FOUR MEN ARRESTED
On Suspicion of Robbing
Clearwater Bank.
LITTLE CASH SECURED
Nearly $4,000 in Commercial
Paper Taken.

Shorty Wynee, Jim scanlon, Frank
Deneen and Jim Callahan were arrested
by local police officers last night on su6-
picion Of having committed the robbery
Of the State Bank at Clearwater, the
safe OF which institution was blown open
Friday night OF early yesterday morning
and 1927 in money and about $500 in
notes and other paper taken from 1t.
Scanlon and Callahan were arrested at
Linder's saloon in the packing house dis
trict about o'clock in the afternoon
They were found asleep. Deneen and
Shorty Wynee were arrested on a North
Topeka avenue car while coming down
from that vicinity. These men have been
under surveillance by Officers Sutton,
Massey and Cairns for some time, and
while the officers refuse 70 say anything
as to the particular circumstances upon
which they made the arrests, they say
the evidence points out strongly that
some Of these men, and maybe al Of
them, were implicated in the work
When Cashier William Dale went down
to the bank in Clearwater yesterday
morning he found the safe doors both
blown off and lying on opposite sides Of
the room. The force Of the explosion
wrecked the building, bulging out the
walls and breaking the windows. The
money. amounting to S127. and about 5000
in commercial paper, were gone. The
Clearwater bank makes a depository Of
the Fourth National bank in this city,
currency being shipped from here when it
is needed. On Friday Cashier Dale had
paid ont heavily on local checks, and had
about exhausted the money on hand, al
though a shipment Of $1,000 from the
Fourth National here was on its way TO
Clearwater. Judge Dale, Sam Amidon,
DR.. ". ". Cave and 4. T. Stevens Of
Clearwater are the principal stockholders
in the bank, which was only recently es-
tablished with paid up capital Of $500.
The robbers did their work quietly and
presumably escaped to Wichita on a
Missouri Pacific hand car. as the regu-
lar section car used by the section men
at Clearwater was found on the Missouri
Pacific near the Wichita and Western
crossing yesterday morning.

HOW TO STOP 1T
Merchants Could Abolish the Fast
Mail Fraud

If the commercial men who are hoo
dooed by that slow fast mail train would
resolve that 1t should be stopped and use
the power which they can control in the
shipment of goods, and in addition to
that, join in protest as body, TO the
postmaster general and to the Kansas
congressman and senators. it can be
stopped The new scheme now adopted
is instead Of holding the train at New
ton they run it on down to Arkansas
City and hold the train there under the
guise of twenty minutes for breakfast
and It is stretched out TO forty or fifty.
or as many minutes as it happens for
the train from Florence to arrive. Last
Monday morning there was seventy-flve
passengers on the train from Wichita
who had to wait for the plug in from
the Florence branch. When it did arrive
there were but two passengers aboard.
All this is done in the interest of one
newspaper. owned by the railroad, which
they are trying to bolster up in order
that they may unload it, at The same
time the government Of the United States
is paying the bill.

grievances 'to the aldermanic commit

of a similar nature, and one of them,
who appeared to be the leader in an

mending to the mayor that a public
stand be provided for hackmen on the
nearest public thoroughfare or Sc.
