Terrific pounding on the iron door OF the
city prison and loud calling on the part
of the prisoners, brought Night Clerk
Frank Davis jumping to that portion Of
the city building late last night The first
thing to meet his eyes was the body of a
man registered in the books as Frisco,
dangling by his neck from the top Of an
iron cell.
Frisco is a German farmer who lives
northwest of the city. He was thrown in
early in the evening on the charge of be-
ing drunk. He had not only been drink
ing, but had also taken morphine, and
was in a bad condition. 1t was for this
reason that he was locked in cell by him.
self.
At first he remained rather quiet and all
seemed going we'll, but he soon got rest
less, took the blanket which Is in each cell,
fastened it TO the iron bars at the top and
then around his neck. This Gone he threw
himself down from his couch.
The prisoners could not reach him a.
the cell was locked, but with visions Of
tsrrors running through their imagina-
lions they hammered and yelled with Q
vengeance.
When the clerk arrived he was kicking
and jerking in truly exciting manner.
and when he was loosened and
he tried TO perform the operation
with a red bandana handkerchief, but
when this was also forced away he sank In
despair.
1t is not an exceedingly unusual thing
for men to try to kill themselves One
young man this winter attempted to cut
his throat with a broken bottle. He had
been brought in drunk and with his lip
cut through. Despair seems to seize these
kind of men as soon as the doors CRATE and
the locks clank.
Frisco" was sobered later on and re-
leased and started on his way home. He
had become sober and the effects of the
morphine had passed of. When asked
why he attempted to kill himself, he
answered In broken English:
81 was shust SO mad at being put in
there that I thought kills myself"
What kind Of whisky did you drink"
II shust drank one glass of beer but it
was three powders of morphine what
took that made me crazy"
It Was doubtless the morphine that
made him so bad. but when brought in
from West Douglas avenue by Officer
kensler, he presented all the appearance
of a dead drunk.

ROLLED A DRUNK.
Big Temptation to search Drunken Prisone Is
for Hidden Lucre.

Ell Manning. known in the city as
Jimmy Martin or Cheyenne Red" has
now fallen into trouble which will very
likely send him to the penitentiary. He was
one OF the witnesses which Chief of Police
Cone used in convictinR Rogers, the Har-
vey county record burner. He spent most
of the winter here under the protection of
the police.
When the trial was over be left this city,
but about n week ago again made his APP
pesrance and was run in on the charge of
drunk and lettering.
He was told that he would be released
if he promised to leave the city, but re-
fused to promise till yesterday morning.
when he promised to go. He was then
turned out. but IN short time was wanted
at the station very badly.
The trouble was over Jim Hennessy, q
drunk turned in the night before, who
claimed that he was robbed of over $50
which he carried in q sack sewn to his
underwear.
Manning was recaptured and over $50
found on his person. This he claimed had
been given him. while in reality the police
claim that they found other parties to
whom he gave money.
Last week there was a drunk thrown
into prison who carried SIS in his stocking
and Manning watched him fetch it out
when he handed it over to the authorities.
This would no doubt cause n less watchful
man to tank that there might be money
on other DRINKS Cheyenne Red has a
fine eye and clear head and would have
made a success at u better business.

SHOT AT PUPILS.
Unknown Man Mikes Bullet Sing Over the
Heads OF Schoolgirls

District School No. 164 was thrown into
wild excitement yesterday by an unknown
man shooting through the wi ndow at
some of the older girls.
The school is taught by Miss Nettie
Slayden and has an attendance of about
twenty five students. 1t is situated about
four miles east of the city on Kellogg
Street section line.
The stranger was a young man with a
broad brimmed hat and rode from the
north to the school house where he fired
upon the school. The ball passed just
above the heads Of three girls and buried
itself in the opposite wall He then rode
at full speed to the south.
A party of farmers was formed and soon
found his trail which they followed ten or
fifteen miles to the southeast. Whether
done with the intent to kill any special
girl. or out of pure wantonness, no one has
been able to fluid out, but the watch is still
out for the man and if found the farmers
promise short work.

SOUTH CAROLINA IN KANSAS.
A Charleston Man Ills What He Saw In
Wichita.

Major A. W. Marshall who was a dele
gate to the grain convention from Charles
ton, upon his return home submitted to
an interview for the Courier. After tell
ing what the convention did, of its princi-
pal speeches, what bright light the
Charleston delegation proved and of their
city's advantages as q grain export port,
the mayor delivers himself on Wichita,
prohibition and woman suffrage as fol-
lows:
1.-THE delegates were driven through the
principal streets OF Wichita. (Which Is pro-
nounced Witchitaw), it being the name of
one of the Indian tribes who formerly
occupied Kansas. Wichita is a city Of
about q, 900 inhabitants, beautifully laid
out in straight, broad streets. many of
them covered with asphalt and Belgian
blocks. The residence streets have ave-
nues of cottonwood trees. As rule trees
are scarce in Kansas. except along the
rivers, and the city council twenty years
ago passed al ordinance compelling the
citizens to plant trees in front OF their
lots.
Prohibition" said Major Marshall to a
reporter yesterday. sis the law. but the
officers recognize the fact that in cities at
least liquor will be had for certain pur-
poses, SO they allow all the liquor sold
that Is needed provided that the barkeeper
will have his bar in the rear of drug or
tobacco store, aud furthermore provided
that he pays a tine to the city of $50 a
month. The wisdom there is in this is
the infring@r of the law is punished, the
city gets $500 apiece from the offenders for
school purposes and the citizens get all
the liquor they want"
''Do the women vote? Yesl but only for
the school board and municipal officers.
and as they use in Kansas the Australian
ballot. which requires everyone to make
up his ballot in a separate compartment
or tent no crowding or unplessantness
need ever occur at the polls. There are
many opponents to woman suffrage, how
ever. in Kansas. The buildings, private
and public are very handsome, and the
business streets ara closely built up with
fine blocks of stores. The sidewalks on
some of the streets are of concrete octa-
gonal blocks of different color, which
make fine show"
The congress closed late on the evening
of the 18th of April, and the Charleston
delegation spent their first aud only night
at a hotel, (tbe others having been spent
on sleeping cars.) and they left Wichita at
$50 p. m.., of the 18th instant.
