BASK ETBALL

The Sedgwick County High School
boys and girls basketball team will
play the Holyoke boys and girls this
Friday evening, January 18th in the
S. c. H. S. gymnasium. This game is
the first conference game for both of
these teams. Neither Julesburg nor
Holyoke has been defeated so far this
season.
The Holyoke team has played nine
games to date, while the Julesburg
team has only played three. The three
teams that Julesburg has defeated are
Chappell, Kimball and Oshkosh. The
Holyoke team has not met team in
the nine games they have played as
strong as any of these three Nebras-
ka fives. It seems, according TO the
dope, that both teams are of winning
caliber and that very close game
will result. The Holyoke team has al
ready set up a reputation in Phillips
county as having one of the best in
this section of the state.
Kilbourn, the new Holyoke center,
is the player that Holyoke seems to
think is the best center in the state
of Colorado. It will be treat to see
this man in action. Julesburg will go
into this game to win. Holyoke has
fast winning team and to lose to
them is no disgrace for Julesburg.
The Julesburg team is having a
series of strenuous workouts each
evening in preparation for this game.
It is the best and hardest game on
the Julesburg schedule, so come out
on Friday evening and boost for the
boys-they will win.
The girls team will play the Holy
oke girls as q curtain raiser. The
Holyoke girls have won several games
including Wray. Boost the girls al
so. Admission to both games 25 and
IS cents.
The following write-up was in re-
cent issue of the Denver Post in re-
gard to the Holyoke team:
although the Northeastern Colo
rado basketball conference does not
open until Jan. 11th, the Holyoke
high school Dragons have already
hung up nine victories in present sea-
son competition. The Holyoke quintet
began to play early in December and
has won over the leading Nebraska
teams. as well as from Fort Lupton
and Wray in this state. The Dragons
have won all the games by top-heavy
scores.
"Holyoke has scored 25s points,
while the combined total of the op-
ponents has been "a. Kilbourn is
high point man on the Dragon quin-
tet, with 76 points, designating him as
an expert at locating the hoop. "A
game last week in which Grant, Nebr.
was smothered 48 to 2 is an indica-
tion of the ability of the Holyoke ag-
gregation on the defense as well as
offense.
"Fort Lupton held Holyoke to its
closest score last Saturday, although
the Lupton five was defeated 20 to 10.
Wray has been defeated in two games,
once 35 to IA. while the Dragons won
from them New Years day. SO to 10

allowed Holyoke to choose the place

have it at Holyoke on January 18th.

MOTHER FOUND
WITH DEAD
SON DIES
Mrs. SaIIie Smith, of Hagers-
town, Believed to Have i.
Taken Poison

HAGERSTOWN, Nd, Aug. 29.-
Mrs. Sallie Smith, twenty.six, who
was found unconscious beside the
body of her dead son, Harry B.
Smith, eighteen months, on Wednes-
day, died yesterday in the hospital
here, without having regained con-
seriousness.
Police are baffled by bruises found
on the mothers neck and arms, but
in spite of these they still believe
that the woman administered poison
to her child and herself. This be.
lief was strengthened today when a
note was found which the dead
woman left for her husband, In
which she expressed the melanchoiy
which had seized her and expressed
a desire to take the child with her."
Mrs. Smith was found Wednesday
by her husband, when he returned
home. He went to a nearby store
to call a doctor, and when he re.
turned his wife had climbed to the
attic and was attempting to hang
herself with a sheet. Police believe
she may have received the bruises
then.
Four-year.old Hilda Smith, an.
other child, told police yesterday
that She had seen her mother feed
something out Of bottle to the
baby and then take some herself.
Neighbors say the Smiths have
always been a happy family and
have never quarreiIed. Mrs. Smith
was apparently very happy. The
mother died without leaving any
statement as to the incidanta laad.
ing up TO the tragedy.

One OF the reasons that / am
lighting this organization is that /
believe in the separation of the
church and state and to that end
viii devote my efforts during the
campaign.
1t is for that reason mainly that
I intend to make several addresses
in the larger Eastern cities Of the
country. The issue cannot be con-
fined to localities, for its presence
Is felt everywhere.
Accuses G. O. r.
The X. X. K. is controlled and
In the hands Of the Republican
party. The organizer, William Jo-
seph Simmons, did not even dream
that this organization would ever
become political party-but it has.
AS, an example of its workings,
the Democratic national convention,
recently held in New York city,
was controlled by the khan. Grand
Dragons from various States were
In the anterooms Of the convention,
in conference with the imperial
wizard of Atlanta, doing their ut
most to disrupt and disorganize the
Democratic party Of the Southland.
Wherever politicians gather, no
matter in what section Of the coun-
try, the same situation prevails.
The organization does not belong
there and it shall be my one big
purpose in the coming fight to help
eradicate this influence.
The khan is riding to a fall.
Texas has spoken and repudiated
them; the Kansas Democrats have
purged their organization Of the
COLLINS, the Cyclops, the Kligraphs,
the Kludds and what-nots and now
the fight is on to the last ditch to
clean the entire country. That is
what I intend to do when elected
