in WHOSE HANDS is DUNN2
This Is the Question Answered in Two
Different WAYS.

Different Ways.
The question puzzling the average fel-
low now who has watched the develop
ments in the John Dunn case, is, in
whose hands is Dunn now?" County
Attorney Comfy got out a second com
plant Tuesday afternoon and served il
on Dunn Just five minutes before Chief
of Police Burt and Marshal Schadd ar
rived with the official order of the city
court recalling the first warrant for big
amy against the prisoner
Sheriff Simmons declares that the sec
ond warrant is valid and as it was al
ready served on the prisoner. Burt S
state warrant could have no effect. IN
short Simmons says, Dunn is stlll his
prisoner and is guarded by his temper
AIRY deputy sheriff. Or. Clark at St
Francis hospital.
On the other hand. Chief Burt says:
I'VE served our warrant oneJohn Dunn
immediately after the courts order to
simmons OF the withdrawal of his war
rant for bigamy. That puts Dunn un-
der as as the state warrant was served
by us"
How about the second complaint"
asked the Eagle reporter.
That second complaint and warrant
is void. II IS not a legal paper. No sec
ond warrant for the same offense can be
served before the first warrant is recall
ed and officially Sheriff Simmons did
not know that the court had dismissed
the first warrant until Marshal Schadd
served the order on him. when we arriv-
ed at the hospital Simmons had al
a1y served the second warrant. prob
ably on information Of the dismissal
through the telephone, but that does not
count by law and therefore the second
warrant was no good at an. We acted
according 10 our attorneys advice and
know We are I'm the right"

NORTH END is SPREADING
People Ask Cause of So Much Build
ing.

Strangers riding north Of the stock
yards line are surprised at the great num-
Der Of new houses in that part of the
city and they are invariably asked what
new industry there is in that section OF
the city to call for so much building The
vacant lots there are being occupied with
new houses and there has been quite a
town built north Of Twenty-f1rst street
within a year.
People differ as to the cause Of so much
building In that section of the city. Some
claim that Cudshy coming here is tho
cause, while others claim that the re
building of the Dold house and the build
ing of the Watson mills and the Nevling
elevator inspired confidence in tha1 sec
ton of the city and that caused the
building boom.
There is one other reason assigned that
seems more plausible than any Of the
rest. That is that Wichita is growing
and that the building OF the new street
car lire and the ten minute service on
the stock yards line. has made the north
end a more desirable place in which to
live.
Commodore Nelson says that in all the
towns where his company has built cleo
trio street railways, the suburban lines
have caused more residence houses to be
built along them and that property along
these lines in a short time became very
valuable
