THE WICHITA ROBBERY.

Reason to Think the Gang Planned to
Rob County Treasurer Doran.
WICHITA, Kan. Aug. AFTER two
full days of hard work y clew has been
found that may eventually lead to the
identity of the men who robbed the
Pacific express wagon in the heart OF

was furnished by County Treasurer
John A. Doran.
At o'clock every afternoon the
treasurer puts the receipts tor the day
into shot sack and takes it to the
bank He usually walks the entire
distance, which is four blocks. Satur-
day afternoon, while making up his
cash, he noticed an unknown
man lurking in the corridors OF
the building and apparently watch
ing him. but he paid no attention
to it at the time When Mr..
Doran LETT the building the suspicious
character appeared on the front steps
of the courthouse and nodded to man
across the street The latter unhitched
"a horse and buggy and drove south q
distance of half block, when he over
took Mr.. Doran and, addressing him
familiarly as Johnnie, invited him tC
ride down town with him
Mr. Doran knows nearly everybody
in this county, and the fact that an alb
solute stranger addressed him so fami-
liarly aroused his suspicious The
stranger further pressed him to ride
with him, but DOran cut him off with
a curt answer and just then stopped 4
street car and rode down town in 1t.
1t was undoubtedly planned to get
Doran into the buggy. drive down a
side street into the Missouri Pacific
wards and rob him. He had in his pos
session at the time &c. roo. Doran gave
a good description of the man and the
sheriff's end OF the official force is look
ing him up and are almost sure that
the same man robbed the express wagon.
