Guilty locating Calm. but finally found
him in st. Joseph's hospital, in bed claim
ing that he was suffering from malarial
fever.
Calm was placed under arrest and taken
to the police station and while there told
st. Joseph detectives where moSe of the
jewelry could be found. An investiga-
ton by Detectives Mcnamara and Fulks
of ST. Joseph proved that Calm had told
the truth, as the goods were recovered.
At police headquarters Calm agreed TO
accompany Sutton back to this city and
Informed the detective that Harris, the
man under arrest. still had much of the
stolen jewelry and that he also had
shipped a box of it to some other place
either in care of himself or to a certain
woman who has evidently played lead
ing hand in the planning of the robberies
and the disposition of the stolen goods.
Calm declares that the woman in the
case is the smartest of the people who did
the work and that she has been used to
dispose Of all of their booty.
Calm says he was innocent of the
charges preferred against him and de-
clares that he never saw Hartley or Har-
ris but once in his life. He also says that
Hartley sold the jewelry to him and that
is how It came into his possession.

arrested one night while disposing OF
stolen watch to a bartender.
Harris was frequently seen in company
with Calm during jubilee week. and when
Harris was arrested Gains arrest fol-
lowed a short time afterward. The latter
after being "sweated" for several hours
admitted that he had much Of the stolen
iewelry in his possession and would turn
it up if promised that he would not be
prosecuted.
As the goods stolen consisted Of
watches. rings and other jewelry which
the owners could hardly replace, they
agreed not TO prosecute Calm If their
goods were returned, and Chief Of Police
Cubbon also promised not to give them
trouble in case they could fuldl their
agreement.
Subsequently Detective Sutton told
Calm of the agreement and the latter said
that the stuff was in Topeka, whittier he
had shipped it.
Sutton accompanied Calm to Topeka
where at the Throop hotel Calm called
for his mail and a package. This pack
age contained a cigar box filed with the
stolen jewelry which Calm had expressed
from this city TO himself at Topeka SUIT
ton says he did not open the box until
after he left Calm and, he discovered
that the box contained only a small por-
ton Of the stolen jewelry.
Hartley. who was in Jail, declared that
Calm had more Of the jewelry than the
cigar box contained. and in consequence
Sutton went to 81. Joseph looking for
Calm.

SUED FOR $4,000
Geo. Landars, a Cattle King
of Harper County.
CHARGED With FRAUD
Only 1900 Out of 4,5OO
Mortgaged Cattle Found.

Yesterday morning in the federal court
Evans, BueI & Snider, st. Louis COM
mission house which also operates in
Kansas City, brought suit against George
R. Landers the cattle king Of Harper
county for the recovery Of $4,000. The
petition also requests that United States
marshal be placed in charge Of Landers'
property until the matter comes up for
hearing November 10.
Evans Buel & Snider allege that in July
1898, they loaned Landers $4,000 for "nicn
they took a mortgage on cattle and that
in July, 1898, they loaned him 5000 more,
for which they also took mortgage on cat
tie. Other loans amounted to S1l2,O0o a
few weeks ago. as it was nearing the
time to ship, Evans, Buel & Snider sent
a man to the Landers ranches in Harper
and Barber counties 10 look over the cat
tie and report the exact condition of the
herd under mortgage. The entire number
ged amounted to 45OO cattle. When
the commission agent looked around he
could find only 1900 of the cattle. Al
least 200 were missing. The matter was
reported to the house and an investigation
set on foot. Landers it is claimed, said
that all the cattle not found in the herd
had died last spring, but his creditors
claim that he sold some of them at least
and that they traced 700 of them to the
Wichita stock yards. Evans, Buel & Sni-
der ask that Landers be dispossessed OF
any control Of the property and that the
stuff be placed in the hands OF mar
shall. Deputy Fred Trigg went to Harper
yesterday and served notice on Mr.. Ian
ders that he had been sued and that his
creditors ask for receivAr for the prop
erty. Landers admitted that a great
many Of the cattle were missing, but
states that they died last spring. Landers
had big ranches in Harper and Barber
counties and was accounted a safe man.
He got all the money he wanted and was
supposed to be worth at least $4,000.
He went to Kansas City last night and
will attempt to straighten up the matter.
His deals have been some of the largest
transactions in southern Kansas and this
suit will come as a surprise.

ct am innocent of the charge and can
easily prove it," said Calm 10 reporter.
Il will explain the case at the proper
time, and while this affair has ruined my
chances in St. Joseph, l do not feel al
badly on my own account as 1 do for my
relatives. who live there, and who are
good people in that city
Calm is quite well known to the retali
merchants here, making this city on his
regular trips. He had often been in Chief
Cubbon's store on business and knew the
chief by sight. When first arrested the
prisoners were put in different cells. and
the fact Of their wanting to get together
so badly gave the police feeling of Ger
tainty that the men were guilty.
The working up of this case and secur-
ing the return Of the valuables IS an
other one of the good jobs Of detective
work TO be credited to the police depart
ment. and especially to Sutton and
Massey.

lad A SHODDY PARTNER

Lee Calm, travelling salesman for the
Doniphan Confectionery company Of ST.
Joseph, and H. Harris, alias Hartley,
said to be a professional fakir, were ar
rested by Detective Sutton and Assistant
Chief of Police Massey. charged with
nearly all Of the bold robberies that were
committed in this city during street fair
week. Lee Calm was brought from st.
Joseph yesterday in charge of Detective
Sutton. He had gone there to recover
part Of the jeweIry alleged to have been
taken away from Wichita. Both Calm
and Hartley were released on their own
recognizance yesterday. as they had sue
ceeded in recovering nearly all of the
stuff stolen, amounting to nearly $500.
The robberies alleged to have been COM
mitted by Calm and Hartley are as fol-
lows:
DR.. w. W. Minnick's residence, oil
North Main street, where they are alleged
to have got a revolver, pair Of fine brace
lets, two watches and other small
JCNtlIy. LIE IeNOINeT was on I1dILty ,

of Tenth and Market streets, a lot of
jewelry of all descriptions.

and silver tableware, rings and three
9ocketbooks.
Tom Arnolds residence, corner Of To-
peka and Lewis, overcoat.
Residence at I'll North Topeka avenue
gold watch, bracelets and rings.
Detective Sutton found Calm in a hos
pitaI at st. Joseph, and it Is said the ar
rest caused a sensation, both at the hos
pital and in the business district of the
city, where Calm is well known, having
been connected with Doniphan Confer-
tionery company for quite awhile, and
being related to several wealthy and
highly respected merchants of st. Joseph.
Hartley was held here during Cahns
absence, because Calm was the one who
was to dig UP the valuables.
All of the bold robberIes occurred dur
ing the jubilee week, when the street
fair was on and when people were nearly
all on the streets watching parades.
Sutton and Massey suspected a fellow
named Harris, alias Hartley, a CRATER"
and "fakir." who had been known as a
house breaker in addition TO his other ac-
complishments, and consequently he was
