WILL AYERS TAKES CHARGE
He is Now Clerk of the Kansas Court of
Appeals at This Place.

This morning VIII Ayres takes charge
of the office Of clerk of the Kansas court
of appeals. having been appointed by the
court recently at Garden City. The full
court appoints clerks. one for each divi-
sion. the judge in his division being eX-
tended TIE courtesy, of course, of select
ing his own clerk.
The court of appeals at Wichita is
now the largest of the higher courts of
Kansas. It exceeds in business trans
acted even the supreme court of Kansas.
II will probably be a permanent institu-
ton. II has among its files 200 cases,
two hundred of which have so far been
disposed Of The disposition Of cases has
been at the rate OF 100 year. The filing
Of new cases has been at the rate OF
about 125 a year. 1t will be seen that the
new busienss exceeds the disposition of
cases and when all the other courts Of
appeals in Kansas have exhausted their
supply there will still be plenty to do at
this point
Mr.. Ayers, the new clerk. ii is con-
ceded on all sides, is pre-eminently the
man for the place, and Judge Dennison
tn his selection made the best possible
choice. Mr.. Ayers is competent, popu-
lar and honest and will run the office
satisfactorily. He was chosen over a
score Of applicants. He is at present
chairman of the Populist county central
committee and was lately a candidate
for railroad commissioner.

MISS BEEN APPEARS
IN HER LAUDABLE REQUEST FOB

inson, who Was Reported short in Her
Accounts Due to the Rush OF Holiday
Business, Again Comes Forward With
Wish to Have q Hearing ia Order That
She May vindicate Herself In the Abb
ssuce of the commissioner She Must
Wait

Miss BEEN of Hutchinson was in the
city yesterday with laudable wish 10
appear before United States Commits
sioner Sherman 70 answer to charge
of shortage in her accounts. She was
here some weeks ago on the same mis-
sion and the hearing was set for yesteI-
day, but the absence OF the commission
er on important business necessitated
postponement of the hearing Miss
BEEN was so overworkad during the hol-
idays that she did not check up on re-
ceipts and the apparent derelction fell
under the eye of the postoffice inspector.
The young lady, like all other innocen,
persons placed in an unpleasant position.
was more than anxious for hearing,
explanation and vindication. Her friends
are hosts in Hutchinson and Wichita. In
fact, Hutchinson people are unanimous
in their enthusiastic wish for a hearing
and all anticipate a ready vindication.
since they claim il was due to extra toll
on the part of an employe of the govern
ment, and not a cent was lost to the ser
vice. The enthusiasm of Miss BEEN 5
friends in her dilema is pleasant 10 coz
template. proving as ii does that
there is still love of justice and gallan-
try in the hearts of mankind.

Yesterday afternoon Harry Sutton
quietly arrested man by the name Of
NJ. B. Edrnision for obtaining money up
on fa,se pretences. The cause of the ar
rest was the following telegram received
by Mr.. NafIzgar. president OF the Fourth
National bank. Il stated:
Kansas City, Mo-. Feb. 10.-Fourth
National Bank. Wichita: John Evans
& Son Of Severy want VI. Il. Edmiston
for obtaining money on false pretenses
on fraudulent check. z. o. Stillweli, Ne
osho Falls bank. also wants him for same
charge.
(slgneD CHAS. II. W. LEWIS.
Cashier"
Upon investigation il was found that he
had been passing bogus checks IN other
places and wound up here. He came 10
this city a few days ago presumably on
a visit 10 Mrs. DR.. Hyperion OF this city,
VINO IS a distant relative.
Edmiston claimed 10 be out OF money
and asked Mrs. Hyperion 20 cash a
check for him which was drawn upon
Kansas City bank for $50. Mrs. Rip
perton went 10 Mr.. Charles Fuller and
asked him 70 cash il. Mrs Hyperion was
totally innocent of any harm but asked
Mr.. Fuller 10 exchange It for personal
check from him. which he did TO enable
her 70 obtain the money sooner and with
ont further trouble.
The next day Mr.. Fuller deposited the
check in the Fourth National bank and
on Monday Mr. Fuller was notified that
the check had been returned from Kan
sas City with the notification that Mr..
Edmiston had no account with the bank
at that place. Upon receiving this infor-
nation. Mr.. Fuller Immediately called
upon Mrs. Hyperion. She made full
and open explanation which showed her
TO be entirely innocent. II was then
learned that Edmiston had waited for
her outside the grocery and going TO the
Golden Eagle. Mr.. Fuller's check was
exchanged for S25 in cash and check
from Mr.. Gross for a like amount. This
check in its turn was cashed at the Man
haitian hotel. all of this being done after
banking hours. In this manner Edmiston
got the $50 in money.
Mr.. Fuller naturally desired 10 recover
mis- $50, but Mrs. Hyperion was unable
to do this. Things were a. a s;andstll
unit, Tuesday afternoon, when Edmis-
ton, with considerable boldness for a
shrewd swindler which he seems to be.
stepped into the Fourth National bank
with another check and asked that Il be
oashed. Cashier Moore was Onto him in
a jiffy and invited him politely into the
presidents office. While in there he SIM
ply shut him in and sent for an officer.
Edmiston played the old Indignation
game. but the young fellow who was
with him brought some parties from Col
lege Hi whom Edmiston claimed were
relatives. and who made good Mr.. Full
leTs $50. Edmiston was then released,
but strange 20 relate did not leave town.
Yesterday ne was arrested. as above
stated. and now is in durance vile and
also in the rotary up at the Hotel de
Cone.
IL has been learned that he has been
working the same game from several diff
ferent places with general success, but
he came to a dead stop when ne run up
against the bank cashiers and officers in
Wichita.
