Lamar only had one team this year which was composed of Miss Maude Wright, Ralph Traxler and Richard Merrill. They were coached by Miss Bess Chap pell who accompanied them to Rocky Ford lust Saturday, and it was largely through her efforts that they made such a good showing.

Then the bull gored him twice and catching him on his horns threw him clear over the cor ral fence. His call for help was heard by one of the workmen who rushed to his aid, but found him dying. He lived only a few minutes. He was a young man, steady and reliable and highly respected by all who knew him. He leuves a wife and little child only nine months old, and the deepest sym pathy of all goes out to them in their great loss. The funeral service *as held from the Church undertaking parlors on Tuesday afternoon, and the interment was in Riverside ceme tery under the auspices of the local camp of Modem Woodmen of which he was a member. New Ordinance The city council this week publish ed a proposed ordinance relating to licenses and particularly to pool halls and skating rinks. The proposed reg ulations are very honerous and mean the closing of the skating rink and some of the pool halls if finally pass ed. It seems that the fad now is to close up every place where the young folks can meet and enjoy themselves, | and no effort is made to provide any substitute for them. Both of these amusements are harmless in them selves, but are like Sunday school or anything else—harm can be made out of them. The skating rink is can ducted by the members of Company C of the National Guard and they arc running it in u clean orderly manner that is winning them the patronage of the public and they are gradually building it up so it will pay them a small profit. The proposed license of *lO per week will wipe this out and force them to close. It is a home in stitution as the teacher is on a salary and gets none of the profits. The proposed license rate on pool halls is also very heavy, and the restrictions ns to hours will strike very heavily on their receipts. We believe a better ef fect can be produced by furnishing more instead of less amusement for the young men. You can’t expect all of them to sit down at home und read books.
