HE PULLED HIS LEG.
a Burglar Gets Csueht in a window and
is Tied Fast.

a Burglar Gets CeugIat in a Window and
is Tied Fast.
John Hogan is a very much misguided
white man with lame leg. That is, it
i lame this morning. and perhaps a lit
tie longer than it really ought to be.
This is how it happened:
MIR. Montgomery Manson, coIored.
lives in North Topeka, at 722 west B
street. This morning at about o'clock
Montgomery was awakened by a noise
in his house. After moments listen
ing ne became convinced that someone
was in his house and that his valuables
might be in danger
With firm determination and mighty
little else he arose aud hasteued to the
room in which the burglar seemed to be.
He was there. It was Hogan, and he was
half out and half in the window
1t seems he had taken pane of glass
out of the window and climb in that
way. He had found nothing he wanted
and was taking only his departure.
Manson made grab for the leg and
succeeded in getting it. Hogan could
not untangla himself from the window.
When Manson realized that Hogan
was on such terms of intimacy with his
window he was in no hurry. There was
lots of time to get a rope and Manson
let Hogan sweat while he got it. Ii
didn't take long to tie the leg to table
and then Manson sat down to enjoy
quiet chat with his visitor till daylight
There were some unpleasant features
about the situation Tor Hogan. but in re-
gard to this Manson exhibited the co1dest
Indifference
DO you think he said, as he lighted
his pipe, shat MorrilPs majority will be
more or less than 1O.00O97
Hogan didn't appear to be interested.
II will pay for the cigars said Manson
next, 4If you will go up town and get
them
Hogan didn't seem to want to 90.
Il had rather 60 home" he said, sits
= cold out here
We'll, why don't you 60" replied
Manson, Il haven't got anything but one
Of your legs
Hogan was beginning to realize that
this is a cold unfeeling world. His con
science was troubling him and besides
his leg was going to sleep
Say said he, s.don't you think this is
going little too far for a joke
1T is going a good deal farther than
you are just uow," replied Manson.
All this was very Interesting for both
and the same breezy. happy style Of con-
versation was continued till daylight.
When daylight arrived Manson sent
one of his children for an officer and Ho-
gan was taken to the police station and
held till a warrant could be sworn out
for him.
His case will be tried in Justice Ches-
ney's court soon after election.

DISAPPOINTED AUDIENCE.
Jerry Simpson Didn't Come. But the Crowd
Stayed.

Hamilton hall was crowded Saturday
evening. but there was disappointment
in store for those VINO were there. Jerry
Simpson, who was advertised as one of
the principal speakers, was not there and
the committee evidently knew he would
not be at the meeting before hand, but
still silly excuses were made to the crowd
about the non-appearance of Simpson,
and when it grew too late for him to
come they said that when he reached
Newton on his way to Topeka the Popu-
lists pulled him from the train and kept
him there.
The crowd stayed. however, and listen
ed to S. Nj. Scott. He was followed by
John S. Crosby. Of Missouri, who made
a very eloquent address.

nothing of their claims as to what the
result will be- For example. Mr.. SaxtOn,
the Republican candidate for lieutenant
governor, who has been most active
of all the candidates on his ticket con-
nected with the mapping out Of the Re

plurality will be anywhere from $4,000

Sixty thousand plurality is the general
claim of his party associates, who are
