ENGINEER HELD UP
HIGHWAYMEN FIND HIM WITH A
BIG ROLL OF BILLS.
Two Revolvers Placed Under His
Nose and he was Compelled to Shell
Out Over Eight Hundred Dollars
Was Afraid of Banks and Cashed in
at Caldwell.

Henry Balling was held up by high
waymen at o'clock last night and rob-
bed of $500.
1t was bold robbry and one that was
apparently well planned and executed.
Mr.. Balling is an engineer and lives
at 721 South Topeka avenue. He runs
between this city and Caldwell, going
down in the morning and returning at
night.
Mr.. Balling lost acme money in a
bank that failed here some time ago
and has ever since been cautious
about keeping money in banks. Yes
day he had $500 in his pocket when he
started ON his run and also a check in
q bank at Newton for $500. Previous to
starting out he bought a copy Of the
Eagle and read in ii a short account Of
few bank failures in the east.
This alarmed him and fearing q repe-
tition of the failures of two years ago
he concluded to get the check cashed
upon arriving at Caldwell The more
he bought over the matter the more
determined he became TO convert the
bank paper into cab. Upon arriving at
Caldwell he went to one of the banks
and cashed the check. When he re-
ceiyed the money he noticed a man
asked the banker who he was. The
banker made some satisfactory reply
and after that Balling was concerned
no further about him.
At o'clock last night he arrived in
Wichita and Immediately put his en-
CINE in the round house and started
across lots for home. He walkd down
a pathway and when about Fourth
avenue a man called after him and
asked him for a quarter. While they
were parleying over it two more men
jumped out of a thicket or hedge and
while one of them thrust two revolv-
ers in his face the other two men went
through his clothes and took the $500
away from him and disappeared.
He Immediately ran up town and no.
titled the police, but he was so excited
that he could not give them any de-
scription whatever Of the robbers. The
police, however, commenced on the
case, but they are not making much
Roadway, as they have no clew to go
on. Their theory is that the robbers
followed the engineer from Caldwell.
perhaps they came on his train and
while he was putting away his engine.
found the ambush from which they
operated.

Thomas Harper Dead.

Thomas Harper died yesterday morning
of consumption, after.an illness of over a
year. When he was tried in the Ward l
election cases, he was in poor health and the
worry of the trial aggravated his illness.
After the disagreement of'the jury, he was
required to give bail for his appearance at
the January term last and he soon after
took his bed. 1t shortly became evident that
his illness would prove fatal and he was
notified that the case against him had been
dropped. That cheered him for awhile but
he continued to fail. He had a father,
mother and two sisters.
