Wichita Mans Version of Treat
ment of Wife.
George Lamb Says He Slapped
Her Gentlemanly."
MAN HAS SOME RIGHTS.
Wondered What He Had q Wife
For, Anyway.
But the Judge Gave Offender
Some Pointers.
MAN HAS SOME RIGHTS.

Wichita, Aug. 2.-George Lamb was
fined 500 in police court yesterday af-
ternoon for beating and otherwise abus-
ing his wife. Mrs. Lamb on the wit
ness stand said that she and Lamb
were married two years ago last Feb
ruary, and that for months her husband
has been abusing her and calling her
names. On one occasion he struck her
with a whip and about two weeks ago
he slapped her and knocked her down
Wednesday night when she returned
home from her sisters, where she had
been washing, her husband called her
names and struck her and attempted
to tear her clothes off. He only desist-
ed when her mother and the neighbors
interfered. She said he had threatened
at various times to kill her. At one
neighbors interfered and took her to
their home to stay till morning. Her
husbands fits of anger were without
cause and resulted from an ungovern-
able temper, she thought.
Mrs: Lambs mother stated how she
went part way home with her daugh-
ter Wednesday night and after parting
from her had decided to follow her
to be angry. She heard him cursing
and abusing his wife and interfered in
her behalf. She also called a neighbor
and asked him to call an officer. She
said she had reason to think Lamb had
frequently abused his wife, and saw her
neck at one time when it was black
and blue from a choking which he gave
her.
Lloyd Miller, a neighbor, related SUBJ
stantially what Mrs. Lamb had told
of the trouble, as did Bert Lowery, his
wife and mother-in-law, who lives mex.
door to the Lambs. The Lowerys also
said Lamb frequently cursed and abused
his wife and that they often heard her
crying. They said Mrs. Lamb had al
ways behaved circumspectly and stay
ed at home most of the time. They once
heard Lamb strike her with a whip.
When Lamb was put on the stand he
admitted slapping his wife, but said he
did it in gentlemanly manner. He said
she gave away some plums and he
thought he had a right to chastise her a
that his hand once came in contact with
her neck. but he did not seem quite GER
tain about this. He was certain, however,
| that he had called her some names that
! were complimentary expressions in return
| to him. He said this when she rode
home In Nth Se aaitted man
wife's sister was. also in the buggy but
| contented that his wife had ma businss
| to ride in buggy with any man. He
said his wife frequently made him mad
| and then abused him. He denied that he
had disturbed the neighbors. having only
had two fights with his wife during the
past two weeks.
| Judg Stanley said this was another pc
| He told Lamb that he was trying to
make a dog" of his wife taht he had
acted in a contemplate manner and was
not worthy to be called a decent man.
| He said Mrs Lamb was deserving of de-
| cen1 treatment and the neighbors had a
| right to expect any man to SO conduct
| and a nuisance, and for this reason he
| imposed a fine of 500.

SUES FOR $4,000.
Santa Fe the Defendant in q Big
Damage Suit.

James Higgins, a Santa Fe brakeman,
has filed a suit for $4,000 damages
against the Santa Fe road in the dis
trict court of Lyon county. Higgins
claims that while switching cars in 1901
at Florence, Kan, he was knocked off
a car by another car left protruding
over the switch. The engine passed
over his legs, necessitating amputation.
Higgins was % years old when the ac-
cident occurred and says he was capable
of earning 500 month. He is now
helpless.
While in the hospital at Ottawa, weak
and incapable of thinking for himself,
Higgins says the Santa Fe agents in
duced him to sign certain papers and
statements, the contents of which he
does not recall. He said they promised
to settle with him for signing but failed
to do so. After his return home they
again induced him to sign certain state
ments, the contents of which he can
not even remember, and promised
again to settle his claim. He says that
after getting his signature to the diff
ferent papers they refused to carry out
their agreement. He says that he was
enduring great suffering at the time
he signed the papers and was not in con-
dition to know what he was doing. He
also charges the agents who induced
him to sign with fraudulent intentions
The attorneys for Higgins are Madden
& Kellogg.

ed Santa Fe agent at Emporia, in place
of Earl V. Case, who will return to To-

superintendent of terminals at Kansas

E. p. Ripley, a nephew Of President

AS was announced in the State Jour-

erintendent of bridges and buildings is
to be abolished, or already has been
abolished. Superintendent Hurley was
asked to make a statement concerning
this matter, but would only say that the
question had not been entirely settled.
1t is understood that another place is to
be found for Mr.. Mccain, the present
superintendent of bridges and build
ings.
These changes, which were announc-
ed yesterday by Superintendent Hur
ley, will take effect at once Mr.. Ilette.
who is we'll known in Topeka, will move
his family to Emporia. The position of
agent there is one of responsibility, and
it is gratifying to Mr.. Ilette's friends to
know that he is not to entirely sever
his connection with the Santa F'e. He
has been for many years in the railroad
business, having worked for a dozen OF
the leading roads in the country in re-
sponsible positions. He was chief clerk
for c. F. Resseguie, and was let out of
that position when Superintendent Hur-
ley took charge, for the reason that Mr..
Hurley desired to retain w. K Etter in
the position of chief clerk. which posi-
ton Mr.. Etter has held for the past
five years.
Earl " Case was sent to Emporia
only a few weeks ago under appoint
ment of Mr.. Resseguie to be agent at
that point. 1t was the last appoint
ment made by Mr.. Resseguie before
leaving his position general superin-
tendent Mr.. Case will resume his posi-
