\ Member of the Topeka Salvation Army
is Assessed S. For Assault
William Pruitt, private in the Saliva
ton Army, was tried in Justice Furry's
court last evening for assaulting Albert
Lindell by knocking him from his
bicycle The evidence showed that the
salvation Army was parading on Kansas
avenue, on the evening in question, in
open order" There was a space of
over twenty feet between the two ranks,
which was plenty of room for Lindell TO
pass on his bicycle without annoying the
soldiers Pruitt knocked Lindell from
his wheel and then showed him his
Salvation Army badge, saying that was
his authority for knocking him down.
The only defense of the Salvation
Army was that LindeIl chad no business

WOULD DRINK BLOOD.
A Somewhat Sensational Charge Made
Against DeBArrOws.

Against lie BArFOW5s
The prosecution of Richard DeBarrows
for the murder of Foreman Ross OF the
Mulvane ranch July 4. claims it will be
able to overcome any efforts on the part
of the defense to establish sympathy for
the guilty mar County Attorney SAT-
ford says he knows of an incident which
will be competent evidence when the
time comes, that shows the bloOdthirsty
disposition of DeBarrows
When the murderer was taken to the
county Jail he noticed for the first time
some Of his victims blood on the sleeve
of his shirt He said "Hsre's some of
the blood of those - -,
and with that he licked the blood from
the sleeve and smacked his lips with
evident satisfaction. The prosecution ex-
poets to prove also that DeBarrows
robbed the Mulvane hen-roost and that
this was one reason Ross endeavored to
discharge him There are other reasons
which the prosecution will endeavor to
show why Ross was justified in trying to
get DeBarrows of the ranch.

BICYCLE oRDINANCE PASSED.
The Speed Limit is Now Ten Mile
Hour.

The Speed Limit is Now Ten Miles
Hour.
The bicycle ordinance was passed last
night, ana it is to be hoped every one is
satisfied The speed limit was placed at
ten miles an hour, and a provision re-
curing the use of bicycle bells" was
adopted. The wheelmen are to under
stand that this does not mean COW bells,
dinner bells or sleigh bells. There is no
provision requiring the wheelmen to
carry locomotive headlights or even a
bicycle light
The council cut out the provision al
lowing all vehicles to travel ten miles
an hour, and placed the limit for bug
gies and wagons at six miles.
Councilman Bradford thought that
such a distinction might make the entire
ordinance invalid, but County Attorney
Bird said it would be all right
Councilman Bradford said it would
cause friction between the horsemen and
wheelmen, but the objections BILE provis-
ion was amended by the following vote:
Ayes: Pattison, Skinner. Stevens,
Stephenson, Elliott and Fulton.
Nays: Bradford, Burgess, Drew and
Roundtree.
The provision making it unlawful to
throw tin cans. glass and nails into the
streets was stricken out after the council
found that it really had no place in a
bicycle ordinance Besides City Attor-
nsy Bird found an old ordinance cover
ing the same point
The ordinance was then adopted with
out opposition.
