THE POOR MISSOURI PACIFIC.

Its Trains Grabbed by WeaIers and the
Company sued for Directing.
The following is from the Railway Age
and is to the point:
A band of several hundred Iawless
men stole an engine of the Denver 81
Rio Grande road and a number of cars
of the Missouri Pacific and went tearing
over the latter road several hundred
miles, stopping traffic, pulling up track,
and causing heavy expense to the COM
pany in the efforts to stop and capture it,
and was finally arrested in Kansas by a
large force of United States marshaIs
and taken to LeavenWOrth for trial.
Whereupon an alleged lawyer, hired to
defend the ''army" from the conse-
quences of it's outlawry, graveIy declared
that the warrants under which the men
were arrested were worthless, and that
every one of the men in custody had
good cause for action against the Mis-
souri, Pacific railway for false imprison-
ment UNLESS the railway company
comes to time" said this jurist, II will
institute suit against the road for $4,000
damages for every man and break the
back of the Missouri Pacific railway
company"
1t was added that this expounder of
law would demand that the railroad
company assist the army its way to
Washington, but as the Missouri Pacific
has not responded to this call nor even
apOlOglZed to the 'industriaIs' for stop
ping them it must be inferred that the
lawyer is proceeding to break the COM
pany's back; and $4,000 apiece for 416
citizens means So, 100000
On the other hand there is little com
fort for the Missouri Pacific in the state
ment that the United States marshal paid
the company $1O75 per head, or $4,472,
for carrying his 416 prisoners from the
point of arrest to Topeka Summing up,
the railroad company has been caused
loss and expense by the raid, and the
gOvernment-that is, the Iaw-abiding,
taxpaying people-have had to pay many
thousand dollars for the capture, trans
pOrtation and maintenance of these out
laws, while the latter have had free
nsportation from Colorado to the Mis-.
souri,, and are being boarded in idIeness
at public expense.

CRAZY ON COXEYISM.
r. G. Houston Sees Coxey Armies "March-
ing in the sky"

ing in the Sky.''
R. G. Houston, Rock Island section
foreman at Elmont, was this morning in
the probate court adjudged insane and
will be taken to the asylum as soon as
there is room for him in that institution.
Houston has been 'squeer" according
to the testimony of his wife for several
years and his neighbors say he has acted
strange for several months, although it
has only been within the last ten days
that he has become violently insane.
His insanity developed fully while he
was reading an account of General
Coxey's arrest in Washington. 1t was
during the noon hour and he was sitting
on the side of his hand car reading a
newspaper when he suddenly threw up
his hands and exclaimed: ''See them
coming, General Coxey and his army is
marching in the sky"
As he did not get any better his
friends thought it might do him good
to take him to church They ac-
cordingly took him to a revival meet
school house by Rev. II. B. CreeL The
meeting very quiet, but Houston be-
came excited, and imagined the people
In the school house were members of
Coxey's army. He said he was called to
lead an army in the interest of General
Coxey and the government at Washing
ton, must be overthrown with much
bloodshed. He said it was his duty to
kill the preacher, Rev. Mr.. CreeI, and
take command of the army himself.
In the probate court room this morn
ing he showed the jury seven pieces of
paper on which he had a lot of lines
drawn, and which he said were the plans
by which the government is to be over
thrown.
When the examination was concluded
he went to the open window, and look
ing up into the sky, began shouting "See
them coming There is General COxey
and his army"
He has a wife and four children, but
this morning he said his wife had died
and gone to heaven.

ANOTHER POUNDING MATCH
Only 600 Put Up Half Plunks at HamiI-


Somehow, although the Topeka dead
games are perfectly willing to do a
great deal of talking, they seem to be
short somewhere every time it becomes
necessary to put up half PUNK toward
the advancement of the art. AS a re-
suit of this undue timidity there was
very light crowd present at the boxing
soiree at Hamilton hall for the benefit of
Johnny Van Heest and Jack Lynch last
evening. Less than two hundred were
there and the entertainment was cut
short for reasons obvious
The main feature of the eVening-the
twelve-rOund bout that Van Heest was
billed for with the three local pugs, Brad
shaw, Finnie and Tucker-had to be cut
out by the reason of the failure of the
for punishment
1t was nearly $50 before the enter
tainment opened with a three-round set
to between a couple of young colOred
boys. Jack Lynch was master of cere-
monies and under his coaching the bout
was quite interesting. Two other col
ored boys were then trotted out for the
same kind of a performance and both
drew blood which was heartily appre-
ciated by the audience.
Billy Maxted Of Lawrence and "Tug"
Wilson of Oklahoma then met in three
rounds and did some very clever work.
Both are light weights Two more col
Ored boys were then let into the ring and
amused the crowd for three rounds.
Joe Fiederling of Kansas City and
George Ridley, middle wei hts. then
stepped into the ring and did some very
good work for three rounds. Both are
good boxers.
Loud applause greeted the champion
light weight of America, Johnny Van
Heest, as he stepped into the arena In
the absence of anybody else 'sTug" Will
son was again pressed into service and
allowed himself to be batted all over the
stage by the champion for the amuse-
ment of the audience. Tug is good
boxer himself, but he stood no show at
all with Van Heest, who hit a little
harder than was necessary at times.
The next TO meet Van Heest was Frank
Tucker of Topeka, who stepped lightly
behind the ropes with smile that some
how got away from him after the first
half of the first round. All this was
play for Van Heest. and his smile didn't
die as he made vicious lunges that just
missed, and that would have ruined parts
of the wall if they had landed. Tucker
was game. however, and stood the four
rounds manfully.
This closed the entertainment and
everybody went home satisfied

