DEPOT FLIRTATIONS
May Be at the Bottom Of the Hanway
Affair at Mcpherson.

T. E. Hanway, the Topeka travelling
man arrested at Mcpherson on the
charge of attempting to entice Bessie
Barnato away from her home has
been bound over to the district court.
His bond is fixed at $1,000. The girl
has refused to testify. She says that
Hanway was guilty Of no improper
conduct toward her and she does not
propose to give any evidence against
him
J. S. Grice, Hanway's father-in-law
returned from Mcpherson before the
hearing and signed his bond TO-DAY.
Mrs Hanway still believes in her nus
bands innocence and she took his
bond to her father today to secure his
signature
Hanway claims that he had no in
tention of eloping. That he got on the
train at Mcpherson to go to Canton
and that the girl with whom he was
acquainted also boarded the train
without his knowledge and sat down in
the seat with him. He says that is
the limit of his Offense.
Hanway viii probably be released
from jail tomorrow. 1t is stated among
travelling men that there is a certain
set of girls at Mcpherson who come
down to the depot every day to get up
f1irtatiOns. Three or four girls have
already got into serious scrapes and it
seems high time for Mcpherson par
ents to begin looking after the girls.
