JAY GROVES WAS
SHOT AND KILLED
Father Found Son Lying on
Doorstep.
WITH BULLET WOUND
Boy Stepped Out Doors and
Never Returned.

Jay Groves. the 12-year-old son Of Mr..
and Mrs. Z. S. Groves, it is supposed, ao-
cidentally shot and killed himself with
a % calibre winchester rifle last night
about 10 o'clock at his home, 1882 East
Hunter avenue When found on the door
step in the rear of the Groves home, the
boy was lying with bullet hole di-
rectly over his heart. He was carried
inside and DR.. Whitlock was called. The
boy died however, before the physician
reached the scene.
According to the story told by relatives
OF the dead boy, young Groves spent yes
ter5ay on n hunting trip. He returned
an the afternoon and left his winchester
standing against the rear Of the house.
About 10 o'clock last night just before
retiring he stepped into the backyard
presumably for the purpose Of getting his
gun.
When he did not return Mr. Groves,
the lads father, went to see what was
the matter. He found his boy dying from
the effects of the wound and the gun
was lying close b..
While no one saw the shot fred which
caused the death of the boy. it is the
supposition of friends and relatives that
he was trying to draw a charge from the
winchester when it exploded and he was
instantly killed It is thought the boy
placed the butt of the gun against the
house and the muzzle pointed toward
himself. As the lads clothing is burned,
1t is supposed that the muzzle was either
against the boys body or nearly so. when
the shot was fired That would account
for The fact that no one ::eard the noise
Of the explosion.
Young Groves had lived in this city with
his parents for many years. He was
student at the Kellogg public school. His
father. z. S. Groves, is proprietor OF
the Wichita Broom Factory, situated on
Pa+tie aVenup

gross violations of the ordinance and
every day complaints are fled with the
mayor. Some people have had to walt
half an hour at one crossing. before they
could get over the track, and then, going
farther down Douglas avenue. would have

work have been kept so long in many
cases that they arrived al their work late.
The people have become thoroughly exas-
perated over the matter and from the
complaints that nave been flied ii becomes
necessary for the city authorities to put
a stop TO this practice. Mayor Mclean
has instructed the chief of police TO have
arrested anyone violating this ordinance,
and he will be severely dealt with. Mayor
Mclean. in speaking of the matter yes
terday said:
There will be no let up on this new
order until this practice OF the railroads
is stopped. The only way for these per-
sons TO escape stiff fine is TO stop
blocking the street crossings Of the city.
The companies have not only blocked
the crossings by allowing their freight
trains 10 stand over them for from ten
TO thirty minutes. but have in many
cases allowed empty cars to stand on the
crossings for three or four hours at

ARE ARRESTED FOR
PASSING BAD MONEY
Counterfeit Dollars w ere
Spent at Restaurant.
BY 2 WELL-DRESSEO MEN
Federal Authorities viii Be
Notified Today.

Two men who gave their names as
Henry Cunningham and Rolla Starkback,
were arrested yesterday morning by
James Fox, policeman. and placed in the
city jail charged with passing counter
felt money.
Starkman and Cunningham were ar
rested at the instigation of Mccarthy
brothers. who say the men gave coCn-
terfeit dollar to the man in charge Of
the lunch counter in return for break
fast The meal amounted to 50 cents.
They gave McCarthy's employee dollar
and he returned 40 cents in change.
AS soon as the dollar was found to be
counterfeit, one of the Mccarthy brothers
went in search of a policeman and the
other kept track of the two men. After
leaving the restaurant they turned south
On fremont, where Fox caught them
short distance down the street. The men
accompanied him to the station without
any hesitation whatever. In fact, it is
said that neither asked even for what he
was being arrested.
When Starkback and Cunningham were
searched at the station. prior TO being
locked up, another dollar. said to be
counterfeit, was found in thep ossission
OF one of them.
The dollars are a remarkably good imi-
tation Of the money made by Uncle Sam
and it would be hard for casual observer
to detect that either is a counterfeit
without examining ii closely.
II has later beeu learned that some one
supposed to be one OF the two men now
under arrest, passed another counterfeit
dollar at McCarthy's place Thursday
night. 1t is also said that two men an
swering their description tried TO pass
e counterfeit half dollar in return for
two drinks at the saloon on the first floor
of the building occupied by the Arlington
hotel on East Douglas avenue. The bar
tender detected that the half dollar was
not genuine and returned it to the men.
According to the police Starback and
Cunningham arrived in Wichita Wednes-
day night or Thursday orning. BoJn
were well-dressed when placed under ar
rest and might be taken for prosperous
business men. Each is more than 25 years
of age, but neither is older than 80 or
IS years
When asked last evening what steps will
be taken toward convicting the men OF
passing counterfeit money, Frank Burt,
chief of police. said: For the present
We are looking up further evidence in
the case. it is somewhat or puzzler to
me- The matter will be taken up with
Frank Sherman, clerk Of the federal
court today.
The offense OF passing counterfeit
money is one that can be prosecuted only
by the federal authorities. In case it
is decided to prosecute the men, Mr..
Sherman will be called upon to issue
a warrant. II will he sworn to by who
ever wants to push the case against the
men. They would then be taken in charge
by the federal authorities and held Tor
trial

WANT NEW TRIALS.
Motions Were Filed in Three Cases
for Another Hearing

iOT N1OLnCT EICoitH9.
Three months for new trials were
filed yesterday in the district court.
The first, Lloyd r. Graham VS.. The
Wichita Railroad and Light company,
was H1p for trial last week and was dis
missed by a demurrer to the evidence
furnished by the plaintiff, which was
sustained by Judge Dale.
Among other causes for asking for a
new trial the motion states that the
court erred in refusing to submit the case
to the jury on the evidence introduced
by the plaintiff. The suit resulted from
an accident which happened here some
time ago, when young Graham was at
tempting to cross the street and was run
into and injured by one of the defendant
cars Matson, Keith & Matson are the
plaintiffs attorneys.
The next was the /. p Campbell suit
against the Santa Re Railway company.
which was this week decided in favor Of
the plaintiff. allowing him SO damages
1or the delay of car load of stock which
he shipped over that road The motion
contains the usual causes for asking for
the new trial.
The last is the Maxwell-Hill land case,
which was tried This week in the district
court and verdict given to the plaintiff
The motion states that the court erred in
instructing the jury to bring in a verdict
IN favor of the plaintiff. thereby pre-
venting the defendant form having a fair
trial. This is the suit brought against
HILL for the balance due on a half sec
ton of land in Reno county, which he
had purchased of Maxwell. Houston &
Brooks are the attorneys for the defend
ant. Campbell & Son. and s. p. Amidon
for the plaintiff.
