Officer Crawford Has Narrow Escape
From d Villain.
Oscar Smell drew knife and threatened
to cut officer Crawford to pieces yester-
day at noon at the corner Of Douglas
avenue and Water street. He is now IN
the city jail with a very sore head, fhe
result Of the prompt action of the officer.
AS the officer was making his rounds
he found Scheu and Mrs. Black near the
corner. The man had filed up on forty
rod" whislZey and had just heard that
Mrs. Black had received notice that she
was an heir TO a large fortune. The old
man was very affectionate for such a
public place and the officer asked them
70 move on. Smell looked at him for a
moment and then told the officer that
he nor anybody else could make him
move an inch. The man stepped OF about
three feet and all this time had his hand
IN his pocket The officer told him he
must move along and then the man drew
from his pocket q long, keen-edged knife
and began to make pass at the officer,
when the good right arm of the guardian
of the law made a swing and the man
was laying on his back and at the station
late last night he had not fully recovered
his mental poise. He VIII be tried this
morning on the charge of resisting an
officer and carrying concealed weapons.
The man is the same one who cut three

WANTS HER SHARE
Mrs. Mccoy Is Granted an In
junction Against Her Husband
SHE ALSO WANTS DIVORCE
Alleging That Patrick Mccoy
Chased Her With a Revolver
SHE ALSO WANTS DIVORCE

Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Julia Mccoy
applied in the district court for a perma-
nent Injunction restraining her husband.
Patrick Mccoy. from selling any of their
property. Judge Dale being away, and
not within his district, the application
was filed before Probate Judge Thomas
Wilson. who granted her petition Earlier
in the day Mrs. Mccoy fled a petition
for divorce, asking to be released from
Patrick Mccoy for several causes, which
reads as follows
The plaintiff charges Patrick Mccoy
with extreme cruelty in that he has
sworn at and abused her on occasions too
numerous to mention in an ordinary doc
ument, and that several times he has
threatened to kill her. She claims that
by reason of his abusive conduct and
threats to kin her he has driven all or
the children from their home prior to
their becoming of age. The plaintiff
states that she is afraid to live longer
with Patrick and that he constantly
keeps a loaded revolver at home. She
alleges that one night in February, 1901,
he drove her from bed and then at the
point of a loaded revolver chased and
threatened to kill her if she did not re-
turn. She furthermore s ates that she
left her home, which is east Of Valley
Center, on July 10 and came to Wichita
to reside with her daughter so that she
could obtain better medical services. The
plaintiff states that on July II her hus-
band forcibly elected their son William
from the house and has since then re-
fused to let him return home. Mrs.
Mccoy states that at the time OF their
marriage neither she nor her husband
anything of this worlds goods, but that
since that time. by their combined labors,
they have accumulated considerable prop
erty. Mr.. and Mrs. Mccoy were married
thirty-seven years ago at Jacksonville,
III, on March g. Ten children were born
to them, of which eight are living. All
Of these are OF age, with the exception Of
William Mccoy, who is 20 years old. The
farm on which MT. and Mrs. Mccoy have
lived is valued at 5000. and in addition
tc this they own a great deal Of other
property.
The divorce petition was filed as a
poverty petition, Mrs. Mccoy stating that
she had no money with which to pay the
fees in the case. After having fled the
petition for divorce, Mrs. Mccoy learned
that her husband was trying 10 dispose |
CT some of their property. which caused |
her TO file a petition for an injunction |
against his doing so.

KAILER IS 4 HERO
DOid EmpIOye Saves the Life
of a Comrade.
DURING THE BIG FIRE
Dragged Him Under Fire TO
Place of Safety.

