The Communist movement in Italy

Italian revolution. Funds for BOlShcvist
propaganda have been deposited in
SWISS banks, and from there money has
been smugglcd into Italy by secret
agents.
The Moscow Government is said to be
maintaining an elaborate forgery plant,
completely equipped to turn out false
passports, documents and other impOr-
tant papers. Each week couriers ar
rive from Moscow to spread BUlShcviSt
throughout Germany, Swift
zerland, Italy and France. by numer-
Gus lodges they eludc frontier police of
the various nations.

Count Karolyi. in Florence, the police
found confirmation of Russian Bolshe
visit Vaccinations. Count KarOlyi had,
at the time of his arrest papers from

Whatever concessions have been

Allies upon the Turks meeting them
half way with respect to Smyrna and
Thrace.
Conferences were held throughout the
day at the House Of Commons. it is
understood that the Greek delegation
substantially accepted the new prOpo-
al, subject to certain notifications.

cHAs A. HANSON LOSES LIFE

Cbas- A. Hanson. of Kansas City,
Mo-, was shot and killed last Satur-
day about noon by Gus Westfan, an
employe at Our Way Cafe, owned and
operated by Chas. Bradley.
According to the testimony at the
coronor's inquest Hanson went to the
cafe for his dinner and got 1T. He
asked for meal tickets for himself and
four men who were in his employ
Mr. Bradley refused to sell them be-
cause of previous trouble and nlsun-
derstanding with Hanson Hanson re-
sented this and turned the conversa-
ton to a punch board then on dis
play and told Bradley that he was
under arrest for operating it. Bradley
asked Hanson to show his authority
whereupon Hanson drew a revolver
and said: fFThis is my authority
Other threats were made and more or
less violence followed. Westfan came
to the aid of Bradley and the gun
play commenced which resulted in
Hanson's death.
The body of the dead man was taken
in charge by Coroner r. r. UHord
and removed to Straw's funeral home
and an inquest was held in the after
noon at which a large number of wit
nesses were examined. The body
showed that two bullets had pene-
trated it, one of which was sufficient
to produce death it having entered
from the back and passed forward
through the heart. The jury rendered
a verdict to the effect that ftChas.
Hanson came to his death by gun
shot wounds inflicted, not felonious1y,
by Gus Westfall."
Chas. Hanson was stout built man
about thirty to thirty-hve years old.
He had lost a part of one leg. He
came here about six months ago and
worked as a brick layer but later
commenced work for himself as a
contractor and builder. Very little
was known about him and very little
has been found out since his death.
A divorced wife was located in Kansas
City but says nothing about him. His
conversation has lead to the belief
that he has a mother and two sisters
living but their whereabouts is un-
known The body was kept until
Wednesday morning when it was
buried in WaKeeney Cemetery, the
funeral service being conducted from
S. J. Straw's funeral home.

WILL DRILL ANOTHER OIL
WELL

The report of the finding of oil at
Walsh well No. in this county is all
ready attracting considerable atten-
ton throughout the state. Represen-
tatives for several other oil concerns
have visited this county during the
last week and considerable interest
has been manifested by some of them.
We are reliable informed that one OF
the companies represented is now
making arrangements for the privi-
lege of putting down another well on
the leases held by Mr.. McKnab and
his associates. 1t is likely that the
arrangements will be completed and
the second drilling outfit will be In
working order in a few weeks.
The condition at the present well
is practically the same as it was last
week with the exception that it has
been demonstrated that the ten-inch
casing cannot be pulled with the pre-
sent equipment. Arrangements are
being made by the managers for a hy-
draulic equipment which will be used
If the casing cannot then be removed
eight-inch casing will be used for the
entire depth of the well. The supply
of oil in the well remains practically
the same all the time. When a bail
er full is drawn out it readily fills up
again lnO1caC1nG a SCrOnR pressure
from the supply source. Those most
directly interested in the well are very
much elated over the prospects and as
soon as some more drilling outfits
commence work in the field there win
be some more of our citizens who will
contract the fever of excitement
VIM. McKnab, head man of the
Trego county oil business left Tues
day morning for his home at Win
field, Kansas, on business in connec-
ton with the oil well north of Collyer.
Three pieces of mineral formation
which represents the early ages in
the formation of this country, were
picked up the last of the week by s.
Sterns who is Investigating this coun-
ty. They are the shape of many Of
the ordinary pebbles in the sand banks
of this county but are of different
color having more the appearance OF
iron. Closer Investigation shows that
they, may be petried eggs or nuts of
some prehistoric fish or tree Mr.
Sterns broke open one of these peb-
bles and found it hollow with a very
peculiar formation inside. The other
two contain something on the inside
which is loose and which will rattle
when the pebble is shaken So far no
one has been found who is able to
give any idea of their origin

