chased the drug that ended his life. At

made the clerk stated that he sold Tebsv
twenty-five grains of morphine, after ques-
tioning his customer if he understood how
TO use the drug. Tebay answered that
he did, as he had used it often when he
had cramps.
The man has been lying at the undertake

get what information could be gathered
concerning the mans connections, If any
were to be obtained. The officials decided

BRADLEY HAS GONE
Electric Light Engineer Has
Left for Chicago.
WORK HAS STOPPED
Street Railway Matters at a
StandStiIl Here.

Colonel Bradley, civil engineer Of ]. Holt
Gates & Co. osChicago, who has been in
the city for several weeks past, making
a plat and experimenting the layout of
the new electric light system, left for
Chicago Sunday night. The companys
work has been brought to a standstill in
the city for some reason that cannot be
definitely learned from the officials who
claim to be in the dark so far as knowing
anything about the other end of the
string that IS now being pulled. It was
learned yesterday that many kilograms
had been passing back and forth between
this city and Chicago, as well as Boston,
but no one would say whether any word
had been received, replying to the ques-
tons that were asked Of the head officials.
1t has been rumored that there is hitch
somewhere between the promoters and
the contractors. One gentleman, well up
in knowledge of the inside workings of the
company, has reported that the blame
does not lie with the contractors, who
have on hand, ready to ship to this or any
other place they may have contract,
over a hundred cars of iron and steel, be-
sides all necessary material for building
an electric steel railway. He also claims
that the delay in the case Of the Wichita
street railway seems to be in the fact
that J. Holt Gates &, Co. want TO see the
color of the promoters cash. 1t was ru-
mored last week that something would
turn up in the way of machinery and APP
paratus for the lighting plant. but upon
inquiries being made at the local office of
the general manager, the only informa
ton that could he learned was that they
were waiting TO hear from the Boston Of
flee. and that nothing had come by mail
or telegraph that could be considered very
encouragi When a reporter for the
Eagle called upon Mayor Ross to get his
views on the prospect of getting street
railway and lighting plant by April l he
simply said: I'VE are taking it easy, wait
ing to get our hands on that $4,000 The
city can wait a little while if the street
car people can stand it. But he exclaim-
ed, you can wager that the company will
never get their hands on it and no more
concessions from me as mayor. and I do
not think from the council"
