of escape about 2.30 O'Clock and were
out by $3.50. They reached the ground
by tying their blankets together and
hanging them from the window.
They made their way east on Elm
street to the Santa Fe railroad thence
north to the stock yards, hoping that
they might be able to board an east
bound train that would carry them out
of the city.
The other prisoners were the first to
discover the boys absence and at once
notified Sheriff. Schad. who started i'm
mediately for the stock yards. thinking
it would be at that place the boys would
attempt to leave Wichita at once for
Davenport, Iowa, where it is known they
have an aunt living.
The sick one, Ralph, was the first one
discovered, lying under a corn crib. The
other was seen and followed by a man
named Thomas of Winfield, who is a
trusty at the Jail The boy was later
captured, with the assistance of S. c.
Mcclure of Derby, two miles north of
the stock yards on the Missouri Pacific
tracks.
Sheriff Schad last visited the boys cell
at II o'clock and found everything all
right. Charley Evans, an electrician,
who is a prisoner there, gave Ralph med
icine at l o'clock 1t was he who first
discovered that the boys were gone.
He did not notify anyone. as he sup
posed t-e boys had been moved to an
other cell. 1t was not until o'clock
that the prisoners discovered the absence
of the boys and aroused the sheriff.
1t is not known whether the boys used
any instrument other than the fork
found in escaping, as they refuse to tell.
The escape was made in such quiet
manner that prisoners sleeping in the
next room heard nothing Sheriff Schad
was very much surprised at the boys
escape, as the condition of the sick one
was such that he could not possibly have
gone very far away.

TIME LIMITS EXPIRED.
Truant Officer Compelled to Resort to
HarSher Means

The time limit on several notices served
on Wichita people refusing TO send their
children to school was up last night, and
today action is expected from the truaTt
officer
AS with most laws, the truancy one
has its violators Parents always have
troll of their children, and it is hard for
some of them TO acknowledge any other
authority over the beings for whom they
have sweat blood" at times. However,
the Kansas legislature took upon itself
10 order that all children of certain ages
be given "A schooling, and a truant officer
to enforce the order was provided for.
]. H. Mercer is doing this service in
Wichita. He served the aforementioned
notices some time ago and this morning
will be compelled to see that the law is
carried out by landing the children of
these rebellious mothers and fathers in
the school room.
Officer Mercer recites many interesting
incidents in his work. Especially inter
esting are the excuses made to him by
the parents not wishing to comply with
the law. He says that some people do

have any kind of education, desiring.
rather. that they have their own way IN
wishing to run wild. One father is an
old school teacher and he prefers to in
struct his own children. His desire can
be carried out all right, but the law "a
quires that he take an examination pre-
paratory showing that he is capable Of
teaching, and, of course, an old teacher
who has probably taken forty such ex-
aminations can't see the sense in taking
any more and he balks Another parent

public schools There are too many
temptations in her boys or girls way az

1t is no use to argue with her by telling
how the roughness and Independence of
the school boy is the making of every kid
on the play grounds. She won't believe
it.
These are samples of the truancy Off

DISASTROUS FIRE
ON MEAD AVENUE
Home of Fred Campbell Was
Totally Destroyed.
ORIGIN Is NOT KNOWN
More Than $1,000 Worth of
Property Was Burned.

Fire early yesterday morning at about
4:30 o'clock totally destroyed the resi-
dence at 9l5 North Meade avenue, be-
longing to Mrs Z. E. Burke and the
household goods of Mr.. and Mrs Fred
Campbell, who made that place their
home The cost OF the building is esti-
mated at between $500 and 500 1t is
insured for s4oo The furniture of Mr.
Campbell is insured for $3.50
1t was AS o'clock in the morning whel
neishbors of the Campbelis awoke and
saw flames issuing from the house. When
first discovered the fire had gained great
Roadway. The flames eveloped the house,
so completely at that tine that it was
impossible even to Tell in what part Of
The building it originated
An alarm was turned in, and the de-
partment responded quickly. AS the prin-
cipal part of the house was already burn
ed before the department was called out,
it was impossible TO save the building
or any of the contents. About ali the
department could do was to keep other
nearby residences from catching fire and
to extinguish the flames.
At the time of the fire, there was no
one at home in the Campbell residence.
Mrs. Campbell was away visiting friends
and Mr.. Campbell was at work at the
power house of the Wichita Railroad
and Light company, where he is employ
ed He was notified of the fire and hur-
rjed home, only to find that all of his
household goods were destroyed. He says
that he has no idea how the canhagra-
ton originated. The last time he was
in the house was at o'clock of the even
ing before. At that time he ate sup
per and returned to work The burned
dwelling was a four story house and in
good repair 1t has been owned but a
short time by Mrs. Burke.
Mr. Campbell had lived in the house
but about one month. At the time of
his removal there, he had invested a
considerable sum of money in two new
carpets. a bicycle, an almost new organ
and a fine sewing machine, which were
among the other things destroyed BY the

Hill met it at Worcester avenue, where
he jumped aboard.
" You can give me $500 now and we
