OIL PROMOTER
KNOWN HERE IS
in TOLLS OF LAW

A great many of the readers of the
Grit-Advocate will remember ]. w.
Smiley, who represented himself to be
Geologist, and made negotiations
with the Julesburg Oil Il Royalties
Co. year or so ago, whereby he was
to interest outside capital in the drill
ing of we'll for oil in this section.
Mr.. Smiley. who was here on num-
Der of occasions and gained the con-
fidence of a number of our citizens,
broke off relations with the local COM
pany very SUDDENLY, and the next
heard from him he was at Garden
City, Kansas, where he was connected
in promoting an oil well.
1t would now appear that Mr.. Smil-
ey has run to the end of his string,
Judging from the following articles
which appeared in the Monday, Sept.
11th issue of the Wichita (Kansas)
Beacon, which is self explanatory:
~. W. Smiley, smooth check forg-
er, who is wanted in several Kansas
counties has been arrested in Emo,
Canada, and sheriff Lee Richardson Of
Finney county is on his way to bring
him back to Garden City. He was
employed about year ago at a Gar
den City oil we'll as contracting driller,
and after leaving, he cashed several
checks on the Peoples State Bank
at that place, which is said to be hold
ing the sack. The last check for
about $500 was only few days ago
and revealed his address. He is re-
ported to be fighting extradition, but
Senator Curtis is procuring the pap
ers through the department Of state"

THUNDERSTORM, CUNNINGHAM AND DYE
ARE WINNERS AT PRIMARY ELECTION
BABY CONTEST
TO BE HELD AT
A COUNTY FAIR

Registration is now taking place at
all drug stores in Sedgwick County
for the second annual Baby Contest to
be held during the Sedgwick County
Fair. September 20, 81 and 22.
Last year this contest conducted by
the Red Cross was decided success,
80 much so that it will be made a per-
manent annual event in connection
with the fair.
Arrangements have been made to
register all babies between the ages of
six months and three years at any
drug store in Julesburg, Sedgwick or
Ovid, where parents may receive num-
bers emitting them to have their
children examined by physicians and
nurses on one of days of the fair, un-
der the direction of the American Red
Cross.
Sedgwick County made very en-
viable reputation last year with the
extremely high average produced in
the scores of the 125 babies examined.
1t is probable that many more will be
registered and examined this year.

Fight Managers Protest.
This overseas program for Buff has,
very naturally, aroused storm Of pro-
test from the managers Of fighters Of
his division in this country. They are
raising the claim that Johnny is
phOny champion and that he should
fight over again the men he has beaten
in his long, hard drill to the peaks Of
two divisions.
If Johnny smirks at these protests
and gives the criticism the diplomatic
recognition it deserves, he will be do
ing his fistic bit He has as much right
today to go abroad and earn what
shekels he can at the present rate Of
exchange as any Of the American fight
ers had who preceded him, and they

TAUGHT VIRTUE AND WISDOM
Confucius One of the Really Great
Philosophers the Human Race
Has Developed.

COnfucius is the Latin form of the
name Of Kung Futze (Kung, the mas
ter or philosOpher), a great Chinese
philosopher, who founded form of
religion which Is based on the worship
and practice of morality as shown in
the lives and teachings of wise men
who have gUne before. He was born
551 B. c., in the state Of Lu, part of
the province of Shantung.
COnfucius' chief aim being the ref
ormatiOn Of the state, he wandered
from court to court, seeking to teach
princes his maXims of virtue and wis
dom; while around him gathered a
band Of devoted followers. He died
47S B. @. The books he composed,
the books he edited, the books sup
posed to have been written by his
grandson, and the books compiled by
his followers, with the works of Men
cius (born 81 B. O., form the Chi
nese classics, on which are based edu-
cation and competitive examinations,
and by which promotion in public life
has been regulated for 13 centuries.

BILLY HOY MADE BIG RECORD
Famous Mute Ball Player Had Forty
Five Assists In outfield While
With Chicago Americans.

Billy Hoy, the famous mute ball
player from 1880 until 1902, seemingly
holds the record for the greatest num-
Der of assists from the outfield for
one season. In 1900, while with the
Chicago Americans, Hoy had 45 as
sists in 1877 games he played. Mike
Mitchell, who was with the Cincinnati
Reds in 1907, and Harry Niles of the
st. Louis Browns of 1906, each had 80
assists and since those seasons have
been accepted as the best records in
this respect.
If the baseball guides are correct
for 1900, then Billy Hoy holds the rec
ord for assists from the outfield in the
major leagues. Hartman, playing
right field for the st. Joseph club Of
the Western league in 1902, had 80
assists from his position in 139 games.

ability to develop into star. Also
he has the love of the game and the

but he can play anywhere in the In

New York Americans and will go
South with them in the spring.

Atlantic it looks soft-very soft, in
