TROUBLE AT THE THREE BALLS.
A Country .Darkey Has "a Pawn shop
Clerk Arrested on Three Counts.


Clerk Arrested on Three Counts.
Isaac Levy is under bond for assault and
battery, a. breach of good behavior and
larceny after trust. all of these alleged
offenses having been committed against
Walker Roberts, a country negro, young
in years. who hit the town the other day.
Walkers home is in Pembroke. When he
got to Savannah he decided the best thing
for him to do to protect himself in big
city would be to get a pistol. Forthwith
he began casting about to see where he
could supply himself with this weapon
that divides honors in the Afric heart with
the razor. He knew all right, even if he
was from the country, what three balls
mean when he runs up against them. So
when he passed along near KaskePs
pawnshop, his teeth shone and his eyes
ghstened. He fingered his 81 As that was
deep down in the right hand pocket of his
blue jeans, tied snugly up in rag.
Then he glanced a the window and
saw that he was likely to find what he
needed to protect himself when he got
around with the town coons.
Walker went in and told what he want
ed. He displayed his 81. 70 and a pistol was
shown him. This was all strictly profess
sional so far, but right here is where
Walkers story of his troubles begins. He
says that Levy dropped the pistol and
broke it, but Immediately claimed that
the customer had done so and took his
money from him TO pay for it. He said
that Levy finally gave him back the 81,
but kept the pistol and the 45 cents. That
did not end it, according to Walkers
story, for Levy then kicked him out of the
place. The darkey went before Justice
Nathans with his tale of many woes and
had the warrants issued.

cases. The Jail has been pretty well clear

TOLD OF PRINCESS TOM.
Prof. Dyche Gives Another Ex-
cellent Lecture.

Prof. Dyche's lecture on Alaska
with its many new views taken from
photographs secured by himself last
summer was very interesting to a
good sized audience last Friday. The
description of the northwest end Of
Uncle Sans domain makes valuable
addition to the repertoire of lectures
possessed by the young naturalist.
His description of Princess Tom, the
richest woman of the northwest, the
wife Of five husbands, was the best
part Of the lecture. Dyche made a
mash on the lady and she offered to
add him to her misfit collection OF
spouses. But for the fact that he
has a wife and some pretty babies in
Lawrence Kansas would probably
never have seen Dyche again. These
lectures are among the most valuable
ever given in the city and were APP
preciated by all.

WANT THAT RAILROAD.
Abilene Ought to Take Steps to Secure
It Now.

The new railroad that Governor
Leedy proposes to build from some
point in Nebraska to the Gulf Of Mex
leo is matter Of much Importance to
central Kansas. We understand that
junction City is already making an
effort to secure it and is certain that
it will pass down the Republican
river valley. We care nothing about
that but we do know that it ought to
strike Abilene to be success. This
city could then have a union depot
for its four roads and become me-
tropolis of central Kansas. To be
sure there would be some rivalry as
to whether it should pass through
Hope or Herington, and Council Grove
and Marion will fight for it while Sa-
lima will put in its best ticks. But
those things don't worry Abilene.
This town has man right in the
governors Office who will see to it
that the railroad comes to Abilene.
That is what he is there for. He
wrote the message and he will lay
out the route Of the road. So there is
no use of any other town on an east
or west line trying TO get the road.
Abilene is as certain to get it as the
road is to be built. The towns north
and south may settle the matter as
they please but Abilene will be d.
vision headquarters for Gov. Leedy's
North and South Pole railroad II it
goes after the honor. 1t would be a
good thing to begin a little work now
and we suggest that Walter Nichols
and Bill Nixon be sent to Topeka to
present the towns demands with the
proviso that they shall be conductors
on the line when it is built There
are also a number Of able bodied Pop.
ulists who are making trips to Topeka
frequently after office. These should
say good word for Abilene at the
same time. Who knows but this
great line of railway may be the
starting point Of wonderful business
revival in this section, just wait UNI
til the whistle of the locomotive is
heard-we hope you will live until it
comes.
