SKIPPED WITH THE CASH
Mr.. HibbIts says This Is what HIS
PaFtuaF Did

Horace Steinberger, formerly a partner
with Jean Hibbits in the grocery and meat
market business at the corner Of Douglas
and Fourth avenue, left the city suddenly
! Sunday evening and has not been heard OF
)since. According to Mr.. Hfbbfts' story
of the disappearance, Mr.. Steinberger has
dampened the lustre Of his reputation in
an effort to get away with funds not
rightly belonging to him A few months
ago Steinberger and Mr., Hibbits engaged
in business as partners, Mr., Hibbits claim
ing TO have furnished all Of the money,
while Steinberger was to contribute his
experience as a first-class butcher and
meat-cutter. They were TO divide the
profit of the business equally. Business
went fairly well. Sunday night, however.
Eteinberger, closed up the shop and sent
the keys to Mr.. Hibbits, with the word
that ne had left town for a short time.
He never came back. Mr.. Hibbits says
Eteinberger took all the money left in the
money drawer Saturday night, besides
taking a fine gold-nugget charm worth
about $17 and an umbrella to protect him
from the hot sun. Mr.. Hibbits says now
that he is satisfied that Steinberger was
knocking down. all the time, as he
seemed to have had plenty Of money and
played the slot machines a great DEAL
Mr.. Hibbits, after thorough search. says
ne has every reason to believe that Stein
berger is in Kansas City,, Mo-, in COM
pany with a grass widow who Is alleged
20 have followed him from Wichita.

IN BANKRUPT COURT.
/ NJ. Crawford Assigns in
Favor of Creditors.
NEARLY HALF A MILLION
OF Secured and Unsecured
Liabilities Against Him.

l. n. Crawford. owner Of the Crawford
brera house in Wichita and the proprie-
tor Of the Crawford circuit in Kansas,
filed petition in bankruptcy In the United
States district court at Topeka yester-
day afternoon. His unsecured liabilities
amount to $SSS.OOO and those on which
there Is some security amount to $3.50,
making a total Of $ssS.OOO. The creditors
have from 500 to $4,000 each against Mr..
Crawford
No particulars as to changes and dispo-
sltIOn Of the property are definitely known
in the case yet, but 1t probably means a
reorganization of the Crawford Opero
House circuit There win probably be no
material change in the local management
of the different houses, but It Is said
that the circuit will be extended to in
clude some other important points. The
circuit now includes Wichita, Topeka,
Leavenworth and Atchison. When reor-
ganized 1t will probably be extended TO in
Guide Oklahoma City and Guthrie and
that win give ali these cities an oppor-
tunity to get more Of the larger compan-
les without the preliminary Of a guaran-
tee. Theatrical companies now go south
from st. Louis or Kansas City, taking in
New Orleans. Houston and Dallas. From
Texas they either go on west or double
back to Kansas City and go by way Of
Topeka to Denver. II a circuit is set up
from Kansas City to Texas, companies
VIII then have houses enough to make It
an inducement for them to come up this
way from Texas or down this way from
Kansas City.
Mr.. Martling, the local manager OF the
Crawford house here, is out of the city
and could not be reached last night, but
it Is probable that some material changes
will be made in Wichita amusement pro-
grams hereafter.

AT THE POINT OF A GUN
Father Takes n Child Once In Wichita
Orphans Home.

The little girl that was taken from its
adopted mother north OF Emporia Tues
day at the point OF gun, was once In
the Wichita Children's Home and was
brought here by Mrs. Williams OF Clark
COUNTY a year ago. James McClain. the
little girls father, had been hunting his
child for three years In 1895 his wife de-
serted him and took with her their only
child. They lived near Springfield, Mo.
After deserving her husband Mrs. Mccain
came to Kansas and located In Clark
county where she obtained divorce from
her husband AMI had again married. after
which she left her child with a Margaret
Williams.
Mrs. Williams becoming tired of the
child, took It to the Wichita Children's
Home, and so informed the mother. The
latter wrote to the authorities OF the
home that the child's father had been
killed in a railroad accident. During all
this time the father had Oeen hunting
his child, and only last week had traced
It to the home OF ]. G. FuQwl. north OF
Emporia, where he feared that they had
legally adopted IT. He asked them for the
child. They refused TO give It up.
McClain went TO Emporia and got out a
writ of habeas corpus. The case was to
have been heard on Thursday. The
Fuquas claimed $500 for care of the child
The father, It seems, became impatient or
feared the law would not give him HE
child. so Tuesday night he drove out to
the Fuqua farm, found the lady OF the
house alone, demanded the child. which
Mrs. Fuqua grabbed up in her arms and
for time succeeded in keeping II from
him. Finally the father. after considerable
struggle. pulled a revolver, placed 1t to
Mrs. Fuqua's temple and threatened to
blow out her brains Il she did not at
once let go of the child. He then placed
the child in a carriage and disappeared.
AS soon as possible word was sent to En-
poria and a warrant sworn out for Nc
Claim but so far he has not been heard

