AN ONO HOUSE BURNER wANrED.

Late last night Detective Bishop re-
ceived dispatch from Dayton, o., saying
information had been received there to the
effect that man named Nose Fultz, who
Is charged with setting fire to a railroad
freight house there, had been located at
Wichita and asking him to arrest him at
once. Mr.. Bishop Immediately struck out
to find his man and after long search
found that he had left town yesterday morn
ing for GAINESVILLE, Tex. Mr. Bishop teIe-
graphed the description of the man to the
officers at GAINESVILLE and it is probable
that he will be arrested there before sunset
this evening. He is a peculiar looking
fellow and the officers will have no diff
Guilty in identifying him. Thinking he
might stop on the way Mr.. Bishop also
telegraphed his description to Arkansas
City, Guthrie, Oklahoma City and Purcell
Fultz was an employees of the railway
company who had been discharged for
drunkenness and set fire to the freight
house for revenge. One thousand dollars
have been offered as a reward for his cap
ture. 1t is is not known how the Dayton
officers located him at Wichita but it is
supposed that he wrote letter from here
He came to Wichita week ago yesterday
and was on continual spree while here
When he left yesterday morning he told
an acquaintance where he was going and
showed him $40 in gold, 81 in silver and
$2 bill which be said was all the money he
had
Enquiry at the depot revealed the fact
that tough looking character bought a
ticket there for Arkansas City and paid
for it with a $40 gold piece and it was on
this clue Mr.. Bishop based his idea on that
he might have stopped off at some inter
mediate point between here and Gains

Nov. 81 has this item in regard to Central
church, Detroit, Of which Rev. r. T. Savin
is pastor:
"The mother church Of Detriot Method
ism is the Central. She has a queenly
edifice, whose grandeur Of proportions and
architectural beauty grow more apparent
with the passing years. The church is
valued at $175,OOO, and the parsonage at
SIS, 900. The Central reports s14 members
and forty-six probationers Her generosity
is proverbial She has given literally in
the founding aud upbuilding of all the

largely made up of those who are not
members. The Central is doing consider

Mrs. VIM. Dudley, who preside over the
affairs of the poor farm to the general sat
isfaction of everybody, were married.
Man-like, Mr. Dudley never for moment
thought of the event, and would probably
retire to his bed last night thinking only
Of his fine white faced cattle, of which be
is SO proud, were it not for number OF

husband and was thoroughly prepared to
take care of her guests and accord to them
her characteristic hospitality. When Mr.
Dudley recovered from his surprise he for
got his white-faced cattle, put on his best
clothes and settled himself down to have
as much of the pleasure of tbs occasion
as anybody. The entertainment took place
in the parlor of the fine building the
county has provided for the poor. Card
tables were squared around and some of
the guests e joyed themselves with that
popular card game, McGinty, while the
others INDUCED in pleasant conversation.
Miss Bessie, the adopted daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Dudley, introduced the guests
and by her charming manners made every
one feel at home Mrs. Dudley engaged
actively in household duties and at 9
O'Clock had nice surprise in store for the
guests, in the shape of very elaborate
supper which included oysters, celery,
turkey, all kinds and varieties of preserves
and fruit, and, in fact. everything that
could be found on the table of the highest
toned hotel in the southwest. The guests
thoroughly enjoyed it and elaborately
praised Mrs Dudley's ability as cook
Those who were present besides the rela-
tives were Captain aud Mrs Wallace, Mr.
and Mrs. Syl Dunkin, Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. A
Carvin. Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Dean and
son, Mr.. and Mrs. W. S. Rogers, Mr.. and
Mrs. Bennett, Mr.. and Mrs. Fouts, County
Commissioner Randall, County Physician
st. John, ]. r. Holiday and others.
1t was a delightful occasion and the
guests returned home at 10 o'clock, after
wishing Mr. and Mrs. Dudley many more
