Considerable alarm was caused at the
Wichita hospital yesterday over the escape
of Bessie Cooper who is insane.
Bessie was taken to the hospital day be-
fore yesterday Tor treatment, or perhaps
more to keep her in custody till her case
could be disposed of in the probate court.
She was apparently very quiet and re-
signed to her place, so much so that the
customary vigilance was relaxed yesterday
afternoon about 4 O'Clock. With that
faculty peculiar to the insane, she quietly
stole away when the eyes of the attend
ants Were turned from her and was not
missed for some time after her departure
The police were at once notified, and
they watched the river bank with great
caution, for Bessie seemed to be melan-
choly and the probability was that she
would commit suicide if she got a chance.
After wandering about for some hours
she finally turned up at her old place on
East Douglas avenue and found the door
locked and a chattel mortgage sale on it.
James Howard persuaded her to return
to the hospital with him and she
finally consented. When they arrived at
the hospital she failed to recognize the
building and objected TO go into it. but
she was finally persuaded to do SO. DIR.
the probate judge tomorrow, and she will
probably be sent TO the asylum.
Bessie Cooper has beenIknown for long
time in Wichita, particularly among the
police. She has kept for years house of
immortality on East Douglas avenue, and
the superstition was that she had accumu
lated good deal of money. Notwith-
standing this supposition she is broke
now. and with her mind hopelessly gone
her life is living illustration of the end
of nearly all such characters.
The tongue of gossip is wagging and it
is limited that some one has taken adj
vantage OF her weak mind to rob her.
This is merely rumor. but it is given for
what it Is worth. She has been signing
some papers, it is said, for some time and
these papers have conveyed properly.
Some parties who knew her in her gaiety
aud prosperity are talking of having the
matter Investigated.
That her mind has been very weak for
some time there Is no doubt. Christmas
night about two years ago she showed
some signs of insanity by taking a drug
with apparent suicidal intent. IL was at
ter wards claimed that she took only COM
mon soda. but that claim was probably
made by her friends for the sake OF letting
her down easy, as the saying goes.

LIGHTNING STRIKES TWICE.


Fridays wind storm furnished an ex-
ception to the adage, lightning never
strikes twice in the same place, for be-
tween and p. N. the residence of w. Z.
Cooley was struck by lightning in exactly
the same place AS it was four years ago.
The chimney was the objective point.
The lightning tore the chimney down to
the roof, followed the fue down, played
about the walls and ceilings of the room,
knocked the plaster off and the windows
out and threw Mr.. and Mrs. Cooley to the
floor. Fire was seen in the room but went
out of its own accord. Neighbors who
ran in to help. say there was a burnt smell
as Of powder.
No one was hurt but Mr. Cooley COM
planned yesterday morning of being sore
around the breast.
p Justice Tucker, who lives near, said
that the shock was SO great that his wife,
who was standing at the window when
the stroke came, was knocked down by
the conclusion.

CAR RUNS OVER A BOY.
Harry Solliday dangerously Hurt by a
Electric Motor.

Harry, the 9-year-old son of Frank Solli-
day, was run over by a street car on North
Main street yesterday and painfully hurt.
He, with another boy, were chasing each
other in the street between First and Sec
ond streets as the Paramount car was COM
ing from the south. 1t was soon seen that
the boy would go under the car, and
Motoneer Scully threw off the power and
put on the brakes, but could not stop the
car till it had passed over the boys leg.
1t was all done in flash. The boy had
presence of mind enough to endeavor to
get away and did succeed in saving one
leg by his sensible endeavors.
He cried and showed plainly how truly
painful the wound was. The skin was
split from the knee to the instep and the
flesh torn and maugled terribly. His
father was out of the city on the road, but
his uncle was summoned.
He was taken to his home on the West
Side and the wound dressed by Drs. Nc
Clees and Littlefield, and his grandfather,
DIR. Stitzel.
The wound Is a very serious one, but
will heal in time if the warm weather
does not work against the healing process.

HORSE ON JACKS.
Robert Was Visited by 4 Fiery Steed Yes
terday.

Yesterday an exciting runaway occurred
on North Main street. Ell Taylor drove
up in front of the Dagner block aud asked
Charlie Bennett and Harry Walsh to take
II spin around block or two behind what
he called model horse. The two young
men did so, and before the model horse
had Travelled twenty feet he ran away and
spilled both young men out on the rough
hard pavement OF the street Car track
The animal dashed up Main street at
fearful gait. and nothing would satisfy
him but to go into Robert Jacks store
The door was too narrow for the buggy to
pass through and the horse left it wedged
tightly there while he made dash into
the middle of the store, causing great
stampede among the clerks and customers.
Much as his hurry was he had sense
enough to duck his head while passing
under the front chandelier. He pranced
and reared around between five or six
large show cases, but strange as 1t may
appear there..was not single thing broken.

the legislature of 1891. which says that
legal notices in order TO become legal must
be published in newspaper which has
been published for fifty-two consecutive
weeks prior TO the first insertion in the

Poli learned last night that he has not yet even room enough to accommodate his patrons. Every seat was filled, even the boxes, and the aisles were crowded At least three hundred people waited outside for chance to gain adnittance. A highly excellent vaudeville perfor- nance Is presented this week. Foremost in the list of attractions Is the famous Joe Flynn, the man who wrote Mo- Ginty. AS comedian he has no equal, He has new song in which he brings Mac back from the bottom of the sea, and shows him the. living pictures. It convulses the audience, and from begin- ing to end roars of laughter ring throughout the theater. A most excel lent couple of entertainers is Hodges and Lauchmere, the greatest buck and wing dancers in the country. Marguerite Newton has some excellent catchy songs or the day that are destined to be Whistled and sung by the boys on the street before the. close of the week. Swan and Bambard are clever knock abouts, and the monoloEue entertain ment of James B. Radcliffe Is far above the average In addition to these there are the Marshs, Fiske and vinton. and Cain and Dubois, all excellent vaude. vile artists. '~
