BROUGHT HIM BACK
Sumner County Criminal Is
Arrested in Arizona.
TWO SERIOUS CHARGES
Sheriff Shaver Located Him
CIeverIy.

Chas. c. Shaver, sheriff Of Sumner
county, was in wichita yesterday with
prisoner whom he had gone to Flagstaff.
Arizona, after. The man under arrest
was Frank Clark, who is wanted at
Wellington on double charge,
that Of assault with intent to
kill, and the more serious cnarge Of
statutory rape on the person of his own
sister. young irl of barely fifteen
years. Clark is farm hand an had
been a resident OF Sumner county for
about a year past. Along about the mid
die Of last March there was a dance near
Anson, Kan. held at the house Of Chas.
Barnes. who is a brother-in-law Of Clark.
Some coolness had existed prior TO this
time between the two men and Clark
did not get a bid TO the dance. He was
there, however, as an unlimited guest and
had a bottle of whisky with him. At
some stage during the festivities and
when he had got properly under the in
huence he started an argument with his
brother-in-law, Barnes, and the latter
tried TO eject him from the house. In the
scrimmage Clark drew his knife and
tried to hamstring Barnes, but only sue
ceeded in infficting some severe cuts on
the mans leg. Some Of the neighbOrs
Clark was thrown out of the house. He
went away, and returned in about an
hour with a shotgun and poked it through
the window and took a couple of shots at
Barnes, but failed to hit him. This little
pleasantly broke up the dance and the
participants retreated to an upper story.
Clark fooled around for a while on the
outside and then made of somewhere.
The next day Barnes got out a
warrant for him. but he had flown. It
was learned that he had left the state,
and the matter was let drop.
a few days ago it was reported TO Sher-
if Shawver that Clark's younger sister
was in a critical condition and that she
claimed her brother was the cause of it.
The sheriff went out in the country and
interviewed the girl and she affirmed
the report and exhibited a letter from
Clark, written from Flagstaff Arizona
in which he threatened to kill her if she
told any one Of the matter. A warrant
was issued for Clark on a complaint
sworn to by the girl, and the case was
turned over to Sheriff Shawver. He tele-
graphed the authorities at Flagstaff TO
arrest and hold Clark and left Yelling
ton for Flagstaff last Thursday At To-
peka he received a telegram ( ON Flag
staff saying that they had the man and
that he had agreed to return without a
requisition. Shawver got into Flagstaff
on last Saturday at $50, got his man and
left with him at $40 the same evening.
arriving in Wichita on the $40 Santa Fe.
He took his prisoner TO the city jail and
placed him in a cell there until time for
the BIG Rock Island south to yelling

assault with intent to kill, but is not
aware that there is a more serious charge
against him. He will have a hearing at
Wellington some time this week

in the neighborhoOd of Clarks former
home and some have gone so far as say

THEY, TOO, HAVE RIGHTS.
WheeImen Claim that People Drive
Over Them In Street.

Since the bicyclists have been prohib-
tied from riding on the sidewalks and
since so many of them put up a $ bill
in police court as a guarantee that they
would not do so any more, there is a
good deal Of talk about the rights Of the
wheel people.
Some Of the wheelmen claim that they
are kept OF the walks for fear that they
will kill or cripple pedestrians and that
when they get out in the streets they are
liable to be killed by reckless drivers Of
teams They claim that most of the peO-
pie who drive on the streets and public
highways. act as if they thought that
wheelmen had no rights which they are
bound TO respect and that the Wheelmen
are in constant danger Of being killed
in the streets.
Vice-President E. z. Masterson of the
Kansas National bank, said yesterday
that he was one Of those who had OBJ
served this business OF riding on the
sidewalks, and that while he believed the
pedestrians should be protected he was
also of the opinion that wheelmen had
rights that ought to be protected. He
would have bicycle paths constructed
along all the unpaved streets and then
fine g man frod irving on them just the
same as the wheeimen were fined for
riding on the sidewalks. The wheelmen
are talking of organizing for their own
protection and this matter may come be-
fore the meeting Of the next city coun-
eli
