A DREADFUL AFFAIR.
An Elevator Boy Meets a Frightfu1
Death.
LITTLE WILLIE RAIN THE VICTIM
a Sad and Distressing Accident An the
Masonic Building.

Masonic Building.
Will Rain, aged IA years, the elevator
boy at the Masonic building at 1928
jackson street, met with awful death
last evening At 6:3J o'clock. He had
started the elevator upwards from the
basement and attempted TO jump IN
afterwards He only got in partly. how
ever, and the body Of the unfortunate
boy Was caught between the floor Of the
elevator and the second landing. Life
was crushed out before assistance could
reach him.
There is some doubt as to the exact
cause Of the accident. Rain may have
slipped on entering the elevator, but the
boys father thinks the fault may have
been wlthNhe elevator. The mn who
probably knows as much about the acci-
dent as anyone is James Phillips, wi no had
stopped at the building to deliver some
mineral water. The Rain boy asked for a
drink aud had gone to the basement in
the elevator to get a cup. The boy
was SO long in returning that Phillips
looked down the elevator shaft and saw
the head and arms Of the unfortunate
lad on the floor of the elevator. Phillips
gave an alarm and James Wetherell and
Chas. johnson were among the first to ar
rive. As all the doors to the elevator shaft
lock automatically from the inside it was
impossible 10 reach the boy until an axe
was secured with which the wire door
open.
This delay consumed about ten min
utes. Dir. johnson was the first 10 enter
the elevator and found the vicLim already
dead Ono knee, both arms aud the
head and shoulders or Rain were in the
elevator. The pressure had been brought
diagOnally across the chest and his death
was due TO stranguIation and the stop
ping of the hearts action. The body
was subject to the full pressure Of the
hydraulic engine in the basement; and
strange as it may seem not bone WAS
broken.
The body was removed to nj. E. Stoker's
undertaking establishment in the patrol
wagon.
Coroner Bailey held an inquest this
morning. Attorneys were present repre-
senting w m. Rain, the father of the boy.
and the LON bard Investment company

dozen witnesses were examined and told
what they knew of the accident J. B.

Il have been there for six years and

Did He Bring a Five Hundred Dollar

Editor Ed p. Greer of the Winfield
Courier, who has since the Repu blican
safe convention been devoting his en-
tire time to his newspaper, is in Topeka
to consult with Chairman Leland of the
state central committee relative to the
campaign in that part az the state.
Mr.. Greer says the people in his county
are as much interested in the weather as
anything else just now.
Rainmaker Matthews of Wichita re-
Gently operated in CowIey county and
agreed to bring rain in five days for $500.
He worked for five days and made
plenty of clouds. but the rain did not
come. However, he had only been gone
five hours when it began raining and
did not stop until over two inches of
water had fallen, one of the best rains
the county ever had, Many people think
the rainmaker should be given credit for
the rain, and although he lost the $500 a
purse is being raised for him.
Mr.. Greer says a scheme is in contem-
plation TO thoroughly test the rainmaking
business ia that county They propose
to have the county commissioners max
a special tax levy for rainmaking. There
is no law for such a levy but all tax
payers, it is said. would willingly pay the
small tax to test the business A rain
maker will then be employed who will
commence in the early spring and work
all summer and if he produces enough
rain to give them good crops. the rain
maker will be given permanent employ
