PADDY SHEA ASKED
BY Chief Cubbon to Explain
Ugly Incident
ON SOUTH FOURTH AVENUE
Officer Cairns and Shea Meet
With Guns.

Paddy Shea was brought up before
Chief of Police Cubbon yesterday to ex-
plain an incident that occurred between
him and Officer Jim Cairns on South
Fourth avenue yesterday morning about
half past two o'clock. Mr.. Cairns was
also present.
1t appears that Cairns was going down
South Fourth to see about some difficulty
that had been reported in the third or
fourth block When in the second block,
dr. Cairns says, two men began to fol-
low him, or rather walked down the mid
die Of the street in the same direction
he was going. He paid no particular at
tention to it at first, but the men gained
on him very rapidly. It was very dark
and Mr.. Cairns could hardly see the men
twenty feet but he could hear them
walking. 1t appeared that there were
two of the men. When they had sp-
preached within five or six feet OF Cairns
the officer heard something Ike the click
Of trigger, and he faced about. Throw
ing his gun out and almost toIch'ng che
of the men, he said: ''What arc you fol-
lowing me for?" The second man Lad en-
the turn of the officer run to the side
walk. Mr.. Cairnes saw that the man he
had his gun against was Paddy Shea.
Shea said he didn't know that it was
Cairns that he had run onto. He ad-
mitted that he had gun in his hand and
was ready to shoot. The men both rec
ognized each other about the same time,
or one Of them, or maybe both, would
have been killed. Mr.. Shea explained his
actions by saying that he thought some
body was laying for him. probably some
member Of the Dawson gang. He made
the statement that he ran up against
Cairns, but he was fatty disputed by
Cairns, who said: you followed me for
a hundred feet, and you know it,
Shea also claimed that the second man
was not within ten feet Of him. Shea in
sisted that he thought some one was lay
ing for him. He insists, too, that he was
not following Cairns, but getting away
from somebody else. When Cairns throw
his gun against Shea, in fash Shea
let his gun drop to his side, for the men
recognized each other. Chief Cubbon pro-
posed to lock Shea up upon a positive
statement from Cairns that a hold-up
was being planned or attempted but Mr..
Cairns said that he only knew that Mr..
Shea was coming down the street behind
him and had a gun in his hand.

SOUP FOR SINGERS
What Lambardi Opera People Ate for
Lunch.

Four members of the Lambardi italian
Grand Opera company went to Pulls res
taurant for lunch after the play Tuesday
night One of the men called, in gesticu-
latiens which nobody on earth but Henry
Hooker could understand, for eight raw
eggs. He broke the shells, poured the
yelks of the eggs into a bowl and beat
them for five minutes. Then he put in
half a bowl Of sugar. Then they called
for a quart OF creamed coffee. This
coffee they poured in on the eggs. and
then the deeocion was passed around,
each singer taking a good swig at it.
Henry Hooker, the night manager, who
is as good a restaurant man as ever came
to Wichita and who knows as many Of
the culinary combinations used in Amer
ica, was paralyzed. He asked one Of the
men on the quiet what they called thai
dish, and the fellow looked consequent
tial and said something in Italian which
Henry interpreted to be "Sooperetto de
Singeretto." Henry's italian dictionary
says this means Singers Soup"

Here's a
Deceiving Over
coat

It looks like a twenty-five dol
lar made-to measure garment, but
we sell it for SIS.
It's cut after an idea we've
had for some time-a triHe longer
than the regular top coats, but
not long enough to interfere with
your legs when walking.
The cloth is "Hockanum" un-
finished worsted, heavyweight
(28 ounces to the yard), and the
lining is the heaviest twilled
double warp Italiens. It is self
faced back to and around the
arm-ho1es, the sleeves are lined
with guaranteed satin, the collar
is silk velvet, and the two lower
pockets are deep pile velour.
The color is oxford, a good neu-
trail shade that doesn't readily soil.
It has been so skillfully tailored
that there is acertain individuality
about It that stamps it swell"
and exclusive. We think It is
worth every penny of the price,
else we wouldn't be willing to
buy it back for just what you
paid for it if 1t wasn't satisfac-
tory. Now, would we ?

THEY WANT DAMAGES
Farmers Along the Cowskin
Sue Rock Island Railroad.
CROPS WERE OVERLOOKED
BY Back Water Caused by
Company's Roadbed.

Three damage suits were filed in the
district court against the Chicago, Rock
Island and Pacific Railway company yes
terday as a result of the big overflow
along the Cowskin creek, near Haysville
last May. 1t viii be remembered that
nearly the entire country along the creek
was overiowed. and the crops of many
Of the farmers in that section were ruined.
Numerous damage suits were threatened
then, but the farmers thought they would
be able to compromise the matter with
the railroad company and thus avoid the
courts Yesterday J. F. Eager, Caleb
Shaw and II. c. Watkins fled their Pc
titions at the same time, through their
attorneys, Amidon g. Comfy. asking dam
ages for their respective crops which were
ruined by the high waters. From their
petitions it seems that the Rock Island
road crosses the Cowskin, a natural
stream. near Haysville, and in making
the roadbed over the Cowskin 1.-THE COM
pany made deep excavations on each side
of the roadbed and also threw-up en-
bankments on which the track was laid,
Of sufficient height to stop the flow of
water in the creek. The natural flow OF
water. it is alleged. is permanently
stopped by these embankments. 1t is said
the company placed culverts In the Cow
skin where the road crosses, but that
these culverts were totally inadequate to

causing the water to back and overflow
the adjacent lands at all times when there
was any great amount Of Hueer flowing
in the creek. Near Haysville, where the
railroad crosses the creek, ii is alleged
that no culvert whatever is placed in the
creek and that the flow Of water is COM
pletely stopped.
Mr.. Eager is owner OF section OF land
near Haysville. some OF which was over

he alleges was through the fault OF the

"Aunt Poll" Barnett, of Linton, the
most picturesque character in Indiana,
who 80 years ago sacrificed home, all
social ties, and all that there was in
life to search for her daughter, is near
ing her end. Those who see the old
woman now, a wanderer without a
home, roof, or money, keeping up a
search which is continuous, sleeping in
boxes, under trees, and in the open,
can little realize that 80 years ago she
was woman of culture and refinement.
The daughter was just reaching woman
hood and her disappearance was n
complete mystery. Mrs. Barnett al
ways believed she was murdered and
she began to dig along the streams and
in the woods. She cries and calls for
hermissing daughter even more piteous-
ly than she did 80 years ago,

Two Deaths From Typhoid Fever at tho

More Arc Ill.

LEXINGTON, KY. Nov. Is. Nearly 40
students of the kentucky university
have typhoid fever, and it has become
necessary for the faculty to take de-
cded steps toward checking it, The
students have been sent to che Good
samaritan hospital, but since there is
40 more room at that institution it has
become necessary to care for them at
their boardinghouses. Oscar Martin,
aged 81, single, a Bible student died
Monday, and Monday night his re-
mains were sent to PIantersville. Ala,
in charge of his parents. a week ago
another Bible student, j. Il. Ford, of
But er, Mo-, died.
The cause was at first attributed to
the water, but now some members of
the faculty believe it Y : due to milk
from cows fed on distiilery slop.
President Cave says that the epi-
dcmic has been checked and there
is no further cause for alarm, and
that every one ot the patients is now
rapidly improving. The dormitory
building is quite old and some believe
that the fever germs are in the walls
of the building. although it is kept as
clean and is as well preserved az it is
possible to have it. The is the hum

Renters, who live on their dividends,
