PRoPocATEs NEW
VARIETY CANTALOUPES

E. C. Walden was a caller at this
office Thursday morning and brought
with him an excellent specimen Of
his new propagation of cantaloupe,
which he has named King of Honey
dews.
Several years ago Mr.. Walden
crossed the Honeydew and Field
Daisy with very satisfactory results.
He secured the size, shape and sweet
ness of the Honeydew and the ap-
pearance of the Field Daisy. Each
year he has saved the seed from the
best specimens and now has the var
iety established sufficiently to put
seed on the market.
The new variety is very pleasing
in appearance and possesses an ex-
cellent flavor, and is in much de-
mand by those who have tried them.
Mr.. Walden is supplying the mer-
chants of Liberal with great guam
titles of cantaloupes because of the
fact that he always has the good ones.

STRIKE-BREAKERS ASSUME
BELIGERANT ATTITUDE
First Trouble of Rail Strike Tuesday
Night When Union Men Felt
Unsafe on Duty

Owing to fear of trouble with the
strike-b breakers employed in the local
yards, the second trick men quit work
at lunch time and the third trick men
did not go to work until daylight
Tuesday night and Wednesday morn
ing.
It is said that an electrician ac-
cused Lawrence Weidensaul of throw
ing missiles at him while on the street
earlier in the evening. Weidensaul
had been on duty and was not up
town during the evening However
the report is that a number of strik-
breakers ganged up and threatened
to clean up on him when dispersed by
guards. They told him they were
looking for a switchman who had
tried to run over them. Some Of the
men in the crowd were on duty, others
had gone off duty. The best infoma-
ton we have been able to get is that
around dozen of the strike-breakers
ganged up on the platform and made
threateing remarks, so that the sec
ond and third trick men deemed it
unwise to work during the night.
An engineer, walking in direction
Of the yards heard boisterous lang
uage and retraced his steps 1t is
said he was told by guard that the
strike-breakers were at lunch, but the
absenc of lights made his suspicious
and he refused to go to work.
Following the trouble, it is said
the strike-breakers got into difficulty
between themselves and this ended in
sveral quitting the job.
There has been rumors of beliger-
ant attitude on the part of the strike
breakers for several days previous.
It is said that they have tried to pick
trouble with the union men still on the
job, but have been ignored by them.
The men are holding themselves aloof

REV. BARRIER GOES TO
EMPORIA TO RESIDE
Excellent Family Leaves Liberal to
Regret of Their Many
Friends

Rev. Thos. F. Barries, D. D., for
several years pastor of the Presby-
terian church at this place, accompan-
led by his splendid family, left the
first of the week for Emporia where
he went for the advantages afforded
by the college of Emporia, which will
claim his son and daughter as scholars
this fall.
During his stay here, Rev. Barrier
has made wide circle of friends who
keenly regret to see him leave leave.
He is an unassuming gentleman, but
Of the disposition and qualities Of the
commend him to the best people Of the
community and win their love and
esteemn.
And not only was Rev. Barrier
popular here, but Mrs. Barrier and
the young folks held a high place in
the minds Of the people.
The only son, Paul, was for sever
al months a valued employee Of the
Democrat and we certainly regretted
his departure. He was the working
est" fellow we ever had in the shop,
and the way he absorbed knowledge
Of the art preservative was wonder.
Willing, faithful, ambitious, he had
just about every quality which could
be demanded by the most exacting
employer, and when he is through
his school work, if he has leaning
toward newspaper work, it would be a
pleasure and a privilege to have him
finish his work in this Office.
The Democrat wishes every men,
ber of the family the fullest degree
Of happiness and success and will al
ways remember them with pleasure.

LIBERAL MEN TAKEN UP
WITH GARDEN CITY POOL
Finest Swimming Pool in Southwest
Causes Agitation for One
at Liberal

At the invitation of Judge G. E.
Vance, the delegation of Liberal men
who were at Garden City Monday Wis
tied the new Municipal swimming
pool, and as result of this visit, a
number of them are raring to go in
the direction of pool for Liberal.
It is said that the pool at Garden
City cost in the neighborhood of $40,
10000. A part of this was in dona-
tions of material and labor on the
part of the citizens and the balance
was spent by the city.
The pool there is 450 by 24O feet,
raging in depth from a few inches to
six or eight feet. The water when
taken from the pool is used to irrigate
the trees, flowers and shrubbery and
in the course of the next few years,
Garden City will have a park that will
make some Of the eastern pleasure
resorts look like e mud fence.
Hundreds of people visit the splen-
did pool daily and even the business
men are becoming devotees Of SWIM
ming. Some of the Liberal men dom
ned suits and took a plunge.
We understand that the matter of
q pool at liberal Is up to the park
board, and the Democrat would like
to see this body bow its neck and
start the ball rolling. We feel that
the citizens of the town will be glad
to get back Of the board in putting
this across.
A lot Of the work could me donated
and it is more than likely that te ma
terial could be purchased at cost, the
same as it was at Garden City.
By starting now the pool could be
completed to the point where it would
furnish skating this winter and 1t
would be ready for use when the
warm days come next summer.
We would like to see forty or fifty
business men including the park
board, take their families and their
dinners and have a picnic and enjoy
the swimming pool. II this could be
accomplished, there is no doubt but
what pool could be built here.
This would prove great drawing
card for the city, and we would like
to see some action at an early date.

