top earth from caving in.
This will be put in as soon possi-
BILE. At about twenty feet album
dant supply of water sand was struck
and owing to the size of the hole be-
ing made and the jar of the drill, this
sand and the soft earth underneath
is continually caving in, thus hinder
ing the progress of the drillers. The
casing will prevent this caving and al
low more progress to be made in sink
ing the well. It keeps Mr.. Pollen pref
ty busy watching the progress of the
well drillers here and of those in Ok
lahoma who are working with his
other outfits, and he can spend only
about one day at time at this place.
He makes the cross country trips by
auto.
Later We learn from Mr.. Pollen
that he secured some of those cour-
rigated iron culverts, at Quinter,
which will serve for casing in the top
part of the well This will be a great
benefit in hurrying along the drilling
and will serve until other casing is
needed

NEWS ITEMS FROM ENGLAND

w. j. Skelton of this county who
has been In England for nearly all
of the last year, sends The World
copy of the London Daily Express of
July 9th We CLEAN some news
paragraphs from it which are of gen
eraI interest.
Among the things observed first In
the London paper is the Mutt and
Jeff pictures but while the pictures
are the same the speakers are using
the English dialect instead of the
yankee.
The English judges, at least one Of
them, are loyal to the soldier boys.
sJudge Parry at Lambeth County
Court refused to grant an ejectment
order against Alexander James Pat
rick, and ex-soldier, and now tram
car driver" His landlord sought to
eject him as undesirable tenant
but the court ruled that inasmuch as
Patrick had been a soldier and his
record was good that the land
lord had no grounds on which he
mi ght be elected. The Judge also
fixed the price for rental.
The high cost of living in England
seems to be calling for higher wages
s on the part of the public servants.
In tstN News in Brief, paragraph we
get this: .'The master and matron of
Ronford Workhouse, who receive
nearly eight pounds week, with all
found and rates and taxes to pay,
have applied for an increase in sal
ary"
The moods of the editorial writer
| are expressed in two articles in diff
ferent issues of the Express in which
women and girls are the chief
| thought.
In commention on the fact that
25,O 900 boys and girls were about to
leave school and that 10000 of them
were girls and under the head of
<sThe Overflow of F1apper-Hands
that will not rock the cradle ?" the Ex-
Ipress says:
/ ''The majority, I understand, want
to be clerks. With this sort of en-
i ployment in view, many of them will
go to training colleges for three OF
Four months, and there irnbibe the
| rudiments of bookkeeping Gin sterr
! practice book-wrscdng), shorthand

ally.
"Posts have been obtained, thei1
