SHOT IN THE BACK.
The President Of Defunct Bank Shot by
Wrath Creditor.

Yesterday morning w. r. Warren OF
Emporia, formerly the president of de-
funct bank at Mulvane, in which several
creditors lost considerable money, was shot
in the back at Wellington and seriously if
not fatally wounded. The following ac-
count of the affair was kindly furnished
the EAGLE by Fred Bohanna, editor of the
Wellington Daily Mail, who is in posi-
ton to know all the facts. He says:
IAN unsuccessful attempt was made
this morning to kill w. r. Warren Of
Mulvane bank failure notoriety. Mr.
Warren and his attorney, l. E. Lambert,
came down from Emporia a day or two
ago, and about $50 o'clock this morning
as the two men were walking toward the
court house, they were attacked from the
rear by man named John Timm, who
quietly drew a revolver from his pocket
and shot Mr.. Warren in the back. Before
he could fire another shot, if such was his
intention, Warren covered him with re-
vover which he was carrying and COM
PEELED Timm to point his weapon toward
the ground. w. 5. Nelson and 4. L.
Davidson, who were witnesses of the
affair, quickly approached the scene, and
after a few minutes parleying secured
possession of both reyolvers. Timm was
taken to Jail by Mr.. Davidson, while Mr..
of DR.. Freeman, who probed for the ball.
The injured man was later removed to his
room at the Arlington, and is at present
resting quite easy. All efforts to recover
the ball nave as yet proved futile, and rs
Mr.. Warren has expressed desire to be
home, he will be taken to Emporia this
evening. Tomorrow morning he will be
placed under the influence of chloroform
and further search for the ball will be
made.
The attempted killing is the outgrowth
of large amount of money which Timm
lost in the wreck of the Muivane bank
some months ago. Ever since his loss he
has repeatedly threatened to kill Warren,
and appeared disappointed after his at

meditated plans had failed Timm was
released from Jail few weeks ago, having
been confined there for threatening the life
of the wounded man"

COMMENCED BUSINESS.

Yesterday morning the Sedwick County
bank opened its doors at 143 North Main
street and commenced business with a
cash capital of $4,000. The bank was to
have been opened for business week ago.
but on account of pressing business the
state bank examiners could not get around
aud it was impossible to start without
them. Friday afternoon both Mr. John
son and Mr.. Showalter, state and deputy
state bank examiners, arrived, and all
being well and in good shape the bank
was declared ready to launch forth into
the financial world. That it will succeed
there is no doubt whatever, for it is not
only backed by responsible men of wealth
and good standing, but its affairs will De
more directly managed by two
very competent gentlemen who have the
entire confidence of this community,
These gentlemen are Coer L. Sims and
Charles 81. Pool who are vice president
and cashier, respectively, of the institu-
ton. Both are known either personally
or by reputation to every bank patron in
Wichita, and no two men stand any
higher as financiers and business men
than they do. They are courteous and
polite and above all they are careful and
conservative, two very strong virtues in
bankers

twenty-five objects had mysteriously aug
mented into twenty-five on his paper so
by careful investigation it Was found that
only eight of these were original, two of
which he wrote down three times and the
rest he copied secretly from little girl
who was sitting with her back to him,
consequently his paper was then declared
fraud and illegal. so the prize was right
ly given to Mrs. Bash who had remember
ed nineteeen, which was large quote.
This prize was large beautiful folding
photo frame. which she duly deserved.
When it come to deciding about the
BOBBY prize it apparently fell on Mr..
Rutan but as he was one of the judges, he
very modestly withdrew from the contest
in favor Of Mr.. /. Humble, 30 whom the
prize was granted, though it really be-
louged TO Mr.. Eyde but as he had been
able to distem so many different porcu-
pine quilts which he took for toothpicks,
he was relieved of the grave responsibility
Of carrying off the treasured prize which
consisted of pair of glasses. Mr.. Humble
gladly carried them home to perpetuate
in his memory the kindness shown to him
by Mr.. Rutan. After this interesting
game was ended Mrs. Hutchings
introduced another source of amuse-
ment which consisted of a
splendid repast which was also well re-
ceived and enjoyed by all. To say the
whole affair was splendid is expressing it
modesrly indeed, and the favorable COM
ments expressed by all attest the merits of
Mr.. and Mrs. Hutchings' ability to receive
and entertain. This Is the third social of
the season. The other two were held at
Mr.. Coen's aud Mr.. Rutsn's, both of
which were also very pleasant and sue
cessful.
The next meeting of the club will be in
their own rooms about the first of June.
where an operetta will be given, which
also promises to he fine affair, as is char
acteristic of all S &. b. club meetings

