Gets Charles Morrison Into the Police
Court Today
Charles Morrison, a man about So
years old, neatly dressed, stood before
Judge Ensminger this morning. He
was booked as a '|plain drunk" II am a
teacher" he said-'' 81 am a native of
Virginia, and have been organizing and
been sick and a doctor told me that /
must quit taking quinine but that 1
should take it with whisky. l did so,
and l was drunk, so 1 suppose l must
plead guilty. / haven't cent of money
and am a stranger in town, and beg the
mercy of the court"
Judge Ensminger was evidently i'm
pressed with the strangers manner, and
said, "you are discharged" Morrison
bowed and shook hands with the judge.
The quinine story, however, is not new
one in police court.

A MEXICAN WAR VETERAN.
Sudden Death of Capt. A j. Hutchinson
This Morning.

Sudden Death of Capt. A j. Hutchinson
This Morning.
Captain A. J. Hutchinson died this
morning very suddenly at his home, Ala
Van Buren, street, of heart failure. He
went to bed last evening seemingly in
the best of health. About 1 AS this
morning, however, his wife was awakened
by the captain gasping for breath. She
thought he was suffering from night
mare, and attempted to arouse him, but
he drew only few breaths and expired.
Medical aid was at once summoned bnt
all efforts to resuscitate him failed. 1t
was thought at first that he was in a
trance, as the body kept warm and moist
for two hours after death. Captain
Hutchinson was born in Gallipolis, Ohio.
May 8, 1925, which would make him SO
years of age Saturday. He enlisted in
the Mexican war in 1915 and fought until
1S4S when he received a wound in the
arm that necessitated its amputation.
He then engaged in running a line of
steamers from Pittsburg to New Orleans,
and continued in this business for 80
years. He came to Kansas March 29,
1882.
He has three children living, namely,
Morton A. Hutchinson. Silver Lake, Mrs.
r. Marley and Mrs. Nellie Williams, of
Fort Worth, Texas. His second wife
survives him. He was a man highly re-
spected.
The funeral will take place from the
residence, Ala Van Buren, street, tomor-
row at three o'clock. The remains will
be inferred in the Topeka cemetery.

SHOCKING AFFAIR.
Three Children Burned in a Gaso-
line Accident.
ONE OF THEM WILL SCARCELY LIYE.
The Home OF N w. Thompson the
Scene of the Horror

The Home OF N w Thompson the
Scene of the Horror
There was a disastrous fire in North
Topeka at $50 last night, in which three
little children were badly burned, and
one of them is not expected to live. Mr..
and Mrs. NJ. w. Thompson who live at
1923 North Madison street, went out last
evening leaving in the house their three
children, one a baby, girl years old,
and boy about 4 years old. They left
lamp with gasoline attachment on the
table.
How the accident happened nobody
but the children know and they are I'M
able to tell The lamp may have have
exploded, but the explanation generally
accepted is that one of the children pull
ed it off the table. At any rate the lamp
was broken and the burning oil went
over the children.
Their screams aroused the people who
live in the adjoining house, which is only
a few feet distant from the Thompson
dwelling. The baby's injuries and those
of the little boy were found to be con-
fined largely to the face, hands and
chest. Their injuries are painful but not
serious. The injuries of the little girl,
however, are such as to create grave
doubts of her recovery. Besides the
burns on her face more than a third OF
the surface of the unfortunate child's
body was badly burned.
DR.. Mrs. Swift, the attending physi-
clan, admits that the recovery of the girl
is exceedingly doubtful. She is being
given the best of medical care and made
as comfortable as the painful nature of
the injuries will allow.
The alarm of the fire was turned in
from box 10 at $3.50. The damage done
to the hOuse will not exceed SO.
