The compay supporting these two stars have all been selected for their fitness for the places they hold.
A board with as many bristles in it as there are men in the foot ball team might answer some people for a hair brush,but K. S. U. men and women want a hair persuader that means business and Raymond has them. Good stock and low money.
Best coal and low prices at Griffus.
A DASTARDLY DEED.
Fred Bassett Shoots Higgins and Cracraft Without Provocation -The Wounded Men Recovering.
Much Indignation Felt in University Circles—The Details.
From the Lawrence Daily Journal.
Monday evening at about 6:30 half a dozen students of Kansas University who had been practicing at foot ball on the athletic grounds, crossed the property of Judge O A. Bassett. Fred Bassett, the 19-year-old son of the owner of the place, was heard by one of the crowd to tell them to get off. He did not mention it to his companions, but all crossed as quickly as possible and were walking on the sidewalk along the south side of the Bassett place. In the meantime young Bassett had stepped inside the house, got a Winchester repeating shotgun, came out again on the porch and deliberately shot into the crowds as the boys were walking along the sidewalk. The charge struck W. E. Higgins and Jack Crucraft, who were walking together. Bassett made preparations to shoot again when Higgins fell. He then re-entered the house and on the arrival of Marshal Prentice a few minutes later he was in his room taking things quiet.
Cracraft was shot in the right leg and was not so badly hurt but that he was able to get to his room on Tennessee street.
Higgins wounds were more serious, however, and he was picked up by his companions, placed in a carriage and carried to his home. A physician was at once summoned and over 50 No.8 shot were taken from Mr. Higgins' arm, leg and body. He naturally did not sleep much last night, and how serious his wounds are cannot be ascertained for a few days.
Bassett was taken to the Douglas county jail and there confined. His folks are among the oldest residents of Lawrence and are highly respected by everyone. His father Judge O. A. Bassett, has been in business in Salina for some time past. Mrs. Bassett was at home and is much grieved over the act of her son. The affair is a very unfortunate one and much regretted by all.
Cracraft is from Hiawata and this is his first year at the Univrsrsty. Huggins is a graduate from the collegiate department of the University and for the last few years has been a successful teacher in Topeka. He is now taking a course in the law school. Both were resting as well as could be expected this afternoon.
The First Tennis Game.
The first tennis game between the University and Baker teams in the Triangular League was played Monday in the West Lawrence Courts. The wind was somewhat bothersome; the courts, however, were in a fair condition. There was no brilliant playing on either side. By supporting each other well and playing effectively at critical times, Tooney and King of Baker won over Alden and Sherman of the University, the score being: Kansas University and Baker, respectively: 4-6; 0-4; 0-4; 4-6; 4-6.
The singles and the last of the doubles between the University and Baker are to be played at Baldwin October 22.
