TWO MIDNIGHT ALARMS

At midnight last night a alarm OF FIRE
called the department to the corner of Ida
avenue and Prince street where the two
story residence of Oscar Hills was found
! to be in flames. The fire caught from a
defective 6ue in the second story aud the
first Mir. Hills knew of it was when the
pla STEERING began falling from the ceiling
into the bedroom where be was sleeping
The whole upper portion of the house was
then on fire and the family barely had
time to escape. A part of their cloth
ing and few articles from the kitchen
was everything that was saved.
The wind that prevailed yesterday
and last night was blowing a gale
| carrying large pieces of burning timber
| across the street into the next block ana
making the fire a hard one TO fight. Add
ed TO this was the fact that the nearest
plug was near the Rock Island track over
1909 feet distant so that but one line of
hose could be Carried TO it. The house
was all burned down to the second story
| and that is left only shell and of but
little value. The contents are total loss.
Mr. Hill had only recently moved into the
| house. Ii belonged TO mortgage COM
pany and was insured Ii WAS not learned
whether or not there was any insurance on
the contents.
The fire was we'll under control
| and the chief had just remarked to the re-
porter that he could have knocked il out
sooner with another stream on. but that
ne did not want to put all the hose out at
one time on such windy night, when
another alarm was sounded, 10 which No.
I, the hook and ladder and the chemical
responded, leaving No. , TO finish this one.
The second alarm was turned in from
the Wichita Wholesale Grocer company 5

no damage was done Both fires attracted

| l have seen of your better nature / will
| sentence you to only two years in the Kan
sas penltentiary and to pay fine OF ten
dollars" The Judge then turned to the
| United States marshal and said: "Mr.
marsal, you will keep Anton Caha for two
months in the Jail of Sedgwlck county
and when the time comes when his de-
voted wife is taken sick. take him to her
bedside where lie is to remain until she is
confined and her sickness is over, after
which you will convey him to
the Kansas penitentiary to serve his
| sentence. This act of tenderness
reached the heart'' of Caha and he burst
| into tears.
L. d. Halstead and Charles Reece, con-
victed of perjury, were also sentenced to
serve one year and one day in the Kansas
/ penItentiary.
The next man sentenced was Ed. Pitkin,
a full blood Indian, who was convicted Of
| the murder of Levi Green in the Cherokee
strip. seven years ago. PItkin was asked
what he had to say why sentence Of death
should not be pronounced upon him and
all he said was that he did not get justice.
| The judge then reviewed the case and
warned him to prepare his soul for death
| as he could see no reason why the SEN
tence of the court will not be carried out.
He told him that ministers OF whatever
faith he professed or the faith Of his an
| cestors would be allowed TO see and pre-
pare him for death and he urged him 10
| make peace with his God. In this instance
the judges remarks were very pathetic
and impressive. He then sentenced him
to be confined in the Jail Of Sedgwlck
county until Friday, June and That on
that day, between 10 and 2 o'clock, he
shall be taken by the marshal and hanged
by the neck till he is dead. Pitkins lis
tened attentiveiy to the sentence and then
went to his seat. When he gained his seat
he wept and was the subject of general
compassion, for he is ignorant aud probs-
bly, did not fully comprehend the serious
ness of the situation in which he is placed,
having no friends about him or none of
his ia e to comfort his last days.
The proceedings wound up with tn SEN
tence of Simeon Whitehead of this city
for counterfeiting. He was given five
years in the penitentiary. He harangued
the court until four stalwart deputy mar
shals had to take him from the building.
Whitehead pretends to be insane, but
AS the judge said, there is method
in his madness" He is either insane or
else one of the greatest scoundrels that
ever lived in Wichita The general opin-
ion is that be is the latter, as some terri
BILE hard stories are told OF him. He was
probably the only ono sentenced that the
audience did not sympathiZe with.

case was given to the jury. They deliber-
