BOY DIES FROM FALL
Thirteen Year Old Kenneth Hicks Re
ceives Injuries From Fall That
Prove Fatal

Kenneth Hicks, l3 years old, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. J. NJ. Hicks, who until
just recently lived in the southeast
part of Prowers county, while riding
u horse from the fair grounds last
Friday was in some manner thrown
from the horse to the concrete pave
ment north of town, striking his head
and fracturing his skull in two places
The accident occurred about o'clock
in the afternoon. The boy was found
lying on the pavement, the horse stand
ing near by. No one saw the accident
or knows just what caused the boy to
fall.
The lad was taken to a physicians
office where he remained until about
nine o'clock when he was taken to the
Lamar hospital where it was thought
an operation might save him. He died
in about an hour without regaining
consciousness.
Kenneth came to Lamar last Tues
day from Two Buttes, where he had
been spending the summer, to be with
his brother, Aubrey Hicks, who was
one of the promoters of the Lamar
Frontier Days celebration and was rid
ing his brothers horse at the time of
the accident. His father and brother
were with him when death came.

Britain Profits Heavily.

Great Britain is prospering over
Americas twin strikes, John Bulls
entire Industrial situation being favor
ably affected.
England's coal mines have all re-
oIened and business is booming as u
result Of orders from the United
States FOR the early delivery Of large
quantities OF coal.
The Welsh coal mines, which had
been idle for a long time, are begin
ring to operate to full capacity. Tens
of thousands of men have secured
work, the textile and iron industries
being enlivened in sympathy with the
new activities in the coal fields, and.
for the first time in a long period, the
governments revenues are consider
ably more than its expenditures.
According to the commercial attachc
of the United States in London, Great
Britain is mining more coal than II
has minci in years.
The benefits accruing, directly and
Indirectly, to England from the coal
strike are much larger than one would
ordinarily think.-Marion Star.

INTERESTING LAW CASE
Lamar Institutions Furnish n Move
Case for the United States
Courts to Solve.

A case started in the United States
courts has brought to light a most
interesting legal problem in which
number of Lamar institutions are
interested.
The origin of the case was when
the Jett and Wood Company local
branch drew a check on their deposit
in the Valley State Bank, of Lamar,
for $4,000 and sent it to the Fourth
National Bank, at Wichita, to be de
posted to their account. This check
was cleared through the First National
Bank, at Wichita, and they sent it to
the Citizens State Bank, at Lamar,
for collection. The Citizens State
Bank collected from the Valley State
Bank and the interest of the Valley
State Bank was thus settled. The
Citizens State Bank then sent their
draft to the first National of Wichita,
who paid the claim to the Fourth Nat
ional. In the meantime, the Citizens
State Bank failed and was unable to
meet the draft which they had sent
to the First National of Wichita. The
First National then brought suit in the
United States courts to secure the
$4,000 as n preferred claim, on the re-
sources of the Citizens State Bank.
This brings up many interesting
points to be settled by the court. II
the $4,000 is made preferred claim
it will reduce, to that amount, the set
tlcment to the depositors of the Cit
izens State Bank. While, on the other
hand, if it is not made a preferred
clnim, the question will still arise as
to who will lose the $4,000. or part of
it above what the banks assets will
be able to pay
1t is a case that will be watched
with great interest by many Of our
people. Judge d. B. Kinkaid is the
attorney for the Citizens State Bank
in the defense Of the suit.
1t has not been decided as yet where
the case will be tried, but IL is thought
it will come up for trial at either
Pueblo or Denver.