Poisoning

Mrs. Minnie Sasher, wife of W. NJ.
Sasher, a commercial Traveller, died yes
terday afternoon at O'Clock at the Wich-

worst form.
Mrs. Sasher was brought to the hospital
here about eight days ago put there was
little hope from the start of effecting a

KISSING BUG IS HERE
Visited a Household on College Hill
Yesterday Afternoon.

A kissing bug. the first in Wichita. ap-
peared in a College Hill home yesterday
and bit a member of the household, a
woman, on the upper lip twice. The one
attacked was asleep at the time, but after
wards saw the bug humming over the
bed. It is much larger than the mosquito,
and something similar to it in appearance.
This bug was flying up and down IN al
most a perpendicular line. 1t was not
captured.
For an hour the two bites were not no
ticeable, and did not result in any par
ticular sensation. Then they began to
pain and the flesh around them to swell.
There was no itching sensation. and the
pain Is like that from a thorn. A case
Is reported at Oklahoma City also. A
week ago the pest was only known to the
Atlantic coast. Last Saturday two cases
were recorded in Indiana and the bug has
reached this portion Of the country. 1t is
said they bite only on the lips. A screen.
IL secure, will exclude them.

PRESIDENT ROBINSON

hOma's Wheat Crop.

D. B. Robinson, president Of the st.
Louis and San Francisco road, Is author
ity for the statement that the whea. crop
of Oklahoma, which is being harvested,
will amount to 100000 bushels. AMI that
the cotton crop will aggregate 100000
bales. The winter wheat crop of Kansas
he estimates at S, 900 bushels and the
partial failure of that crop will be more
than covered by the increased acreage of
corn. rye and other grains, which Will
be just as profitable for the raIlro ais to
carry. In Missouri the activity Is g'Cater
than IT ever has been. Prices have al
most doubled on these products, and this
has stimulated production. AS result
the tonnage has greatly increased. The
west bound movement of threshing ma
chimes is now unusually large, and alto
gether railroad interests in Southwe tern
territory are in a nexceedingly fiourishing
condition.

RAN INTO A DITCH
Santa Fe Engine and Three
Cars Go Down.
BRIDGE BURNED OUT
Great Loss of Property and
Life Narrowly Averted.
BURNED OUT

The burning of a bridge on the Santa
Fe near the Burton car works caused the
wreck of an extra freight train yesterday
morning. and the escape Of the engineer
and fireman was only effected by the
engine reaching safe ground on this side
OF the bridge before the structure went
down. The train was in charge Of Con-
ductor Fogerty and Engineer Becker Mr..
Becker said he did not notice the burn
ing of the bridge until the engine reach
ed 1t, when he saw smoke coming from
below. No flames were visible at that
time, but the engineer knew the bridge
was on fire, and he could feel the engine
sinking as 1t crossed the weakened tim
bers. Just as the engine got of the
bridge the structure gave way and the
tender and two cars went into the ditch
and the third car was turned over on fits
side, but was not 50 badly damaged as
the others. The engine struck spreading
rails, which had been affected by the heat
and ran aground, but the engineer and
fireman had reversed It and managed to
jump without injury to themselves. The
first car behind the tender was heavily
loaded with cement and sank heavily into
the ditch and is a total loss. Consider
able of the track was torn up, and II
took the wrecking crew until / o'clock
yesterday to clear away the wreck, and
the morning Santa Fe train. No. 407, did
not get into the union depot until nearly
o'clock
The origin Of the fire Is not known. II
is thought, however, that the bridge was
set on fire by tramps who have been in
the habit of lettering about the packing
houses and Burton car works. The tim
bers of the bridge were very damp from
the recent rains and did not burn rapidly
until after the cars went down. after
which flames broke out and burned furi-
ously for awhile. making 1t difficult for
the wrecking crew to work. Engineer
Becker said the train was running I'M
commonly slow and he now thanks his
stars that he was running slow, for fast

The engine was pulled up about o'clock
and taken to the shops. a bad looking
