WOMAN IN HIDING
Mystery Somewhere in the Case of
a Wichita Guest

Ihere is case IN this city that IS ex-
citing the interest of all who have heard
anything about It. 1t is a very mys-
/ ferrous case. No one knows anything
about the case that viii lead to any
definite results. There may be a muir
der back Of it and there may be only a
bad cutting scrape. At any rate, there
is a great deal Of mystery about a Ger
tain woman who came to this city a day
or two ago. Her name is not known to
anyone and she is in hiding in the city
for fear Of something. What that some
thing is no one can exactly say. The
woman is good looking and has the APP
peararce Of one who is avoiding one OF
those entertainments that sometimes
oyertakes the best people, and leads one
to think that she is the Victim Of an
unfortunate Circumstance rather than
the perpetrator or assistant in a crime
The only thing that is known about
the case IS the following story that was
obtained by q reporter. The woman and
her husband as the story goes. were
riding on n train somewhere. Just where
no one can say. and the husband became
involved in a quarrel with the conductor
over some matter concerning the fare.
It IS probable from what can be learned
that the man refused to pay the fare
because Of some fancied insult and took
occasion to quarrel over it. The con-
ductor not wishing to have any trouble
before the lady called the man out on the
platform and to the uneasiness Of the
woman. who plead with her husband to
settle without going out, but all to no
purpose. He went out and the quarrel
was renewed afresh. The woman went
to the door to prevent 4 fight if she
could because she feared the temper OF
her husband If once trouble was started.
Tho man. like any other, whom defend
ing what he believes TO be his honor
was desperate and would not reason, and
the quarrel waxed hot. The conductor
lost control Of his temper at last ard
after numerous threats of throwing each
other of the car. the two came to blows.
The conductor then drew his revolver
ana fired at the man. Just at this poine
the woman reached the door of the car,
and saw the shot fred. and heard the
last words of the angry man. She
screamed and tried to get to her hus-
band, but to no purpose. As soon as the
conductor drew his revolver. the man
reached for his knife, and being in close
quarters had all the best of the struggle.
He slashed the conductor and then
escaped to the car. The people in the
car not aware of what had happened.
their frs. thought was that a slight ac-
cident had occurred. when the car stop
ped in answer to the whistle cord. The
conductor. it seems. was badly slashed
and it was thought that he could not
live. The man and his wife escaped I'm
the dark when the train stopped and
no one knew what became OF them.
Just when all this happened, and what
is the condition of the man cut. and
where it all took place. is a mystery. The
woman IS now IN the city and pleaded
for a lodging place. whore she would be 4
secure. The cnly communication that
She has received since she arrived in
the city was through roughly dressed
man. apparently a farmer. who came
and talked to her end took her letters
for her. There were no addresses on