bratiOn Ever Held Here

of its kind and brought more people
TO Lamar than ever before attended
show here. Thursday, Governors
day, was the real big day of the cele-
bration and standing room was at a
premium. The grand stand and the
bleachers were filled before two o'clock
and the fences on each side of the
grand stand and the infield were lined
with eager spectators to witness the
first Lamar Frontier Days and Wild
West Celebration.
Cowboys and professional riders
from all over the west gathered here
to ride the bucking horses and 5teers
and all worked hard for the purses,
displaying some excellent bronx and
steer riding. Half mile and quarter
mile dashcs and relay races were
numerous and there was not n
dull moment during the entire three
days. California Frank and his COM
pany put on fine exhibitions at each
performance, including fancy riding,
roping, the jumping horse that jumped
over an automobile, the high school
horse, Napoleon, and clown work that
was real treat and pleased all the
spectators.
The boxing bouts promoted by the
Eagles on Thursday night packed the
grand stand and the results were as
follows:
Kid GIVEN and Kid Taken fought
the first battle to a draw.
Six round bout-O'Toole knocked
out Pullen in third round.
Four round bout-Kid Mason of st.
Louis won the decision over Kid Lock-
hart Of Los Angeles.
Eight round bout-Dewey Smith Of
Eads and Kid Mack OF Pueblo fought
n draw.
The four round bout between Jess
Davis Of Lamar and Young Herria of
Fort Lyon was called off in the second
round.
There was not single accident re-
corded during the entire three days
and all pronounce II the best show
seen in Lamar for many years.

Contracts were just completed with
A. C. Heise for installing eleven hot

Putting Ii Over.

Henry Ford, the great "philanthi op-
ist,' has just started another stunt in
his bid for the presidency through be-
ing the richest clown in the worlds
history. As poor Henry only makes
800 on each $500 car he sells, and
can only make five thousand of them
day, he is very much peeved because
everybody else is profiteering.
Rather than pay n great sum, like
twenty cents, additional for few tons
of steel, he is going to close down his
works and throw eighty thousand men
in his own shops out OF employment
The much abused Andrew Carnegie or
John d. Rockefeller would not have
committed such an outrage on their
working men or their country.
Give us two or three more multi
millionaires like Henri Ford and the
United States would go to the dogs in
short order.

For Poisoning Ants.

One of the most reliable ways of
poisoning ants is to use equal parts
of tartar emetic and sugar. MoiSten
this with enough water to make into
a syrup and pour into shallow dish
es and set them in runways OF the
ants. They will eat very freely of
this and as the poison does not act
quickly, it will be carried to the bur-
rows and fed to the larvae. On this
way the old and the young die to-
gether, and a large colony is soon
disposed if. In case the water dries
out Of the dish, more may be adder,
as this mixture does not spoil.-House-
hold Pests, Extension Bulletin 1s1-A,

Keen Ont The Dodder.

II you are planning to let alfalfa
stand for seed look your field over
for dodder. Once is not enough. IL
should be done several times before
cutting. Alfalfa seed containing
dodder seed is unstable in some states
and is Disseminated against in all
markets. It is impossible by any
known method to free alfalfa seed of
the large seeded dodder. The only
practical procedure is to see that the
field is free from this pest.-State

Full Protection For Beet Growers

uh ibttC'loH IDT Dttt bfONtfb
The Senate vote on the sugar sched-
ule was 4 distinct triumph for Reed
Smoot and the beet sugar industry.
If the Senate amendment prevails full
duty sugars will henceforth enter the
country only upon payment of 2.3
cents per pound duty, compared with
2 cents under the emergency tariff
and l.25 cents under the Underwood
act. Cuban raws will have to pay I.84
cents, against lie cents and 1 cent
respectively under the emergency and
Underwood tariffs.
Boston and New York papers refer
to the western beet sugar industry
rs dollhouse industry" The fact
remains, however, that it distributes
many million dollars annually among
western farmers and is the safety
valve that prevents this country from
being completely at the mercy of the
foreign grower and speculator.

Benefits to Colorado industries will
be felt at once rs 4 result of the pasage
of the permanent tariff bill, according
10 statements issued by Senator law
renee C. Phipps and Senator Samuel
ID. Nicholson following favorable act
ion on the measure by the Senate.
Senator Phipps characterized the
bill as 'The first tariff measure which
affords real measure of protection to
the mining and agricultural interests
of the West"
Reasonable duties" he said, "are to
be levied on farming products coming
into competition with those of Colorado
in the Eastern markets. The rates
placed upon meats will not add any
thing TO the price which the people
will have to pay the butcher, but will
afford cattle growers relief from the
disasterous competition of the Argen-
tine and other foreign countries"
A boom in mining as result of the
bill was predicted by Senator Nichol.
son.
within few months after the Re
publican tariff act becomes effective"
he said, the mining industry will be-
gin to get on its feet and then, as
general business conditions of the
country improve, there should be n
great revival in the mining industry
and greatly increased employment for
the miners"
