PRISON OFFICIALS AMAZED.


Convict Produces . Commitment, but He
LEAvESwoRTH. Kan, Jan. .l.- Officials
Of the Kansas penitentiary were as
tonishcd on the appearance of a we'll
dressed man in the warden's office, who
said: Il have come to put on a stripped
suit" He pulled out commitment, sem
fencing him to the penitentiary for two
gears from his pocket. and it developed
that without an official of any kind to
guard him the prisoner had come all the
way from Guthrie, o. T., to undergo con-
dncrnent. The prisoners name proved tc
be Z. b. Millikcn, until recently city clerk
of Guthrie, and who was convicted of en-
bezzlement and given two years in the
United States court q few days ago.
He is the first prisoner ever to arrive at
the penitentiary without a guard. and the
officials would scarcely believe his story
at first. Milliken told the penitentiary
officials he was an old friend of the sheriff
At Guthrie, who had implicit confidence
in him. By trusting him to come alone
the sheriff was saved the expense of the
trip. Milliken's frank and manly way
captured the officers and they will make it
As pleasant for him as possible during his
two years confinement.

CARS SOON COME TO GRIEF.

Four start Out, but Have To He Taken
Back to the barn.
The fact that the wires had been de-
stroyed by the strikers delayed the start
ing of cars, and the arrival, to mend the
broken wires, of the construction wag-
ons acted like a torch to a magazine and
. big crowd at once flocked about the
tracks stretching for mile along the
avenue, waiting for the cars they knew
would soon be sent out. 1t was not until
noon that repairs had been made and ten
cars were started at Las p. m, there being
little difficulty in dispensing the crowds
about the station. The cars were well
guarded by troops and police.
Near Hopkinson avenue the mob had
taken possession of the building material
n front of a row of brick buildings I'm
Ter construction and hurled it over both
tracks between the short time of the pass
ing of the second car and before the third
had reached that point. There were many
women and children in this mob and a
scene of turbulence was enacted lasting
= long time after the obstacles were re-
moved, the strikers in the meanwhile hay
ing succeeded in securing the desertion of
four moformen.
A second block &C CURED near Saratoga
avenue and the cars were ordered back to
the stable, all reaching east New York

the exception of one, the latter being
taken back by a striker who had a bio
