Tuesday afternoon as Ford tour

who with his wife and two and one
half year old son was travelling from
Wagner, Oklahoma, to Kansas

the south part of town it collided

driven by son of Roy Thomas.
The Berg car was badly damaged and
the little boy. who was sitting on
his mothers lap, was thrown out,
falling in front of the Thomas car,
one OF the wheels of which passed
over it, breaking its leg just above
the ankle and otherwise badly bruis-
ing it. Mrs. Berg received a
wrcnched shoulder and bruises. The
injured were brought to town and
DR.. Newton dressed their hurts. Mrs

Robbers at Amoret.

Sometime Monday night robbers,
using tools stolen from blacksmith
shop. made all attempt to rob the
Amoret postoffice, but met with
very little success. According to the
report made by Miss Elsie O. Will
liams, postmistress, there was but
$I.oo in the safe, which was blown
open by nitro-glycerin and the rob-
bers very considerably left two PEN
nies of that. An automobile belong
ing to Ed Cullison. of the Hurley
Lumber company, was taken the
same night and presumably by the
same party or parties that robbed the
postoffice.
There seems to be no clew to the
robbers. Two cars were seen leaving
town going north about three o'clock
in the morning and it is probable that
they contained the thieves making
their getaway to Kansas City.

Farm Relief Bill Passed.

Washington, Aug. 4.-The agri.
cultural credits bill, embodying the
administration plan for loans by the
war finance corporation to aid ex-
ports of farm products, was passed
today by the senate.
There was no record vote on pas
sage of the bill, which now goes to
the house. The measure authorizes
agricultural loans from the 500 mil
lion dollars cash capital of the war
finance corporation, which also is
authorized to issue billion dollars OF
bonds in obtaining additional loan
funds. :,
The bill was put through as sub
stitute for the Norris agricultural
credits plan. AS amended in the
senate, it prohibits loans to foreign
governments.
Another amendment provides for
loans to producers upon notes and
other instruments of Indebtedness,
when secured by chattel mortgages
or other papers conveying market
able title to staple agricultural pro-
ducts including live stock.

Making the Jail More Secure.

For the past several days work
men have been engaged in lining the
cell room on the second floor Of the
Bates county Jail with heavy steel
sheets. The walls and ceiling Of the
room are being covered with the
sheets. which are being riveted to-
gether, forming a steel she'll which
will be almost impossible to break
through.
In times past it has been an easy
matter for prisoner not confined
in the cells to tear out few bricks
and make his escape. Dale Jones,
afterwards the notorious outlaw and
gun man, at one time made his es-
cape in that way and the next day the
lifeless body of man who escaped
with him was found at the Miami
river, so,.th of town. 1t has always
been supposed that Jones killed the
other man to keep him from telling
just how the escape was made
Bunk" McGinnis, who was awaiting
execution for the murder of man
whom he was trying to rob, made his
escape i'll that way one Sunday after
noon many years ago, but was recap
tured the same afternoon ARID was
hanged few days later.

home team defeated the Clinton team
Sunday afternoon in an eleven inning
game BY score Of to Z.
While the game was thriller from
start OF finish it was not quite 80
rood game as the score would in
ddicate, In the early innings Butler
rot some bad breaks which kept them
from making enough runs TO- win the
game. However, they made game,
uphill fight and finally tied the
score and finally won out IN the
eleventh inning.
Buffers first run came in the
fourth inning when CampbelFs
erounder got away from the Clinton
second baseman, later scoring on
Shroyer's hit. In the fifth Howard
reached first when the shortstop
fumbled his grounder and went 70

finally recovered the ball and threw
It over the first baseman's head. nc

Dsbornes hit Campbell made the
circuit of the bases when the Clinton
center fielder let his long fly bounce
out OF his hands and 60 over the
fence. Two more were made in the
eighth on hits by Hulse and Shroyer
and couple of errors. Clinton made
two in the ninth tieing the score.
Neither side was able to get a man
around in the tenth and Clinton
failed to score in their half OF the
eleventh, but in that inning Butler
would not be denied and made the
deciding run. Williams, first man
I'D was out third to first. Ellis got
a hit and promptly stole second.
Osborne was called out on strikes.
Campbell sent another long fly TO
center which went into the hedge and
Ellis scored with the winning run.

their defeat the Sunday before by the
Butler boys at Clinton came deter
mined to win. They were accom-
panied by large number of enthusi-
astic rooters all pulling hard for
them. They had loaded their team
with the best baseball talent from
Kansas City and expected easy sail

completed successful season with
a club in the Northwestern league.
The feature of the game was the play
ing of the Butler infield and Camp

Kershner, Williams, Osborne and
Shroyer is the best the team ever had.
Every one of them are i'll the game
