DEPPE WAS CAUGHT.
Foreman of Rock Island Water
Service Arrested as a Convict.

Louis C. Deppe, foreman of the Rock
was captured by posse of farmers near
Elmont Monday evening and accused of
being one of the escaped convicts from
the federal prison at Leavenworth.
The Rock Island has found it neces-
sary to locate new well for their water
supply near here, and Deppe went out
to Elmont to prospect for water in the
bed of or near the banks of the Halliday
creek
Deppe was polSing around here and
there STOPPING over to examine the To-
cality and was following the bed of the
creek along when a couple of farmers
saw him. He was unaware of the fact
that they returned to organize a posse
to capture him, but when he emerged
from the river bed and the trees that
fringe the bank and started to return
were stationed all sides of him, and
he noticed to his growing alarm that
they were closing in on him.
His capture was easily effected In fact
he had to be told for what he was want
ed The captors would not listen to his
story and a visit to the section house
near there was of no avail. 1t happened
that none of the men were acquainted
with Deppe.
After considerable parley they con-
sented to take him to the Rock Island
station where he was identified by the
station agent
He was released
Deppe laughs now in telling of his
narrow escape from spending the night
as a prisoner, but says he was alarmed
enough at the time.

A WHITE MANS TRICK.
Indian Football Player Tries One and
10 Caught.

Charles Guyon, an Indian attending
Haskell institute and who plays on the
Haskell football team, was arrested and
brought to Topeka yesterday on the
charge of raising the amount of a post
office order. He was arrested by Post
office Inspector Fulton, of Kansas City,
and confessed to having worked the
scheme once before.
Guyon, whose home is in White
Earth, Mimi, came with the Haskell
football team on it's return from Min
neapolis two weeks ago. Before leav-
ing Minnesota he bought money order
under an assumed name for So, payable
to himself here. Upon arriving here. he
raised the amount to $50 and presented
the order. The postoffice authorities
noticed the difference between the adj
vice and the order presented. tele-
gram was sent to White Earth and the
Minnesota authorities wired back to
arrest Guyon when he came again after
his money He failed to appear, but In
spector Fulton came after him and he
did not try to conceal his guilt. He said
he raised one order from IS to $50. and
found it SO easy that he tried it a sec
Ond time.
He will have preliminary hearing
before U. S. Commissioner r. E. Hay
den soon.

NELSON DODCES.
Newest Electric Scheme Sounds
Rather Strange.
Promoter Says He Represents
Eastern Capitalists.
BUILD ROADS TO SELL.
Says Line Would Be Built and
Disposed Of.
Does Not Feel at All Certain of
Success.

D. r. Nelson, who appeared before
the board of county commissioners
Tuesday afternoon and asked for the
right of way to build an electric rail-
road through Shawnee county, was very
much surprised when informed by
Chairman Scott Kelsey that the board
will defer action for 60 days at least
and perhaps longer.
Mr.. Nelson admitted that he expected
to get the right of way over Shawnee
county highways in less time than that
and Mr.. Kelsey informed him that the
commissioners would find out the will
of the people before taking definite ac-
ton on so important a question as the
granting OF right of way. Mr.. Mel
son informed the commissioners that
he would be on hand in 60 days.
Chairman Kelsey, of the board Of
county commissioners, said: I'VE do
not wish to move too quickly in this
matter. 1t is not deferring action too
long to say that no decision will be
reached in less than so days The com
missioners want to find out the wishes
of the people before settling this
Mr. Nelson expects opposition to his
keep the scheme quiet. He expected to
secure the right of way from the COM
missioners without a word having been
given to the public of his intentions. He
thought he had arranged matters SO
that his little deal for a right of way
would be a secret When asked about
his company Mr.. Nelson said he had
nothing to say but finally talked quite
freely.

money and understand their business
If an electric railroad between Topeka
and Kansas City will pay they wish to
build it but it is not at all certain that
they will build such a road What we
wish to do is to secure the right of
way from the county commissioners
and then investigate the matter and see
if the investment is a good one. We
have the right of way granted through
Douglas county and the promise OF the
right of way through Leavenworth
county.
Our eastern terminus would be Kan
sas City and the western end Topeka
The service would be about train ev-
cry hour or such a matter If. the road
will pay, the capitalists represent
would be ready at once to build the
road, as 1 say, but If it would not pay
they would not do So Besides secur-
ing the right of way from the commits
sioners we intend to secure the consent
of all the property owners along our.
proposed right of way before we build
we expect some opposition to this
project, and for that reason did not
wish to have much known about it I'M
I'll all the arrangements were COM
pleted. We do not intend to fight the
railroads running between Topeka and
Kansas City, and if they fight US we
intend to quit We do not wish a fight
on our hands feel certain the rail-
roads will oppose US, as they do not
wish new line between Topeka and
Kansas City that will carry passengers
and freight"
When asked if he represented the So
called Cleveland syndicate, Mr. Nelson
said no. He denied that the capitalists
he represents have anything to do with
the Kansas City and Leavenworth cleo
trio road. 1.-The men / represent build
railroads to SELL" said Mr. Nelson IF
they secure this right of way and find
that the road will pay they win build
1T and then offer it for sale 1t is not
unlikely that they would buy the city
railway here in Topeka if it was for
sale at a reasonable figure, repair it and
put it in good shape for the market.
Eastern capital has built up the
west and the profits have gone east
If there is money to be made by line
between Topeka and Kansas City, the
capitalists / represent wish to make It.
They are interested in roads of a sim
liar nature in other localities would
rather own a road between towns and
carry passengers and freight than to
own a road in a CITY,
How did you happen to choose kan
sas City and Topeka as good points for
the termini of an interurban road?"
Well, I don't care to say" replied
Mr.. Nelson.
Has your company any connection
with the Winner people, of Kansas
City2"
NO, none whatever" replied Mr.. Nell
son. Now let me say again, there is
no assurance that this road will be
built The ground will have to be
looked over and a thorough inveStiGa-
