CONTRACT LET
FOR MASONRY
Excavations Being Made for
Big RoetzeI Building.
TO BE FOUR STORIES HIGH
Will be Built Almost Entirely
of Brick.

Yesterday the contract was let for the
masonry on the big Roetzel building. on
West Douglas avenue TO Julius Walters.
The excavations were begun several days
ago, and will soon be in readiness for the
masons. The contract for the carpenter
work will be let today.
When completed this building viii be
one of the finest and most substantial
buildings on West Douglas. 1t will cost
at least sl6,cc9, and will be built solid
from the ground up. The plans call for
building three stories high, with walls
and foundation strong enough 10 support
two more stories. Architect Parsons
stated yesterday that it was possible the
building would be made four stories high
in the beginning.
The dimensions of the building are 6tx
$50 feet 1t will face Douglas avenue and
run back to the alley. Tracks run near
the building on the east side. making IT
a very valuable location for ware
house, for which it is being built. The
first floor above the ground will be
thrown into one large room without
partition. The second. third and fourth
floors will have only a few partitions. as
the whole building is to be used as an
implement warehouse. The basement
will be deep and for all practical pur-
poses will be equal to a floor.
The building will be constructed almost
entirely of brick. The front will be of
pressed brick, and few stone will be
used around windows. The front of the
first floor will be of glass, with steel and
iron pillars supporting the upper stories
The plans for this building are drawn.
the contracts have been let. and in very
short time West Douglas avenue will be
graced with as fine a warehouse as there
is in Wichita.

Material was unloaded in the Frisco
wards Yesterday for the new round house

agent, stated last night the work would
begin on its construction at once. While
the roundhouse will not be a large one,
according to the plans, ii will be substan-
tial and will have every convenience OF
a modern roundhouse.
The building will be located about one
half block south of Kellogg street on Mos
ley avenue. Its cost is estimated at 500
or over and it will be one of the best
buildings of its kind in Wichita. 1t will
be built almost entirely of brick and Will

Mrs. Anna CIorere Has Visions of
Great Wealth.

Mrs. Anna Clorere was adjudged insane
by jury in the probate court yesterday
afternoon. She is woman about IS years
of age. a native of Missouri. a resident
of Kansas about fifteen years and resi-
dent of Wichita some six years For
number of years she has been addicted to
the use of morphine and cocaine and the
continued use of these have unbalanced
her mind.
She has visions of great wealth coming
to her shortly but thinks people are try
ing to keep her from receiving this money
and are also trying to injure her bodily.
For some time the members of the family
and her neighbors have been kept in great
suspense because she often made threats
to injure herself and others and they
were afraid she would do some of the
things she said she would undertake. 1t
was only as last resort that the infor-
nation against her was filed in the pro-
bate court and until she was in such a
condition that she was likely to injure her
self or some of her relatives or friends.
