SHOULD HAVE GUARDS.
Coroner HOgebOOm Says City
Railway Ought to Have Them.

IF anyone is killed by being struck
by a trolley po1e,' said Coroner H. B.
Hogeboom today, II will instruct the
jury to bring in verdict holding the
street railway company liable for the
DEATH"
DR.. Hogeboom is very earnest in his
advocacy of wire guards on the left
side Of open cars, to prevent people
getting on or off cars from that side.
He says that hardly a season passes
without serious injury being inflicted
on passengers who stand on the steps
of open cars or get on or off cars on
the trolley pole side
An ordinance will likely be intro
duced into the council requiring that
the street railway company equip Its
open cars with screen guards.
4 think it would be a good plan"
said DR.. Hogeboom today, ito require
that the company not only put wire
side guards on It's open cars, but re-
Quire also that front nets be put on
all cars, to avoid the danger of running
over and crushing people. Whenever
there is a. large crowd 1t is a wonder
that more people are not run down and
crushed by the cars. Yesterday I saw
several narrow escapes from accidents
of this kind in the circus crowd 1t
might also be advisable for the COM
pany to take off the step on the left
side of its open cars, and thus effeo-
tually stop people from riding on the
trolley pole side.
Il suppose the company will fight this
plan very hard, on the ground that il
is too expensive. But it seems to me
that it would be better economy for the
company to do this rather than to be
continually liable for damage suits. AS
1 say, if a man should be killed by
striking a trolley pole when riding on
or getting off an open car, would in
struct the jury to hold the company
liable for the DEATH

Drilling Expected to Begin on
That Date.

Plans of the Company.

a drill suitable for sinking a hole
5000 feet is being made for the Kansas
and Texas Oil and Mining company,
and will be ready for use by September
/. The com pany then expects to begin
prospecting for oil in western Kansas
and Oklahoma
The company is a Topeka institution.
Those on the board of directors are W.

ner. A. G. Potter, L. Biscoe, ]. H.
March and ]. B. Eldridge.
The drill and rig complete, which is
being made at Rockford, Ill, viii weigh
ten tons.
The company has leased land in
Oklahoma, Indian Territory and west
ern Kansas. It is likely that drilling
will commence at some point in Okla
homa, and at some point in western
Kansas at about the same time. The
company's own drill will be located at
one place and a rented drill at the
other. Oil has been discovered in TregO
county in what IS believed paying
quantities, and the company expects to
open a new Kansas oil field
J. B. Eldridge, of the company, says:
1T is believed by all who have investi-
gated that western Kansas is destined
to become one of the greatest oil fields
in the world. All along the Smoky and

counties are found oil seepings and oil
shale that have burned for m OnthS-
Many places wells have been sunk to a
depth of only 16 feet, and oil is found
in sufficient quantities to be bailed out
with an ordinary bucket. One of these
wells, the best we have seen, is in
Logan county, and which we have
leased has over two feet of oil.
I'VE are. leasing for 80 years the best
lands in this district, also negotiating
for leases in Texas and the zinc fields
of Arkansas, which we can prospect
with our diamond core drill at a small
cost, and Utah and Idaho, and will
keep a sharp outlook for rich oil and
mineral fields anywhere which would
be likely to pay our company.
Our holdings are now many thou
sands of acres. which we are increas-
ing all the time as conditions JUS

ROBBINS FROM TOPEKA.
Man Who Committed Suicide at
Wichita.

day evening announced that Herbert
IL Robbins had committed suicide in
Wichita and this led to his identihca
ton as a former emplOye at George B.
Palmer's undertaking rooms. Robbins

friends The cause of his suicide il is
believed was on account of a disaD
pointment in love. Robbins was p
years of age and his home is at Hope.
Indiana
He came here about three months
ago and went first to the National ho-
tel The first night he stayed there

watch on him. He told his story to

eror of the hotel and through her in
duence found employment in the Office

ed at rPalmers undertaking rooms. He

sire to learn the business. He was
trustworthy and eager to work and
from a friend Of his. a Mr.. William
Kennedy, president of a bank at Hope.
Indiana, the young mans home, Mr..
Palmer received a letter of recommen-
dalton praising him in the highest
terms.
He was evidently passionately in
love. He was necessarily writing to a
lady at his home.
