DIED N CAR
Man Found atHenneSsey Lived
in Wichita.
He WAS j. K. CRABB
Lived in This County Thirty
One Years.

The man found dead in the car at Hen
nessey. o. T. last week an account OF
which appeared in the Eagle at the time.
has been identified as John X. Crabb. Of
1917 South Mosley avenue. this city.
John X Crabb was one OF the old set
tiers OF this county. He came here in
the spring OF ISL and took a claim in
Gypsum township. five miles northeast
OF Derby and about fifteen miles from
this city. He stiH owned the farm at
the time Of his death and also farm
near Attica, in Harper county.
He was an industrious man and he
made a good farm in Gypsum township.
He was an upright man and respected BY
al who knew him. He has two sons
living near Attica, Kansas and one
daughter, Mrs. Viola Johns, of 137 North
Topeka avenue, this city. Mr.. and Mrs.
Crabb bought their home on South Mos
ley about two years ago and moved here
from the farm.
1t was only through the efforts Of the
officers here and at Hennessey that thu
body of the dead man was identified.
The officers at Hennessey wrote Chief
Burt of this city, a complete description
of the body and all the things found in
MS pockets ana also photograph or
the body after death, was sent. Chief
Burt located him by the ladies'. watch
which he carried. He obtained the num-
Der OF the watch and Charles Mosbacher
looked over his list and said he had sold
that watch TO Mary Crabb. on the the
18th day OF last March
Chief Burt then went TO the home OF
John X. Crabb and Mrs. Crabb said her
husband had bought a gold watch for
his niece, Mary Crabb but he had not
yet given it TO her He then showed Mrs
Crabb the photograph and she at once
recognized it as that of her husband.
She said he had recently been a little
off in his mind and at such times he
would 90 somewhere and return when he
got ready. She supposed that he had
taken a notion TO visit some Of his
friends and she thought he would come
back all right when he was through with
his visit His mind at times wandered
q little but his case was not considered
very serious.
The officers at Hennessey now think
that Mr. Crabb was not murdered as
was at first supposed. There were no
marks of violence on his body and the
officers think that If he had been drug
ged for the purpose OF robbery the watch
and a small amount of money In his
pockets would have been taken. He had
a conductors tag in his hat for FL Reno
but the train stopped at Hennessey on
account of a washed out bridge and the
officers think Mr. Crabb was walking
about the town and got into the freight
car during a rainstorm and died there
suddenly.

This bin is now a law and the depart

HAIL DID DAMAGE
Strip Is Miles Long by MiIe Wide
Visited sunday.

H. John T. Stewart, of Wellington,
the wheat king Of the southwest" came
UP to Wichita yesterday on little land
deal he has in mind and he told re-
porter for the Eagle that a part of Sum
ner county had been visited by a heavy
hailstorm Sunday morning. The hail
started in about two miles east of Con-
way Springs and Travelled in southeast
erly direction for a distance of nearly
eighteen miles, and about half a mile
wide and making a clean sweep of every
thing The wheat was pounded into the
ground as was the oats and the corn
was riddled. In speaking of the mat
ter Mr.. Stewart said: There will not
be a grain OF wheat or oats raised in
all that strip OF country and 1 think
the farmers will have TO plant their corn
over. 1t is a big damage 10 those far
mers as they were depending a great
deal on their wheat and oats and not
much on corn. The peaches and apples
and other fruit was also knocked off the
trees
