SLOT MACHINES,
Must Go at Salina, Says the
County Attorney,
Although the Council Have Lii
cenSed Saloons.
MANY SMALL BOYS
BOYS
Spend Dollars Given Them for
Other Purposes.
Other Kansas News of a Gener-
al Nature.

Salina, May 20.-This town after Ii
censing the joints has concluded to take
a step in the other direction and will
Danish the slot machines at once. The
cause that brought this reform about
was a small boys betrayal OF a trust.
1T seems that a couple of small boys
were sent down town recently to make
some purchases. They fell in with some
comrades and together they got to
working a slot machine in which money
other merchandise, and soon their en-
tire eXcheQuer to the amount of a dol
lar and a half had gone down the slot
OF course the boys parents at once
complained and now Mr.. Norris. county
attorney, proposes TO stop all the ma
chimes, as he states that all such de-
vices are technically wrong.
The section of the statutes relating to
this offense reads as follows:
Every person who shall set up or
keep any table OF gambling device =
purpose of playing any game of chance
for money or property shall on
conviction be adjudged guilty of a fell
Ony and punished by Imprisonment and
hard labor for term not less than one
year nor more than five years."
It has been said that any machine
which gives some return for the money
invested does not come within the law
but Mr.. Norris holds that if a man
plays with the chance of winning any
where from one to five cigars it is a
game of chance. and he intends to pros
ecute on these grounds.
Warrants will be issued a t once and a
test case made. Other towns will watch
the outcome with interest.

M'KINLEY'S SUMNER HOME.
He Will Occupy John B. Henderson's
Country Place.

Washington, May 20.-Ex-Senator John
B. Henderson's country place, which has
been put at the disposal of President Nc
Kinley, for the summer, is known
Cherry Farm 1t is about seven miles
from the city, and far back from the pub
lie road. Situated among veritable for
est of fruit and shade trees, the small
summer cottage is as completely isolated
as though it were a thousand miles from
the national capital. One must have
most intimate acquaintance with the
geography of the adjacent country in or
der to find the house at ALL
Approaching the house one is impressed
by the great number of fruit trees which
line the lane. Apple. pear. peach and
cherry trees are everywhere, and the eye
is unable to discover the bounds of the
ma gnificent orchard which stretches
away toward the north. The first sight
of the house is disappointing, for it
seems small but its full size is not ap-
parent from the front view for when
making the turn in the driveway it is
seen that the building extends quite
good distance to the rear. 1t would be
difficult to classify the style of its ar
chitecture for the reason that it is
combination of the old-fas hioned farm
house and the modern summer cottage.
Senator Henderson having had it remod-
eled when he purchased the property
four years ago. 1t is two stories in
height, after the style of many southern
houses, and there are porches and yer.
andas on all sides. The house is furnish
ed handsomely throughout. although the
Henderson family has spent very little
time there

TEXAS TO THE RESCUE
Ex- Sherif Cunningham's Friends
Flocking to Wichita.

Wichita, May 20-Today at least 20
staunch friends of ex-Sheriff J. V. Gun
ningham of Taylor county have ar
rived here to be present at the trial
for the killing of Jos. B. Mcmahon, the
circus man.
United States Marshal Love of the
northern district of Texas, under whom
Cunningham is a deputy. and Sheriff
Ben F. CabelI of Dallas, Sheriffs Bell
of Hill county, White of Travis and
Beckett of Milan and United States
Marshal Williams of the east district of
Texas are of the number Cunning
ham will not lack for Texas aid in his
troubles in Kansas.
Sheriff CabelI said: The Kansas au-
thOrities have had lawyers and detec-
tives in Texas looking up testimony to
use in the prosecution. No friend of
Cunningham coud desire anything bet
ter than that, for no man ever lived
in this state who bore a more honor
able record
If the truth is all that the Kansas
authorities try to gather in this state,
it can but help Cunningham. He is
the only Texas Sheriff in whose behalf
every living governor in Texas has
signed a paper testifying to his char
acter as being above reproach. His
record for more than 80 years-as a
state ranger. a sheriff, deputy United
States marshal and in other positions
has not a demerit mark against it"

CooLEY's WONDERFUL CATCH
Cincinnati Paper Tells of a Sensation
al Play by the Quaker OutfieIder.

The Cincinnati Commercial-Tribu
of the 18th says of a sensational catch
of Dick Cooley:
The sensational feature of the game
was running catch of a line drive by
Cooley from McPhee's bat. with one
man out and second and third base
occupied, on which Hoy was doubled
up. 1t occurred in the seventh in
ming.
Cross error and a base on balls and
a double steal had place Burke and
Hoy on the bases after one man had
been retired. McPhee drove a ball on
a line to center. Cooley, who was
playing deep, started with the ball and
dove at least four feet forward while
on run, caught the ball. and after
turning a sOmersauIt threw out Hoy~aat
second. 1t was one of the most SEN
sational catches seen on the Cincinnati
grounds, and Dick was loudly cheered
by the crowd. That catch robbed the
Reds out of at least two runs.
