Dodge City, Kan., Feb. 3. So far as
Ford county is concerned the services

when Patrolman John W. Hooper is
looking, and that officer of the law
was a veritable little Bright Kyes at
a club dance given In Armory hall.
Officer Hooper, who constitutes
Hutchinson's only dancing commission
er, had warned the dancers in advance
that they must not do any of the for
bidden dances, and then when a couple
started out with the music right in
front of his eves, that was too much,
and he called the festivities off for the
evening.
"I'll see that you lose your star for
this," said "Jack" Martin, who has
been manager at the club dances.
"We'll talk about that tomorrow.
Right now, this dance is off. Get your
wraps and go home; it's all over," said
the patrolman. I time.
Complaints that oy was a nine wu that
"tmconfined" at the Thursday nigh.,
dances at the Armory hall, have been
circulating about for several weeks,
and for the last two weeks, the dance
lias been under police ' surveillance.
Officer Hooper was detailed to watch
the festivities.
There is some dispute as to the dance
that was in progress when the officer
needed to effect a jury reform. A case
was tried in the district court during
this term with but nine -Jurors. The
Jury in the case preceding was still
out when the Coy & Burno vs. Cord
case came up for trial and but 0 venire
men were available. Both sides agreed
that as far as they were concerned this
would be enough. The trial proceeded.
Court officials here say it is the first
time they remember of this irregularity
being allowed.
WHEAT ACREAGE IS LARGE.

The dancers insist that
it was a very modest turkey trot, while
the officer insists that the aance close
ly resembled the accepted version of
the "grizzly bear.'"
To distinguish between these two
new dances requires a true critic. The
accepted difference between the "bear"
and the "turkey trot" is that there is
less progress with tne teet ana more
action with the body In the former.
On the walls of Armory hall is a
large cardboard sign which says:
"Bunny hugs, grizzly bear, and other
similar dances are positively barred.
This means you."
CHASE "VAGS" WITH DOGS.
' JUDGE TOl'M) OLD FRIEND.
Former Prosperous Farmer and Law
yer Goes Booy.e Route.
Atchison Kan.. Feb. 3. Pale and
shaking, the bent figure of a .once
Strang man was brought before Judge
Church White in police court.
"Drunk and unable to take care of
himself," announced the recording of
ficer. ,
The Judge took one look at the man
before him. .
"Great Heavens!" ne exciaimeu.
"Man alive, what brought you
this?"
"Booze," was the reply.
The arrested man was John Archer,
formerly a respected citizen and able
lawyer of Holton. Kan. He is now an
inmate of the soldiers' home at Fort
Irfavenworth. He was on his way
from St. Joseph to the post yesterday,
and at the depot he was so intoxicated
that he was unable to step from one
train to the other.
r 'Archer was one of the most able
men I ever knew," said Judge White.
'Twenty years ago he sold a valuable
farm near Holton. and studied law.
He made an excellent lawyer, but he
took to drink, and it got him."
Bloodhounds to Free City From the
Hobo Pest.
St.. John, Kan., Feb. 3. Jacob
Koelsch. proprietor of the Just Right
kennels, Richard township, has re
ceived "a couple of genuine English
bloodhounds for use in tracing crim
inals in this section of the state. After
their arrival they were placed on ex
hibition. A movement was soon start
ed whereby, it is thought, vagrancy
will be a thing of the past here.
It is urged the hounds be used to
chase loiterers from the city limits
when they are not tracting criminals.
THROWN OX TRACK BY TEAM.
Did Runaway or Train Cause Death
of Marshall.
Wellington, Kan., Feb. 3. Guy Marshall,
35 years old, piano salesman for a local
house, was thrown on the track of the
Southern Kansas railway three miles east
of this city last night, when his team ran
HU'T. Marshall was ci t li hi- stnnnpH nr

accident nis Dooy remained on tne rails
until it was run over by a westbound
passenger some time after. Marshall came
here four years ago from Bolton, Iowa.
He leaves a wife and son.
Dodge City, Kan.. Feb. 3. A sugges
tion that Kansas cities of the first and
second class should have an auditor
supervised by the state was made here
by Sam Gallagher, city clerk, yester
day. Mr. Gallagher thinks the office
would be self-supporting, if not a rev
enue maker for the state.
"There are few towns that would not
pay $100 a year to have the city books
audited every 6 months," said the
Dodge official. "It would introduce a
universal system of bookkeeping, teach
city clerks tRe most efficient methods
of handling accounts, aid new officials
and keep the taxpayers at all times
conversant with city financial affairs."
The Kansas Municipal League has
suggested many improvements in city
management. Dodge is a member of
the league and Prof. Richard R. Price,
Dean of the Extension Division, Kan
sas University, and President of the
bill creating the
office for presentation to this legisla
ture.
Some cities already publish quarterly
reports of their financial condition and
this custom has spread rapidly in re
cent years. But each city has its own
method of bookkeeping, handling ceme
tery funds, water, light, sewer, sprink
ling and other city improvements.
Some methods are excellent. Some are
abominable.
State supervision and instruction, it
is believed, will remedy the existing
defects. I

KINSLEY TEAM WINS AGAIN.
Someone Should Defeat Coach Faik
ner's Boys.
Great Bend, Kan.. Feb. 3. The Kinsley
high school basketball team which has
been winning everything in sight in the
valley this year defeated Great Bend in
a sensational game here. The score was
35 to 43. The night before this team beat
Sterling 34 to 42.
Kinsley's center was out the first half
owing to a sprained ankle and
the half ended 12 to 19 in Great Bend's
favor. The final half was a breathless
bit of work. Twice Great Bend led by
seven points. Twice Kinsley passed it.
Kinsley has now played four games in
the new Western Athletic league, winning
each of them. This seems to put Coach
Faulkner's boys in line for the pennant.

Muggsy McGraw should be able to tell
young Thorpe something about base
ball as it should be played.
Note to J. E. H. Why not make the
Kling thing an issue in the city cam
paign. It would not only arouse con
siderable interest but might prevent
the revival - of the alleged "wet and
dry" question.
You can play it almost safe by of
fering a prize for the club that does
not claim to have Thorpe under con
tract. "Ducky" Holmes announces that he
has his entire team signed for next
year, that there are no holdouts on
the Sioux City club and that he's go
ing to be somewhere in the vicinity of
the altitude record when it's all over
next fall. Now is a good time to grab
the bunting all right. The only worry
is that "Ducky" doesn't stop trying for
the flag when the race begins.
And President Tipperary remains in
Chicago even unto this day.
Denver is hard to understand. In
