PAGE TWELVE. PERKINS HERE ND IN TRIM 10 MEET THE BEaT Casper Battler Back From Many Rings in Middle West. Harvey Perkins, Casper heavy- weight pugilist, is back home after several months of training’ and vaca- tioning in the middle western states. He is praying for the time when once again he will be turned loose in- side the ropes at the Elks or out at the rodeo grounds for 12 rounds of furious fighting. It doesn’ matter whether it 1s Bat- tling Siki or the Wil4 Bull of the Pampas, for Perkins is in trim for the best that money can attract to Casper, While away Perkins mixed with several men in his own class. At Des Moines he went eight rounds with Jack Ready and won the de- cision, Twice in Omaha he fought with Stengel, the first time losing by referee's decision but winning by that coming from the papers; he stopped Stengel In the seventh round when the two met later at Cudahy's in South Omaha. Jack Lewis continues as the mana- ger of Perkins. In Casper Carl Starr will back Harvey in lining up oppon- ents. All that remains now is to bring around the best in the land in the heavyweight class and let Perk ins show his latest style. SECOND LIFE IS TAKEN BY TEXAS MANIAC LUBBOCK, Texas, April 23.—A man belleved to be a maniac and the unidentified slayer of Dr. 8. 8. Windham Monday night, killed a second man this morning shortly efter day break. He is reported to be surrounded in an abandoned house several miles from Brownfield, a citizen’ posse of more than 300 men is making an effort to get him. As in the cass of the slaying of Dr. Windham, a 22 rifle apparently was used to knock tho victim down after which the maniac circled around and around the body, firing many shots into the fallen man. A special force of deputies left Lubbock under Sheriff Johnson shortly after 8 o'clock this morning armed with high powered rifles and a machine gun which is manned by experienced former ex-servicé men, deputized for the occasion, Dr. Windham was killed Monday night as he was driving to his ranch near Brownfield, from Thoka. After being shot in his automobile, he evidently attempted an escape and stumbled. Some 20 feet from the car the maniac, as shown by his tracks, circled around the fallen man, poured a steady stream of lead into the body Coolidge Wins Major Part Of Missouri Vote ST.

New Yorkers are notorious rub- bernecks, ‘They will congregate by the hundreds about a street hawker vending paltry ebllar_but- tons.

It took me back to my own days on the farm in the old country to hear him run on about how it felt to sink your bare feet in the new turned earth, Yep—in the old days him and me both used to walk behind the plow with our hands holding the two handles of it, and the reins ,round our necks.

MEXICO, City, April 23.—The re- cent succession of victories by the government troops and surrenders by rebel leaders have advanced the situation so that full peace in the re- public is possible within two or three weeks, according to General Serrano, secretary of war. Only a. few robel bands remain scattered over the country, all lack- ing the proper materials for war- fare and the majority of their chief- tains have applied for amnesty, he declared. The two most important among the remaining chieftains are Guad- alupe, Sanchez and Fortunato May- cotte. The former has been located at Minatitlan, Vera Cruz state, and the later at Hacienda midway be- tween Haujuapan de Leon, Oaxaca, and Acatian, Pueblo and military columns have been ordered to cap- ture and execute them.

SUNRISE SERVICE AT THERMOPOLIS HELD THERMOPOLIS, Wyo., April 23. —Easter Sunday morning at sunrise the Rev. Edwin A. Bell, pastor of the First Baptist church, led his flock up into a high mountain where they could yiew, if not the whole world, at least a good portion of it, and held the sunrise Easter service of his church. The mountain selected for the early service was Monument Hill, on the state reserve at the hot springs, one of the highest peaks in this part of the Rocky Mountains and one of the most difficult to climb, Monument Hill ts so named be- cause there are numerous piles of stone, “monuments, that have been erected by those who have scaled the height after having been cured of rheumatism and other afflictions by use of the water of the hot springs here. There, clustered among a hundred or more of these monuments, the Baptists. of ‘Thermopolis joined voices with those of the Christians of the world giving thanks for the risen Lord and His teachings that have clung so close to the hearts of men throughout the years, Not only was the mission inspir- ing upon which these men and women were bent, but the location at the top of this great mountain with a view of the wonderful valley carpeted with green, Big Horn river flowing majestically through it and Thermopolis nestled against the foothills of Owl Creek range and on the bank of the river, furnishing a view and an inspiration fitting to the occasion. It was a beautiful service and brought home to the hearts of all, pagan and believer, the fact that there is something in the teachings of the Christ for which men and women have always been ready to make great sacrifices, FOUR HELD ON LIQUOR CHARGE AT HARTVILLE CHEYENNE, Wyo., April 23.— Louis Simas, Joe Cilvice, Serafino Gepa and George Argus, have given bail for their appearance on liquor charges, the first three in the sum of $500 each ant the latter in the sum of $1000, and abatement pro- ceedings have been instituted against the places which they operated at Hartville, states a re- port to the state law enforcerhent department here.
