BURGLARS UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT
Get Into Pat Gould's Store Cut Did Not Get
Anything.

At II o'clock on Thanksgiving evening
some one telepthoned to Mr.. Pat Gould
and told him his place Of business at
col East Douglas avenue was on fire.
He dressed and hurried down town.
When he got there ne found that the
desk In the rear OF the Office, wherein
is the money drawer, was on fire The
blaze had fiared UP enough TO light the
place. It was soon extinguished On
investigation ii was found that thieves
had entered the place and had, when
unable to open the drawer. set it on
fire. There was no money in the drawer
or in the safe. II may only be a Co
incidence, but on the night Of July 4th
Mr.. Gould's place was entered ana the
burglars secured over $50 in money.
They have probably made it a point 10

Yesterday the Wichita Nursery
bought the old Kentucky hotel building
near Dold's packing house, along with
ten acres OF land adjoining, and the
promises will be used for preserving and
packing out shipments. The hotel is
one Of the prominent buildings Of the
north side and has been empty for a
long time. II was put up in the rustic
OF the boom and its purchase by the
nursery indicates that while the plans
of the boom were a little beyond the
town in the rapidiiy with which they
were formulated the oity is now moving
along substantially TO the point Of its
original promise. In the last three
months there have been no less than
ten Of the big buildings Of the city that
have been idle more or less for months
fitted out to be utilized for permanent
business purposes The hotel and
grounds are conveniently located by
the Missouri Pacific and Santa Fe
switches and will expedite the shipping
interests of the nursery. Some time last
spring the nursery was formed by
combination OF the Wichita and Sedg-
wick branches and a plant of several
hundred acres put in- 1t was the pur-
pose of the proprietors to make the
plant one Of the greatest in the country
and Wichita the greatest wholesale
nursery town in the west, and the pur-
chase of the property yesterday indi-
Gates the success of the plan.
As another indication OF the value OF
the Wichita property it might be men
toned in this connection that the jury
in the Emil Werner case, which was an
appeal from the decision Of the apprais-
ers in setting the value Of two lots con-
demned as a site for the depot of the
Midland railroad, awarded Mr.. Werner
an advance of 81, 200 on $500 and al
lowed interest at the rate Of six per
cent. This is on two tots in the w. B.
Smith addition and that without build
ings OF any kind. Two thousand dollars
each for two unimproved lots is GER
tainly not anything Of a slam at Wich-
ita values.
