ORDER TO MOVE
FROM WEST SIDE
Colored Man Received Anony-
nous Letter.
TEN DAYS Is THE LIMIT
Is Only Negro Family Living
West of River.
TEN DAYS is THE LIMIT

NJ. E. Mckelley. colored man employ
ed by the street railway company living
at 81 West Douglas evenue, the only COL
ored man living west of the river, received
an anonymous letter ordering him to move
from the West Side within ten days. The
letter is as follows:
West Wichita
Aug %. 1906.
Mr.. McKelly
Sir
1 write you this as a notice that the best
thing for you to do is move from this side
of the river you are the only black family
on this side and We don't allow such peo-
pie here the sooner you move the bet
ter for you now take warning at this for
you wont be given over ten days to get out.
West End mob
grasshopper Ike in
Command.
The letter was written on cheap note
paper with a lead pencil. The writing is
very poor. no punctuation was used and
few capitals The above is verbatim.
Mr.. McKelley has been living on the
West Side since last spring. For years
there has been but one colored family
living on the West Side and this is the
first time that any one has sent a letter
to them ordering them TO move away Dir.
McKelley lived here twelve OF fifteen
years ago and worked for the Crystal
ice plant several years and was there at
the time of the explosion of a tank in the
building. He worked at the Wichita
steam laundry for a couple of years and
then went to Nebraska.
Many West Side people were shown the
letter yesterday and il occasioned consid
cradle surprise among the business men
and residents, as none had ever thought
of ordering Mr. McKelley and his family
to move from that side of the river and il
was on the advice of the business men
that Mr. McKelley decided that he would
not move from his present home at the
present time
Mr. McKelley was pretty well scared
when he received the letter but those who
read it have tried TO treat the matter as
a joke but the colored man and his wife
do not feel that 1t was written in fun.
The letter was shown to the police and
detectives are trying to locate the man
who wrote the letter.
