HORSE DISAPPEARED.

On Thursday as Doc Lewis was driving
away from Il residence on Avenue a,
where he had been repairing a chimney
his horse, which was attached TO his spring
wagon, suddenly sank out of sight. He
called the assistance of several neig hbors
and they assisted him in digging the ami
NAL from its living grave. The entire
night was spent III trying 70 eXtricate the
animal, and 1t was not released, until yes
terday morning at about IL o'clock. It
appears that cess pool had been built by
the former owners of the property, which
was used as a drainage of the premises.
This had become filed end the fence
around it was destroyed, leaving nothing
to indicate its existence. When Mr.. Lewis
attempted to cross this plat of ground the
weight of the horse caused him TO sink out
of sight. Strange as it may appear, the
animal was still living when extricated, al
though his nose was beneath the surface.
IL is thought the horse received air through
the connecting sewer pipes. The animal
was the only one owned by Mr.. Lewis, and
its death would have been severe blow
to him, as he is poor man. The horse
was badly bruised and very sore. but it is
believed 1t will recover. The cess pool
was formed by sinking two large hogs
heads into the ground.

ROBBERS AT WORK
WICHITA FULL OF ALL GLASSES
OF THIEVES
Many Places Broken Open and Money
and Goods Taken Away-Three
Burglaries III the Center Of the
City-Wheu Police Department is
Out of Politics Thin IS May Change
Tie city is fnu of thieves.

lie CITY Is luli OF tOiSNce.
Night before last the office of the Kan
sas and Texas Coal company was entered
by burglars and every effort MADE TO
secure any money that was IN 1t. All the
evidence showed that the burglars were
professional. The same night a store was
broken into on North Main street aud SD
In meney stolen.
On the same night a door was forced
open On West Douglas avenue but nothin &
in the building was disturbed. It is
thought that the thieves were frightened
away before they could accomplish their
work. The strangssJ part OF IL Is that
these three robheriss and attempted rob-
berries occurred In the center OF the city
and on the regular beats OF policemen. On
that night also the team of ;. Ed Moore
was stolen hus it was found last night.
The parties who stole the team left it in a
stable on Williams street to be called for
about 10 o'clock at night, but
the proprietor suspected that
there was something wrong and closed the
stable before that hour in hope of COM
peling them to appear in the morning so
that he could recognize them. They sus-
pected the trap and did not call and as a
result Mr.. Moore has recovered bis team.
Several other smaller robberies were re-
ported. That the city Is full OF robbers,
thieves, fooipads ana vagabonds gener-
ally there is no doubt, and people should
be very watchful from now till after cleo
ton, when the police department will
probably go out of politics and attend to
business again.

MYRTLE Is SAVED.
Good Sisters OF Rescue Home Have Her Now
in Their Charge.

Myrtle Huls, the girl whose story was
told in last Wednesdays paper, seems to
have been restored to grace again through
the kindness of the good ladies of the Wo-
mans Christian Temperance union and
Woman's Relief corps who, in turn, placed
her in charge of the ladies of the Rescue
Home, one of the best institutions in the
city. On the morning of the 18th the
young girl became converted through the
devout effort of these ladies and she is now
reported very happy over her narrow
escape from the dark and fuIureless life of
shame. She Is at present industriously
plying the needle making clothes for her
self from clothing donated by other good
ladies. The ladies of the home are sisters
Newberry, Lee and Drane.
This rescue home is net yet thoroughly
started but 1t should be encouraged at once
and put upon permanent basis. There
are scores of penitent women in this city
who woald be only too glad 10 leave the
life they are now leading had they the on
portunity and a place to which they could

hand, voice and prayer in their behalf, but
thus far no place exists within the confines
of Wichita where the penitent one can be
given chance 30 forsake sin and its en-
vironments, and with chsste surroundings
start anew the life before chem.
Sunday afternoon at 3 O'clock a meeting
will be held in the Salvation Army ball at
2l7 East Douglas avenue, in the interest of
putting the rescue home on a permanent
basis. Those who are interested in this
noble work should attend and give their
moral and financial aid
