bers on the program, including the
dreamy waltz, sehottisehe and two
step. The grand march was lead by

Mai Erwin, followed next by Mr..
Tom Reynolds and Miss Files.
Thirty-five couples participated In
the grand march. Between each
number ice cream and cake was
served. In the ante-rooms there
were games of chess, cards and
checkers for those who did not wish
to take part In the dance. II was

The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1903-12-19
ARRESTED FOUR BOYS.
Who Are Charged With Breaking Int
FREIGHT Car.

Oscar Abbott Charles Shocks, Robert
Barrett and Gerald Mahaney, four boys
whose ages are from IA to 16 years. were
arrested last night and taken 10 the city
prison. The boys are charged with break
ing open and entering a Rock Island
merchandise car yesterday afternoon at
Furley, two stations north of Wichita.
After school yesterday 1t was sad the
the boys boarded a north-bound Rock
Island train and went up the line as far
as FNarley. where they met another
freight train headed for Wichita.
They broke the seals on one of the
box cars in this train and entered for
the purpose of returning to Wichita
They were not discovered until the
train arrived in the city and they at
tempted to alight at the Murdoch ave-
rue crossing. The trainmen saw them and
the two who had already alighted were
captured and placed in the csboose- The
other two were locked in the car and
when the train arrived at the station
they were all turned over TO the police
and taken 10 the city lookup.
Nothing was taken from the car,thcush
several packages were broken open. They
are held ut the city building awaiting
the decision OF the railroad company.

HE WILL NOW BE
AN HONEST MAN
Former Wichitan Now Pays
for Street Car Ride.
TO GET RIGHT WITH GOD
Sends Fifteen Cents from CAL
ifornia to Morrison.

The Wichita Railroad and Light COM
pany is now fifteen cents richer all on
account of former Wichira3 man get
ting religion AMI returning fifteen cents
for three rides that he stole from the
company
Superintendent ". r. Morrison OF the
Street Railway company has received
letter from q man who went from here
to California to live. He states in his
letter that while he lived here he rode on
the street cars a great many times and
can remember of riding three times
without paying his fare.
He says he is trying to get right with
the Lord and that fifteen cents keep
bothering him. 1t seems to be in the
way and that is the reason he assigns
for sending the money back to the
superintendent He is certainly a pretty
honest man if that fifteen cents was
the only load that prevented his entering
the pearly gate to purity.
Superintendent Morrison asked that the
mans name be suppressed because he
supposed that a man who did an honest
thing like that would rot want it pro-
claimed from the house tops.
Now that the California man has made
up his mind to live Il Christian life it
is doubtless a relief to him to be able
to correct this little worng that he COM
mitted against Wichitas street car COM
pany. He is fortunate If he has not
done greater evils beyond his power
to make right
Some people seem to think that cor
porations are not entitled to the same
treatment accorded to individuals. This
California man is perhaps not the only
man who ever lived in Wichita who
would beat corporation out of five
cents and disdain to cheat a neighbor.
This Californian seems to have a pretty
correct idea of things because he con-
Guided that in taking fifteen hents from
the corporation he injured himself and
it was on that account he returned it.
