helpless to make her condition
known.
She is now improving, and expects
that she will be able to return to
school in week or two. She SAYS
that the preparations for her burial
did not worry her at all. She seemed
perfectly contented. but is glad now

OFFER REWARD FOR
DEAD BANDITS.
Kansas Cities Police Officials Working
Hard to Cleanse Their Re-
spective Cities.

Kansas City, Mo, Jan. 9.-As d
result OF the reign OF terror that has
been going on in the two Kansas
| Cities from footpads, chief of police
Mcfarland of Kansas City, Kan, has
offered a reward of so to any
man who will Kill footpad. There
are too many hold-ups,' said Chiei
Mcfarland to-day, land the only
way to stop it is to kill off some oil
the footpads Twill give so in cash
out of my pocket To the officer OF
citizen who kills Il footpadin Kansas
City, Kan
He hopes that everybody will work
for the reward. a similar reward
was offered by him last winter, and
though no one claimed it, it had the
effect of putting a quietus on the
practice OF sticking up people for
a time.
Police Commissioner Gregory OF
Kansas City. Mo. announced to-day
that he would favor the city paying
$3.50 reward for every foodpad killed
on the Missouri side of the line.
The police dragnet has been in
active operation since last Saturday
and the result has been the driving
OF many suspicious characters from
the city. Last night fifty policemen
in plain clothes reinforced the full
corps of detectives. and the city was
raked as with a comb. The. cells at
the police headquarters We're filed to
overlooking this morning.
The emphatic order to leave Kan
sas City is likely TO be obeyed and
the town is we'll rid OF 200 or 300
men.
The heads Of the police department
have been forced to the conviction
that "A mysterious man with Il mania
for smuggling defenseless men and
helpless women is the author of these
attacks that has produced a sense OF
terror throughout Kansas City
Within less than six weeks Il dozen
men and women have been slugged
on the Missouri side OF the line, to
say nothing OF numerous similar
attacks occurring in Kansas City,
Kan.
