A VERY ACTIVE CUSTOMER.

John Comfy had quite an experience with
a customer last evening He was so badly
| frightened that very soon he went home
and fell in bed. He admitted in whisper
last night that he had not been scared so
bad since the war. Looking back over the
stormy moments he would change color in
! quick succession, and physicians who
make a speciality of nervous troubles were
in great demand. The plodding Tobias
was also in the same little boat. He also
went home and alternated hot bricks and
! ice cakes at the foot of the bed.
Everything was quiet just before the
! after-supper trade. A well dressed woman
of apparently - years, brunette TO finish,
and, withal, decidedly attractive, called at
the store. She wanted poison often used
for suicide and small tricks of that kind.
Comfy replied with one of his Irish league
smiles that he was very sorry that
he did not have the drug,
and at the same time give her the com
mon observation that he was expecting
to have some on hand within a very few
days. She replied to his mild answer
There were very few present but no one
failed to observe that she replied. Con-
corning other features of the story all do
not follow the same in their statements.
But as to the replying" part all agree
there appears little doubt but that it is
correct. John even remembers this fea-
ture of it. In the midst of the reply he
tried to disappear. In fact he did disap-
pear leaving Tobias to prance around In
the flames. There was very little smoke
but an abundance of hot fire and no cold
fire. In the course of time two policemen
appeared. John was on the outside. The
officers had trouble and forced John as a
spectator to come to their assistance. He
did the come" all right but was of little
assistance. The crowd by this time num-
bered apparently from two to
five hundred souls and some with
out. The without souls" were making
quite a noise. They thought it very fun
ny. The active customer finally reached
the sidewalk assisted by a number of act
i've fellows The captain in charge decid-
ed that an express wagon was necessary.
1t was finally secured and the combination
took a ride to the calaboOse. The custom
er was given accommodations at that
point. She refused name and any infor-
nation about herself, but it was learned
that she came here few days ago from
Kansas City under the guidance of a
rather we'll known railroad man who calls
Wichita his home. She is known as
Stella Brassfield and her parents live at
Atchison.

FIGURING ON SEWER RIGHT OF WAY.

The sewer committee of council held a
meeting yesterday morning and considered
some right of way matters. There is yet
about seven hundred feet Of right of way
to be secured. IL is the tough links "
The properly owners concerned would
rather the straight lines go around them.
Some are afraid of the sewer and same
want money to allay their fears, while
others are not prenared TO take money and
run chances Of having by day and nightli
constant reminder or a bad trade. The
sewer committee. however, is figuring
quite lively under the inspiration of a rep
rimand from the council Monday night
The members of the council not on the
committee claim they are bounced upon
daily by property owners who want the
sewer completed or at least the obJectiona-
BILE features increasing 10 be removed
They not being on the committee could in
sist on the work being rushed along The
sewer contractors also claim 10 have an in
terest in the matter. They represent that
they could have gone ahead and had the
lob completed many months ago had the
council furnished the right OF way. They
have been somewhat disturbed over the
delay and in due time may apply for

DIVISION HEADQUARTERS MOVED
Ike Offices OF the Santa Fe Southern Division
TO be Brought to Wichita

1t is stated on good authority that the
headquarters of Mr.. Parsons, superinten-
dent of the southern division Of the Santa
lie will be moved from Wellington to
Wichita within a few days. Yesterday
| the rooms formerly occupied in the Hart
wig block by the Wichita and Western
were rented and will be temporary quar-
tiers for the division. 1t is intended to oc-
cupy rooms in the second story of the
freight building now being erected, but
that building will not be completed for
some months, and hence it was considered
necessary to secure rooms for temporary
use. 1t is claimed the offices will be re-
moved within three or four days.
1t is claimed that for some time the man
agement has conceded that the business of
the southern division could more easily be
handled from here than from any other
point. More branches from Wichita, and
any point could be reached from here
more quickly than from Wellington,
which fact suggested the change.
Mr. Turner for some time had thought
seriously Of change but his surround
ings were such as caused him TO remain at
Wellington, Mr.. Parsons taking charge
the division short time ago had no diff
Guilty in deciding that he would rather
have the Offices at this point.
The southern division which will have
headquarters here embraces about 1000
miles of road going to Purcell on the Gal
weston line and taking in the lines in the
southwest. 1t is thought, however that
within "a short the division will be cut
down to about zoo miles which will more
nearly conform to the ability of one man
TO handle successfully

AN IMPORTANT DAMAGE SUIT.

IN. w. Levy vs.. City of Wichita" is the
style of a suit filed in the common pleas
court. 1t concerns the much talked OF
bond sale made last May. At that time,
it will be remembered the council sold to
Mr.. Levy, bonds calling for S264, 500 The
form of bond as made out by the city was
not acceptable and, after two or three eff
forts on the part of the city to get bond
that complied with the law, according to
those making speciality of that business,
the city sold the bonds to Splitter & Co.,
and up to this day some of them have been
delivered. The petition alleges that the
plaintiff made tender of the money to
the city on July 10. but it was not ac-
cepted.
The damages asked for are embraced in
the amount of Sl6,5OO, the amount the
plaintiff had sold the bonds for above the
purchase price. 1t is said that the form of
bond finally given TO Splitter & Co. was
practically the same as that asked for by
Mr. Levy, and denied.

fectly quiet for five minutes, and then tip
toed over and took up my trousers. There
wasn't over thirty cents in change in the
pockets. He then tried my trunk, but it
was locked He picked up my coat and
vest, but had removed everything. He
stood for a while as il in doubt, and then
started to come to the bed.
