THE NAN HUNT IN KANSAS
Thirteen Out of Possible Twenty
Six of the Escaped Con-
victs Recaptured.
LAWRENCE LEWIS FATALLY WOUNDED,
He Was OverhauIed Near QuenemO,
Kas., Forty Miles From LeaVen-
worthwhile Country Alive with
Posses Bent on Rounding Up the
Rest of the Fugitiyes.

Kansas City, Mo, Nov. 11.-Another
day has added one more to the list
of escaped Fort Leavenworth con
victE captured, that of Lawrence Lew
is, who was mortally wounded,
this morning, near Quenemo, kas.,
while making a dash through cor
don of armed deputies. Now there
are but 13 prisoners at large.
Lewis is a white boy 20 years OF
age, who was sent up in October
1900, to undergo five years sentence
for larceny. He was tracked to 4
wooded place near Quenemo by the
city marshal of that place, which is
situated 40 miles southwest from Fort
Leavenworth, and q dozen men bear
ing rifles. An order to surrender was
met with defiance, and Lewis, un-
armed and practically surrounded,
darted for the nearest opening. lie
had gone scarcely a hundred yards
when a bullet from Winchester in
the hands of one of his pursuers
pierced his lung from behind and
brought him to the ground. Bleeding
and fatally wounded, Lewis was taken
to the marshal's office and cared for,
while Warden McClaughrey was noti-
fed.
Three distinct gangs Of convicts
have been reported at points within II
miles around Topeka since last night,
and although a horde of penitentiary
guards, deputy sheriffs and farmers
have been on the go all day, night
fell with only one capture, that of
Lewis, reported.
From the descriptions received
Warden McClaughrey believes that the
two captors of Sheriff Cook were
Arthur Hewitt, white, and Lon
Southerland, a part Indian. Hewitt
with Frank Thompson, a negro, were
ringleaders in the outbreak, and the
warden yesterday announced a reward
for their capture. Hewitt and South.
erland were both serving fveyear
sentences for larceny. Hewitt is 20
years of age, while Southerland is
about IS.
At $3.50 o'clock this evening a mes
sage was received at the penitentiary
stating that Thompson, with three
other conyicts, had been traced tc
near Council Grove this afternoon
and was being followed closely.
The officials at Topeka, both coun.
ty and city, are filled with revenge at
being foled at Pauline, and are bend.
ing every energy to overhaul these
particular convicts, who they pro
fess to believe are in hiding about 30
miles from the scene where yester.
days exciting epiode was laid.

MODEL PUBLIC LIBRARY.
NIoyement on Foot to Establish = Model
Public Lib.a at the st. Louis
Worlds Fair,

St. Louis, Nov. 9.-The movement
for the establishment Of a model pub
lie library on the site Of the World :
fair is rapidly assuming definite pro-
portions. The first persons to adyo-
cate this movement We're the trustees
of the st. Louis public library, who
have seen from the first an excellent
opportunity to extend the usefulness
of the library and to insure delight
full resting place on the grounds. At
first this movement concerned itself
only with the establishment of an or
dinary library More recently, how
ever, the idea of a model library has
been developed, as being a valuable
exhibition of perfected library sys-
TEN, and the board of trustees of the
public library forwarded to the
Worlds fair officials a eommunica-
ton setting forth in detail the ad-
yantages of Il plan for a model IL
brary.
Librarian Frederick NJ. Cruden, of
st. Louis public library, believes that
library supply houses would furnish
the model library without charge, and
that publishers could be induced to
supply reading matter in the same
way. He is also of the opinion that
the library building should be per-
manent, with an attempt at architec-
tural beauty the library, after the
fair, forming one of the most yalua-
ble branches of the public library in
the city.
Director Taylor. talking about the
location that could be offered for the
model library, said: "If the library
board could supply the funds, we
could assign them an attractive loca-
ton on the grounds, at Lindell boule-
ward and Sliinker road, if they wished.
If they can not, difficulties would
arise The library board can, | be-
lieve. make available for that purpose
a part of the million dollars Mr.. Car
negie has offered st. Louis for pub
lic library and branches. If they can
do this, we certainly can have model
library on the grounds"

Ia gored, and the editor don't want any one
70 say anything against Mr.. McLaurin, but he
can fault Tillman and Latimer as much az
posslble-but TilIman and Latimer are not
true If they say McLaurin Is anything but a
Democrat and q gentleman.