George Kailer IS the latest hero at the
Dold FIRE. All Of the people about the
bold house now know that he saved the
life Of Frank Piper. Mr.. Piper IS the
han who is supposed to have lost his
life the morning of the fire. and hun
dreds Of people thought he went down
into the flames when the roof Of the big
Dold cooler caved in.
When the fire was raging in the early
morning Twenty-6rst street was full Of
people looking at the flames demolish the
great Dold packing house. When the
IRE crssed from the east buildings to
the big cooler there was a man seen on
the roof Presently there was cloud
of smoke and fire burst up through the
roof of the cooler. The man on the
roof threw both his hands above his
head and sank down. The crowd in the
str ct waited with bated breath to see
the man make his appearance again, but
I'VE minutes later the roof sank with
crash into the roaring, cracking flames
below and there was an exclamation OF
horror from the crowd in the street. They
into the flames and soon word was on
the streets that man had lost his life
ln the fire at the Dold packing house.
The man who threw Up his hands and
seD on the roof. overcome with smoke
and heat, was Frank Piper, the faith
Eul meat inspector at the DoId house,
but he did not so down with the roof.
Just as he fell George Kailer, foreman Of
the pickle gang at the Dold house, stuck
his cad over the roof On the north side
He hs2d climbed the fire escape. The
Smoke md fire was a short distance above
the root and as it foated to the north and
under # Kailer saw the PROSTATE form
Of Frank PyDer. He took in the situa-
ton and in an instant he was on his
hands and knees under the fire and smoke
and he dragged Piper TO the north side,
where he soon recovered, and the two
men were on the ground on the north side
OF the building when the roof went in.
The two men went around helping TO
save the house. and not until yesterday
when Mr.. Piper appeared at the pack
ing hou sc with one of his arms severely
burned did the Dold people learn Of the
narrow escape Frank PIPER had from a
house concluded that George Kailer was
the sort Of stuff heroes are made OF and
they begun to congratulate him for his
bravery Chief Walden told a reporter
for the Eagle that the men who volun-
teered to help at the Dold house were the
best he ever saw. Re said the Dold en-
ployes and citizens who lived near the
packing house went right along with the
hremen and helped them where they were
liable at any minute to be buried in a
fiery grave.
When Frank Piper fell not a person
knew who he was. The clouds Of smoke
floating about kept his face hidden so
that no one could recognize him.
The Dold fire has demonstrated that
there is a large amount OF heroism in
Wichita, and that perhaps accounts for /
the fact that no lives were lost.

The bankers of this city are beginning
70 have inquiries about money from the
cattle feeders and it would not be sur
prising is a good many cattle are fed in
this county next winter.
Farmers are beginning TO talk that they
viii have some corn and while they do not
expect a big crop. most Of them expect a

money in the years when corn was high.
Cattle are cheap now and the feeders can

as last winter and that the feeders would

Why They FAIL.
War Department Putting up Exam
ination That Army Appointees
Cannot Stand.

Washington. May Accusations
are being freely made that the War
Department. is purposely making the
examinations for the new appoint
ments to the army so difficult that at
least half of the candidates fail, en-
abling others to be appointed in their
places. and thus increasing by more
than fifty per cent the number of
the faithful who can be placated by
nice appointment.
Lest some whom it is intended to
put in, should fail, right of appeal
is allowed to board of review which
will mend all errors. The unsuccessful
candidates do not themselves appear
before this board, but all of the exam
ination papers and all obtainable. facts
for and against the candidates-in-
cluding his political backing are refer
red to it. If the failure is not too
grievous one, and the facts favorable
outweigh the facts against, he may be
afforded a second opportunity.
If a volunteer officer has good mil
itary record-and good pull-there is
a disposition to allow him to go a lit
tie short on English grammar and in
ternational law, for, after all, it is
fighting men Uncle Sam has need of.
The grammar and the law may be ac-
quired with time, but fighters are de-
clared to be born with the martial in
stinct. There are thousands of school
teachers and other men of studious oc-
cupations who would have no difficulty
in passing the examinations, but 1t
does not follow on that account that
they would be good men for shooting
civilization into half-naked savages or
chasing them through the tangled
wilds of the Philippines. When a
man, therefore, has demonstrated that
he is fitted for the strenuous side of
soldiering-and has the requisite back
ing-a deficiency in the lettered accom-
plishments weighs less against him
than the man of poorer record from
the soldiery standpoint.
Boards for the examinatloo of ap-
pointees are now sitting in New York
City. Chicago, Fort Leavenworth, San
Francisco, San Antonia, and at Fort
Monroe. There is also board in Por-
to Rico, and in the Philippines Gen.
McArthur is authorized to convene
such boards as he may deem necessary
for the examination of volunteer Off
GERS who have been given chace to
try for the regular establishment.
Civilian appointees are ordered, as
soon as named by the President, to
proceed to the nearest point at which
a board is sitting. and are there So b.
jected to examination. Returning vol
unteer officers are examined at San
Francisco Immediately upon their ar
rival. and officers yet in the field are
sent to the most convenient boards at
such time as they can be spared from
duty. Such of the applicants as pass
are immediately assigned to duty.
