UNDER THE CARPET.
Hutchinson Woman Has Plans
to Liberate RefOrmatOry
Inmates.

Hutchinson, Aug. 13.-One Of the re-
formatOry guards, H. J. Roberts, has
arrived from the territory with Jack
Monroe, a paroIed man, who has been
of late a member of an outlaw gang.
Monroe, as he called himself here, is a
mystery. No one knows who he is or
where he came from. He claims New
Orleans as his native city but all of his
statements are looked upon with doubt.
He is undoubtedly of Spanish origin
and that is about all that can be known
OF MIN. He was convicted of burglary
and larceny in Usage City, but was
tramping through there at the time Of
his offense. Some time last spring he
was parOled from the reformatOry and
about month later, violated the terms
of the parole by leaving the state. A
short time ago the officers of the refor-
matOry got a hint of MOnrOe'S where
abOuts, also obtained information re-
gardtng letters sent to this city which
were to be delivered by a. Hutchinson
woman to inmates of the refOrmatOry.
Sufficient information was gained to
warrant the officials in demanding the
letters, which they did. The woman,
whose name is withheld for the present,
at first denied any knowledge of the
letters. But finding the officials had
proof OF their existence, finally took up
a corner of a carpet at her house and
brought the letters from their hiding
place.
From these letters something of Mon
has evidently been associated with a
band of outlaws. and was connected
with a robbery at Wichita and with
others in the territory. In one letter
he writes that he had just experienced
the sensation of riding ahead Of Win
chesters and lodging bullets but had
gotten away all right.
The most sensational thing disclosed
by the letters was Monroe's plan to re-
turn to Hutchinson and nberate in
mates of the reformatory. These plans
were discussed in the correspondence.
Monroe was to come to Hutchinson pre-
pared to unlock the outer doors and en-
ter the refOrnatory. Certain boys In
the institution were to be liberated
from their cells and taken away to join
MOnroe's band. Keys were to be sup
piled wherever needed and plans were
laid to stop any interference that might
occur. In one of the letters Monroe
speaks of a recent reward offered for
his capture, but says he does not know
whether it is for a, job done in Kansas
or for one that he was connectedawith
I in the territory.

Fought With Pistols in Regulation
Style.

St. Louis, Mo, Aug. IA special to
the Republic from Ell Paso, Texas, says:
Ramon Gomez and Antonio Velarie,
two Mexican citizens of this city fought
duel with pistols until one Tell badly
wounded. The duel was the outcome of
an old feud. Velarie became the enemy
of Gomez three years ago, when the lat
ter eloped with the formers sister and
was married. They met by pre-arrange-
ment with seconds, and emptied their
pistols at each other until Gomez fell,
wounded in the knee and shin. At this
moment his wife came upon the scene
and flew at her brother like a tigress
and was with difficulty flung aside. A
mounted policeman gallOped up and
arrested Gomez and his second but
Velarie escaped. Later GOmez's leg was
amnutated.