GANG OF BOY THIEVES
Discovered by the Police at No. 732 Kan
Avenue.

Discovered by the Police at No. 1872 Kan
Avenue.
The police discovered today that three
or four little bootblacks, whose faces are
familiar on the streets, have organized
for the purpose of committing small
thefts. Charley Spendlove was arrested
today for petty larceny and he told the
police that he was only one of a gang,
and named a one-eyed newsboy called
SPEEDY" and several others as his con-
federates. Spendlove stole an electric
bell and battery from Mrs. Mary ]. Short
who resides at Tenth and Quincy streets.
The boys appear to have fitted up
'Eroost" in the unoccupied basement at
1872 Kansas avenue. The police found a
satchel full of plumber there this after
noon. The other boys will be arrested.

TO SAVE THE FLOWER BEDS
Judge Ensmtnger Fines a Flower steaIsr
Ten Dollars.

Ten DoIlaE8.
Mrs. Anna Smith is muIatto woman
10 years old who has allowed her esthetic
love and admiration for the beautiful to
get the better of her discretion. In 9TH
er words she robbed her neighbor's gar
dens of their best flowers and for that
ofense she was III the police court to-
day.
Not only Mrs. Smith but her husband
A L. Smith, was charged with petty lar
ceny, but as there was no evidence
against him he was discharged
Mrs. George Beeton of 1921 Madison
street, was the complaining witness, and
she told how her garden had been rob-
plants, and she recognized those
found at Mrs. Smiths as the ones. These
flowers were on the judges desk for evil
dence. Officer Foote who took some
measurements said the footprints made
in the soft dirt at the garden correspond
ed exactly with Mrs. Smiths dainty feet
For the defense Mrs. Smith had two
colored women testify that they saw her
buy the flowers of man.
'sWhat kind of a looking man was
this?" suddenly asked Deputy City At
torney Hungate.
81 don't remember"
"Was he white or colored?"
81 think he was white"
"Was he fat or thinf"
81 amt sure but l think he was lit
tie, tall man; 1 mean big, slim mani
mean"
Never mind about that, tell US how
he was dressed
81 don't remem ber."
"Did he wear light or dark suit7"
81 can't be positive"
"Did he wear any at allf"
sob, yes"
eff he had worn plug hat would you
have noticed it?'
Il would if it had shined so it hurt my
eyes. What the eyes see the hearts
bound to believe, amt it?''
eve don't care anything about the
heart, we want to know about this mys-
terious stranger. How long did you look
at him?"
''Not more'n about three minutes"
"What did you go away for?"
''To put on my shoes"
sEWere you barefooted all this timer"
Eyes"
didn't your feet get cold?"
The cOlored girl turned up her nose
like the saucy thing she was, and the
witness was excused.
Judge Ensminger in imposing $40
fine on Mrs. Smith shanded down" a few
remarks on petty larceny in general and
this form of theft in particular. He said
that the flower beds of Topeka must be
protected and he in his official capacity
proposed to afford all the protection pos
sible. Mrs. Beeton got her flowers back.
The Junior DaItOns.
The only other cases were those of
Charley Spendlove, Charley Stenman
(alias Speedy Clarence Mcdowell and
Jimmie Bradford, who are 10. Is, 10 and
81 years old respectively. These boys
were charged with petty larceny and
they were fined So each. but the police
propose to get the boys into the reform
school if possible, and to this end their
cases will be turned over to the state.
The boys appear to have organized them
selves into a young Dalton gang for the
purpose of stealing any small articles
within their reach.

Their Way to Frisco.
A special train bearing about eighty
eastern physicians passed through To-
peka on the Santa Fe at 12:45 TODAY,

pect for the latter state. The doctors
