q DEFAULTER,
The Financial Secretary of the Ciga-makers
Union Disappears.

T. r. Parker, who has been the treas
urer for the international Cigarmakers
union of Wichita division 286, for some
time, left the town under cloud night
before last and leaves the members of the
union to mourn his loss to the tune of $500.
Parker first placed foot on Wichita soil
five years ago, coming to this city from
Coldwater, Mich. He has worked in a
number of cigar factories in this city since
that time and was looked upon as an hon
est and trustworthy man by his compan-
ions. When his acquaintance were made
aware of the fact of his disappear
ance they began to suspect something
wrong and on yesterday forenoon a COM
mittee of the union called at the Wichita
National bank where Parker had informed
them he kept his deposits. The gentle
men were here informed that their treas
urer had no account with the bank and
had withdrawn his deposit sometime ago.
Further developments showed that the
defaulting treasurer was some $500 ahead
Of his fellow members. He worked the
matter very smoothly and had been doc
toring up his accounts since last May in
bank book of his own, which he produced
whenever occasion required it. The en-
tries showed that he had deposit OF 5000
IN the bank when the facts were he had
withdrawn his deposit months ago. Moth
ing can be ascertained as to the missing
mans whereabouts

BEAT AT HIS OWN GAME.

Some Dutch horse trader has got him.
self into trouble by trying to work a game
on some, as he thought, innocent and IN
experienced people He traded two mules
and two horses for one horse in this city
yesterday, The horse for which he was
trading for was said to be very fast, and
some fellow he took to be a friend said il
the trade was made he would give 500 for
the horse The Dutchman rushed the
trade through, getting only so difference
between his four animals and the
race horse, when his friend suddenly
disappeared and he now has one horse for
his four. He still thought he was all
right until he drove his new horse when
he found him to be spirited driver that
could trot a mile in something like four
minutes and that he was worth not more
than 800 He then proceeded to make a
complaint, but az he had been so keen to
beat some one else that he beat himself,
the police could do nothing for him,

a CASE OF HYpRoPHoR1A.
A Little Boy Dies From This Dread
Disease

George Tankersiy, a little 9-year-old
boy, died at his home yesterday morning
OF hydrophobia after the most terrible ag
onies. His death was witnessed by mem
bers Of the family and Dr. Croskey, who
was called in shortly before death ensued
and cut short the awful ravages OF the dis
ease.
Some nine weeks ago the little fellow
was bitten by a large dog belonging 10
Mrs. VI. E. Lease, of this city. The wound
was bad one and it was a week or more
before the boy could be around again.
Several other children were bitten by
the same dog at nearly the
same time. Shortly after the dog
was killed by the authorities and showed
signs of hydrophobia at the time he was
killed. On Wednesday the boy was taken
with spasms. Physicians were called, but
they could do nothing for the unfortunate
child. He grew worse until yesterday
morning, when DR.. Croskey was called in.
The boy was loudly calling for water when
the doctor entered. When a glass of
water was shown to him he was seized
with commissions and began TO bark like q
dog. He jumped out Of bed despite the
efforts of his attendants to keep him in,
and crawled over the floor on his hands,
snarling swapping barking and uttering
hideous sounds. After getting him to bed
again he asked the doctor for to-
bacco. The physician complied and gave
the boy some fine cut which he
had. The boy eagerly took it,
and began to chew it most vigorously.
The child had never before touched
tobacco but he seemed to relish it. AS he
kept chewing the froJh which had gath
cred at his mouth slowly disappeared.
After a while he was given more tobacco
after which he quieted down, and dropped
off into sort of comatose condition, and
shortly after died. The nicotine in the
tobacco had acted rs narcotic and
relieved the boys sutferings. DR.. Croskey
says that nicotine had been used in SINH
lar cases, but he did not know that
tobacco would have the same effect. The
boys folks are very poor and the county
will bury him today. The case is a sad
one, and parents cannot be too diligent ia
warning their children to keep out OF the
reach of vicious dogs

ROBBED 4 BOY.

A man. who gave his name at the police
station last night as George Shellan, was
arrested by Capt. Bedford Woods on com
plant of a young boy who gave his story,
the substance Of which IS that he was out
of work and wanted 70 get TO Kansas City
but had only 50 to go on. Some time yes
terday while the boy was trying TO work
some scheme to get to Kansas City, he fell
in with this George Shellan, who told him
that for the IS he could get a pass
over the Santa Fe and he could
then 20 into Kansas City in
style. This story at once struck the boy s
fancy and he promptly turned over his
money to the stranger, who, instead OF
getting the pass according to agreement,
went into joint near by and filed NJ,
leaving the boy without pass. money or
friends. When Woods found Shellan he
found a man well filed with booze, but his
pockets were empty. He IS now in the
city cooler and MS case will probably be
called up today.
