MORE STUPIDITY.
Patrolman Berry Shoots at Jack
Tasker But Fortunately Misses

PatrOlman J. P. Berry of the Topeka
police force gave an exhibition of stu
p4dity last night which might have re-
suited seriously for Jack TaSker,
young man well known in Topeka who
is employed in the Santa Fe Offices. The
only thing that saved the young man
was the bad aim of the officer.
Mr.. Tasker had been calling on a
young lady, who lives between Seventh
and Eighth streets on Topeka avenue,
and about 1880 he started home He
lives at 1858 Clay street and decided to
walk Just after he had left the home
of the young lady he noticed the figure
of q man across the street. who SEEM
ed to be watching him The actions of
the Individual attracted his attention,
and he walked slowly up Topeka ave
nue., meanwhile keeping his eye on the
figure, which now seemed to be follow
ing him
This naturally made Mr.. Tasker some
what nervous. and he examined the
man closely to try to discover if he was
a policeman and he came to the con-
clusion that he was not, as he wore
heavy coat which enveIoped his entire
figure
As the young man approached the
United Presbyterian church and was in
the shadow, the man he now took to be
d footpad. quickened his step and at
the same time shouted:
You are the man l want
Il guess not replied Mr.. TaSker, now
thoroughly alarmed
Halt You are the man I want,
again cried the man.
Mr. Tasker turned east on Eighth
street and walked rapidly, but when he
looked back the man was still follow
ing He was then about so feet away
and the next thing the young man
heard was the report of a. revolver The
bullet whizZed by him, and he took to
his heels He ran to Kansas avenue,
where he boarded a car for home
Policeman Berry turned in a report
that a white man was going along To-
aEHnIIE1 irving the doors of houses
and when he tried to arrest him. he eS-
capped and though he shot at the sup
posed burglar, he outran him and was
lost in the crowd on Kansas avenue.

AN RESURRECTION
In Mcpherson County That Bodies III
to James Simpson.

Jim Simpson, chairman of the Repub-
Ecan state committee, who has been
turned down for several years in sue
cession as a candidate for delegate to
the state convention in his home cOun-
ty, has succeeded in naming McPher-
son county's delegates to the state and
congressional conventions in the coun-
ty convention Saturday and thereby
caused a hopeless split in the ranks OF
the party
A committee of seven was chosen to
name the delegates and it was discov-
cred that the committee was composed
of Simpson men, when, it is claimed he
had entered into solemn agreement to
permit the anti-Simpson men to have
voice in the selection of delegates
Frank Nelson. of Mcpherson county.
who is a candidate for state Superfn-
teudent, and Simpson also, promised
that there should be no contest and that
should have fair and just representation
on the delegations to be chosen With
this understanding, the ani-Sunpson
men made no fight In the various pr1-
maries and caucuSes no opposition was
offered to what was presumed to be the
Nelson plan of doing things, but when
the delegates went into the convention,
it was discovered that Simpson had,
in violation of his promises, captured
everything and he at once proceeded to
run the convention
The creduIiry of the country delegates
had been imposed upon They arrived
at the convention hall and found that
they had walked into a trap, baited and
sprung by Simpson
The convention was diSOrderIy- One
of the Republican farmers, near the
close of the convention, arose and as
sailed in vigorous language the methods
practiced by the convention which was
being manipulated by Simpson
Simpson excitedIy addressed the chair
and moved an adjournment, which was
taken amidst great confusion The re
suit IS according to the news from Nc
Pherson that Simpson has started an
other rebellion in that county and that
Frank Nelson has lost many of his good
friends at home, by lending himself to
simpsons schemes
