Frank B. Smith was down town last
night enjoying the pleasant evening at
mosphere. Mr.. Smith only recently re-
turned fran New York, where he had an
operation performed calculated to allay
the pains and discomforts of his nerve
troubles. IL was thought that the length
eping of the nerve in his arm would re-
suit favorabIy, but il has not and the
probability is that he will soon return to
New York, where he will have the nerve
cut. This seems to himself as we'll MS his
friends the best thing to do. As it is he
suffers fearfuly.

THAI TRAIN ROBBER.

| Yesterday morning Manuel Herrick, the
! boy train robber captured by Conductor
Glazier, passed through the city. He was
/ in charge of Sheriff Smith of Cleveland
county, Oklahoma. and was being taken
to the asylum at Jacksonville, where he
has been sent By the authorities instead of
TO the penitentiary. Herrick WAS shack
| led to the seat but was enjoying himself
conversing with passengers while the sher-
if ate his breakfast at the Santa Fe eat
ing house at Arkansas City. On the re-
turn of the sheriff to the Car he placed a
lunch on the seat beside Herrick and told
him to eat The lad wanted to wash his
hands aud the officer went to remove the
shackles so that he could walk, when he
was told by Herrick that they were al
ready off. On examining he found this TO
be the case. The lock had slipped
through link in the chain and
was of no use. Herrick said the
shackles cam7 off within five minutes
after they were put on; that he knew it
but did not care to attempt to escape.
He still thinks his escapade an honor TO
him. Sheriff Smith will guard his man
very closely since he had 10 shackles for
him. He said that just before he left
Guthrie with the boy that Hercick, Sr.,
visited in the jail. Alter the old man had
gone the boy was searched and two dyna-
mite cartridges were found on him
Whether the old man gave them to him or
not is not knOwa but the matter will be
investigated. When the reporter saw
Herrick he was holding spirited CONVEX
satlon with Congressman Dennis Flynn
Oh the best method OF train robbing and
Dennis seemed to take in all he said The
alleged lunatic was giving pointers to a
congressman, but that is not an unusual
thing here in Kansas during the past few
years as it is done every day when a con-
gress man is around

wears his hair rather longer than the or
binary man does. Mrs Pearson is sleu-
der little woman, aud will not weigh over
90 or 100 pounds. Her hair is fair, and
from her big, innocent blue eyes one

such mistake. Still, her physiognOmy
