RAN INTO A TRAIN.
Runaway Horses at Arkansas City
Kill Themselves.
Bast evening John Potter of Maple
City and his hired man were driving
Into town when they had an exciting
runaway in which one of the horse
they were driving was killed and the
other so badly injured that it will die.
The men had just crossed the Walnut
river bridge on East Madison avenue
when the double tree bolt gave away
and let the double tree strike the
horses. They started to run. The
buggy tongue dropped out of the neck
yoke and caught in the road, breaking
the tongue and upsetting the buggy.
Potter held onto the reins and was
jerked out of the buggy. The hired
man escaped injury.
After he was jerked out of the bug
gy Potter was unable to stop the
horses and had to let them go. They
ran west on Madison avenue and col
lided with a moving freight car on the
Santa Fe crossing. One of the horses
was killed outright and the other bad
ly injured so that it is expected that
it will die. The car was being taken
to the yards by a switch engine. Ar

CLOSING DANCE HALLS.
Public Places Attract Young Girls
at Kansas City, Kan.
Kansas City, Kan., Dec. 2 0. The
public dance halls in this city are in
danger. City Attorney Ralph Nelson
was instructed by the council last,
night to draw up an ordinance closing
them. The order was made after the
reading of a communication from C.
S. Griffin, probation officer, who urged
the council to close the halls. He
said that he had exerted all his en
ergies to keep young girls from the
dances, but . could not do everything
by himself.
"I do not desire to reveal the names
of those whom I find frequenting
these dance halls,"- said Mr. Griffin,
"many have been reported to me, but
In a great many instances they are
from among the best families, who
would be disgraced were the public to
be informed of the behavior of their
daughters."
As the dance halls have been closed
in the Missouri Kansas Citv. the
dancing business has increased in
Kansas City, Kan.

Leavenworth, Kan., Dec. 2 0. Nat
ural gas has been turned into the
mains of the Leavenworth Light and
Heating company to supply Leaven

McCAMMISII WINS CASE. j
Assistant Attorney General Convicts a !
Jointist,
Kansas City, Kan., Dec. 20. L. D. !
Hampton, nephew of the. late Governor
Lewelling of Kansas, was convicted yes
terday of selling liquor at Till Minnesota
avenue. ' j
The Hampton conviction was the first '
since Mr. McCamish was appointed by
Gov. Hoch "as assistant attorney general
to clean out the lirraor houses in Wyan- :
dotte county. In his first two joint trials
Mr. McCamish met defeat. And in the
Hampton case the jury stayed out so
long many people looked for a failure to !
agree.
Mr. McCamish built a strong case in j
the Hampton trial, and there were two
counts against the defendant. In one he i
was charged witli maintaining a com- j
mon suisance at .731 Minnesota avenue.
He was not convicted on that count. He
was found guilty, though, of making a
sale of liquor at that number. The law
provides a punishment in his case of
imprisonment in the county jail from
thirty to ninety days and a fine of $100
to $500.
Hampton filed a motion for a new trial
and he was released on bond. The mo
tion will be argued January 6, and, if
Judge Holt overrules the motion, he will
sentence Hampton, in which case an ap
peal to the supreme court will probably
be taken.
MRS. NULL TESTIFIES.
Tries to Explain Her Meetings With
Clyde Kelley.
Kingman, Kan., Dec. 20. TheNull pois
oning case is drawing to a close. The de
fense placed its iast witness on the stand
Tuesday afternoon and rested. The de
fendant, Mrs. Null, occupied the stand
the greater part of the day and made a
good witness. Her testimony was large
ly along the line of trying to explain her
meetings with Clyde Kelley and the pass
ing of notes to him after he had been dis
charged by Harvey Null. Her excuse was
that her conferences and correspondence
with him were with reference to her di
vorce proceedings, under the direction
and advice of her attorney, B. D. Craw
ford. She claimed that the greater part of
her 17 years of married life she had been
overworked, and in consequence her
health had been broken; that she had no
chancft for social intercourse or enjoy
ment, or but very little, and that in con
sequence her married life had become in
tolerable. For this reason she sought a
divorce, but afterwards dismissed the
proceedings, and she and Iwr husband t
were living together at the time of his
death, which occurred shortly after the
divorce proceedings had been dismissed.
It is expected that the evidence w-iil all
be in today. Arguments of counsel will
take up the greater part of Thursday.
THE WOMEN'S GOOD WORK.
Federation of Clubs to Establish Coffee
Houses for Workmen.
Kansas City, Kan., Dec. 20. The
City Federation of Women's Clubs of
this city is completing arrangements
for the establishing of coffee houses in
this city. It is thought that the first
coffee house will be established about
January 1. The object of the resorts
will be to provide a place for the work
ingmen of the city where coffee and
sandwiches can be had, instead of
liquors.
The first coffee house will be opened
on Kansas avenue, near the Swift
packing plant. The officials of the
packing house have been consulted by
the women, and Mrs. Layton, who is
prominent in the movement, said yes
terday afternoon that their plans met
with the approval of the company.
Mrs. Layton stated that later a coffee
house would be established near
Armour's. The packing house district
is considered the best location for these
places. A reading room will be a
feature of the coffee rooms in order
that a man may enjoy his dinner hour.

