Court has just returned from visit to the Missouri
Training School for Boys and expresses profound
satisfaction at the excellence of the management of
that important State institution.

Mother CT J. M. Waegoner Thinks Son
Met Foul Play.

j. NJ. Waggoner the man from Harper
Kas., who was found by some secti5a
men, near the Santa Fe tracks in the
vicinity OF Harry street, Friday morning
IN an unconscious condition. and conveyed
to the Wichita hospital. is slowly recov-
erinG.
He is now able. at times, TO speak Of
the accident. and his conversation with
his mother leads her to believe that there
has been foul play.
To a reporter, last evening, Mrs. Wag-
goner talked as follows:
My son had charge of a short order
room in Harper. and is well known there.
He had been in Wellington attending the
street fair. and | received card from
MIN the day he was hurt. stating that
he would be at home the next day, ~
time for dinner. 1t said that he would
be in Hutchinson that night and leave
there for home in the morning. VIII Il
I speak to him Of the accident he seems
to grow restless. hut usually answers. 7
have asked him how he was hurt. and he
replied that he fell from the train ANA
asked NE if I have seen the man who
turned him over 1t is this that makes
me think mat he was probably foulN
dealt with. and because of the fact that
his watch and valise are missing, The
finding of the card in Johns pocket is g
mystery to me, as I am positive that
he had no intention whatever of becom-.
ing a brakeman. and il is my opinion
that the card was placed in his pock5t
by some person after he was hurt"
To the nurse with whom he talked when
he first regained consciousness. he said
that he was from Harper and was
bound for Oklahoma, and hat be
boarded the train from which he fell here
In Waggoners pockets We're found some
money and number of cigars. Finding
the money seems TO dispense any theory
that robbery could have been a motive
for foul play. although his watch AMI
valise are missing.

DRAFT FOR $500
is WORTHLESS
Stranger Gave Jeweler Bad
Check for S110.
TO PAY FOR DIAMOND
G. M. Howe Victim of Well
Dressed Individual.

G. NJ. Howe, the jeweler. would like
very much to see man who gave his
name as r T. Darling. Jr., who was a
well dressed a smooth talker and to
whom Mr. Howe sold a diamond for slio
for which he was given in payment a
check, which Mr.. Howe has later discov-
cred to be worthless
Mr.. Howe sold the diamond to the
stranger. no SAID his lame was R. T.
/ Darling. Jr.. or Octobs, 10. or on the
dag On which Cresceus broke the worlds
record at Inc far grounds. The latter
fact is an important par: of the story
for the reason that the lost time Mr..
Howe saw the man he told him he was
going 10 the fair grounds.
The matter was not reported to the po-
lice until Monday of this week. Howe
was 10th To believe for a long time that
the check was worthless and he kept it
in the hope that the man would return
and make it all right. Yesterday he de-
cided to tell the police OF the occurrence
which is a little over one week since the
man bought the diamond The police
have done hard work on the case since
The time Mr.. Howe reported his loss.
They think, however. that the man has
made good his escape from the city by
this time and that he is many miles from
Wichita.
Mr.. Howe first met the man who said
his name was Darling when he called at
his jewelry store and asked to see some
at $40 and asked Mr.. Howe that he ac-
cept a check in payment for the stone.
The stranger told Mr. Howe that he had
just deposited a draft in the Fourth Ma
tional bank for 1906 and that that fact
should be assurance enough that MI.
howe would get his money. 1t was.
That is. after Mr. Howe went TO the bank
and satisfied himself that the story the
man told about depositing the draft was
correct. But he neglected to wait until
the bank officers wired an Ohio bank on
which the draft was drawn, to see if it
was good. Some time after Mr.. Howe
had accepted the check in payment for
the diamond it was found that the draft
was worthless.
Mors of the stranger story about him
self was that he came to Wichita with
view to locating here. He mentioned in
cidentaIly that he intended TO call on r.
T. Darling a lumber man of this city.
whose names and initials arc the same as
those given by The stranger. He wanted
to see Mr.. Darling. who makes his home
in this city. about some mail Ii seems
that the correspondence of the two men
has been mixed lately, according TO the
strangers story. and he wanted TO get
some letters belonging 10 himself from
Mr.. Darling here and to return some
which he had belonging 10 Mr.. Darling.
A member OF the police department call
cd on Mr.. Darling yesterday to learn if
the stranger had been TO see him. Mr..
Darling is absent from the city and the
desired information could not be secured.
r. T Darling. Jr., as he signed the
check he gave Mr. Howe is man Of
medium height and was well dressed.
He is a smooth talker and appears to be
about . years of age. He has dark hair
and eyes. and was smooth shaver.
