THEY SECURED THE EvIDEECE
Lively Time in the Police Court After
500 Bill.

There was a lively scene in the police
court Yesterday afternoon, in which
Harry Sutton, Bedford Wood, Ben
Downing and Sam Jones were the trans
gressors of the disturbance and two
healthy, robust, buxum women OF color
and well developed muscle were the de-
PENDANTS. 1t was lively skirmish, but
at the end of the tussle the officers laid
on the table before Police Judge Wilson
500.
1t appears that during the day the
officers had been informed that GER
tain business man had distracted from
his possession, and from the pockets OF
his pants a certain sum OF money
among which was bright, handsome
SlO0 bill, and he had every reason to be-
lieve that the money was in the posses
sion of the two women who were seat
ed upon the mOurner's bench in the
place Of worship where the congrega-
ton meets twice each day TO clear up the
docket.
The women were searched but no
money was found, and the case was
about to be called when Bedford land

on digging and was ably assisted by
his friend Harry. who could not stand
by and see Bedford have all the fun TO
himself. Harry realized that Bedford
had caught a glimpse of some important
testimony and he began like search
upon the woman's companion, and Sam
Jones and Ben Downing drew near to
render all necessary assistance. Some
times the officers were on top and some
times to the contrary, when Bedford
startled the court by yelling Eureka"
About the same time Harry gave
like alarm, for in some hidden recess
about the female figure he had discov-
ed a small treasury. Bedford found
the identical 800 bill which he had been
looking for and Harry found enough
aside from which to pay the necessary
expense.
The evidence was thus secured, and
the two dusty females had nothing TO
do but to plead guilty and the money
was returned to It's risntful owner. 1t
was a bold game, but the two Hawk

CHANGE In FRISCO
1T WILL BE AN INDEPENDENT LINE
VERY SOON.

First Vice President of the Santa Fe Gives
the Information OfheiaIly-The Change
VIII Cut Quite an Important Figure in
the shipping Interests of Wichita-It
Will Probably Involve a Direct Outlet
to the west-It viii Also Cut Quite a
Figure on Rates-OmciaIs VIII be Here
Today.
Yesterday morning First Vice-Presi-
dent d. B. Robinson of the Santa Fe,
Hon. E. d. Kenna, general solicitor.
and E. d. Story, solicitor of the At
lantic and Pacific road called on the
Eagle with Mr.. Fred w. Bentley, gen
eral attorney for the Wichita and West
ern.
The gentlemen in conversation with
the editor of the Eagle gave some
mighty important information concern
ing the railroad interests Of Wichita
and such as to be very encouraging.
Mr. Robinson said that under the re-
organization of the Santa Fe system
the Frisco will become an entirely indie
pendent company and one that for GER
tain reasons will become an important
competitor for the business of the city
as well as the entire southwest. 1t is
well known that the Frisco does not
run into Kansas City or connect with
Chicago. All its interests line towards
st. Louis and the south. When il is
an independent company St. Louis will
become an important and formidable
competitor with Chicago for the trade OF
Wichita and southern Kansas. When
il does somebody will see better in
ducements given to the producers and
consumers of southern Kansas by the
wholesale houses, stock yards and grain
markets OF the two great metrOpOlises.
Already ST. Louis is manifesting en-,
ergy in this line in anticipation of the
change. Inside of a few weeks the
Frisco will be giving a more definite
idea Of its future policy and the predic-
ton is that Wichita will be taken care
of. The Frisco people are sensibly alive
to the Importance OF Wichita not only
as a producing, but as a commercial
center, and so is st. Louis. The road
under the new management is expected
to be to Wichita what NettletOn's road
is to Kansas City, and that means
great deal. 1t is not at all unlikely
that the Wichita and Western will fall
into the hands of the Frisco under its
independent plans in which event il viii
build to Dodge City and thus open up
the trade territory of Western Kansas
to Wichita by a direct rout that viii
save some eighty miles Of a haul. This
is by no means small item to the ship
ping and passenger service. The other
branch at Ellsworth is owned and con-
trolled by the company and this city
Will be the junction of the system in
this section and practically the western
terminus.
In settling the grain question for
southern Kansas, as also the packing
and live stock interests of Wichita, to-
gether with all jobbing freight rates the
Independent Frisco win be a powerful
factor, as grain and live stock from
this section having once reached any
