DESERTED BY
THEIR FATHER
Complaint Filed in Probate
Court by Officer Stratton.
GIRLS AT MT. CARMEL
Interesting Story of Two
Young Ladies Experience.

TWO complaints have been fled in the
probate court of sedgwick county for the
commitment Of Bessie and Emma Madden
TO some coed home. 4 very interesting
and sad story is told by Manager E. I.
stratton OF the Childrens Home society
Of the state BE says that these two
girls. who are very refined, and Is and
Is years old. have been deserted as near
as he can ind out They have no home
but the place where they are staying now
and this cannot last much longer. for it
is an Institution which charges for train
ing girls.
1he story as told by Mr. strattou fol-
lows:
Several weeks asO I was called over
TO ut. Carmel academy on the West Side
By Sister Superior N. Isabelle. She told
me that this Bessie and Emma Madden
were sisters who had been left by their
father, ten months ago. and who had
not been back since. His name as given
me by her was James S Madden She
said that there was a bill of Sl69 for the
girls schooling and although they had
tried very hard TO locate the father they
had not succeeded. So the sister superior
asked that l take hold OF the case and
take care OF the two girls who seemed
TO have been deserted. From the con-
versation with the young ladies. I gath
cred that they were born and lived in
Texas the most OF their lives. About
Two years ago their father. with a step
mother, brought them up TO Oklahoma,
stopping at place seventy miles west OF
Lawton. About a year ago ne brought
them 10 Wichita ard put them in the
where they have been ever since
without seeing OF hearing from him.
Sister Superior Isabelle says that when +
he brought them he represented himself I
to be a travelling man out OF Wichita 4

said that he was getting q good salary I
and would settle the bills later, II is /
hoped that before the girls are brought +
into court this man viii appear and ex-
plain his queer actions. II there is an
explanation. l will bring the girls into
the probate court and give them hear
ing on the supposition that their father
has deserted them as a premeditated
scheme on the part OF him and his wife
The young ladies' are very gentle ard

HANDSOME CASINO
AT WESTHAMP TON
Architect Anderson Draws Plans
for New Theatre to Cost
Probably $4,000.

a handsome casino is to be built at once
at w WestLampton Park The plans have
already been drawn. Contractors are be-
ing asked to figure on bids for the work.
Mr.. D. Wiley Anderson, of this city, is
the architect He has completed his blue
prints, and it is likely that the specifca-
tions will be in the hands of the contrac-
tors this week, if they are not already SO
disposed Of.
This structure will be quite handsome
theatre. 1t will cost between $4,000 and
$4,000. 1t is to be completed, so it is un-
derstood, sixty days after the contract Is
let. Say that this will be tho last of this
week, or even the last of this month, that
will ensure the completion of the house
by the 50th of April-in plenty of time for
the summer season.
Brick will be used in the construction Of
the casino. In the interior first-class ma
terial will be used.
The completion of the Westhampton
Electric road is now the matter Of a few
days. The company has had to under
take a herculean task and overcome
well-nigi3 insurmountable obstacles, but
has, by perseverance, been able to do so.
Much has already been done to beautify
the park. Landscape gardeners have
been brought here from New York. 1t is
planned to have almost every popular
form of amusement out there.
The greatest work to be done, perhaps,
was the tunneling of the Belt Line. But
this has been dons Little, in fact, re-
mains to be done SO far as the compile
ton of the road is concerned
Another gigantic task was the construc-
ton Of the lake Tt is beautiful sheet
of water the company has now. But
there is q report current among the coun-
try people out there that the company
has never been able to get a title to
some of the land covered by the lake.
The owners, SO the report runs, will not
SELL None of the members Of the COM
pany could be seen last night to get at
the matter from their side.
