made a reputation as a sprinter. Several
days ago Sheriff Turner OF Butler county
came over to Wichita and told the off,
Gals here that a great number of farm

robbed and he was under the impression
that the thieves brought their booty 10
this city. He thought that they resided
here. Then Sutton and Massey set to
work to ferret out the thieves. Yesterday
they arrested three men. Each Of them
were found in a bagnio. The first two
caught made no resistance. The ;hrd
one was found on South Fourth avenue.

SAM SMITH
SAYS HE CANNOT UNDERSTAND
How so Many wild Stories Get
Started About Him.

Some two months ago a junk man who
makes the alleys about the business part
of Wichita was seen to drive up to the
back door Of a place on Lawrence ave-
nue. where lived some people who were
charges Of the city. This junk man made
not only one trip. but about a dozen. He
went up TO the back door with an empty
wagon and went away with a load every
time. This looked suspicious and city
officials inquired into the matter. The
city charges said they were only selling
out their little bit Of furniture and in
tended to leave the city. While the Of
ficers were there they discovered a
young man who is closely resembled by
Sam Smith. now under arrest and in the
jail here on suspicion of being connected
with the Frisco robbery. It was about
the time Smith got away from the peni-
tertiary al Leavenworth and 1t was
thought that he might have been here
gathering plumber and selling 1t TO the
junk man on the sly.
To find out about the story a repre-
sentative Of the Eagle went to Mr. Smith
at the jail yesterday and asked him if he
was ever in Wichita
4 was here about three days In 1895"
he said.
Did you ever live here?'
NO"
Smith talked very freely and said that
he did not deserve the hard things said Of
him. Il was on some private business
when 1 was arrested a Notawa," he said
and have letters and papers to prove
it. 1 was at home near Belle PLANE on
the night of the Frisco robbery. The
time when the papers said I was shoot
ing cattle in Sumner and Cowley counties |
was on the marshal force in the Chero-
hee nation. That is a matter of record. !
can hardly see how so many wild stories |
got started about me: I didn't hear of /
tie attempt TO rob the Frisco cra.n unil |
the day before they arrested me. knee,
they were after me for getting out Of the |
oenitenuary, but didn't know of any,

Smith is just 81 years old, looks you
;tralght in the eye when he talks and |
ellis a straight sort of a story.

SHE WASN'T STOLEN
leaf Old Man Claiming He
Was From Nebraska.
LOSES HIS DAUGHTER
Says She Was Stolen But She
Simply Quit the Family.

Day before yesterday an old man with
two girls and a boy camped in the yard
near Lawson's barn on West Douglas
avenue. The Oldest Of the children was
a girl perhaps fourteen or fifteen. The
man gave his name as Benton, and said
he was from Nebraska He mad three
ponies. a covered wagon and the gem
eral outfit Of a mover or an itinerant
horse trader. He did not say whether
he was from any particular place in
Nebraska or from the state in general
However that may be, the old man is in
trouble.
The older of his two girls is missing.
and ne is in a vain pursuit. Where ne is
no one knows. but probably driving fran
tically through the hot sun in search Of
his child.
He says she has eloped with a young
man here in Wichita who IS described
about as follows: Five feet six inches
nigh, red, shy mustache, red hair, weighs
l45 pounds and is nice appearing. He
owns mouse colored mule, little pony
and maybe old man Benton's girl.
TN horsewhip him. the dirty whelp."
the old man said. If ever get hold of
him I'll whip the last bit Of hide of him.
He mas induced Lottie to run away with
him and, on I'll give him the right sort
OF music if ever get eyes on him again"
What makes you think your daugh-
Ter ran away with this fellow?"
Well, see him talking with her and
Siding around with her and now SHE'S
gone"
The old man was almost crazy. He
said that Lottie had left the wagon about
: o'clock Wednesday evening and gone
down Douglas avenue. He asked her
where she was going and followed her;
followed her down 10 Market Seeing mat
she was getting out of sight in the crowd.
he hurried up, but il was no use She
hurried along Market almost 10 First and
then broke into run. She turned east
on First in a very lively rush and dis .
appeared. The deaf old man from Ne
braska has not seen her since. Not that /
anybody knows of.
He went all over town in a frenzied |
search but didn't think of notifying the |
police till somebody told him late the |
next day.
When officers Sutton and Cairns learned |
Of the matter they found out in few /
minutes a very different tale from that
OF the old mans.
The girl went to the house OF Policeman
on South Water and told him
that her father had been beating her and
she had run away. She said she had two
dollars and was going to Kingman, wnere
some OF her relatives lived. She pro-
posed, she said. to walk out TO Cod
dard and there take the train last night
for Kingman. She probably did. At any
event she did not run away with the
young man who had been seen talking
with her and upon whom the old man
had sworn vengeance. said young man
was seen on Douglas prior to o'clock
asst night with another girl.
The old man denied the story that he
ned been abusing his daughter and in
listed that she had run away with .ne
7oung man aforementioned and described.
He left about l o'clock yesterday after
loon going south, he said, to find Lottie.

Mr.. Joe Toller, baggage master on

most undesirab BILE experience Tuesday
night and narrowly escaped serious
and perhaps fatal injury. AS the train
was passing Moore's Junction he went
out on top of a box car, where num-
Der of fellows were stealing a ride.
While standing up on the car he was
struck on the head by telegraph wire
which was hanging low across the
track, and but for the timely help OF
one of the men he had intended to put
off the train, would certainly have
been thrown to the ground. A long
cash was cut in his cheek and head by
the wire, but he was not otherwise in
jured. 1t is needless to say that the
man who saved him got his free ride,
