TURNS OVER CHILDREN.
Joseph Fry Has Them Sent to Or
phans' Home.

Joseph Fry, who was arrested at Vic
tor, Col, early this spring on a charge
of bigamy left his three children, aged 9,
9 and II years old with Police Matron
Thorpe this week. to be placed in the
care of the Topeka Orphans home.
The children have been taken care OF
during three months of the time since
he was brought back here by his broth
er. Dan Fry and his wife, who live at
S27 West Gordon street in North Tope-
ka During the past month they have
been in the home of his other brother,
William Fry, on North Taylor street.
Last Saturday" said Mrs Fry to a
State Journal reporter, Joe went to
his brothers house and told them he
was about to set up housekeeping and
that he wanted to take charge of the
children. He took the children to Mrs
Thorpe instead and turned them over
to her care, claiming that he was I'M
able to take care of them But he has
been working in the Santa F'e general
offices ever since my husband went to
Colorado and brought him back here
We did not learn that the children were
taken to Mrs Thorpe until a day or two
after the transaction
I'VE went to see Mrs. Thorpe about
getting the children, to take care Of
them. but Mrs. Thorpe wouldn't give
US any information as to where they
were for the reason that their father
told her that his relatives would object
when they learned about it and he did
not want them to get the children"
Mrs J. c. Howe, president of the Or
phans' Home association, upon learning
the state of affairs said that she hac
no idea, when the children were takei
there. that they had a father. I thought
they were orphans" she said

FOUND A SEWER.
Rock Island Compelled to Change
Plans For Freight Depot


The Rock Island believes in reciproc-
ity It has taken occasion to show its
gratitude to the city for allowing it the
contested right of way in the alley east
Of Kansas avenue between First street
and the river, which was done at the last
council meeting
The occasion for reciprocity presented
itself last Wednesday, when the work
men engaged in digging for the founda-
ton of the new Rock Island freight
depot dug down to the top of a large
brick sewer which existed on the rail-
way property.
The fact was reported to the city au-
thorities, with the request that some
thing be done about it. The city engi-
neer investigated the case. and found
that no record of such a sewer existed
Inquiry of Joel HuntoOn, formerly city
engineer. revealed the fact that this
sewer had been built in 1879, at a time
when the property was used as stock
yards. The city had no authority for
putting the sewer on this land, which
was private property, but simply did so
because it was the shortest cut to the
river.
So in fact the city was trespassing on
the Rock Island property, and in dan
ger of being put to the expense OF re-
moving the sewer and extending it
( for two blocks along First street to go
around the Rock Island land
The situation was explained to the
z Rock Island officials, and they took the
/ matter under Amusement. Within a few

freight depot in such a way as to avoid

city to leave things as they We're
We want to accommodate the city,
said enc of the Rock Island officials,
! because we understand that the gen

! rather low just now, and we want to
/ show that We appreciate the friendly at
titude of the council toward the Rock
Island railway, as malS1 ssted by grant
ing our request for a right OF way Tor
our tracks.
1t is said that the action of the city
council in granting the right of way to
the Rock Island is likely to have u good
deal more effect than the council sup
posed it would
one Rock Island officer in speaking to
a councilman, said: 1t seems likely tC
me that this manifestation Of good viii
to the Rock Island which the city coun-
ell has given viii be productive Of con
siderable good to Topeka. The Rock
Island has had occasion to believe al
times that the city authorities here are
not very friendly to it. and they have
therefore not exerted themselves to ac-
commodate Topeka