s. A. SHRINER MAKES
STATEMENT

I wish to state to the public
my position in the shooting of
Charles Hanson was elected
ed three years ago to the Office of
constable for two years, much to the
sorrow of some, and when my term
expired a petty official went to
Al Hendricks last fall and asked
him if he would accept the office if
elected and he told him etno." A few
of his friends elected him and he
would not qualify and thereby I still
hold Office and my oath is to do what
the laws of the state of Kansas calls
for. am not compelled to wear any
medals, uniforms or artillery, Meth
er am I to run to the county attor-
ney's Office day or night for war
rant to make an arrest I was serv-
ing a summons last Tuesday for a
just cause on Charles Hanson to be
used as witness on a certain case
and made the remark that I didn't
have the time to spare for such
that required my time and Mr..
Hanson came into my place of
business the next day and said elbow
would you like Ito appoint me deputy,
as have been threatened and will
not carry concealed weapons and
want it for protection" which I hast
lily did and I have been asked why
appointed a man whom so many were
afraid Of I will frankly tell the
public that there is a certain
clique OF people who take the
law in their own hands. Some of our
sa1aried officers are afraid they will
hurt some ones feelings and that is
the point I want to bring out. They
say he "Hanson" had no friends and
I thought he would be the one to ap-
point for an officer. That he would
not have any friends to favor and this
is what brought on his death because
he was acting officer in putting
the punch boards out of business and
was shot by disinterested person.
The whole sum and substance is
Charles Hanson knew too much of
the things going in our little city.
have been questioned as to whether
he was an officer and want the pub
lie to know that he was sworn in and
registered according to law, unlike
some of the so called officers who are
carrying artillery. There seems to
be eight ten deputy sheriffs
around town and with all these
officers there has been one gun play,
one knockout and one man slain
during the last thirty days in the
city of WaKeeney.
I think it is about time for the bet
ter people to wake up to insure do
mestic tranquility, provide for the
common defense and promote the
general welfare of our community.

A GOOD MUSICAL PROGRAM

WaKeeney has a number of ladies
who possess more than usual musical
ability and who have formed them
selves into a club for the purpose of
both Improvement and pleasure. They
also work for the pleasure of others
and last Friday evening gave a mus
ical at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. w.
Y. Herrick to which they invited a
number of their friends. The day
had been extremely hot but at even
ing a cool refreshing breeze had
sprung up which, with the aid of the
electric fans united with the sweet
harmony and melody of the strains
of music made the evening delight
full one. The program consisted of
choruses, duets, solos and violin and
piano which appealed to the thoughts
and emotions of the audience and
We're well suited to the occasion. The
closing number was delicious ice
cream and cake served by the mem
bers of the club. Such evenings ap-
peal to the better dispositions and
the privilege of attending more of
them would be enjoyed.

>DICTAGRAMS

Any bornshort can ask questions,
and most of the inquiries we hear be-
gin why
Why do people say of a friend that
he is clip when they know that the
poor fellow is really sick? That lit
tie word of only three letters is sadly
overworked.
Affectation Yes, it reminds me of
the woman who used the expression
ttfried chicking'' in describing the
splendor of a banquet she had recently
attended.
Why do people say different than"
and different to- or ttdiffer with"
when they really mean "from ?"
And why do some people say
"Gawd ?" More affectation. It is
no offense to call the Almighty by
his right name and if one is sick. it is
no disgrace to say SO.
And why do people continue to pub
Hsh "Cards of Thanks ?" It is a GUS
tom more honored in the breach than
in the observance.
Why do societies continue to publish
resolutions of respect and coincidence? :?
Well, most of them don't. Most of
them quit years ago and the custom
is becoming obsolete.
Why should the peace and security
of law abiding community be dis
turbed by a riotous mob called a
"charivari" party? It is relic of a
barbarous age, when savage men stole
wives from neighboring tribes and
beat off their defenders with clubs
and stones.
And why shouldn't what's the
usei
