672 lbs. w. B. Webb killed one which
pu;isd the beam at 535 lbs. and G. H.

MINUS HIS WAGES
I. @. Brown the Victim of
Confidence Men.
WAS RETURNING HOME
Had Been Working With a
ThreShing Outfit.

I. 0. Grown IS minus 1854 because he
trusted man who claimed to be his
friend. How it all happened as told by
the young man at the police station Is as
follows: i have been working with a
threshing machine out near AIngman for
the past two weeks and got sick and so
drew my wages and started for my
home about twenty miles from Eureka
Springs. Arkansas. I came 70 wichita
this evening over the Missouri Pacific
from Hutchinson and when got OF the
train and look around a man came Up 10
me and began talking to me. We Ioafed
around al evening and after dark we
went down on Water street across from
the livery barns and heard some music
and stopped to listen. While we We're
there another man came up and began TO
ask questions. Then he pulled back the
lapel of his coat and showed as a star
and told us that lie vas going TO arrest us
for passing counterfeit money. lie told
US 10 come with him ana ne would take
Us 10 The station. We went south a block
and then east and 1t the corner Of Main
street the man said that ] should stay
there and he would come back in a few
moments lie said that he he wound
take nay money as security while he was
gone. I save him all the money / had.
$3.50 and the two men went or south,
saying that they were going to the police
station and that is the last I have seen
O. them. While we were going 70 the
station the friend kept begging the oflc-
er 70 let ne so as 1 was innocent and
this is the reason he left me at the cor
ner j stood around for ten or fifteen
minutes and then began TO think that
maybe had been robbed and finally ask
cd a man who was sitting in chair near
the hotel where the police station was
and when he told me that it was only
half block north knew that I had been
robbed and so came direct 10 the sta
ton"
The boy is only nineteen years old and
has lived on farm all his life and had
come to trust everybody and thought the
man whom he met at the depot was his
friend The boy told his story in
straight. forward manner and there was
no doubt that he had been imposed upon.
The young man is rather tan and is very
slender. He is a nice looking fellow and
when he struck this town some man spot
ted him and the boy is out his entire
wages for his confidence. He said his
home was about twenty miles from Eu-
reia Springs and he had lived there all
his life. He came to this country about
two weeks ago and then went 10 King
man county and began working with the
threshing outfit When he got sick ne
thought the best thing he could DO was
10 go home and had gotten this far on his
s0rney. He did not have a cent and Moth
ing but his watch when he appeared at
the station. He gave a good description
OF the two men.

mind until the motOrneer had turned on
the power again to continue on his way.
Anyway she clasped her baby which was
with her, in one arm and started to set

the habit of doing she started TO leave the
car withiher back turned TO the front end
of the car, and when the car suddenly

bruising her arm quite severely. Many
bystanders thought the child had been
injured. but luckily It escaped without re-
ceiving a scratch.
1t is said that the motorreer after hav-
ing seen the man safely of the car. rang
his bell twice, which is his starting signal
but on account Of his car having no mir
