JUDGE PRICES FINE MEMORY
Instance Of 1t Is Given in Wichita
Yesterday

| Judge Price of the Short Grass country
was in Wichita yesterday. 1t will be re-
membered that Judge Price about a year
ago surprised all Kansas by going tc
Ohio. Everybody predicted he would
come back and come back he did.
There is something in the Kansas
atmosphere, and the Kansas people" he
said yesterday, that one cannot resist.
We all love the state and its people Look
at Wichita. 1t is rusting, busting, wide
awake. Take an eastern town Of the
same size and you will find that it is sUs-
tanned wholly by manufactures and would
be nothing without them. But mere is
Wichita with all it's activity and no
manufactures to speak Of. 1t is life, the
life of the west. strong. unconse-vative
and inspiriting"
Speaking of good memories, Judge
Price has one of pure gold. Yesterday
he was introduced 10 e. T. Allen, the
street commissioner. II have me. Mr.
Allen once before" he said, fastening his
bright eyes on Allen.
''Where?" asked Mr.. Allen, in surprise
AT the Hallowell convention in lodge
City in 1890"
Allen acknowledged that he was there
but he is still wondering at Judge Prices
faculty for remembering faces and
names

WANTED ON FIVE COUNTS
Sheriff Simmons Has Several Re-
quests for zEcCOy.

Sheriff Simmons received a letter yes
terday from County Attorney Museller at
Perry, Q. T., concerning Chas. Mccoy,
who is held here on the charge of steal
ing a team of mules in this city some
weeks ago.
Attorney Museller states that Mccoy is
wanted in Perry on three distinct charges
and sends a picture in his letter so that
there may be no question as to his iden-
tity. The charges are for larceny, etc.
The officers at Ell Dorado want Mccoy on
two charges. one is house breaking and
the other that of breaking jail. Mccoy
was is known as Mcclure at that place,
broke out of Jail on one Sunday afternoon
by removing stone from the wall in one
of the cells. The sheriff of Butler coun-
ty Happened to be a visitor at the Jail one
day while in the city and noticed Mccoy
in a cell. He Immediately asked about
him and requested that he be turned over
TO him when found possible.
Just what will be done about the Okla
homa matter is not known, but there can
be no doubt in regard to the identity of
the man, according to the picture. The
scene in the picture is that of woods in
the background and Mccoy stands to the
front holding a large revolver in his
hand He wears a cowboy hat and has
short beard over his face. Judging from
the picture he appears TO have desire
for the desperate style

SHOWS INCREASE
JUDGE MITCHELL's MONTaLY
STATEMENT.
s3,O32 % in Fines and FOr2eitu res
for August.

The report Of Police Judge Mitchell for
the month ending August 81 shows that
there has been collected in that depart
ment S3O32.95, which is an increase over
the previous months of the summer.
There were 29S arrests made last month
and the court fines amounted to 1913. 50.
The amount of the forfeitures for the
month was. $2659 making in all the
amount above stated
During the month of July there were
2S7 arrests and the court fines amounted
to s350.25. The forfeitures when footed
up reached the sum of $500, making a
total Of $2S5O.25.
More arrests were made last month
than on any previous month for a con-
siderable length of time. This is &C
counted for in the fact that many peo-
pie have been arrested on the charges of
riding on the sidewalk and fast driving.
While these fines are not usually large it
does not take very many of them to
reach a neat sum-
The months Of September and October
are usually busy noes among the officers,
owing to the fact that there are so many
things going on. The coming week will
have the Market fair and the Woodmens
log rollin After that will come tse
street fair and similar events and the ar
rests during these events will probably
be numerous.

KILLED IN A FIGHT
Theory of Officers Regarding
Dead Colored Man.
UNKNOWN AT WEBB CITY
Three Negro Boys Who Saw
Dead Mans Wound.
UNKNOWN AT WEBB CITY

The investigation of the death of the
the Santa Fe yards yesterday morning
was carried on yesterday and it has been
found almost 70 a certainty that his
death resulted in being struck on the
head with some instrument before being
placed on the track
1t is supposed that the man was en-
ployed by the Wallace show and was
killed in a fight which occurred just be-
fore the show trains left this city on
their way to Emporia.
Three Wichita colored boys, Fred Abel.
John Lee and another boy who has been
at work for Ex-Governor Lewelling, hired
to the show people and went to the tents
in the evening to help load the equip
nent About II O'Clock, according to
their story, a young colored man came to
them at the car just before the train left
bleeding profusely from bad wound on
his head, and asked if it looked very bad
He told the boys he had been in fight
with some white men on the show
grounds and that they had used him very
roughly. This story on the part Of the
injured man SO frightened the boys that
they decided TO leave the show, and did
80 because of the treatment which the
colored man had received. The suppo-
Eition now among the officers is that the
colored man came TO his death from the
result of the fight and was left in the
yards as the train left town.
The body was taken to Dunbar's yes
