HE WANTED TRANSPORTATION.
County Commissioners Instruct an Okla.
hOma Man and Make a Few Remarks.


hOma Man and Make Few Remarks.
Il want to get money to pay my way
to Iowa. said a man to the board of
county commissioners yesterday. He
was q young man probabl 20 years old.
He was fairly well dressed and fan
mel shirt collar turned back showed an
under one of the same material.
The applicant went on to relate that
he had been in the strip and spent all
his money and Chief of Police Cone
had sent him to the county commits
sioners to get transportation to his old
home in Iowa.
I'VE cannot give you Transports
tion," said the gentleman from Gyp-
sum. +. Webb. The stranger then said
that if the commissioners would loan
him money to get through that he
would return it, but Webb explained
that they were not running loan
agency. John Allen, the city member
of the board. said walking was good,
and he told the young man from the
strip just how to manage it. II have
had experience on the road myself"
said Mr.. Allen. You want to look out
for place to sleep over night. Don't
put il off until dark but about 4 o'clock
become very tired and appeal to people
to give you lodging
Then after the young man, who was
evidently not tramp. had departed
Webb and Allen related their troubles
and consoled themselves. There were
several things which in their minds
was not according to Hoyle. When
an appeal was made to Mayor Cox he
wrote very nice letter to the county
commissioners. 1t was always so nice
and polite that il seemed like profanity
to disregard it. Then when the city
police got hold of some object of char
ity they We're sent to the county COM
missioners. Then again there was an
other thing that caused Allen and
Webb to hang their heads in grief and
if continued much longer would GER
tainly bring their gray hairs to sorrow
down to the grave. That was the GUS
tom of the police force when they ar
rest men for petty offenses to try them
in the police court if they have money
enough about their clothes to pay a
fine, and of turning them over to the
state when they have no money.
Webb and Allen declared that to bear
these wrongs much longer will wreck
their official constitutions. And then
Webb bit off the end of his cigar which
had become wedged shaped. threw it
away, and remarked: We won't stand
it any longer. This thing of making a

M'KINNEY RUN IN
SUTTON AND WOOD CAPTURE A
FAMOUS BURGLAR.
James Mckinney Is Wanted at Winchester
H.-He Committed a Burglary and
Broke Jail-Is Formerly Wichita Man
Was at One Time a Companion of Ike
WiIley--McKiuney Supposed That the
Old Policemen Were All Gone and That
New Men Would Not Recognize Him.
Begs to be Let on.

Officers Sutton and Wood made an
important arrest last night. They cap
tured the famous burglar Jim McKin-
ney.
Mckinney has been lodging the Illi-
nois authorities ever since 1892. He was
arrested by the authorities Of Winches-
ter. ILL.,, in that year for burglary but
broke Jail and they have been pursu-
ing him ever since.
Mckinney used to live here several
years ago. He was a friend Of Jim
Creighton and used to associate with
Ike Wiley.
The Illinois authorities notified Chief
Cone two years ago to keep a lookout
for Mckinney. Harry Sutton says he
saw Mckinney here about three months
ago. He saw him walking from him
and knew him to be thief but failed
to locate him as he had not been here
for a long time.
Sutton got sight of him again yester-
day on East Douglas avenue. He
thought the man recognized him and
then Sutton came on west and sent
another man to shadow the suspect
Officer Sutton then went to police head
quarters and described the man to Chief
Cone and said he knew the man was
thief. And" said Sutton. lit seems
10 me l know his name is Kinley or
Kenney." Chief Cone and Detectives
Wood and Sutton finally came to the
agreement that the suspect was Jim
Mckinney and Sutton and Wood soon
captured him at the corner Of Topeka
and Douglas avenue.
Mckinney did not ask the cause of his
arrest until he arrived at police head
quarters. When told that he would be
sent back to Illinois he begged to be let
off. He said the present force only
had a short time to serve and that they
had no business to give him the worst
of it. He further said that he had no
idea that there would be any men on the
police force able to identify him now.
The authorities in Illinois telegraphed
Chief Cone last night that they would
come for Mckinney at once.
