ASSAULT WITH BRICK
Harry Bennett Vas Knocked
Down and Robbed.
UNCONSCIOUS FOR HOURS
Clothing Ri7ed in Search of
Money.

Harry Bennett, a 15-year boy en-
plcyed as a driver by S. B. Herman, who
runs the grocery store at 1102 East Doug
las avenue, was assaulted in the barn
door at the back of the store building.
The assault was for robbery, as the boy
was knocked down with a brick, his
pockets searched and his vest taken off.
searched and thrown into a weed patch
near by. The robbery occurred about
half past o'clock Saturday night but
was not discovered until nearly midnight.
Shortly before half past Harry Zen
nett started for supper. He did not re-
turn that night, which occasioned some
surprise among the other employees, but
this was explained when one said that
he heard Harry say that he must go up
town that evening and purchase pair of
shoes. 1t was thought that Harry went
Up town and his father asked him to do
a little work for HIM, which kept the
Iael so late that he did not return to the
store.
It was after II o'clock when Mr.. Herman
closed his store and with another of the
clerks went to the barn to see that the
horses were all right and TO lock up.
They found Harry Bennett before the
barn door, covered with dirt and blood,
and apparently dead. The two men be-
gan working with the lad and soon re-
vived him. soft brick by his side COW
cred with blood and skin told the story
of the assault and the boy has as yet
been unable to tell anything about it
After the lad was revived he was taken
to his home, where his wounds were
dressed BY physician. This brick struck
him in the neck, just under the left
ear, cutting big cash. He was uncon-
scious when picked up and his talk
about the assault is rather incoherent.
He is progressing nicely and it is ex-
pected that he viii be able to tell the
story possibly today.
The police theory IS that a man or
men went to the barn, which is rather Sc
cluded. and stood close to the doorway.
On Saturday nights the drivers of deliv-
cry wagons often have considerable
sums of money in their pockets from col
lections and the robbers were waiting
for a driver to come in TO put up his
horse as they often did, before going to
the store and making returns of their
collections. AS Harry Bennett appeared
before the door the brick was thrown
and the lad was knocked senseless. The
robbers Immediately went through his
pockets. He had but 10 cents in his pocl-
cts at the time In his vest pockets were
several rolls of paper order slips which
had been filled and the lad instead Of
throwing the slips on the floor rolled
them up and stuck them in his pocket
The thieves evidently thought these rolls
We're money. as they took the vest off.
took out the paper rolls and threw the
vest into the weeds, where it was fouAi
Sunday morning.
The police have been unable to fathom
the mystery and have nothing to work
on. as no one could he found near tie
store who had seen any suspicious char
acters around or any one go into the
harm during the evening.

HE SOLVES PROBLEM
Superintendent A. H. Webb
Tells What Mo. Pac. Needs.
DEFENDS HIS EMPLOYEES
They Must Not Be Punished
for Growth of Wichita.

Some of the police force must think
that the Missouri Pacific employs a lot
Webb, yesterday as he sat in his Office
in the Missouri Pacific depot
since returning had learned that the po-
lice force had arrested some of the men
streets of the city with cars. Mr.. Webb
was not feeling very Well pleased over the
arrest and he incidentally gave a few
facts about the blockade Of cars in this
city.
1T seems to me-" he said, that some
people blame the Missouri Pacific be-
cause the business of this town has
grown faster than the railroads. There
is no question but that we need more
switch yards but where are We going
TO put them. We have ground on the
West Side but there are too many streets
over there and we would encounter the
same trouble there that we do on this
side.
The present switch yards between
Ninth and Twelfth strets were esta blished
about fifteen years ago when the bust
ness of our road in this city was about
sic. 900 a month and now we are simply
trying TO do $4,000 worth of business on
the same room. l want you to give Mr..
Darrigrand my compliments and tell him
that / am glad that he was able TO un-
derstand the situation and advise the
people OF this city to treat the railroads
fairly
We have good men working in our
switch yards and we pay them good
wages and they are citizens of the town.
Those who do not own their homes are
buying lots and going into the building
and loan association to build their homes.
L think it is pretty hard to have the po-
lice arrest such men We employ in our
switch yards and throw tsem into prison
when their families are waiting for them
at home and not even giving the man
chance to come to this Office to get bonds
men. 1t looks to me like an effort to
punish the employees of the Missouri
Pacific because Wichita has grown so
last tnat We nave an occasional DlOckaQe
of cars
What can be done to relieve the sit
uation?" Mr.. Webb was asked
well. it has come to pass that our
track facilities are just about enough TO
handle the increased business of the
city and what the Missouri Pacific needs
is switch yard of 1000 or 1900 cars ca
pacity to handle our through business and
keep the yards that We now have for
the local business. This switch yard
for the through business out TO be north
or south of the city where there are not
so many streets. 1t takes time to secure
ground and build a large amount of
switch room and people ought to give us
a little time TO look around. The MIS-
souri, Pacific has been building new pas
senger and freight depots and trying TO
keep pace with the growth of Wichita
and if people will just be patient we
will be abreast of the times after a lit
tie while. Don't be hard on us if we
get just little behind the city"
