T. G. CutIip in Trouble.

A demand having been made upon
Governor Humphrey for requisitiOn
for man who escaped from Barber
county to Oklahoma. the governor sub
mitted the question to Attorney Gener-
al Kellogg whether the requisition
could legally be issued. Mr.. Kellogg
decided that inasmuch as there was no
governor or chief officer in Oklahoma
who could honor requisition, there
was no way at present in which a fugi-
tive from justice can be brought back
to Kansas from Oklahoma by requisi-
ton.
The fugitive in the case referred to
above is L. G Cutlip, formerly an attor-
ney of this city. His brothers in law,
G. & o. Mills, of Lake City township,
made complaint before the county at
tOrney that he, Cutlip, had swindled
them out of money under the following
circumstances They went on his note
for $3.50 at the Citizens National bank
in this city. About the time the note
became due, Cutlip went out to their
place with another note for SIPS and
telling them that he had paid $44 on the
first note, said that he wanted to take
up the old note with the new one. They
endorsed the note and Cutlip brought
it to town and discounted it and failed
to take up the old note. 1t is said that
he played similar trick upon his faith
er-in-law, w. G. Mills, at the First Nat
ional bank, in this city. Cutlip is now
in Oklahoma, at Kingfisher. it is said,
and he told gentleman from this city,
who met him there, that he would come
here without a requisitiOn to meet the
charge against HIM. Sample & Long
have been retained to assist the county
attorney in prosecuting this case.
