| II is sometimes claimed that great men
grow in the estimation of the masses
with the growth of time. Some old set
tiers were in Joe Aliens drug store The
other day, talking about some of the char
acters of early Wichita and they sll
| agreed that the character of these men
| seemed to grow more desperate as time
| passed.
Rowdy Joe. Red and Curly Marshall
were mentioned and the old settlers all
agreed Lat these men are now regarded
as being much worse than they really
We're
They were all men surrounded by hard
influences and each one of them were
ever ready with his revolver to engage
in hand-to-hand fights to the death. This
was true but in spite of that fact. there
are worse men in Wichita today than
any OF these three noted characters.
The burglar who enters Wichita homes
at dead Of night armed TO kill in case
he is molested, is a worse man than any
of the noted toughs in the cowboy days
of Wichita Red or Curly Marshall
would have disdained TO go out on a
street car line IL Wichita had had elec-

the motorman who works fifteen hours
a day for his money. If they had turn
ed up alive last Wednesday night when
the two masked robbers were holding up
the motorman in front of the Friends
university, they would have punctured
the hides of those robbers with their
trusty revolvers until holding up Wichita
street car men would have become a very
unpopular past-time.
Rowdy Joe, the old timers agreed. was
the most dangerous man Of the three
named. He killed Red in a scrap and
finally died with his own boots on" In
Colorado; but. for all that. Rowdy Joe
had a standing with the Wichita business
men of that day. His word was good for
any reasonable amount of money Sol
and Morris Cohn. w. c. Woodman or
Tom Trickey would have sold him any
amount OF goods on his word and F. G.
Smyth would have sold him the finest
machine or vehicle in his house on time.
When Joe said he would pay the money

Male a Million IN Excess

1t is estimated that there are now
IN the United States 2,5C0,000 more
single men OF manageable age than
there are single women, the official
figures being as follows: Unmarried
men, 10. 448, 1853; unmarried girls and
women, 7,573,8l9. The male popu-
lation of the United States, through
the excess OF male immigration, and
the higher male birth rate, is more
than a million in excess OF the fe
male. The span OF life is, on the
average, longer for woman than
for man, and the manageable age
for women is several years younger
than the average for men. AS con-
sequence OF this, the number OF
widows is very largely in excess OF
the number Of widowera, the figures
being 100000 and 100000, respec.
lively. There are more divorced
women who have not remarked than
there are divorced men, and for all
these reasons the number of the
single men OF manageable age is
larger than the number OF single
women. In New York it is 240, 900,
in Pennsylvania 10000. in Ohio
100000, in California l50,0O0,in Tex
,as 10000, and in Kansas $4,000. In
Msssac usetts the plumber OF un-
married men exceeds the number OF
unmarried women by only few
thousand. In Utah there are 5000
unmarried men and $4,000 unmarried
women OF manageable age. In
Washington, the capital, the number
OF single men is $4,000 and Of single
women about the same.
