HE MADE HIS MARK.
Another Wichita Boy Getting to the Front
In Chicago.

A. r. Muselier, probate judge Of Noble
county. Oklahoma, writing 10 the ed
itor OF the Eagle about a Wichita boy
says:
Permit me to call your attention to
the successful career of another Wichi-
IA boy You probably remember my
cousin, R. ". Craig, who lived with me
since 50 in Wichita. His mother is
Mrs. II w Craig. matron of the Chill
dren's Home. Of you city.
Mr.. Craig this year. being his third
and last year in Rush Medical college OF
Chicago. first took the examin ton
about a month ago for the position of
physician 10 the Michael Reese Hospital
OF Chicago. He was successful among
all the competitors in that eNamina ton.
Last week he took the examination for
inturn 10 the Cook County Hospital. the
highest and most distinguished honor
that can be conferred upon a Rush
medical graduate. and he stood firts
among the ten for that position. In ad-
dition he is valedictorian Of the gradu-
atilg class of Resi- medical for this
year.
Is not thtat pretty good for a poor
Wichita boy? His mother and myself
have made every sacrifice to keep him
there, and he has proved himself the
peer of any in the keen struggle for
supremacy and mental superiority in
one of the greatest medical colleges in
the world

HE RESISTS ARREST
CONSTABLE MIXEN OF MT. HOPE
SHOOTS FARAER WALKER.
hooting Causes Great Excitement in the
Little City-Valker Accused of RapinS
His Step Daughter--WhenM ixen Went
to Arrest Him He was Confronted by a
Shot Gun but the Constable Gets the
First Shot--County Attorney Davis will
Investigate the Matter TOday--Justice
Slightly Puzzled.

There were sensational rumors on the
streets yesterday about shooting at
Mount Hope on Sunday evening.
IT was finally learned that Constable
Mixen of Mount Hope shot a man by
the name of Walker.
County Attorney John Davis last
night received letter from a justice of
the peace at Mount Hope stating that
he had under arrest a man by the name
of Walker. and that he was shot
through the bowels and was in a very
precarious condition, and asking the
. county attorney to come at once.
Mr.. Davis left this morning for Mount
Hope TO investigate and advise the
justice there what 10 do with his
prisoner.
Several parties were in from that Sec
ton Of the country. but none OF them
seemed TO know all the particulars OF
the shooting or just how It occurred.
The best information. however. is to
the effect that the man Walker who was
shot. is a farmer living near Mount
Hope. He some time ago married
widow who has a daughter IL or Is
years OF age. and on Sunday evening
complaint was made to Constable MiXen
that Walker had committed rape on the
girl.
Constable Mixen wet out to the Wal
ker home and arrested him, but after
agreeing to go along with him and
probably rejecting that il would go
hard with him. Walker changed his
mind. and getting in the house on pre-
tense of getting another coat he got
hold of a shot gun and politely in
formed Constable Mixen that he could
return without him, and farther moles-
ton on his part would be sudden death.
Mixen could not see il that way, and
drawing his revolver he told Walker
to lay down the shot gun. The con-
stable thought Walker was getting
ready 10 shoot and he got the first shot,
and brought down his man.
Walker was taken 70 Mount Hope
and a physician summoned. who pro-
nounced the wound dangerous though
Walker might recover.
The shooting coused great excitement
in the town of Mount Hope and the
people generally do not blame the con-
table, though some of Walkers friends
claim that he was innocent of the crime
of which he is accused.

CITY IN BRIEF.

Sheriff Royce took another batch OF
prisoners 10 the Lansing penitentiary
last night.
Thirty-four lawyers were seated in a
semi-circle around Judge Reed yester-
day listening to the calling Of the docket
and the assignment Of cases.
1t was remarked in the court house
yesterday during the assignment OF the
docket that nine-teaths CT the lawyers
at the Wichita bar are under 40-years
of age.
It is the general opinion Of the officers
around the Jail that Ward. the McGinty
rchber. cot toe long a term in the peni-
tentiary-twenty-si years. They say
Ward was not the worst man in the
gang.
Court Pailiff Bill Johnson feels hurt
because a report was circulated that
he absented himself from court last
week ia order to avoid being q witness
ia a case before the court Mr. Johnson
says he was absent under orders of
Sheriff Royce in line OF duty, guarding
goods.
Mrs. Newcomb played very sweetly

simple twist of the foot the piano could
be changed 10 represent a mandolin,

nounce il so.
Some Of the people who ask aid of the
county commissioners are in no wise

quest sent in yesterday, the writer stat
ing that the goods demanded were for a
family of two persons: Tea. coffee.

