Board OF Directors Organized Yesterday
Afternoon.

The directors OF the auditorium met last
evening in O'Bryan & Gordon's Office and
organized by the election of the following
gentlemen:
President-C. w. Biting.
Vice President-F. l.. Richter.
Secretary-Thomas G. Fifth.
Treasurer-Frank w. Oliver.
A committee to look up the matter of
site for the building was elected as fol-
fows: G. w. Biting, c. w. Carey, Jacob
Eckert, w. A. Smith, w. j. Wilson and
Thomas @. Fitch.
The committee decided that no site
would be selected until all the subscription
money is paid in. About half has been
paid in most cheerfully, but n few are re-
Iuctant to give until the building is COM
pleted which is quite unreasonable, as no
committee can afford to assume obliga-
tionS of such vastness on their own
responsibility. 1t is pleasing to note, how
ever, that those people are few. The ma
jority put up their money like little men
and not only do that, but with true Wichi-
ta spirit say that they will give more if
necessary. OF course every dollar viii be
spent To the best advantage and everybody
knows it that know the members of the
organization. IL the auditorium Is not
built every subscriber will be handed back
his money intact as, in case of failure, the
directors will pay the incidental expenses
themselves. Such men as Tom Fitch,
Charlie Biting, Fred Richter and Frank
Oliver are good for fifty times the amount
of the cost of the auditorium ana they are
not the kind of men who would squander
money or use it injudiciously in the erec-
tion of building
The collection of the subscriptions is ur-
gent for only two months remain till the
travelling mems convention is held here
and it is only proper to have the audito-
rum open for them in view of the fact
that they are the people who gave the
movement its first boost and subscr ibed
heavily towards IL.

RETURNS FROM A SAD JOURNEY,
After Rurying His Son Father Tells the Sad
Story OF Bis SON Suicide and Killing OF
His Wife.

E. E. Skaats, who left last Monday for
the scene of the suicide of his sou, Marion,
at Alton, ILL.,, has returned after burying
his son. The old gentleman is rather
feeble IN health and the trip has been hard
OH him. He says, however. that the people
everywhere treated him with the utmost
kindness.
He found the true state of the case to be
this: For some time there had been con-
tention in the family. which arose from
this, his second wife leaving every Sunday
for st. Louis and not telling where she
went. Last Sunday Marion decided TO
follow her. When the train stopped at a
small station near Alton Mrs. Skaats aud
her daugeter and q strange man got off.
he absconded. He then stepped up to his
wife aud said, ''eXplain your actions"
This is no time nor place to explain, we
will settle this later" said she.
I'VE will settle it right now" said the
husband. with which he drew his revolver
and shot the woman who bore his name
through the head. turned aud shot him
self in the ear. They both died.
The son brought two OF his children
home to Wichita last December, and
while here joined the Baptist church. His
wife wrote for him to return, which ne re-
luctantly did. He tried to join the church
there but Gid not, owing to the clamoring
OF his wife and her daughters
Marion's son was not allowed to stay
with his father owing to family disturb
ances, but had TO board with another
family, Mr.. Skaats brought his grandson
along back to Wichita vii h him.

Court.

Arthur Haacher is on trial and the out
come is watched with more than usual
interest by those who remember the de-
tails of the famous express robbery.
When tine court opened yesterday morn
ing the case OF the state against Hancher
was called. "The state is ready" said
County Attorney Willard Boone. "We
are ready" said Attorney Henderson of
Winfield who has charge Of the defense.
When Hancher was brought into court
he looked serene and did not seem to
dread the result of trial which may cause
him to work ten years under ground in
the coal mines of Lansing. He took his
chair behind his attorney, while at his
left hand SAT venerable old gentleman
with hair and whiskers as white as snow.
This old man Watched all the proceedings
with great interest. He was Hancher's 9
grandfather and the man who raised him
from infancy.
The defense stated that Hancher would
enter no plea of either guilty or not guilty
whereupon Judge Reed exercised his pre-
rogatiye by entering for him plea of mot
guilty"
The matter of selecting jury was then
commenced and lasted all day, for so
many read the papers at the time the rob-
There is considerable speculation as to
what defense Mr.. Henderson will make
for his client. Hancher has admitted so
many times, even in the court in which
he is on trial. that he committed the rob-
berry, that people are at a loss TO be able
to ascertain what hope be has of
escaping conviction. When first
arrested he made statement
admitting that he was in the conspiracy to
rob the express wagon, and subsequently,
In the trials of Doc Snap, Howard Greer,
on every occasion. This was an indica-
tion that he would plead guilty in the
hope OF a comparatively light sentence,
aud when he did not plead guilty yester-
day morning some of the people in court
circles, Including lawyers. were somewhat
surprised.
On the Goth of June, 1898, the robbery
for which Hancher is on trial was commit
ted. He had charge of the wagon that
took the express matter of the
company to the depots. Previously,
with others, he had arranged to rob the
express wagon. by having it held up by
his pals, when there would be sufficient
money on it to pay for such an undertake
ing. On the night in question one of the
pals telephOned the express company to
send a wagon around to the creamery for
some stuff that was TO go out on the Rock
Island. When the wagon drove into the
alley in rear of the creamery kittrell held
uD the driver and secured a package con-
tanning S7605.

placed on the docket of the District Court.
The first is for division of the Helm
family and the second has for its aim the
distinction of the johnson household.
Josephine Helm petitions the court for a
divorce from Peter Helm. whom she ac-
cuses of cruelty of the grossest kind. She
alleges that Peter has beaten her at six
different times, of which she can give the
exact date and at numerous other times OF
which she cannot give the exact date. She
states that he Is worth S3.OO and more
and asks the court for Sl,0J0 alImony.
They have been married four years

Mrs. Helm was OF nervous temperament

That ne struck her in the face with his
fist: that he abandoned her with the prom

doped. She asks that she be permitted To
keep her own property. which consists OF
