TOOK HIS LIFE
6. L. MORE TAKES MORPHINE
He Wrote a Note to Chief Of Police
Campbell.

George L. Moore died yesterday after
noon at 800 in the Wichita Hospital from
the effects of morphine taken with sui
cIdal intent the evening before. His re-
mains were taken to Gnrs undertaking
establishment where they were prepared
for burial.
On Tuesday Moore called on Chief of
Police Campbell and had quite a long
talk with him. Mr.. Campbell knew his
family in Kentucky, but had never seen
Moore before, he having been born in
Kansas City, Mo. He said he was out
of work, but did not ask for any assist
ance. Mr.. Campbell tried to set him to
return TO his old Ahome in Kansas City.
and offered to assist him In getting there,
but the offer was declined. Chief Camp
bell did not see Moore again until he
was called to Hayford's lodging house at
217 East Douglas avenue yesterday morn
ing. Moore claimed that he was a nephew
of Mr. Campbell. This statement. Mr.
Campbell says, was erroneous, there be-
ing no relationship between them.
On Tuesday night Moore went to the
lodging house and said he wanted room
for the night, but he had only 10 cents.
He was given his supper and later Joined
group in the office and chatted until 9
o clock, when he retired for the night,
seemingly in good spirits. Yesterday
morning when he was called he gave no
response and the door was finally forced
open. He was found TO be unconscious,
breathing heavily as if suffering from
morphine poisoning. None Of the drug
was found in the room. DR.. Cave was
called and gave the usual restoratives,
and ordered that Moore be taken to the
hospital.
Moore was a man Of about 35 years of
age and had been several years ago in
the cattle business in Texas. There seems
to be no question but that adversely had
unsettled his mind, and though offered
assistance he was too proud to accept ii.
He has a brother living in Lewisburg,
Miami county, Kansas, who is said to be
in good circumstances. He also has n
sister who resides in Medicine Lodge. She
is the wife of a preacher. They were
notifi ed of his death last night.
In Moore's pocket was found little
memorandum book in which he had writ
ten a note to Chief Campbell. He is said
to have been well educated, but his or
thogra ply was bad in the note to Mr..
Campbell. It is as follows:
You can tel Chief cammel I hope he
will give these remains descent burial love
to my bros and sister 1 want John Moore
to have my Guitar. G. l. MOORE.
In the book several names were found.
On one page was Sam Gunderson, Nc
AIester On another page was Martin
Flanagan, Emporia stables. Third street.
The name of Joe Haskell also appeared.
Several pages were covered with figures
indicating that he had used it for a time
book. A memo. read Jan. %. paved a
hobo for picking cotton 50 cents" Below
this was written WILSON'S Cash Grocery,
Chandler, Ok
At a late hour last night Chief Camp
bell had not heard from Moore's relatives
and until word is received his body will
remain at Mr.. Gills.

OLD CITIZEN IN DISGRACE
Arrested Last Night and Thrown Into
Hail

Down in the city Jail this morning there
Is an old citizen of Wichita. He has
lived here almost from the starting Of
the town and until last night he was
never known to offend a neighbor or a
friend. He has been quiet, industrious,
and had accumulated quite a sum of
money from his daily wages and had de-
posted it in the Kansas National bank.
Yesterday afternoon he walked into the
bank and presented Mr.. Martin, the cash
fer. a check for the last cent he had de-
posted, amounting to $3.50. He received
the money and walked out without

WANT THE SHOPS
Board of Trade Makes a
Proposition.
TO SECURE HEADQUAR TIERS
For Missouri Pacific and Rock
Island Divisions.

The board of trade has taken up the
proposition to locate the Rock Island
shops for the Caldwell division. and the
Missouri Pacific shops at Conway Springs
here at Wichita. For two or three months
the Rock Island people have been consid-
ering the matter of removing the Rock
Island division houses and shops from
Caldwell north. The Herington-C Caldwell
division run is too short. 1t was decided
by the officials 10 increase the run by
moving the Caldwell shops north as far
as Wellington at least and the Harrington
division up to Horton.
The Caldwell shops could not be locate
at Wellington very well for the water
supply there is a serious problem. The
matter was canvassed by the road eng-
neers and division superintendent and
Wellington was voted 10 be an unfavor-
able place for the shops. There was talk
then that the shops would come TO WITCH
ita. Secretary Dean Gordon, under in
struction of the Commercial club. has
written to the road officials and informed
them that Wichita will be glad to offer
some inducements to get the shop here.
Similar letters have been written TO the
Missouri Pacific officials in regard TO NOV
wing the Missouri Pacific shops here from
Conway Springs. There is a good deal of
complaint among shippers here that they
have TO order their cars from Conway
Springs and wait for their arrival here.
Everything that is possible will be done
now to get these shops here. The road
officials are not disposed to talk about the
matter. but they admit these propositions
are being considered.
