MEETS WITH AN ACCIDENT
BY the Unexpected Activity of 4O-Yea
Old Horse Ben DeVore Broke His Leg.

by the Unexpected Activity OF a 4O-Year-
Old Horse Ben DeVore Broke His Leg.
Ben DeVore of the Betram plumb
ing company, met with a very serious
accident yesterday on West Elm street,
whereby he had the two bones of his
right leg broken in two places, and
will probably be left a cripple for the
remainder OF his life. In the afternoon
he was driving with an old horse
which, has for the past twenty years
supposed to have past that age of OBJ
servance when horses are supposed to
take fright, when all of a sudden the
aged creature gave a jump which
would have done credit 10 a jack RAD
bit, and with his weather-beaten tail
at an angle of forty-five degrees start
ed off al a rate which only permitted
the wagon wheels 20 strike the high
places. So sudden and unexpected was
the cavorting of the superanuated
animal that both Ben and Guy Betram
were thrown from the wagon. In
fortunately Ben's leg was caught in
the wheel and broken as stated. The
horse is still running al far as a report
er could learn. Ben was taken to his
residence on North Emporia. where he
will be confined for many days. Mem

the South Carolina plan is better than

the suggestion that il makes the state a

thing more far-reaching.
"A vary casual glance will detect a
very wide difference between a dispen-

THEY SAW A GHOST
Party of School Children are Given a Ter
ribIe Fright Last Night.

A terrified party of Wichita's young
people returned home last night con-
WINGED of one truth and that was that
there was such a thing as ghosts. They
not only saw one on South Lawrence
avenue, but they heard it sing a Dutch
solo without striking a single harmon
ious note. The party were willing TO
make affldavits that the object which
arose from a sandhill, near the river,
was nine feet high, six feet broad and
had feet more Like an Indian canoe than
anything they could think of.
The party who were given the fright
Of which they will never forget, and to
escape the ghost they came near kill
ing a team as they fairly flew shrieking
up Lawrence avenue last night, was
composed of the following persons:
Clayton Currents, Ben Harrison, Fred
Harrison, Charley Black, Jim CullOm.
Frank Kenyan, Frank Nicholson, Bert
Furnance, Misses Lille Chritton, Ida
Nessly, Oracle Prather, Myrtle Black,
Emma Cochrane, Bertha Prey and Jen-
ny Prey.
Charley Black, who was with the par
ty, and who fell out of the wagon alt the
Douglas avenue bridge, gave a, reporter
the following particulars of the scare
and stampede:
The party had gone TO a spelling
school down in the country and for
some reason the subject of ghosts was
taken up and discussed. When we
reached the heavy sandy roads the
team was forced to walk and the sub
ject of ghosts had terrified all in the
party when some one suggested that
this would be a horrible place to meet
ghost The words were no sooner
spoken than old Cellum, the off-side
horse of the team, reared up and fell
backwards, while Bet, the near-side
mare, gave a snort that would have dis
counted John Fishers snoring at the po
lice station. The entire party leaped to
their feet and there arose from the plum
bushes the horriblest aspect that man
ever beheld covered with a sheet. The
object tried to sing, when Clate Cur
rent fell in a faint and Jim Cullom be-
came wild as bat. By this time the
horses were got on their feet and they
fairly flew homeward. There was no
riderless bicycle about this ghost but
IT was perfectly genuine, and not only
Topped its wings and tried to sing, but
eat something that looked like bologna
sausa ge."
What do you think is WASP" asked
the reporter.
Il haven't any idea, but I think it
was a Dutch spirit. Have you ever
heard anything about a Dutchman be-
ing killed near the Lawrence avenue
BRIDGE asked the terrified young man.
He was informed that the reporter
knsw of no such occurrence.
We'll, we saw a ghost and there is
no mistake and when you have investi-
gated the subject you will find that we
are right ] have always said that
there were no such things. but now |
know there is and will swear to it,

suit Is the Result.
The case OF Mrs. Lydia Staihngs
against the City of Wichita is now be-
ing tried in the district court.
Mrs. Stallings was going home one
fine afternoon about eighteen months
ago and while she was buttoning her
glove she stepped into a hole in the
sidewalk and broke her leg.
Mrs. Stallings knew that hole was in
the sidewalk but while rustling with a
stubborn glove button she forgot all
about ii till the collapse came.
The city is represented by Mr.. Stan
ley and Judge Wyatt, while Joe Hous-
ton is taking care OF Mrs. Stallings' in
terests. George Adams, the city at
torney, is not in the case for the rea-
son that was at first Mrs. Stailings at
torney before he became the Attorney
General for the Peerless Princess.
The contention Of the city is that Mrs.
Stallings, who knew the hole was in the
sidewalk. ought 10 have avoided IL and
hence save herself the annoyonce Of
breaking her leg The city had moth
ing to do with the factory that sewed
the buttons on Mrs. Stallngs glove.
nor did the Peerless Princess sew the
button holes that seem to be the cause
of all her woes. Then, again, IL does
not appear that 1t was necessary for
her 10 button her glove when she knew
there was danger ahead OF her.
Joe Houston contends that the city
should have no holes in it's sidewalks
At any rate Mrs. Stallings broke her
leg and she modestly cleaimed the usu-
al damages OF SO. 600. Now. then, every
body knows that if limbs are not worth
$4,000; If they were this country would
have one thrillion four hundred billion
dollars worth Of limbs alone to say
nothing of all other kinds of property
and every Populist in the nation, not
excluding PETER. knows that this is en-
tirely too much. A glance at Coins
Financial School will satisfy any reader
that this is more money than there is in
the entire world even II the gold of
King Solomon's temple and the treas
ures of Captain Kid were coined into
cash.
Mrs. Stallings has saked entirely too
much for these hard times when the
checks for the wages OF metropolitan
policemen have to be shaved 20 per cent
before they are cashed. Boom DANA

There was some trouble in finding
jury. Joe Houston didn't want tax
payers on because they may be preju-
diced against going down in their jeans
for $4,000 when the nation Is selling
bonds TO make good its deficits, and the
city did not want non-tax-paying eiti-
Zens because they may be too reckless
with the money of their more fortunate
felloW-citizens. The result was that a
jury of taxpayers outside the city limits
had TO be found
Mrs. Stallings in placing her damages
made serious mistake in not putting
few dollars at the tail of the larger
sum. When Ed Taylor sued the city
for S10,016 he acted wise for the Jury
generously gave him the SIS because II
was kind of handy to dispose OF and II
was burden of less than 1-mill per
capita on the people. The case is be-
ing watched with interest.
