MEETS ALL COMERS
Lawbreaker Tried to Throw Police
Tilef Into Mud, but Failed
to Succeed
Chief of Police Jeffers Is rapidly
acquiring a reputation as a heavy
weight, and local friends may soon
match him with Wlllard for a bout.
A short time ago the chief went up
against three combatants and came
out victorious, the three trying to
manage the light plant when the
trouble started.
Thursday he found another would
be prize fighter, Paul Urban, who
had made himself generally obnox
ious by Insulting women on the
street, and who had had his hair cut
at a barber shop and had then re
fused to pay for It, besides commit
ting other offenses. Chief Jeffers
was called to the barber shop and
arrested Urban, who accompanied
him peaceably until they had nearly
reached the station, when the pris
oner asked where they were going,
to which the chief replied, "To the
Jail." Whereupon Urban objected
and Informed the officer he would
throw him Into the mud. A lively
mlxup ensued, In which Jeffers was
kept busy defending himself, until
he backed the prisoner against a
billboard and gave hlro one of the
"Jeffers Special" left handed upper
cuts, which so tamed him that he
tay down on the sidewalk for a short
rest. He was then removed to the
Jail without trouble, where he was
fined $25 and costs. He had $5.40
on his person, and this was applied
in part payment of the fine. The
city will be paid the remainder In
work.
Over 90 per cent of
Business Men Fail
Men fail in business because they do not know the game.
They lack system and a thorough knowledge of their business.
The reason why so many would-be farmers fail is because they
know little or nothing of the science of farming. They think
anybody can farm and then are surprised to find that their
crops will not grow. The farmer who is always behind, who
always has bad luck with his crops, is the man who farms by
guess and trusts to luck. If he were in the mercantile business
he would be in the hands of a receiver within a year. He is
a failure but he hangs on because the poorest farmer can get a
living out of the land if he only plows and sows the seed.
An Agricultural Education
The first thing a young man who intends to go into busi
ness should do is to take a course in a business college. Here
he can become familiar with the first principles of business,
without which he will fail. The first thing a man who expects
to farm should do is to take a course in an agricultural college,
if he can, but if he has not the time or the money to spend in a
two-year course, he can get the same instruction at home by
taking a course in the Campbell Correspondence School of Soil
Culture. Everything is furnished books and all at a very
slight cost, and the best thing about it, he does not have to
leave the farm or his work.
lie can choose from the following courses:
Soil Improvement Course
Horticultural Course
Small Farming Course
Soil Tillage Course
Summer is the time to study agriculture, and the farm and
garden is the laboratory in which to work out the problems.
Don't wait for fall or winter to begin, but get bsuy now. You
will learn more in one summer applying your instruction in the
fields than in a dozen winters sitting by the fire.

It Is not known where Urban halls
from, but he Is a blacksmith and had
been working at odd Jobs In this vi
cinity for several days. On Thurs
day he came to town with the Inten
tion of getting some medicine, which
It seemed consisted of "Joy water",
and he remembers little that hap
pened after his arrival In town until
he found himself locked up In the
Hotel de Jeffers. The chief stated
that Urban was "some man" with
his fists, and that for awhile he
thought the prisoner would carry
out his threat and throw him Into
the mud.

Jack Johnson, a brakeman, with In

yard office so It would not be neces
sary to take them back. Johnson
walked forward to the engine on
which Fred Ueeder, another brake-
man, was standing, and, standing on
the engine tank, shouted to Reeder
to "catch them". At that he threw
them, but Reeder railed to make the
"catch", and the result was that the
bundle went straight Into the open
Ore box.
The. Incident caused no unneces

to makes such a throw, he thinks he
will tie a barrel to the bundle so
there will be no danger of It going
Into the fire box.
HOMESTEAD CASE' SETTLED
lias llecn In Litigation Several Years
Kiit r j man Died llefore
Making Final Troof
The case of the homestead protest
which names James McGuirk, Coote
C. Mulloy, Francis C. Mulloy and
James K. Rice has been settled, and
the land Is now in possession of Rice.
This case has been in litigation for
several years. It seems that Mc
Guirk made homestead entry on July
31. 1897. He died January 27, 1910,
leaving the homestead to Coote C.
Mulloy. Final proof was submitted
by Coote C. Mulloy May 6, 1911, but
the certificate was withheld, proceed
ings being Instituted upon a report
of a special agent, the charges being
that the defendant had not maintain
ed his residence on the homestead
according to law; that he had not
improved and cultivated It; that he
did not make entry for his own use
and benefit, but for the use of Coote
C. Mulloy, the devisee, and that
Coote C. Mulloy had entered Into a
contract to sell the land prior to his
submission of proof therean.
Mulloy died before the date fixed
for the hearing, and the homestead
was left to his heir, Francis C. Mul
loy, and James E. Rice, transferee,
and the hearing was held on July 21,
1914. The government submitted
its testimony, but the defense offer
ed none. The claimant in the case
made final proof, and as It appeared
that all fines and commissions had
been paid on May 6, 1911, and pro
ceedings not having been Instituted
until February 11, 1914, which was
not within two years from the date
of the issuance of the receipt, the
entry was held confirmed, and James
R. Rice is now owner of the land.
The defense was represented by
Boyd & Metz.
