were the victims OF joke. On the lower
floor Of the ice house they could see
nothing. The cries still continued and
Mr. Woodford concluded TO investigate
on the upper floor. he went UP the stairs
and asked: why don't you come DOWN.
The answer came back: II can't come
down. I'm fastened here" About this
time the men concluded to investigate.
and they walked up stairs. Over IN one
corner Of the building with his feet
chained to the rafters was a solitary High
school Senior. Charles Russell. his head
on bunch of hay and enough hay under
his shoulders TO make him comfortable as
ia as possible. His hands ad been bound
behind him and he had been gagged.
However, he had been able to free his
hands and that meant that he released
himself from the gag. His feet. however.
were chained to the rafters and the chains
were fastened by two padlocks. Mr.. Rus
sci, told his rescuers that he had been
kidnapped by the Juniors from the
Fletcher block and that they had bound
and gagged him and conveyed his to the ice
house in a buggy. After he had told this
story the men secured q file, and after
several minutes work they succeeded in
releasing the young man. de then re
peated his story. He said that four Of
the Juniors secured him at his rooms in
the Fletcher building and compelled him
TO accompany them IN a buggy. few
blocks from the Fletcher building he es-
capped from his pursuers, but they recap
tured him again after another struggle.
This time they held him fast, and strug-
gle as he might, they chained him fast
in the ice house.
Had it not been for the three men men
toned above this young man would have
missed his role in the class exercises.
Mr.. Casey. who related of the rescuing OF
the young man to a reporter FOR the Eagle
Stated that during the evening a sorrel
horse hitched 10 a buggy had been seen
near the ice house. and this is probably
the conveyance which carried the young
man to his prison

THEY HAVE HEARD II
Marshal Mccain Says People Are
Talking About Wichita

Marshal Mccain Of Kentucky is in the
city visiting his friend. David Ross, 7SS
North Emporia avenue He is a Ken
lucky gentleman who made large invest
ment here during the boom days when
people went wild on real estate TIE never
lost faith ia the final outcome Of Wichita
and he held onto his property. He now
thinks he made some very wood invest
ments and when some of the fellows slip
around looking for a snap and ask Mr.
Mccain TO price some Of his property he
looks wise and names a price that makes
them go rithaway and mark UP their own
holdings.
Mr.. Mccain says people all over the
country have got onto the fact that Wich-
ita is forging to the front. but he admit
ted that he was surprised at the advance
made here in the two years since he was
last here. He says people can come
here and see for themselves that Wichita
is the best town in the west. Just look
at those streets. he said rs ne stood and
the corner of Mai nand Douglas. Did
you ever see anything like it before
Wichita is today four times a better town
than il was during the boom.

MAY CHANGE SURVEY
Orient People Have Found
a Shorter Route.
TO SAVE FIVE MILES
Cottonwood Falls Route 10 be
Abandoned.

Col Thomas G. Fitch. H. ". RubIe and
Theodore OssweiIer. the three men ap-
pointed by Judge Dale to condemn the
right Of way through this county for the
Orient railway met and organized yester-
day TO commence their work. They went
ON. into Wichita township and looked
ovei the proposed lire but it was under
stood among the Orient people that they
viii n, 1t condemn and appraise any right
Of way for several days because of some
plans ~ the Orient to change the line
away froi n any survey yet made.
It is now claimed that the whole survey
between tins city and Wichita may be
changed. 7 he surveyor has aIreay as
certained that the route by way Of Pot
win is some FIVE miles shorter than that
by way OF Fl Dorado and now comes the
word that a line five miles shorter than
the Potwfn can be found between this
city and Emporia- 1t is now claimed that
the county surveyors of Lyon and Chase
counties have compared notes and that
they gave the engineer Of the Orient
pointers that has enabled him to find q
shorter line than any yet surveyed and
that he has been over the line and is
pleased with it.
It is claimed that It Is the intention Of
Mr.. stilwell TO get to the Pacific in old
Mexico with as few miles as possible, and
that five miles saved in the distance
counts for a good deal in his estimation.
one Of the Orient people here told a de-
porter for the Eagle last night that if the
new route was taken, which he thought
very probable. it would lave Cottonwood
Falls about four miles TO one side. Some
of the old railroad men here claim that
the proposed new line will be UP Doyle
creek from Emporfa. It IS claimed that
a splendid grade can be secured on this
route and that some Of the leading men
of the section Of country about Emporia
tried 10 get the Santa Fe 10 take that
route when the survey was first made for
that road
This probable change in the course of
the road between here and Emporia Will
probably result in the first work Of grad
ing and track laying to be done from this
city. The Frisco people here report that
they are delivering train loads of ties and
bridge timbers for the Orient at Arkansas
City The material is taken from Ar
kansas City 10 Anthony by the Kansas
Southern. Work is progressing on that
part Of the line because it is already To-
Gated there and right of way secured. It
Will not make very much difference to
Wichita wheer the roads runs between
here and Emporia. bat OF course it would
give more territory tributary TO the city
Of 4 would run through a section where
there is not already a road by which
Wichita can reach it.
AIr. Stillweu is expected to give the
order to commence throwing dirt in this
section in a few weeks unless this plan of
changing the route from here to Emporia
should be adopted.

members Of the firm. a few days ago
one Of the men was discharged for incom-

piled for job and it was refused. The
entire force held a meeting that evening
and all signed a petition that evening
that they would quit If the man was not
reinstated. The committee to present this
paper was TO act at noon yesterday, but
the firm got wind of the matter and
promptly discharged the leader. About an
hour after three others went out The
others were so surprised at the action Of
the firm that ell their nerve was taken
away and all but the striking men went
to work at the call Of the whistle. All
the places vacated by the men have been
filed but one. and the man who will take
that job is on the road and will be here
