And People for Thirty Miles or More are
Now Heading Them.

There is a gay old bachelor who lives
up near HalStead. He is about AZ years
old, good locking. young feeling for his
age and we'll fixed financially, in lands
and in cattle. This same gentleman IS
the talk of that whole neighborhood
and as high as fifty girls have thought
sure that they would be led 10 the altar
some day by him. Not less than TWEEN
" times he has been at the marrying
point but always avoided the yoke by
some hook or crook. II IS said that his
chief falling was love letter writing
and no man in the state had more
young lady correspondents. That gay
old bird was in the cyclone belt last
week. He escaped himself but the
cyclone picked up his trunk and mopp-
cd the prairie with it for over thirty
miles The result is that all the people
along the line of the cyclone for thirty
miles are reading his love letters and
the old boy is in a terrible stew over it.
Up in Mcpherson county the letters
have caused a second Trilby craze
among the girls and they are writing
to him by the dozen.
Cyrus Hinkson, who was also cy-
clone victim, lost his papers. but they
were not love letters by any means.
His certificate of insurance in the \.
O. L w. lodge was picked up thirty
miles from his home and a buggy top
was found twenty-five miles away.

THROW OUT THE LIFE LINE"
Unique Method Adopted to Raise Mission

Superintendent !. =. Sherman of the
First Baptist church sunday school

impressive method Of raising funds for
missionary purposes. It was the day
for regular missionary collection in

promised the pupils To have something
unique for them. They all came hut
could see nothing unusual until the
moment came to begin the collection
when Mr.. Sherman pulled a string and

Kos Harris is wonderfully interested
in finding Mrs. Jim Goodacre. He
wants her for witness in d real estate
case.
This is a case that has caused a good
deal of interest among the lawyers and
the deputy sheriffs. Nearly every bust
ness man in Wichita knows Jim Good
acre, and a good many of them know
that he has been in court for about
three years.
jim Goodacre is one of the successful
farmers of Gypsum township. Several
years ago when John Brunton was in
the grain business at Derby Jim Good
acre and Albert Law went on a note
with John in the State National bank,
and Brunton put UP mortgage on his
piled 1t on the personal debt of Law.
The mortgage and insurance were
turned over to the bank but one still
night the elevator burned down. and
right here is where Jim Goodacre kick
ed. He claimed that Mr.. Skinner coll
the lected insurance money and APP
piled il on the personal debt of Low.
Law had had bad luck but Goodacre
owned a half section of land and was
considered good. Jim thought he had
been SWlndled and instantly became a
poor man and sold his land TO Mr..
Mock and started in anew
In the course of time Mrs. GOodacre
accumulated some money and bought
the land of Mock. Mock is Mrs. Good
acres father and because of that fact
the State National thought the sale
was bogus.
a suit was commenced against Jim
Goodacre and his wife and Judge Wall
was employed 10 defend the case. The
main trouble, however, seems to be 10
get service on Mrs, Goodacre. Bill
Hays has kept the road hot for long
time between Wichita and the Good
acre farm,
Royse and his deputies say they
would not mind finding Charley Ross,
or arresting Tascott but o find Mrs.
Goodacre is one of the things that is
very trying to a deputy sheriff Ac
cording to Jim Goodacre's account his
wife travels extensively in foreign coun
tries, but the deputy sheriffs think Mrs
Goodacre has never been outside OF
Sedgwick county since 1871.
Kos Harris finally concluded that
Charley Burrows was the man VINO

could serve those papers and Charlie
was sent to the GOOdacre farm. The
willy deputy sheriff procured a hunting
outfit and took his wife along TO serve
the papers on Mrs. Goodacre. He drove
up to the Goodacre residence and Mrs.
burrows knocked on the door. The
! summons was answered by young
girl about 10 years old.
The girl did not invite Mrs. Bur
rows in but looked out toward Chdrlle
who was in the carriage in the road.
rs Mrs. Goodacre at home asked
Mrs Burrows of the girl.
NO she is not at home to company
today" answered the girl. and Mrs.
burrows not being much of a deputy
sheriff that made her hot and she
made a break for the carriage. Jim
Goodacre came to town the next day
and reported that the bank had fe-
male detective after his wife and he
thought this county was coming 10
pretty pass when detectives We're en-
ployed to follow around after farm
erS wives.
Whether Jim Goodacre is in the right
is another question. but the deputy
sheriffs claim that there is not man
woman or child in Gypsum township
who will give any information about
Mrs. GOodacre.
Bill Hays says this is a very intricate
case ana mat jim ToCuacIe hHuWS
right smart and what Jim does not
know Wall does and that the outcome
of the case is one of the things that
deputy sheriff does not know.
In the meantime Kos Harris is on his
ear and Judge Walls musical laugh
resounds through the corridors of the
court house. Kos threatens TO take the
case TO the United States court and
Wall hints. in a vague way, that these
people who are annoying his client
may get brought up for fraud, neither
of which solves the problem for the
deputy sheriffs who are laying awake
of nights designing some way TO get
service on Mrs. GOodaCre.
