IR Cook who sleeps in the store was
aroused by the presence Of a man in the

The bullet holes in the desk and walls

The frightened man went through the

out. AS he gained his feet he started to
meet the spectators and met the officers
and fell into their embrace and was
landed in Jail.
The cash tills of the store were found
to have been broken open and robbed OF
one dollar, all that was left in them.
The accused, when arraigned Thursday
morning gave his name as James Guy.
He claims to have Just arrived the even

the time of his arrest.
Lawyer Mcdonald defended the pris-
oner at the bar. The evidence OF the
prosecuting witnesses was very positive.
The defense offered no testimony. Judge
Sweet committed the prisoner to the Gus

Mr.. Anderson said: 1.-THE provisions
of this section are not satisfactory to
me. I'll explain. Topeka has the largest
milling industry in the state. A few
days ago one of our mills received an
order for ten cars of wheat from Edin-

to Kansas City and engaged ten cars of
wheat to protect themselves, in case
they could not get it on the local mar
