Special TO the Gazette.
PARIS TEX. July 29.-Dave BohanDan,
an Indian policeman, arrived here to-day
with Jim Mcdowell, a white man, whom
he had arrested for the murder of Shop
pard Thompson in Perkins county, Choc-

negro had been employed by a man
named Bob Morrow to work one month
for a shotgun, He lacked one day of
finishing his month and got the gun.
Morrow wanted him to work the other
day, but he failed or refused to do so.
Morrow then in company with Mcdowell
sought the negro and shot him down
without warming. Both fed the country,
and Morrow has not since been heard
from. Mcdowell went to Western Texas,
where he had difficulty with a stock
man and returned to the Territory a few

FIGURING ON THE SITUATION.

The heating and ventilating committee
of the school board, consisting of Piatt,
Martin and Sawyer. held a meeting yester-
day to consider the situation in the First
and Fifth wards. They have heating
apparatus with nine foot reach to squeeze
into seven foot space. One of them
stated yesterday that in his Judgment
there would have to be two feet borrowed
from the bottom or allow the heater to
run up through the first floor. He thought
the former would be the best plan. They
could not exactly see the why or negative
action taken in the matter at the recent
board meeting, but so and so was the sit
uation and how to make the most OF it
the problem. They seemed to suspicion
that some sort of scheme had been set
I'D and worked to finish on them, but
were not exactly certain of it. The light
ming had struck some where and brick
house in the neighborhood fell down. And
by the way in this connection IL may be
stated that in the report Of the school
board meeting appearing yesterday Mr..
Piatt was made to give figures on cost OF
buildings SO far provided for and being
against motion to raise grade of founda-
ton of First ward building eighteen
inches 1t was Mr.. Clapp who made that
statement and intended so to appear. Mr..
Clapp says he has no objection to Mr..
Piatt taking that position and would be
glad if he would.

AJAIL BREAK FRUSTRATED.

On Monday night the implements for
breaking out of the county jail were secret
" passed into Lemons cell. Something
unusual was noticed in the evening by
Tailor Ed Darnell, who kept his own coun-
sci for the time being, but commenced to
investigate. After carefully searching all
of the cells and prisoners he found three
files of the finest make and bottle nitric
acid. The saw which would be necessary
TO cut the iron in the bottom Of the cells
was probably never procured, During the
week Darnell has been doing some detec-
tive work and has secured evidence
enough to convict his man. Last evening
it was only the work of few minutes to
find him and place him under lock and
key. The prisoner is generally known bv
the name of SnakeleG and has the reputa-
ton of being crook. He is a colored man
and has evidently been retained by
Lemons friends to aid in his escape. The
plan was 70 soften the iron floor OK the
cell with acid so that saw would cut II
and admit the prisoner TO the basement
Here be would find the tools that belong
TO the Jail and which he could appropriate
TO tunnel his way out under the founda-
tons. The vigilance OF the officers Of the
Jail though has nipped the scheme in the
bud.

CITY COUNCIL oFPUEBLo VISITS VIGIL

At IL o'clock today or upon the arrival
of the Missouri Pacific from the west, the
city council of Peublo will reach Wichita.
They will be accompanied by D. H. Bald
ridge, of the firm of Hubbard & Baldrldge,
who proposes to put in line OF electrlc
railway in Peublo. Immediately after
dinner the members of the visiting council
will repair to the rooms OF the board OF
trade rooms where they will meet such of
our representative citizens and others VINO
may be present there at that hour. AS
their special mission is to examine into
the practical workings of the two electric
rystems now in operation here, they will

accompanied by the president OF
the Wichita Board of Trade and
other members and invited citizens
20 over both lines or portion OF each.
What they will find out touching these
lines everybody here Of course knows.
They will find the most economical, swift,
noiseless and sure system Of street trans
portation ever vet invented, system
| which for safety equals the horse car,
which for swiftness equals the steam car
| and which for sureness equals the cable
|
economical of operation than any OF those
named, but which in first cost. and there
fore in necessary earning powers, is not tc
be considered in connection with the costly
and expensive cable system. The Wichlta
system works equally well in all kinds OF
weather and has never as yet met with g
mishap worthy of the name. In short
they will find the coming street railway OF
the country and the most popular ever YET
thoroughly tested.

that our visitors will further find. if the

WANT A PLACE.

Councilman Healy said yesterday he
had been looking into the report made by
the board of health to the city council at
its city government. 1t favored a meat in
spector, and in reply to this he said he
could find no one wishing the city to have
meat inspector or able to give any reason
for it except number of fellows who want
the position. He said the reason for Gre
ating the Office, to the fellows hoping to
have the appointment, is selfish one OF
course. He observed that most of the
special office-making for the benefit of
Wichita from the various sources was the
result of some fellow being hungry and
most too much of a parasite to work and
wanted to do anybody up just to get job
with little work, big opportunities for
more pay than the mere salary which
came out of the city. Enough of mere
ksalaries, however. amounted to something,
judging from glance at financial condi-
tions and from the number and size OF
| bills on first and second r eading in the
council. He thought the tendency was ID
favor of office creating and filling. the lat
ter as much as the former, if not really IN
the ascepdancy, and in his opinion meat
inspector, with a corps of assistants with
Headquarters in some elegant block paid
for by the city, would in a short time be
| added to the list of expenses and NUM-
cipal strength Had counted tiftv-four
who want to be some where on the list and
had much strength at home and abroad
and with knife and fork make
elegant meat inspectors as we'll as tasters.
AS to the gas whoopla he had not been
able to find even traces of it. Had heard
there was some trouble two months ago
but not now. Two months ago hot
weather had caused trouble and In the
event of no flush tanks and enough ho;
weather, next summer would bring
trouble most likely and in his judgment
the muchly pigeonholed documents about
flush tanks should be given an airing and
business basis. This would probably be
done Just as as soon as the eager rush over
plans for the city building was over and
| accounts balanced I'D,

RAPID TRANSIT NOTES.

Some of the citizens on North Fourth
avenue are complaining Of service being
given by the City railway or rather COM
planning of the service in that section AS
stated for some days no cars have appear
ed there and they are compelled to walk
always.
The city railway expects to commence
work putting down track on Seneca street
in few days to connect Chicago avenue
with Maple street. Some of the West
Side people are anxious for the line to be
put in. The feeling seems to exist mostly
with the business men on the avenue, for
they claim the south part of the Fifth
ward is compelled to do its trading on the
East Side, going with the Maple street
line and to come out to the avenue on Sen
eca street would give them chance to do
their trading their.
Work was suspended yesterday on the
Burton car works extension of the River
side & Suburban, owing to the lack of
material 1t is expected to arrive any day
and after it does a few more days will find
the extension ready to operate.