LEGION AND CHRISTIANS WIN
Best Game of Week Between Christ.
ian Church and Fire Depart
ment with score of 2 to 5

Interest in the city league bali
games has been waning since the
hottest days of the summer have set
in but the base ball fans missed one
of the best games of the summer
Friday night when the Christian
Church team surprised the Fire De-
partment by taking the long end Of
to 2 score. It was an interest
ing game, very few errors and some
good hitting and fielding.
One would Judge from the stand
ing Of the teams that the Christian
Church team had either been prac-
ticing up or spiking their team with
new material. They have been in
the cellar all year and the Fire De-
partment has been holding second
place all sason.
The game Monday night between
the Railroaders and the Legion was
another brand of base ball, altogeth-
er. The game was slow all the way
through, was made uninteesting By
errors and poor fielding generally
and the fact that the Railroaders had
to run in several outside players to
get full team, did not add to the
class Of the game. The Legion won
the game by score Of 9 to 3.
It is hoped that the Smith Athlet-
ic field will soon be put in shape for
the remainder of the games Of tho
schedule. Work is progressing nice
ly up there and the grounds will be
ready in a short time.
There will be two good games in
the next week, the one Friday night
between the Methodists and the Leg
ion and the one next Monday night
between the Lions and Fire Depart
ment. Both of the last named teams
are struggling for the seond place
position, and this will likely be one
of the best games of the summer.
Plan to see these games this week.

JUDGE GRANTS MANDAMUS
AGAINST CITY COUNCIL
Court Orders Bond Election Should
Have Been Called as
Petitioned For

Judge u. n. vance IN chambers dI
Garden City Monday afternoon is
sued writ Of peremptory manda-
mus against the city council in the
matter Of the calling of an election
to vote $4,000 in bonds to aid the
Kansas & Oklahoma railroad.
At a meeting held Wednesday ev-
ening Of last week a petition con-
tanning the names Of two-fifths Of
the taxpayers of the city was pre-
sented to the council and after a
session of argument for and against
the proposition the council voted
three to two to refuse to accept the
petition and call an election.
An application was therefore made
to Judge Bance for a writ Of man
damus to compel the council to act
favorably upon the petition and or
der the election. The hearing was
set for Monday afternoon and the
petitioners were represented by At
torney G. W. Sawyer, and the city
by City Attorney H. A. Gaskill. Ac-
companying Mr.. Sawyer for the Pc
titioners were J. F. Fuest, G. M.
Waters, W. B. King and j. B. Miller.
Mayor W. v. Griffith and Councilmen
Newby, Vickers and Wright, and
City Clerk L. L. Holland appeared
In the interests Of the city. H. R.
Knots accompanied the party but
not in an official capacity.
The city presented lengthy de-
fense, containing a number of al
legations; among them that the bonds
were asked to build railroad out Of
the state; that the names on the pc
tition were secured by misrepresen-
tation and sundry others.
After hearing the pleas Of the at
torneys for both sides Judge Vance
stated that the only question was
. the legality Of the petition, and in
timated that he would grant an or
der of alternative mandamus and
have another hearing at which time
he could compare the; names on the
petitions with the tax rolls.
At this juncture Attorney Gaskill
asked the court If the fact that the
money derived from the sale Of the
bonds would be spent on a railroad
outside of the state would not be
a cause for refusal to grant man.
damus. The court held that mas
much as the citizens had petitioned
for an election the only thing the
council could properly consider was
the validity Of the petition asking
for the election; that the people had
their chance to protect their inter-
ests later.
Upon this statement Mr.. Gaskill
announced that they would waive
the legality of the petition and the
order was made.
And thus ended the first legal bat
tie on behalf of the Kansas & Okla
homa railroad under the new prop
osition.
The council could have delayed
matters at least one more week, but
Mayor Griffith told Democrat re-
porter that they had no desire to
delay the game; that they consider
ed It was their duty to refuse the
petition and now that the court had
made it plain that they had miscon-
structed the law, they were ready to
call meeting and grant the petition.