STANDARD'S HEAVY TAXES.
Pays in Wilson County Alone the Sum
of $13,190.37.
This week County Treasurer W. L.
Hudson received a check from Theo.
M. Towl of New York city for $4 3,
190.37. Mr. Towl is manager of the
Standard Oil company and this check
was for the payment of the taxes in
full on that company's immense inter
ests in Wilson county. Mr. Hudson
says that Mr. Towl's check for taxes
was the largest ever received at the
county treasurer's office in the history
of the county. It costs the Standard
perhaps more money to keep its
wheels of progress in motion than any
other corporation in the world.
As to the amount of taxes it pays
annually Neodesha is the greatest
beneficiary therefrom of any township
in Wilson county. Neodesha Register.

Troy, N. Y., Dec. 20. Folio wing the
anouncement that the match between
Terry McGovera and Battling- Nelson
had been declared oft, Billy Nolan, rep
resenting Nelson, and George Neach,
a Troy sporting writer, acting for the
manager of McGovern, met at the New

signed new articles of agreement.
The match is to be six rounds,

which is to be $2,000,. will be posted
the latter part of next week, when
Nelson will be in this city. Marquis of

men are to weigh in at 133 pounds.
Nelson in speaking of the match aaid
he was anxious to take McGovern's
measure, and that he would begin hard
training as soon as his present the
atrical engagement expires. "I would
have fought him February 2. as origin
ally planned." he said, "only that my
engagement on the stage lasts ten
weeks longer, and I would not have
had time enough to get in shape by
that time. I am not afraid of McGov
ern and he knows when he said I was
glad to crawl out of that other match
he was merely bluffing."
MIXBOOX PICKS 1ITZ.
Tlie Famous Trainer Gives Views or
Coming Contest.
Mt. Vernon, N. Y., Dec. 20. Prof.
Wm. Muldoon, the well known physi
cal instructor, who has trained and
studied many prize fighters in his d;'y,
and who runs a big sanitarium on the
outskirts of White Plains, has given
his views on the chances of Bob i ltz
simmons giving Jack O'Brien a knock
out blow in their coming fight in San
Francisco next Wednesday night.
Professor Muldoon declared that
Fitzsimmons is not too old to fight, be
cause he is in perfect health and fine
physical condition, and picks Fitz for a
winner.
These are his views:
"1 don't think that the age of Bob
Fitzsimmons will have any effect on
him in his fight with O'Brien. I saw
him just before he went to Kan Fran
cisco, and he was then in perfect
health. I don't think speed will count
so much in this fight as the wallop,
although you will find that Fitzsim
mons will be just as speedy as his op
ponent. "Fitz is not so old as some persons
make out. He is only 4 2 years of age,
and when I saw him several months
ago he looked as though he was ready.
"O'Brien is a wise, clever fellow. I
don't think, however, that he is a
match for Fitzsimmons who will prove
to be too big and strong for him. Be
sides, his reach is so much longer, too.
Age should not count in a fighter.
Where it does affect a fighter it is
because the man does not take care
of himself. Fitzsimmons' retention of
health and strength is wonderful and
it is all due, as I hava said before, to
his efforts to preserve his body by not
abusing himself in any way. He is a
real fighter and not a boxer.
"Though wrinkles may come in his
face, his grand shoulders stand out
and remain as strong and firm as ever.
Those upper works furnish the driv
ing power and he still retains, I firmly
believe, that terrible wallop which in
past fights made his name a terror to
the ringsters."

