The world has been a university to such

ANOTHER MYSTERIOUS SHOOTER
Someone sent a Bullet Through Rock
Island Smoker

Last evening an unknown person sent
a bullet through the smoker Of the Rock
Island as it was crossing Second street.
The bullet entered one Of the windows
on the left side and struck the casing on
the opposite side of the car. This casing
IS Of hard cherry and the bullet did not
bury itself, but rebounded.
A man was sitting in the seat just
ahead OF where the bullet struck and
when it bounced back 1t hit his arm
hard enough TO cause a sharp pain.
Where the bullet entred it made but q
very small hole in the window which
would Indicate that it tcaTne with consid-
cradle force.
Some Of the passengers noticed a gang
of boys standing in the street when the
train passed. but paid no attention II
them. The train was going AZ a fair rate
Of speed and before any of the pasSen-
gers recovered their presence Of mind
they were too far past to see # it was
one Of the boys who had fired the shot.
About two months ago some one shot
though the smoker on the south bound
Santa Fe train at Second street, and
the police officers think that the sane
ang Of boys fired at both the trains.

BRIDGES ARE LOCATED
City and Railway 60. Select Perma-
nent sites Yesterday.

The loca ton for the street railway
bridges in Riverside park has at last
been settled. Yesterday Mayor Ross,
rty Engineer Jackson and the street rail-
way officials went out to the park and
selected the location. As was previous
~ stated in the Eagle, the bridges will
a4 about two hunded feet west of the
present bridges. The line will run west
20 the park on Central avenue and then
directly north to Eleventh street where
there will be a loop. 1t has been decided
ssot to extend the line to the corner Of
Thirteenth street and Fairview avenue
as was at first planned. The contract
lot She bridges wiz be let at once as the
company inteS3 - nave the line open
during the early part of the summer.
A car load Of bolts for the joints were
received yesterday. a telegram was re-
ceived from the firm who are furnishing
the motors for the second hand cars,
saying that they would forward moters
for four cars on next Monday. These
motors VIII be shipped to Cincinnati and
put on the cars. Mr.. Nelson said yes
terday that these four cars would prob
ably be here by the 4th or 5th Of March,
but it would be impossible to run them
until some of the new track had been
completed. These cars are OF the one
end vestbule style They will be equip
ped with two 25-horse power motors and
are expected 10 make an average speed
of twelve miles an hour and as much
faster as may be desired.

ENOCH- MITCHELL SUIT
Set for Trial April q, in the Supreme
Court

The Enoch-Mitchell police judge contro-
versy, which has been shifted to the su-
preme court, has been set for trial there
on April 6. This IS one of the most i'm
porfant cases in the state to cities of the
first class which are operating under the
new police law. At present Atchison is
wrought up with the same fight, the ap-
pointive power claiming the office of po-
lice Judge is not elective and the other
fellows holding that it is. In this city
there seems to be no contention on this
poiat. the case in point being brought
merely 10 Gust Judge Mitchell, who, as an
appointee, at the time of the law went
fEto effect, claims the right to hold the
balance Of the term for which ne was
appointed. Mr.. Enoch, having been elect
ed police judge last spring, claims that he
was entitled 10 the Office from the time
he qualified.

GREAT GRAIN MARKET
Wichita Will be Able to Handle
Kansas Cereals.
NEW ELEVATORS GOING UP
Freight Rate DiscriminatiOns
Have Been Removed.

By next fall Wichita will be IN po-
sition to DO a big grain business. The
prospects now are that there Will be at
least three elevators built in this city
during the coming summer. Together
they viii probably have a capacity of
about 10000 bushels.
The ct l." Elevator Co., are at work
on their new elevator which viii be just
south of the Rock Island freight depot
It will have a storage capacity Of $1,000
bushels and a handling capacity Of about
u cars in day Of ten hours. By handling
is ment unloading, cleaning and reload
ing. All this work will be done by ma
chinery. With their steam shovels they
Will be able to unload a car in about
thirty minutes.
Most Of this company's buying points
will be either on the Rock Island or on
the Santa Fe. Arrangements have been
made with the Santa Fe people TO trans
fer all cars to the Rock Island to be set
at the elevator But when this grain
the Santa Fe for further shipment.
This firm has had an Office here for
some time and have been doing consid-
cradle business; but they expect to do
a great deal more as soon as their ele-
vator is in operation.
The Wichita Elevator Co., is another
new grain firm in The city. They have
already secured ground for the erection
Of a house, the ground being between
the Santa Fe and the Rock Island yards
and just south Of the Santa Fe freight
office. The elevator viii be Of 10000
bushels capacity and win have machin-
cry for cleaning about 20 cars a day. The
present plans are for two steam shovels
so two cars can be unIoaded at once,
and it VIII take about an hour to clean
and reload the grain.
The first car of lumber for the build
ing is being unloaded today. Work on
the foundations viii be commenced next
week, and the elevator win probably be
finished by the first of June. The firms
business viii be almost entirely done
over the Santa Fe.
Besides these two firms there are one
or two others that will undoubtedly put
up elevators, although. as yet, they have
not fully decided. Whether they build
or not, Wichita will certainly become the
grain market for the entire surrounding
country. Until recently the rates have
been so that Kansas City dealers could
buy at points west of Wichita, ship the
grain to Kansas City via Wichita, clean
and reship to gulf points at a less rate
than could Wichita dealers. But now
these discriminating rates have been
equalized and Wichita is on an equal
footing with her competitors.
