When the body of Bartholome Tiar-ano, of Parkview killed by a prema ture blast in the Coleraine mine, was being gathered up. by fellow workers, in bills were found tied in a wad around his left where he evidently kept his savings.

The money was turned oyer to relatives. Of course, you wouldn't get so angry talking politics if the other fellow had any sense or reason. (First published in The Coffeyville Daily Journal, November 20, 1912.) NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING. Notice of special meeting of the board of commissioners, to hear complaints that may be made, as to the valuation of any lot or piece of land appraised on West Eleventh street, Beech street, Spruce street, Willow street and Santa Fe street, which is liable for the cost and expense of said improvement now being made on said streets. Whereas, Heretofore, the board of commissioners did as by law provided, appoint appraisers to appraise the lots and pieces of ground, which would be liable for the cost and expense of grading, curbing and paving portions of West Eleventh street, Beech street, Spruce street, Willow! street and Santa Fe street.

Whereas, Said lots and pieces of ground have been appraised as by law required, and the appraisers have made return thereof, and filed the same with the city clerk. Now, therefore, E. C. Rice, mayor knew a bunch had headed south, but didn't suppose they had got as far as this already. Better leave Maxwell to run them in, I suppose? Our orders are to return to Dodge." "They haven't three hours the start," ventured Hamlin in surprise, "and cannot travel fast with so many.

of their ponies doubly loaded." "That is for me to decide," staring insolently, "and I understand my duty age done west of here?" "The station at the crossing is burned; two dead men there; I don't know what became of the third." "Then it is just as I thought fellows will turn north before they get that far. and will run straight Into Maxwell. What do you say, Sam?" The scout lolled carelessly in the saddle, his eyes on the river, his lean. brown face expressionless. "I reckon as how don't make no great difference what I say," he answered soberly.

"Yer ain't taken no advice frum me yit, fur as I remember. But if yer really want ter know. I will most likely hide in the bluffs till night, an' then sneak past Max well after it gits good an' dark. If this yere wus my outfit now, I'd just naturally light on to the trail fast, orders er no orders. I reckon it's Injuns we cum out after, an' I don't suppose the war department would find any fault if we found a few." The blood surged into the lieutenant's face, but opposition only served to increase his obstinacy.

"I prefer to rely on my own judgment," he said tartly. "From what this man reports they are In stronger force than we are. Besides my, instructions were not to provoke hostilities." Wasson grinned, revealing his yellow teeth. "Sure not; they are so damned peaceable themselves." "I prefer leaving Captain Maxwc'l to deal with the situation," Gaskins went on pompously. Ignoring the sneer, "as he outranks me, and I am under strict instructions to return at once to the fort.

Two of our horses are disabled already, and Smiley is too sick to be left alone. I'll not risk It.

The ladies at Dodge will fit you out when we get in. I am a bachelor, you know," he added, glancing aside into her face, "but can promise every attention." Her eyes" sought HaniVn where he stood straight and motionless, respectfully waiting an opportunity to speak. "Is is this what I ought to do?" she questioned, leaning toward him.

Whut the hell (beggln yer pardin, mam) has happened "I'll explain when we get across," and Hamlin swung the haversack to his shoulder, and turned to the girl.

"This is Sam Wasson, Miss McDonald, a scout I have been out with before; let me help you Into the saddle." CHAPTER Xlf. The Parting. They recrossed the stream carefully, the horses restless and hard to control in tne current, tne men naii. on either side, grasping the bit of the girl's mount. Others had joined the little squad of troopers on the bank, welcomed her with a cheer.

The lieutenant dismounted. At sight of the girl's face he whipped off his hat, and came forward. "Miss McDonald," he said, pleasantly greeting her, "I am Lieutenant Gaskins, and I have met your father of the Sixth Infantry, is he not? So glad to be of service, you know. ou were in the stage, I understand; a most remarkable escape." "I owe it all to Sergeant Hamlin," she replied, turning to glance toward the latter. "He bore me away unconscious in his arms.

Indeed, I scarcely realized what happened. Do you know anything regarding' my father?" "Oh, yes, I can put your mind at ease so far as he is concerned. I presume you were endeavoring- to reach his post when this unfortunate affair occurred." es. "Sheridan has ordered Devere abandoned for the present, and the major's troops are to return to Dodge. No doubt we shall be in the field within a week or two.