MAKES THE DUST FLY.
DIR. Winters Drives Thoroughbred and
Makes Fast Time.

DR.. Winters don't want anything said
about it, but he now drives horse that
in his opinion. can throw the dust into
the face Of the best trotters in the city
DR.. Winters always did like a good
horse, and when he is not preparing a
sermon he is thinking about famous
horses and he can tell exactly how
many times the horse is mentioned in
the Bible
The way DR.. Winters came to get
this thoroughbred was this way: He
went down to Arkansas City last week
to attend Presbytery in company with
DR.. Hewitt of Emporia.
DR.. Hewitt is a great admirer of a
good horse, and some Of the boys used
to say that Nj. Hewitt was the best
judge Of a horse in this city.
Wen these two ministers attended the
meeting OF the Presbytery and when a
great church question weighed heavily
on their minds, they took a walk on
the streets OF the live city on the border.
thinking that the bright sunshine would
give them inspiration TO solve the
problem.
They had nearly received sufficient
light when their thoughts were dis
turbed by the passing of black mare
TO a light road wagon at less than
3-minute gait.
Brother Hewitt clapped his hands on
Brother Winters shoulders and said:
See that, see how she reaches! See
those hind feet how nicely they pass on
the outside of the fore legs, and what
perfect knee action"
Right then and there Or. Winters
was seized with = sudden desire 10 buy
a driving horse For mis- wife He does
not occupy his mind very much with
fast horses. bat he likes - SEQ Mrs.
Winters drive a good horse. and he
bought that black mare.
When people now see II. Winters
coming down Lawrence avenue at a
little more than a 2-minuIe gait. they
must not think he Is on: for the purpose
Of taking spin" He will simply be

Il guess we shall have to order a
lunch brought to u.s. said Mayor Cox
at the city council meeting last night,
as the long hand Of the clock was get
ting along at a John r. Gentry gait
towards Il.
The city clerk consoled him by say
ing that in a few minutes more the
work would be completed.
There was a large audience at the
council meeting but the members were
unusually slow with their work for
some reason which was quite incon-
sistent with DR.. Richardson's electro
magnetic theory.
The most important work done, per-
haps, was the passage of an ordinance
imposing a license of Sl7.50 on every
telephone instrument in the city This
was done quietly and ii went through
like the proverbial string of creased
lightning. There were only eleven
councilmen present and they all voted
for it.
Some time ago the franchise of the
Missouri and Kansas telephone COM
pany expired, and as every one knows
there has been some agitation since
about getting new telephone com
pany to come in. The supposition was
p3ny could be driven out but the coun-
ell were cody informed that the COM
pany was here to stay. franchise or no
franchise. In other words, they crack
ed their fingers al the council ard
didn't care three straws whether the
council gave them a franchise or not
Some of the councilmen investigated
the matter and became inclined to the
belief that the Missouri and Kansas
company did not have a franchise
But, said the councilmen. we can
give a franchise to another company.
All right" said the Missouri and
Kansas company, Eve will make il
lively and interesting for the new COM
pany."
Considering everything it was deem
ed most advisable to slap on a tax of
$3.50 on each instrument per annum.
thus bringing down the price TO the
sum that other companies would put
in telephones for. This will make no
reduction to the renters of telephone
instruments. but it will go into the gen.
eral fund and thus tighten the taxes
on all. and as telephone renters are
taxpayers they will be bene-
fitted to that extent by the license tax.
The matter of salaries was tackled
in an ordinance which reduced the sal
airy of city engineer, slightly raised
the salary of street commissioner and
left the salaries of other officers as
they We're. This ordinance was passed
i must be stated. however, that the
street commissioner has the extra
duties of sidewalk inspector imposed
upon him, while the city engineer will
have to take care of the sewer depart
ment in addition to his regular work.
