 picion-Her Husband Thought to be an
 Accomplice-Jewels Not Yet Recovered
 Addison T. Hall Arrested for Assault
 Other Police Cases.
 Mrs. Clara Price who has been for a short time employed as a servant at Grove street, was arrested yesterday afternoon and locked up, charged with the theft of jewelry to the value of nearly $200 from members of MT. Beach's family. The jewelry stolen and valued at $16O, red coral pin set in gold, valued at $25 and other less valuable articles. Up to a late hour last evening the stolen goods had not been recovered. It is thought that they have been disposed of at some pawn shop.
 The theft was discovered about two weeks ago, when certain members of MT. Beach's family returned home af- ter a sojourn out of town. Mrs. Price had then only been working in the house few days. She is under arrest on suspicion, and complete evidence against her has not yet been secured Detectives are still at work on the case.
 Mrs. Prices husband, James Price. was arrested a few days ago for the theft of bicycle. He secured a bonds man and was released on bail, but yes- terday his bondsman for some reason became suspicious that he was about to skip town and gave him up to the police. He was locked up at the cen tral station. It is suspected that he was implicated with his wife in the theft of the jewelry in either having committed the theft himself assisted by her, or in having assisted her to dis pose of the articles stolen He was caught on Temple street yesterday af- ternoon by Detectives Donnelly and Daly.

4 SHOCKING ACCIDENT.
six-Year-Old Victim-FreiGht Train Cuts
 of Little Peter Dickey's Legs and an

SIX hear-Old Nfctim-treight Iraih S"'s
 Of Little Peter Dickey's Legs and an
 Arm.
 One of the saddest accidents that has happened in this city for long time was that which happened yester- day afternoon about o'clock under the Hamilton street railway bridge. The victim was little Peter Dickey, six years of age, living with his W1d- owed mother, Mrs. Johnson, at S62 Blatchley avenue. The mother is sick in bed and while left to himself yester- day little Peter wandered away from his home neighborhood and got lost He came along to Cedar Hill station and seeing the freight train waiting there got on. The train was the freight transfer" which runs from Belle dock to the Cedar Hill yards and is then switched over on to the main line. Conductor Cooley was in charge, but no one saw the little tot get aboard. As nearly as the police could learn Peter hung on to the iron rod on which the car door slides and when the train got under way became frightened and did not dare get off. At the Hamilton street bridge he either lost his hold or tried to jump off. Whatever he had tried to do, however, the result was that the poor little lad was rolled un- der the cars and the wheels cut off both legs and the left arm. His cries as he fell were heard and the ambu- lance was at once summoned.
 The police in charge could not make out what the little boy tried to tell them except that his name was "Petie,' and that he lived on "Blatch- ley avenue" He was conveyed to the hospital at once, where, though fast failing from loss of blood, he was con- scious to his last breath, which came at ten minutes of six last evening"
 The afflicted mother was greatly dis tressed over her little sons disappear ance and the neighbors feared to tell her last night of his fatal ride. Peter S father died several years ago and Mrs. Johnson recently lost her second hus- band.

DIDN'T LIKE WICHITA
Roy Ward Objects to stone Streets or Glass
Wagons


Wagons.
Yesterday at noon Roy Ward, manly
little fellow of nine years, came in on
the Santa Fe from Ellinwood, Kan, TO
pay a visit 20 his uncle, Walter Jones.
Master Roy has been living with his
grandmother at Ellinwood, and as she
wanted TO make a short trip up in the
northern part Of the state. she sent the
boy here first, buying him a new out
fl and a ticket TO Wichita. When the
conductor called out "Wichitar ne got
off, took a careful survey and marched
to cabby with as much sang froid as
drummer and said that he wanted to go
10 mis- uncle's.
who is your uncle and where does he
live?" asked the cabman.
walter Jones is my uncle. I don't
know where he lives
The hackman told Roy to get inside the
hack and placing his box of clothes
alongside him, the cabby wen: to see
where the boys uncle resided
The directory gave South Emporia and
away the boy was whirled 10 the address
given in the directory. When they got
there they found that Mr.. Jones had
moved from there quite long time ago
and no one thereabou;s knew his pres
ent address. The cabman was in a
quandry for about two or three seconds,
but happy thought struck him and he
took the lad 10 police headquarters.
There happened 20 be one Of the innunl-
cradle Jones at the station when the boy
j
20 inquire Of some other Joneses where
the particular Walter Jones lived. He
soon returned and said that he could
be found at $50 North Topeka avenue.
Bedford Woods and Harry Sutton then
took Roy Ward to the number given.
Waen they got there they found that
Mr.. Jones had also gone off on a visit
and no one was at home. The boy was
taken back to the station where ar
rangements were made to let him sleep
in Chief Campbelrs private office until
this morning, when he will be sent back
10 his home in Ellnwocd.
Roy was seen az the station yesterday
and he said that ne didn't like Wichita
because it was too big.
why, they have stone streets here
and glass wagons run right up the mid
die 0f the street. l don't like that"
He had on a new pair Of shoes, and
he said: What do you think of them?"
and with the remark he pushed a foot
ouc so that an inspection could be made
OF his shoes.
Il don't like 70 wear shoes; 60 bare
footed when 1 am at home. Say, mister,
is Great Bend as big as Wichita? I've
been there"
When told that Great Bend was not as
large as Wichita he turned away and
began munching on a piece Of ginger
bread.
