Willmar Independents Unable to
Keep up Lead. Held at End of
-. .;y~ Third Quarter

The Willmar Independent basket
ball team went down to defeat at the
hands: Of. the Clara City basketeers on
Thursday |evening. The final score
was, 80. to 25.;; .r -, ..-~.
Clara City took a lead Of eight
points at the opening of the game
before :Willmar got started. Both
teams: played hard, clean basket ball
and though the, ball was in. Clara
City's territory fully three fourths of
the time, Willn1ar was unable to
make her many shots fall thru the
loop. At the end of the first half
Willmar was leading with IA to IL
score.
In the second half Willmar in
creased her lead. The end of the
third quarter ended 20 to Is. In the
last quarter they lacked the old pep
and fell rapidly behind the home
team.
Barren, the Clara City forward,
starred for the home team. The
Willmar team had no outstanding
star tho Wallin and Grace played
corking good games at the guard po-
sitions. while Sandin, Hoimberg and
Hahn. made the opposing guards
move fast. Little needs to be said
about Norling as he is known as one
Of the. best centers in Central Min
nesota. Besides playing wonder
full floor game he made three pretty
field goals. Wallin slipped in three
baskets, Sandin one and one foul and
Hahn connected five times and also
put in a free throw.

The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1922-04-24

While he slept peacefully under six
feet of earth in a local cemetery,
Shawnee county authorities today be-
gan preparations for a search for Os-
car c. Bryant. negro, who formerly
lived at S26t North Madison street.
And the cause of it all was a jok-
ing remark made by Elisha Scott, ne
gro attorney, to the effect that his
former client was alive.
Bryant was charged with sault
with intent to kill in connection with
the shooting of Mrs. Jane Simns Will
Iiams during a shooting fray starting
over a crap game at the home of Joe
Jennings. $40 North Taylor street,
last December. While Cumming his
way to Lawrence on a freight train
recently, Bryant slipped and fell I'M
der the wheels, losing his hand. He
lay on the ground all night without
medical attention and eventually died
from loss of blood.
This morning Intelligence that
Bryant was really alive reached the
ears of County Attorney Veale. and
Sheriff Robert Miller The felony
charge against the negro had been
dismissed on account of his death and
the authorities began to suspect that
perhaps Bryant ads"played 'possunl'
for the purpose of getting the charge
dismissed. The officers traiIed the
statement to Scott, who promptly ex-
planned that he had been joking when
he said Bryant was alive and did not
suppose that anyone would take it

Substitute Was Used by Methodists

The true cornerstone OF the First
Methodist church is to be laid Tues
day. Because of the progress made
on the building during the holding of
the state annual conference here a
few weeks ago. the ''cornersfones laid
at that time was a substitute.
1t was the desire of the church to
commemorate, at that special occa-
sion. the laying of the cornerstone
and a substitute was placed in posi-
ton
The true cornerstone which will be
laid Tuesday is of gray granite and
came from Minnesota. 1t will bear
the inscription, and0 will contain the
records, which the substitute corner
stone was supposed to have contained.
No cornerstone, for the old church
building was ever laid, so far as the
workmen on the reconstruction job
have been able to determine. 1t has
never been found.

tors, after having been closed since
January 10.
Many of the former employees re-
moved their tool kits from the shops
yesterday, altho officials of the Hecker
company declared these men had not
signed applications for work.
Shopmen declared that none OF the
former employees, who filed applica-
tions. will resume work tomorrow.
Hecker officials assert 356 applica-
tions from ex-employes are on file and
still effective. The shopcraft officials
appear to be firm in their refusal to
permit men to go to work under the
contra ctors' piece-work system. 1t is
not known whether the Hecker COM
pany will take steps to prevent picket
ing, which they assert is subject to an
injunction.

GOOD GROWING CONDITIONS
Farmers Given Opportunity to Pre-
pare Soil for Planting.

Excellent growing conditions pre-
vailed In most of the Kansas counties
last week, according to the weekly
crop bulletin today by J. c. Mohler,
secretary of the state board of agri-
culture. Cessation of rains in the
eastern counties gave farmers an op-
portunity to prepare their soil for corn
planting.
Soil is in excellent condition thru
northeastern counties but is reported
badly packed thru southeastern and
central sections. Many farmers are
complaining of crust which has form
ed and is causing injury to growing
wheat. In southeastern counties yell
low spots caused by wet weather were
appearing in wheat fields. Sunshine
and warm weather may remedy the
condition.
In the Kaw valley and northern
counties potato planting is being hur-
ried.
Freezing weather early last week
caused slight damage. In the Flint
Hill district pastures are in good con-
ditjon. Butler. county pastures are
40 per cent filled. and thousands of
cattle are being moved to grazing
lands in Greenwood, Chase and Lyon
counties.
