He SKIPS THE TOWN
Music Man Immigrates Late in
the Cleaning
WITH HEAPS OF CASH
Sheriff Cannot Find Him After
Three Days Search.

! Mrs. Harrisons sweet Bells Out Of
| Out of all the harmony made and pro-
vided in the studio of the American
Guitar-Zither company in the Selects
building, there has at last been discovered
| a good sized discord. The manager of
the local branch, Mr.. Jacob Faulman, has
left for parts unknown. He left in a
hurry, rush that was made expedient
and wise by the threats of an irate father
to whose young daughter it is alleged
Faulman had offered indignities, alleged
to be very unbecoming. It is said by diff
ferent members of the local branch of
the company that Mr.. Pullman took
away with him all the way from $40 to
$500 in cash and instruments belonging
to the company, and it was learned yes
terday that Sheriff Simmons mysterious
trips to his farm near Valley Center
were in reality trips to Emporia, Newton
and Toekpa in search OF the alleged alb
sconder, Mr.. Faulman. Faulman is still
at large.
A reporter for the Eagle called at the
office of the company yesterday and learn
ed of Mr.. Faulman's rash act which in
duced him to quit the town so suddenly.
Mr.. Baum, one of the leading statesmen,
was inclined to take Faulman's part. He
said the amount of money taken would not
reach more than 49, and only four or
five zithers were Appropriated. He said
Faulman had to take these in order to get
away in time to fulfill his promise to the
father of the girl, who demanded that he
leave in twenty-four hours. The little
girl was taking lessons a the studio. One
evening, it is alleged, she went home
crying and told her parents that Mr..
Faulman had insulted her The members
Of the company say Mr.. Faulman is of
very kind and affectionate nature and that
he intended no harm to the little girl. The
father would not believe the explanations
of Mr.. Faulman or his friends, and so
Faulman was forced to leave town. In
his hurry, and in the absence of ready
funds of his own, it is said Faulman APP
propriated the company's funds. Mr.
Herbert notified Sheriff Simmons ana
ordered him to go after Faulman. He
was supposed to be at Emporia on Fri
day, but the sheriff missed him. He was
next heard of at Topeka, where there is
another branch house of the company,
but on arriving there Saturday the sheriff
failed to locate him.
Mr.. Herbert telegraphed the general
offices of the company at Kansas City,
and the manager is expected to arrive
here today to investigate the matter thor
oughly. The cash and value of the in
StrUme0tS taken was first remarked nv
Mr.. Herbert to have been in the neigh
borhood of $500.
The American Guitar-Zither company
established a branch office in this city
about month ago, and has done a large
business. From four to eight statesmen
have been employed to work the city and
they have sold hundreds of instruments
Their plan is to sell an instrument on
easy installments ana give term of

HOMICIDE AND LYNCH LAW
Southern Jurist Appeals to the
Church to DO Something

Savannah, Ga, April Sin the Georgia
state Baptist convention today Judge
George Hillyer, ex-mayor of Atlanta, and
formerly on the superior court bench, pre-
scented a report from the committee on
crime and lynchings. After reading the
report the judge gave some startling
figures upon the increase of crime urging
the consideration of the question upon the
church and suggesting that as the law
was slow the state legislative body De ap-
pealed TO to note the facts and figures
and to take action. Judge Hillyer said
that in the United States there were more
homicides than in Scotland, England and
Prussia. In 1894 there were 1000 homicides
in the United States and in 1896 there were
10000. In the past year. he said. more
homicides were committed in the United
States than men killed in Cuba and more
than fell at Gettysburg or in the Philip
pines. People were losing confidence in
the law. The press has been remarkably
quick in bringing the matter to the at
tention of the public, but the ease with
which verdicts are set aside inthe court
room and the faculty with which notorious
criminals escape punishment have
brought much of this about. The amount
Of crime is increasing. and it seems that
the criminal is the only one who has any
rights. The people lose confidence in the
effectiveness of the law. to punish GRIMM
ais. Hence the increase of lynchings.
Judge Hillyer said that although he had
twice brought this matter before the bar
association. they had taken no action He
now appealed from the bar to the church
to aid in correcting this great evil. The
resolutions call upon the legislature 10 so
amend the code Of criminal procedure
and so enlarge the powers of the courts

SHE WANTED TO DIE
Ollie Medically, Tired of Life,
Tries Suicide.
FOUR PHYSICIANS CALLED
Heroic Efforts Used With Ap-
parentIy Good Results.

Worried to desperation by remorse over
her wrongs and the fickleness of men in
high life, Ollie McNeaiy attempted suicide
at O'Clock yesterday afternoon, by TAX
ing twenty grains of morphine at her
rooms over sos East Douglas avenue. II is
more than likely that her attempt has
proved successful, for at late hour last
night there was not much evidence Of re-
turning consciousness, although four
physicians had worked hard and steadily
with her.
Ollie was considered a woman of the
world, and had lived in Wichita for nearly
eight years. About three years ago she
is said to have reformed and her folks
were sending her money from home.
After she had began to live more respecta-
bic, men in high life were attracted by
her unusual beauty and they lavished
money and attentions upon her. Finally
her most trusted admirers dropped her and
it is said that of late Ollie had becomt
very respondent over the turn of affairs.
and grew tired of life. She had often
spoken of killing herself and cautioned
her associates not to interfere when she
made the attempt. Yesterday she went
into the rooms of those living in the
building. ate dinner with them, and after
wards kissed them each goodbye. She
was a very affectionate turned girl and
her friends did not suspect anything
wrong until they discovered her almost
dead.
On Saturday she had written letter to
her parents at Bots dare, Mo-, but had
not yet mailed the letter, having left it
in care of a friend. The letter could not
be found. She is said to have often writ
ten to her parents in the little country
town, and occasionally visited them, as
she seemed to love them very much.
Nothing particularly bad could be said
about Ollie McNealy except she had made
the fatal misstep in early life that so
many girls have made, and came TO the
city to live it down in a life of the lowly
and depraved.
