MURPHY's DEEP TROUBLE.
Serious Charge Brought Agains: Him
in Miami.

VIM. Murphy, commonly called
Dill, the real estate dealer, who was
arrested last week by Constable
Hamhlin Of Paola, was taken to Paola.
The charge against BIZ is partic-
ularly severe one and charges him
and another Abileneite, atpresent sup.
posed to be in hiding, with obtaining
property under false pretenses,
which II sustained means a prison
term. The petition says that William
Carter and his wife, an aged couple
Of Paola, had good home in Paola
and that Murphy and his partner in
duced them to trade it for 40 acres In
Galloway county, Mo-, which was
represented as fine fruit farm, with
buildings, 20 acres Of fruit trees,
strawberries, hot beds, etc. and all
well fenced. They found out after
the deeds were exchanged that the
Missouri land was merely a stony
bluff without fruit, fence or buildings
and worthless. They brought suit
and q state warrant was issued for the
real estate men. Murphy has been
"shadowed" for three weeks In order
to find his partner II possible.
Efforts were made to get Murphy
released from jail on habeas corpus
last week but the sheriff could not be
found In order to serve the papers.
G.. 5. Crawford, Murphy's attorney,

Plant Trees Right.

"lt is digraceiul the way shade

said an old nurseryman today. II
notice that some OF the men who are
planting shade trees dig a hole barely
large enough for the tree, and then
stick it down, and cover up the roots.
TIE tree cannot thrive, and 1t prob.
ably will not live. In planting a
shade tree, q hole should be dug
three feet square and three feet Deep
The tree should be put in and the
hole filled with rich soil mot manure),
and 1t will thrive. This is not being
done, and disappointment is sure to
be the result. Every one who has
planted trees this spring should take
them up II they have been stuck down
into the dirt and put in as above de-
scribed."

According to Freemans story be
left Burr Oak in company with young
Kinney last September for trip over
land. The boys were having Ia good
time generally and we're engaged in
"boct-legging" whisky as pastime.
At one place they sold man some
whisky and be came pretty near dy-

badly frightened and fearing that he
might be arrested for murder and for
selling whiskey, took to the brush,
leaving Freeman in charge Of the out.

Freeman claims to have driven
around through the country for q few
days and even back in the vicinity Of
Burr Oak. Finally he drove over into
Ellis county where he disposed Of the
team and wagon.
After selling Kinney's outfit, Free
man saws be went to Salina where he
met young Kinney during street fair
and gave him the proceeds of the sale
Of his team and wagon. Since that
time he claims not to have seen him.
Kinney's trunk and some OF his per.
sonal property were found in Free
mans possession at the time Of his
arrest and these articles in themselves
may prove damaging evidence against
Freeman.
The officers do not believe Free
mans story, but up to date have not
been able to disprove it or account in
any other way for the connection
which he evidently has had with Kin
ney's mysterious disappearance.
