Complaint Against 0'Brannon.
HAS NOT BEEN LOCATED
Alleged 10 Have Employed Fic-
titCiouS Names.

Yesterday morning a complaint was
sworn out in the city court by w. E.
Dixon. manager OF the branch house Of
the Collum Commerce company in this
city, charging F. O'Bannon, an employe,
with embezzling funds belonging TO the
company to the amount OF $3.50. A war
rant was made out yesterday afternoon
but when the officers went to serve it
they could not find OBannon and IL was
learned last night that he has not been
seen in the city since yesterday noon.
He had not been located at a late hour
last night and it is thought that ne has
left the city.
The Colium Commerce company is
foreign company which leases household
goods to people over the city and coun-
try. and has number of men who travel
over the city and make these leases
o Bannon was one of these men. He
made the leases. then delivered the goods
to the lessees and it was by a clever
manipulation of the work detailed to him
that he is alleged to have committed the
crime charged. About two weeks ago Mr..
Dixon suspected that O'Bannon was do
ing little underhanded work. He was
making. more leases than usual and some
conflict was found in his account books.
Dixon began to investigate and found
that O'Bannon had been taking goods
from the Office under fictitious names,
pawning the goods and keeping the
money. This was very easy matter for
~, ~ -
the business is connected. The articles
are placed in homes and a weekly rental
is collected. O'Bannon could pay this
rental, representing that he had collect
ed ii from the lessees. The value of the
goods disposed of in this way is estimated
by Mr.. Dixon to be $3.50 and consists Of
rugs. curtains, silverware, clocks and
wringers Wednesday after Dixon had
collected all of the evidence he confront
ed O'Bannon with it and secured a COM
plete confession. Dixon at that time had
not determined to arrest O'Bannon and
retained him in his employ. Yesterday
forenoon while he was at the county at
torney's office making out the complaint
O'Bannon telephoned asking if Dixon had
been there and when notified that he had,
that a complaint was being sworn out
and took to flight. He left word that he
would see Dixon at the Office at l O'Clock,
but failed to keep his appointment
When he failed to do this the police
were notified and began a search for him.
The last place he was seen in the city was
at the corner OF Second and Main streets
about noon yesterday. Since then the
officers have been unable TO find any
traces OF him and have reached the con-
clusion that he has departed for parts
unknown.
O'Bannon had been in this city about
four months and came here from Orange
burg, S. c. He formerly roomed at 120
East Douglas, but for the past month
has been living at 3lS North Main
street. He is unmarried. When last seen |
he wore light suit of clothing and
straw hat. He speaks with a south |
ern accent and is said to be a very in |

4, LEAVE FOR NEBRASKA.
TWO Children Make Three Hundred
Mile Journey Alone.

ITO Mrs. ]. S. Garner. Beatrice, Neb.,
from Mrs. L. NJ. Jackson, Wichita, Kan"
The above inscription was written on two
tags, one of which was tied TO the cloth
ing of each little Albert and Mabel Car
ner aged and years, respectively, who
left Wichita yesterday morning at Il 20
o'clock to join their mother in Beatrice,
Neb. The children have been separated
from their mother about FIVE months.
When Mrs. Garner sent money to Mrs.
Jackson, matron of the Childrens Home,
thereby redeeming her children and for
their transportation TO her. Mrs Jackson
was indeed surprised. The children had
been here so long that the authorities Of
that institution had about decided that
the children had been deserted. as many
others often are. The children were hur-
riedly prepared for their journey and
while too young to understand perfectly
the nature of their trip they could under
stand that their mother was soon to be
found. and that was enough. They were
happy.
When Mrs. Garner arrived in Wichita
about five months ago from Woodward,
o. T., with her two children the family
was in destitute circumstances. The little
children, in fact, were almost totally
without the proper amount of wearing
apparel. The cause for the woman's and
childrens pitiful condition is said to have
been due TO worthless husband. He
refused to furnish either food or clothing
for the family. and Mrs. Garnet set out
for Beatrice, where she has relatives Iiv-
ing.
On their arrival here the woman and
children ran out of funds. The women
Of the Children's Home kindly agreed 20
care for the children until Mrs Garner
could procure employment and again
assume the care of them.
a short time later Mrs. Garner went
to Beatrice, promising the Children's
Home authorities that she would send for
the children as soon as possible. She
secured assistance from relatives upon
arriving at Beatrice, and also work, so
that now she has enough laid by to pay
for the sending of the children to her
and the caring for them afterward
1t was Mrs. Gamers intention TO come
to Wichita herself after the children She
was taken i'll short time ago and the
trip was out of the question. Being
anxious to have them with her. she decid- |
ed TO let them make the trip alone.

that their mechanical engineer had al

The Chamber of Commerce received a
letter yesterday from J. H. Warren Of
Minneapolis, Mimi. who writes asking
what prospects Wichita furnishes for a

he has a company capitalized at $4,000
and would like to establish a factory

be offered in the way of a site and
whether or not Wichita people would be

saying that he thought another casket

something could be done in the way Of

The factor which Is overlooked by
those who fear the ascendency of any
quixotic notion is the existence of the
average man. This individual is not a
striking personality, but he holds the
balance of power. Before any extrava
CANT idea can establish itself it must
convert the average man. He Is very
susceptible and takes a suggestion SO
readily that 1t seems to prophesy the
complete overthrow of the existing or
der of things. But was ever a CONVEX
SION absolute? The best theologians
say no. A great deal of the old Adam
Ia always left over. When the average
man takes up with a quixotic notion,
only 80 much of 1t is practically
wrought out as he is able to compre-
bend. The old Adam of common sense
continually asserts itself. The natural
corrective of luixotism Is Sancho Pan
zaism. The solemn knight, with his
head full of visionary plans. is follow
ed by squire who is as faithful as
his nature will permit. Sancho has no
theories and makes no demands on the
world. He leaves that sort of thing to
his master. He has the fatalism which
belongs to ignorant good nature and
the tolerance which is found in easy
going persons who have neither ideals
nor nerves. He has no illusions, though
he has all the credulity of ignorance
