LYON WAS HURT.
Popular Missouri Pacific Passenger
Man Recovering From an Ac-
cideuf

J. H. Lyon, travelling passenger
agent for the Missouri Pacific railroad
with general headquarters at Kansas
City, was in Topeka yesterday calling
on his friends
Mr.. Lyon is badly dis1gured, the re-
suit of an accident at Wichita during
the street fair last week. He was
marshal of one of the divisions of the
parade and the horse he was riding
slipped on the pavement, throwing Mr.
Lyon over two buggies to the curb
stone. He landed on his head and was
badly bruised. A black and blue spot
over his right eye, as large as the palm
of mans hand tells the story of one
place on which he fell His knees and
limbs were badly bruised too, and he
walks with great difficulty.
So great was the force of the fall
that the sword which he was wearing
was thrown from the scabbard and pro-
PEELED nearly the width of the street.

REV.MORRISON DESPERATE
The Wife Poisoner Who Is to Hang
Friday Tries to Escape.

Austin, Tex, Oct. Ex-Governor Say
ers received a telegram from the sheriff
of Wilbarger county today, stating that
Rev. A. E. Morrison, who is in jail at
Vernon, in that county, under sentence
to hang next Friday for the murder of
his wife by means of poison, made a
desperate attempt to escape Monday
night. Morrison made an assault on
the jailer. but was overcome after a
hard struggle and replaced in his cell.
Rev. MOrrison's crime excited the
widest interest, the attending circum-
stances being most remarkable. He
was minister of the Methodist church
at Vernon and had charge of a large
congregation. The remains of his wife
were exhumed and evidence of poison
clearly found, Morrison heard of this,
and, before he could be arrested, fled
to Mexico and thence went to Califor-
mia, where he was captured. He is well
known in southern Illinois. The young
woman he had planned to marry after
his wife'S death came from that state
and now lives in Topeka.

LARGER CIRCUIT.
7. M. Crawford Enlarges His Amuse
ment Field.

Mr. L. M. Crawford will leave in a
few days on trip to Salt Lake City,
Pueblo and Ell Paso. The purpose of his
visit to the respective cities viii be to
arrange for better theater facilities in
the interest of the Amusement Syndi-
cate company of this city.
The Amusement Syndicate company,
Of which Mr. o. T. Crawford is the
manager, is this season controlling the
bookings for a number of the theaters
through Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado,
and New Mexico. 1t also controls both
houses in Lincoln, and a house in Leav-
enworth and Wichita in addition to the
Crawford theater in this city. Ar
rangements will probably be made to
secure control of a theater in Omaha.
It is the intention of the manage
ment to extend the business of the
company until practically all the the
aters in the territory from the Missouri
river to IGI Paso and Salt Lake City will
be included under it's control. 1t will be
a much more extensive circuit than
that controlled by Mr.. L. NJ. Crawford
in his best theatrical days, and the
largest that has been organized in the
west.

dock at the pier this morning to take
up her anchorage and get her passen-

M'CALLEN STRIKES BACK.
Sues the Man Who oarnisheed His
Wages

W. S. McCallen, an employe of the
Santa Fe, has brought suit in the dis
trict court to recover 81, 500 damages
from S. H KilgOre- He states that Mr..
Kilgore had a claim against him for
$40, while he had a counter claim
against Kilgore to Offset the debt. He
allges that Mr.. Kilgore had a suit
brought against him in Colorado and
had his wages from the railroad COM
pany garnisheed, when as a matter of
fact, they were exempt. The Santa Fe
has a rule that when a man allows
his wages to be garnisheed he is liable
to discharge. Mr.. McCallen claims that
he suffered mental anguish, for fear
he would lose his job, to the amount of
$500; that his credit was injured an
other $500 because of his inability to
meet some of his obligations on ac-
count of the defendant tieing up his
wages, and that he suffered $500 worth
of shame and humiliation on account
of having to fall back on to his reIa-
times for help during the two months
that his wages were in garnishment
For these three reasons, he asks for
81, 500 damages.