But we can cultivate acquaintance later; now I must straighten out this affair." He bowed again, and turned stiffly toward Hamlin, who had dismounted, his manner instantly changing. He was a short. heavily built man, cleanly shaven, with dark, arrogant eyes, and prominent chin. "You are a sergeant of the Seventh, you said," he began brusquely. "What were you doing here?" "My troop is stationed at Fort Union." was the quiet response.

I carried despatches to Devere, and while there, was requested by, Major McDonald to intercept his daughter and turn her back." "Were you subject to Major McDonald's orders?" "It was not an order, but a request." "Oh, indeed; a mere pleasure excursion." "It has hardly turned out that way, str, and conditions seemed to justify ray action." "That is for others to determine. When was the attack made?" "Just before sundown last evening. The driver and guard escaped on the lead horses, and the wheelers ran away, wrecking the coach." "There were four passengers?" "Yes; we fought them off until after dark, although the Mexican was killed by the first fire. I don't know when the other man got his." "Who were they?" "Gonzales ran a high-ball game at Santa Fe; the other, Moylan. was post-sutler at Fort Mercy." "How many Indians? Who were "About thirty; we mustvnave killed five or six.

It was hardly more than daylight when they left, and I could hot tell just how many bodies they strapped on the ponies.

GAME HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED THERE BEFORE Great Doings on Mount Oread This Morning; Prospects Dark but Enthusiasm Is Rife Lawrence, Nov. 22.

(Special) After the chapel exercises "on the hill" this morning, all classes were dismissed and the entire student body of the University assembled in front of the law building at the call of yell leader "Chuck" Dolde. The football band played and speeches were made by former K. U. gridiron warriors, among them "Pat" Crowell, captain, of the ever victorious 1908 team; Swede Carlson, Carl Pleasant, Dr. John Outland, C.

Prentice Donald, captain of the great team of 1906. The customary ceremony on the day before the Missouri game followed. A huge tiger of canvas stuffed with straw was carried around the campus and maltreated as the parade progressed, ending in a funeral pvre where the carcass was burned. This occurred strictly according to custom in front of Frazer hall. The big celebration will come tonight in the Robinson "gym." Four thousand people are expected to crowd into the building.

On the platform will be Chancellor Strong, George Fitch, the humorist and creator of celebrated Siwash college, and a host of former K. U. celebrities. The team hs been hustled out of Lawrence and its whereabouts is a matter for fnipss work. It is believed they are resting at some farm house nearby.

Despite the fact that Missouri is. doped to win, there has never been more enthusiasm in Lawrence prior to the annual than this year. This will be the first time in history that the Kansas-Missouri' game will be played in Lawrence. Kansas City was long the seat of war and Thanksgiving the date. In 1907 the game went to St.

Joseph and in 1908 to Joplin. Then it went back to Kansas City until last year when Columbia won the contest. A NEW CLASS LEAGUE Little Rock and Oklahoma City in Circuit Planned by Dale Gear Muskogee, Nov. 22. A baseball league that promises to be a permanent institution in the states of Oklahoma, Missouri and Arkansas, is now taking form as a result of agitation started in Little Rock, a few weeks ago by Dale Gear, formerly of the Little Rock and Shreveport teams.

The league is to be made up of cities that will have a population of nearly 400,000 Teople to draw from and the people in the league towns will be given class baseball, according to W. L. Tull, who has just returned from Little Rock, where he conferred with Dale Gear and other baseball men. "Little Rock is now out of he Southern league, and Oklahoma City is out of the Texas league, two towns will in all probability come into the new league, or do without organized ball. The people of Little Rock are crazy about the new organization, and Oklahoma City fans look upon it with high favor," said Mr.

Tull. It is proposed to form a league composed of the following towns: Shreveport, 30,000 population; Texar-kana, 20.000; Little Rock. Fort Smith, or Tulsa, Muskogee. Oklahoma City, Joplin and adjacent territory, 85,000, and Springfield, with 40,000. This will give the league nearly 400,000 people to draw from.

JIM CROW IN FOOT-BALI Oklahoma Team Bars Negro Guard on the Nebraska Eleven By The Associated Press. Lincoln, Nov. 22. With today only for practice before the Oklahoma game, Coach Stiehm was confronted with the task of deevlop-ing a new man to fill the place at' guard, created by the elimination of Ross and Erwin, the first because he is a negro, to whom Oklahoma objects, and Erwin, because of deficiency in class work. With few exceptions the squad of veterans is in good Stiehm and his regulars lined up against the freshmen and gave them a hard two hours workout in scrimmage play and in running signals.
