STOPS A BANK EXAMINER.
Sheriff Burdge Makes an Arrest of an I'm.
pOrtant Parsonage for Contempt.


POrtant Parsonage for Contempt.
A telegram came to the sheriff's Office
from Winfield, Kas., yesterday afternoon
asking Mr.. Burdge to intercept j. Sam
Brown, United States bank examiner,
who would pass through on the 4:4O
Santa Fe train
Brown was an important witness in
murder trial in the district court at Win
field yesterday morning. He had ur-
gent business in Chicago and the attor-
neys told him that if there was any one
who could testify to the same facts as
himself he need not stay. Mr.. Browns
stenOgrapher knew the same facts about
the case as the bank examiner, SO Mr..
Brown started for Chicago.
When court convened yesterday morn
ing at o'clock the trial could not pro-
coed on account of Browns absence and
had to be adjourned to today. Sheriff
Burdge was telegraphed to arrest Brown
for contempt,
Deputy Tom Wilkerson met the train
and went back as far as Emporia
with Brown, where he was met by the
Winfield sheriff.
The official will doubtless be fined
heavily for contempt He had been
made the victim of a trick by the at
torney's to whose side his evidence is
damaging it is said.

A COUCH FOR $4,000.

Thirty inches wide; over six feet
long, luxurious, with long, easy,
yielding springs-to look at it is
restful; to use it is q revelation of
comfort
A couch with an imported covering
soft and velvety to the touch, brili-
ant with modest and lovely covering.
A couch for royalty; S23 buys it
now-for a short time only. You
might esteem yourself fortunate to
get it for $50.
Those bed lounges with the pat
tern birch backs and frames are
built on the different plan from the
common run; the bed part--the bed
tick or mattress-is removable, can
be washed and replaced with as
much ease and almost as quick as
spreading a comforter on an ordi-
nary bed; this is quite a patent
"kink;" better examine these bed
lounges; they don't cost any more
than common Ones-and they are
quite uncommon, with this patent
specially. Still. we have the cheap
bed lounges, too, at 80 and so for
good plush coverings.

POSSUM ON TOPEKA AVE.

One Caught There Last Night By the
Moons Pale Light.
Topeka avenue was invaded last night
by a little opossum, right from the
woods.
Harry Pence of 1885 North Topeka
avenue was sitting on the porch last
evening when he noticed the little
chicken thief sauntering up the walk in
the moonlight, as if on dress parade.
Mr.. Pence secured a box and captured
'brer possun, who very obligingly went
to sleep as the traditional possum always
does in the tales of e ncle Remus, long
enough to permit the capture.

A THOROUGHLY MEAN MAN.

He Worked the Restaurant Waiter So as
Ito Economize on His wife's Appetite.
The champion mean man paid San
Francisco visit yesterday, says the
Post. He was big, long-legged, raw
boned fellow, with nose like the blade
Of Ratchet. His eyes, like little black
beads, were set within half an inch Of
each other and glistened and cleaned
at everybody and everything at once.
He clutched the arm of a sad-faced
woman with a long. bony hand and
clawed at his whiskers with the other
as he ordered the waiter in Market
street restaurant to give him a cup OF
coffee. The waiter brought it with
some bread and butter and laid down
a check for 10 cents.
Would you give me an extra pitcher
of cream?" asked the mean man. The
waiter brought it.
Eyes, by the way, give me a cup Of
hot water, will you. please?"
The waiter brought it and watched
the mean man curiously. He poured
the cream into the hot water, put lit
tie sugar in 1t, showed 1t at his wife and
flung one slice of bread without butter
in her direction. The little woman ate
it hungrily and the waiter added 5
cents to the mean mans check
The row was heard three blocks up
Market street. He declared he was be-
ing robbed because he was from the
country, but he finally paid when
threatened with arrest.