About one hundred friends Of Henry
Schnitzler combined on last Tuesday aft
ernoon with the object of surprising that
gentleman in great style and it can be
safely stated that their efforts were crown
ed with great success. The occasion was
Henry Schnitzler's 9th birthday and it
was truly celebrated in fine style. 1t was
a genuine surprise and the many little
surprises which popped up during the
evening were very pleasant. Mr.. Sehnitz
Ter was taken wholly by surprise and he
frankly admitted it. Dnring the evening
Mr.. Otto Eckstein made q very pretty pre-
sentation speech after which he presented
him, in the name of the guests, with a
very beautiful rocking chair. Mr..
Schnitzler was the recipient of other very
hanesome presents. among them being
diamond ring from his wife. Dancing,
games and refreshments made the hours
fit quickly by and all wished him many
more years of health and happiness. 1t

THE WRONG MAN.
Kingnsher Robbers Tackle Fritz Schnitzler to
Their Everlasting Sorrow.

Ex.Councilman Fritz Schnitzler is home
again safe and sound after thrilling
visit to Kingfsher last Thursday, during
which he came within an ace of being
robbed. He and George Bennett, the
plumber, were together in that city, bu t
of course did not always remain together.
In the afternoon George began inquiring
around town for Fritz and Fritz for
George. They both fell into the hands of
thieves in the following manner A polite
gentleman inquired of Mr.. Bennett
whether he desired to see Schnitzler, and
upon being answered in the affirmative,
he was led up stairs and upon entering a
room the door was shut behind him and
he was sprung upon by gang of thieves.
Immediately another agent of the dark
latern outfit arrived in the room with Mr..
Schnitzler, who he had entrapped in
the same manner. The gang of rob-
bers amounted to six and they
politely requested the two Wichita
gentlement TO disgorge their valuables and
finances. When Mr.. SchnitzIer realized
the character of the gang in whose COM
pany he was he demanded of them to be
permitted to depart, cautioning them at
buO SdLuo ClIuc UueTt was COQSlueTdDt0 Oh
the elements of circular saw about him
when he turned himself loose. They
laughed at him and he could not hold in
any longer but turned his arms loose, and
the way the thieves fell about him was
caution. All six of them felt the weight
of his good right arm, and each yielded to
it as readily as if it was trip hammer
He then threw his weight against the
locked door with such force that the en-
tire partition gave way, and he and George
Bennett escaped to the street with all their
cash and valuables. Their first impulse
was to have the outfit pulled and prose
cuted, but in order to do this they would
be compelled to remain a few days in the
territory, and this they could not do as
they had to get back to Wichita that
night.
The same gang robbed a gentleman
named White of SIS on the same day in
the same manner. Mr.. White was at the
Carey last night and described the scene
to an EAGLE reporter in very graphic
manner.

HERCULES, THE IRON HORSE.
Ringing Bros. Highway Locomotive Drawing
Section of the Parade.

A mammoth highway locomotive, that
darts hither and thither through the
streets, running as easily on the toughest
road as the finest passenger engine glides
along its tracks of steel, is one OF the
striking features of the gorgeous street
procession that precedes the exhibition of
the Ringing Brothers Worlds Greatest
Shows, which will be seen at Wichita,
Saturday, May 81. This remarkable me-
chanical wonder is utilized to draw one of
the many sections of the all-feature street
parade that has invariably proved so popu-
lar feature with this great tented expo
sition. Its colossal weight and tremendous
power has caused it to be fittingly named
Hercules" and nothing more awe
inspiring than this mammoth engine in
motion conld be imagined. Under the
skillful hand of its engineer it moves and
breathes like living thing. responding to
the master-touch with the quickness of
human thought and the precision of a cul-
tivated intelligence. AS it moves, its
great steam-pipe organ thunders out ring
ing melodies that can be heard miles and
miles away, proclaiming to all that the
great procession is actually in motion, and
that Ringing Day is at last iuaugurated.
Nothing SO impressive as Hercules" has
eyer before been exhibited free upon the
streets of any city, and nowhere save with
the Ringing Brothers circus can it be
seen.
