Report That H. C. Mann Was
Bitten by GiIIa Monster Untrue
MERELY GOT HIS SLEEVE
Capt. McCIintock Gives News
of a Former Wichitan.

Some time ago the dispatches an
nounced from Phoenix, Arizona. that
Harry c. Mann of that city had been
bitten by a ella monster and was dying.
The fact that no subsequent dispatch was
sent led many Wichita people who knew
Mr.. Mann to believe that the first dis
patch was not true.
Yesterday Captain McClintock, of the
Rough Riders. was in Wichita on his way
home from Oklahoma City. and he was
asked if the Mann who was reported kit
ten was the Wichita Mann of early days.
1.-THE Mann to whom the dispatch re7
ferred." said CAPTAIN McCintock, was
Harry Mann who used to live in Wichita
and in Kiowa. The dispatch was exag-
gerated. The ella monster did not rea ch
Mann's arm, but got merely his coat
sleeve From this the report arose"
''What are ella monsters?"
'They are o species of large lizards.
During po't;ons Of the year their bite Is
very poisonous, like that Of the skunk
and they are really dangerous then. Of
course If the monster had reached
Mann's flesh it would have been very
serious, but as the animal did not, It
was nothing. MT. Mann I know very
well, and am happy to report him and
his family in a prosperous condition"
H. c. Mann was once a prominent ci'i-
zen here. He owned the H. Q. Burleigh
property on Murdoch avenue and later
the big tract Of land at the corner Of
Hydraulic and Douglas avenues. He went
to Arizona about fourteen years ago.

$4,000 IN RECEIPTS
From Money Order Depart
ment at Postoffce Yesterday
LARGEST DAY ON REOORD
Enid Sends Up $4,000 Sur
plus Cash Fr0mSame Source


Yesterday was & record-breaker in the
the receipts for the day having been
$4,000 several thousand dollars larger
than on any previous day in the history
of the department. Assistant Postmaster
Jewett says he knows no other day. that
the receipts came up to this amount,
which fact was disclosed by an investi-
cation of the books in the department.
This increase in the volume Of business
in the money order department shows
that the people have more money and
also demonstrates that Wichita's popuIa-
tion is larger than it was a year ago.
The sale of stamps was also quite large
yesterday.
About $1,000 was sent to this depart
ment from Enid, o. T. This amount was
taken in from the money order source. In
smaller Offices the government provides
that all surplus money shall be sent to
the nearest city of the first class, ard
the Wichita Office catches considerable
Of the surplus money in Oklahoma. This
is tremendous money order business for
Enid, and it is supposed that the farmers
down there have converted their cash
into postoffice money orders. 1t is t
generally known, but it is a fact never
theless, than many people, instead Of
depositing their money in the banks, buy
money orders and hold them. The orders
are redeemable in thirty days, subject to
renewal, and many are known to have
their money in orders for over a year.
The farmers in Oklahoma have sold con
siderable wheat and many Of them are
conveFting the money derived from the
sales into money orders, believing that
Uncle Sam is as good or even better
than the banks. For every 800 money
order it costs 80 cents, and while this is
quite expensive it is good as gold and is
subject 10 call upon demand.
The $4,000 in money orders from this
Office represents a profit to the govern
ment for this days work Of $3.50. or
enough to pay the running expenses Of
, the ONCE Tor several days.
Postoffice money orders can only be
issued for 800, and Assistant Postmaster
Jewett says he has known one man to
apply for as many as forty at one time
Wichita probably does a large volume
Of money order busintss than any town
in the state without any exception. Re-
ceipts aggregatHlg from 5000 to 10000
daily are common occurrences

The Smallest Trunks.

Ever seen will soon be in this city
and probably the smallest practical
trunks ever carried are the property
of the drove of baby elephant mem
beers of Prof. Gcntry's famous Dog
and Pony show, which will exhibit
under canvas in this city at the
Driving Park Friday, Aug. II. The
members in question are the tnicst
elephants in all the world and arc
scarcely as large as an ordinary pony.
They are considered to be the best
trained elephants in all the land.
Prof. Gentry imported them from
India last winter at an enormous cost
They are of more value than ordinary
elephants on account of their size.
They all possess superb dispositions
and are great friends of the children,
who will all have an opportunity of
riding on them and getting thorough
ly acquainted during the shows stay
in this city.
