Foster was standing on the landing at the head of the stairs in the rear of the ers Bank building, he suf- fered a sort of a fainting spell and fell backwards into the hallway. Pros ing Attorney Dawson and Dr de Newlon, whose office are on the hall, heard the fall and the faint cries of Dr. Foster for help. They picked him up and he was taken to his home in the south part of the city, where after a few days of rest he recovered his usual health, The Doctor has been working very hard lately and his trouble is largely the result of that. He enjoys a very large practice and during the last few months has put in a great deal of time examining the men of the Bates coun- ty selective draft. Coffel-Francis.

It was a tired and sore, but happy, bunch of basket ball players that climbed off the train at the Missouri Pacific station Sunday morning. They were tired and sore because they had been thtough three gruelling contests and they were happy because they had won the basket ball cham- pionship of the second Missouri Nor- mal district. For their first game Friday the boys were lined up inst the Tees Summit team which they defeated by a score of 30 to I4. The hardest game was played Sat- ay afternoon when the strong In- ice team was their opponent, fast and hard game and all ck seemed to break in favor of the boys from Independence, In the first quarter their center, Emmett Bullock, was disqualified for personal fouls. He was succeeded by Clyde Borland, who played a_ fine game. Soon after Bullock was put out Hens- ley collided with the Independence center and sustained a gash over the eye that required several stitches to close. He kept on in the game, how- ever, until he was disqualified for per- sonal fouls. Tilsey was shifted to take his place and Board took Til- sey'’s place. At the end of the third quarter the score was tied, and after a fast and furious fourth quarter But- ler was returned a winner by a score of 17 to 15. Saturday night Butler and Pleasant Hill met forthe championship of the tournament. It was a good fast game but not so exciting as the Independ- ence game in the afternoon. Butler Butler was awarded the loving cup as the champions and Pleasant Hill received the ball used, second place.
