Npgress Stole Il Purse

Friday morning two colored women
visited the millinery store of Miss
Carrie Priboth and began dickering
for hair switch. During the negotia-
tions, one OF then sat down beside a
table on which Miss Priboth had left
her purse. The dusky damsel adroitly
dropped her handkerchief over the
purse and when she picked up her kerr
chief happened to grasp the purse
also, The loss OF the purse was not
noticed until some time later and then
Miss Priboth remembered the incident
and notified the police.
A good description of the two color
ed women was secured and the officers
hunted for them. They found and
placed under arrest Millie King, but
could not find the other woman, who
is a stranger and lives in Ottawa. She
is supposed TO have gone home. The
King woman asserts that the other
woman, named on the complaint
"Mary DOe," took the purse. An
effort is being made to secure "Mary."
The purse contained some postage
stamps, thirty-fve cents in money and
the key to the store. This last is the
most important as the entire purse
was valued at small figure. Mary
Doe is believed to be the same woman
who stole some wearing apparel from
another lola colored woman some
time ago.

Bartlett Opnoses Sewers.

Seth Bartlett was in townFriday to
register kick on the proposed site OF
the sewer basins and outlet. Tho
Bartlett heirs own tract Of land
close to the site selected and they
clam that its value will be deprecl
ated by the locating of the sewer out
let where now planned. They have an
idea in their heads that a great big
factory will one day be located on
their land-presumably the several
times talked OF new cement plant-and
hence they are particularly interested
in the sewer talk. If the expected
buyers object to the sewers the Bart.
let's will feel much wronged. 1t is
expected that they will fight the award

THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
Some Interesting New Material Being
Secured for the Forthcoming
State Report.

Prof. Haworth, of the State Uni
versity, and his assistants are still at
work in this section, gathering mater
ial for Volumn VIII on the Lead and
Zinc" of Kansas. Other reports con
tanning some of the information to be
preserved in this report have been is
sued but the one being prepared will
cover more ground.
The smelter people have received
Mr.. Haworth very cordially and he is
being given every assistance in pros
ecuting his work. For instance. he
will be able to tell just how much gas
is consumed in smelling pound OF
zinc. The output of the smelters and
many interesting facts will enter into
the summary.
In this connection il it is interest
ing to lola people to know that the
Lanyou Zinc Company, and their ac-
tiou will doubtless be followed by the
other companies, has decided to make
an exhibition of spelter and rolled
zinc at the fifth International Mining
Congress, which meets in Butte, Mon
tana, September /, ,, 3, and 4. This
congress will attract many mining
men and good display there canrot
help but be a big ad for the manuiac-
turing town of Kansas. Moreover the
men who use zinc will attend aud the
display made may easily help to en-
large the market Of the smelters. All
the mineral interests of Kansas will
take part and the salt industries Of
Hutchinson particularly ought to de-
rive benefit from an exhibit. The
congress is being backed by Senator
Clark and a visit to the meeting will
include somo interesting observation
OF the greatest copper plant on earth.
The volume now being prepared by
Prof. Haworth will probably be ready
for distribution in September and it is
certain that lola people will want
numerous copies. Considerable local
history will be worked into the story,
the gas and smelter business being so
closely related in this case that a his
tory Of one necessitates Il history Of
the other.

SUES FOR SONS SERVICES
John Stout Asks Nicholson For the
Money Ills Injured Son could
Earn Until II.

Rather an unusual suit, but one
recognized as having merit by the
law, lis that filed by John Stout
against George +. Nicholson, for
81, 1925, the amountof moneyhis son
Earl would have earned had he not
been injured last spring but had kept
at work for Nicholson from that time
to May, 1905, atwhich time Earl would
have come of age.
On February IL, 1902, Earl Stout, a
son of John, was working at the
Nicholson smelter. He was eengaged
in feeding a crusher and tripped on a
pipe close by, falling in such a way
that his arm, outstretched to save him,
fell right between the revolving iron
crushers. Before the machinery could
be stopped he was drawn into the
crusher and his arm mashed terribly
nearly to the shoulder. Amputation
was necessary.
Some time later suit was brought
in the name of Earl Stout for SS, 500
against Mr., Nicholson, in which it
was specified that he sued for pain,
injury and loss of time and wages.
The statutes contain n clause which
gives to father the right to his sons
earnings up to the time when he comes
of age. 1t is not known whether Stout
had been getting his sons wages
previous to the injury, but that, it
seems, makes no difference. The
amount his son could have earned, at
his wage of $l.25 day which he was
drawing when hurt, has been figured
up to May II, 1905, when Earl will be
twenty-one years old, and the father
sues for that amount.

Tracey Once at HnmbeIdt.

The sheriff of Crawford county says
that convict Tracey, recently killed in
Oregon once served time in his Jail
for horse-stealing.
SIN the latter part of October, 1885,
one night Tracey stole a team of
horses, saddle and bride from a
farmer at McCune and rode down the
main street on one of the horses lead
ing the other with one hand and flour
ishing a gun with the other. He then
rode north from McCune across Grant
township twenty miles to the farm of
j. w. Gampler near Brazliton. There
using the Same boldness which char
acterized him, he stole u three seated
hack and two sets Of harness. He
calmly put the harness on the horses,
hitched them to the hack and drove off.
He arrived in Humboldt, Allen coun-
ty, in time for breakfast. 1t was as
daring and nervy piece Of thieving as
ever known in the criminal annals of
Southwestern Kansas. He was chased
to the northwestern part of the state
and finally arrested. He was brought
back to Girard and bound to the dis
trict court by Justice w. b. Craw-
ford. The Jail record shows that he
was received in the Jail November 4,
1885. The record gives his name as
Thomas Harry Tracey, and states
that he was seventeen years of age, 5
feet 81 inches high, with brown eyes,
auburn hair and fair complexion, The
record gave his home as Paola, Kan.
At the June term of court he was
convicted of grand larceny and sem
fenced by Judge Chandler to two years
and six months in the state peni-
tentiary.