FIXE LOT OF YOUNGSTERS.
Twonty-seven Two-year-olds Are in
the Ji:30 List.
Lexington, Ky Dec. 20. Statistics
compiled by an authority here shows
that baby trotters were unusually plen
tiful during the season of 1:405. Twenty
seven 2-year-olds' entered the 2:30 list,
just three times as many such young
sters as got a position In the charmed
circle in 1904.
The record for.. 1305 held by the Ken
tucky Futurity winner. Lightsome,
2:14, tops by a half second the fastest
mile made by a 2-year-old in 1904, that
of Bon Voyage, 2:15, also a Kentucky
Futurity winner. Senator J. W. Bailey's
great horse Prodigal, which the Texas
statesman secured at the closing out
sale of the late JUarcus Daly, is the
champion sire of extreme speed 2-year-olds
in 1905, he putting no less than six
performers in the list. Next comes
Baronmore, with five representatives,
among which is pd Custer that holds
the record for the year for colts. Silent
Brcok put four in the list, and John A.
McKerron has two youngsters to take
a record of 2:30 or better. The latter,
with his mark of 2:051,, is the fastest
trotting stallion to have a record 2-year-old
in 1905, though his mark is a sec
ond and a quarter slower than that held
by Directly, which pacing stallion sent
out Daffodil, one of the star trotting 2-year-old
fillies of the year.
In 1S05 seven youngsters beat 2:20,
while in 1904 only two accomplished this
feat. In 1903 Grace Bond trotted the
fastest mile made by a 2-year-old, she
going in 2:14, but the season previous
Katherine A marked 2:14 on the slate,
which still stands as a w-orld's record
for a 2-year-old filly, this mark being
made by Janie T in 1897. The world's
::-year-old record is held by Arion
(2:10), scored by that son of Elec
tioneer in 1891. Endow, by Cecilian,
holds the best record ever made by a
2-year-old gelding, 2:14.
"White Sox Outfield Weak.
Chicago, Dec. 20. Jimmy Calla
han's decision to quit professional
baseball will be a blow to the outfield
of the White Sox next year. Although
Comiskey secured a couple of outfield
ers last faill, by purchase and draft,
none of them is up to the class Calla
han has shown.
"Ducky" Holmes, who was one of
the best men the south siders have
had to fill in, has been granted his
release by Comiskey, that he may as
sume the management of the Lincoln
club in the Western league. In the
right garden has been Dan Green, who
probably saw his last season in major
league company last year. This leaves
only Manager Jones in the outfield.
Comiskey's two new men who will be
eligible for the outfield positions are
O'Neill and Hemphill, secured from
the Toledo club of the American asso
ciation. "Doc" Shively Was Satisfied.
Kansas City, Dec. 20. "Doc" Shiveley.
president of the Western Association of
Baseball clubs, has returned from New
York, where he attended the special
meeting of the National Association of
Minor Leagues last week. The meeting,
he said, "was entirely satisfactory. The
fact that Shiveley and his followers
were unable to make it the annual ses
sion of the association for the election
of officers and amending the constitu
tion, he says, will not interfere with the
plans that" have been maturing. The
whole programme, he believes, will be
pulled off when the magnates convene
for the regular meeting in Chicago the
9th of next month.

THREE TURF STARS TO MEET.
Race Between Cruzados, Bearcatcher
and Handzai-a Certain.
Los Angeles, Cal., Dec. 20. Final
acceptances were received by Manager
Brooks of the Ascot park track jester
day from all owners who had been so
licited to enter the three-horse special
match race for a $2,500 purse, and
the race will be run off Saturday, De
cember 23. This race, which will be
the turf attraction of the winter, will
bring Bearcatcher, Cruzados and
Handzarra together in a six furlong
sprint.
Bearcatcher will be favorite for this
race since the decisive defeat which
he administered to Cruzados in the
match race at Ingleside -Saturday.'
Handzarra, who has won three straight
victories at Ascot the present meeting,
is owned by F. B. Vanmeter, and un
fortunately for the filly's chances pull

THIS WAS A KILLING.
A 100 to 1 Shot Was the Sensation of
the Day at Frisco.
San Francisco, Dec. 20. The first
100 to 1 shot to land this season was
when Chestnut, the rank outsider in
the opening race at Ingleside, won in
a hard drive from Jerry Hunt. The
latter received a new lease of life un
der Radtke's pilotage and led to the
paddock when Chestnut came out of
the bunch and got up in time to
snatch the purse by a neck. With an
even break Lorida would have won.
The second incident of the day's racing
was when Louis Schumacher fell,
throwing his jockey. He was laying in
third position on the far turn, when
he shot up in the air, and fell. It was
found on examination that he burst a
blood vessel and he had to be de
stroved. Weather clear; track muddy.
Turner Goes to Dartmouth.
Chicago, Dec. 20. Joe Turner, right

Dartmouth next year. This announce
ment was made yesterday. Although
weighing but 145 pounds. Turner's
work in all. his games this fall stood
out with distinctness.
Only One Successful Favorite.
New Orleans, Dec. 20. Heavy rain
throughout the day made the track
very heavy and set all calculations at
naught. Marvel P., who was thor
