An Interesting Piece of Railroad
History.

The Kansas City Journal attempted t.
give history OF the NJ, X. 4 I. railway
in its issue of yesterday, bnt the account j,
in many respects faulty and misleading.
Congress granted the right of way through
the Indian Territory to the road that
should complete its track to the territory
line first. The competitors for the coveted
right of way YVES the south branch Of the
Union Pacific and the Kansas
City Fort Scott and Gulf. The former
had completed its line from Junction City
to a point a few miles northwest Of the
present site of Parsons by the time the
latter reached Baxter Springs on the south

that was the territory line as contemplated
by the act of congress, but the former lines
contended that the territory line was Oh

A BURGLAR.
Pat Griffin, Dresden Citizen,
Locked up for Bur-
glary
In Search of a Drink, He Gets
Into the Road to the
Penitentiary.

Pat Griffin, free and easy Irish
man about So years of age was ar
rested Friday night and brought be-
fore Judge Brady Yesterday morning
on a charge of burglarizing u. +.
Cassidy's saloon on Second street.
He had the appearance OF having
been on a protracted spree and prob
ably had a snake or two in his boots.
He has been employed on the Cham.
berlain farm near Dresden
but having hurt his foot he decided to
take lay of. After receiving his
check for the amount due him Thurs
day he came here and cashed it and
paid for weeks BOARD at the Goat
House and proceeded to fill himself
up with whisky. AT 3 O'Clock in the
afternoon he was too full to navigate
md he went to bed and slept till mid
night, He got up and started IN
quest of drink, and finding no place
open the testimony shows that he got
into the saloon in question by break
ing open back window. The jingle
of falling glass attracted the attention
of John Murphy, Charley Geary
and George Smith the porter OF the
Kaiser Hotel who at once decided that
the saloon was being burglarized and
the burglars were inside. They called
10 their assistance Officers James Cos
sage, Barnett and BledsOe and sur
rounded the place. At that moment
stranger came up out OF the weeds
back of the saloon and he was taken
into custody. He gave his name as
Joseph Schmidt, but it afterwards
proved that he had nothing to do
with the burglary.
The bar keeper, Tom Welch, was
sent for and they entered the saloon.
WEIGH discovered Griffin behind the
bar close to the money drawer and
drew a gun on him. The burglar
.!ropped en- the floor and it required
considerable effort to get MIN up.
WEIGH said he had left 50 cents
change in the money drawer. One OF
the pieces was pecuiiar snfei o-Seu'
piece. The IS cents, including
the silver 5 cent piece was found In
Griffin pocket, and he was taken to
the calabOose and locked up.
The court carefully heard the testl-
mony and bound the prisoner over to
the criminal court. His bond was
fixed at $500. but he was unable to
fill it and he was, therefore, sent to
Jail. o.
Griffin says he formerly lived at st.
Louis, where he had a family. Ihe
family all died, and ne has since then
drifted around, lndulging in periodi-
cal sprees.
1t is almost certain that he is no
professional crook, and had nothing
to DO with the burglaries which have
become almost a nightly occurrence.
