THIRD TOWN IN COUNTY.
Banker Harper Tells About Growth Of
Conway Springs.

J. NJ Harper. president of the Bank Of
Conway Springs, was in the city yes
terday on business. He came to Wichita
in the spring of 1884, looking for a place
10 start a bank. He said he wanted to
get in new town and grow UP with it.
He stopped at the old fremont Hotel and
soon became acquainted with quite a
number of people in the city who advised
him in regard to the best town in which
to start bank. He used his own judg-
ment and selected Conway Springs and
says he started his bank in a wheat field.
When Mr.. Harper sat in the Fourth
National bank yesterday talking about
his town, some of those who had not
seen Conway Springs for good many
years thought the banker was joking
when he said they were paving the BUSH
ness street with brick. He says the peo-
pie of the town generally claim that the
place has 1900 inhabitants, but ne esti
mates 1000 as about the proper num-
Der. He claims that there are only, at
this time, two larger towns in Sumner
Comfy than Conway Springs.

CHECK FOR $500
WAS WORTHLESS
Two Oklahoma Men Favor
Former Acquaintance
BY GIVING HIM 1925
Watson Mills and Frank White
Want VIM. Harris.
BY GIVING HIM S125

Watson Mills and Frank White, who
have been operating threshing machihe
in Oklahoma, but who are now visiting
in Wichita. are mourning the loss Of sl25
in cash. which they claim to have adj
vanced on a check to a man named
William Harris. who formerly lived near
Augusta. II is alleged that the check.
which was for 500. is worthless.
Mills and White say that they knew
the man Harris at Augusta many years
ago. 1t has been about five years since
they had seen him until they met him
on the streets Monday night.
All three went out to take IL the city,
the fair and carnival. About 10 o'clock
Harris said that he was out Of money.
He told Mills and White that he would
like more for spending purposes and
that he intended 10 leave the city N
the morning before the banks were op"n
He had a check given him for the sale
of two horses at Augusta and asked
White and Mills to buy the check for
Sl75.O0
Mills and White. while they thought
the check was good, did not have quite
that amount with them. They could let
Harris have s125 on It, however, and in
the morning when the banks opened
they would send the balance 10 Harris
at Kansas City.
The transaction was made and the
three men stayed up quite late Monday
night in looking over the city and talk
ing over old times. Early Tuesday MORN
ing Harris arose and left White and Mills
While they were asleep.
The two latter persons awoke about
o'clock and noticing that Harris had
gone, supposed, Of course, that he left
early to catch his train. The two men
got breakfast ana about 10 O'Clock tried
to cash the check rendered by Harris.
II was found to be worthless.
White and Mills then instituted search
for Harris. They called at several of
the railroad passenger stations TO in
quire if anyone answering the descrip-
ton OF Harris had bought a ticket to
Kansas City No one had.
The two men then tried to discover II
Harris had returned TO Augusta. 1t
was while they were questioning the
ticket clerk at the Frisco that reporter
sor the Eagle met Mills and White They
are of the opinion that some mistake
has been made about the check and do
not think that Harris deliberately tried
TO beat them out of their money. In
case they found no trace of Harris last
night, the men decided that they would
go 10 Augusta today and see what they
can learn of Harris.

BLAZE IN EXCHANGE.
Fire Department. Called Out Yester-
day Afternoon.

The fire department was called out
about 5:l5 yesterday afternoon by small
blaze in the Exchange at 81 East Doug
las avenue. The room is lighted with
gas and in preparing the apparatus in
which the gas is stored, for use in the
evening it was accidentally ignited, caus-
ing d miniature explosion. One of the at
endants who was in range OF the flame,
had his hair slightly singed, but beyond
this little damage was done. This is the
second fire at this place within the last
few weeks In the former fire all of the
fixtures were ruined and it was neces-
sary to refurnish the place before it could
be used for business.

Mrs. G. c. Carey. S4s Emporia avenue
Wichita, kan:
My house was destroyed by fire last
night and Mr.. Carey is dead. Heartfelt
sympathy to you. B. b. RALPH.
This telegram was received yesterday
afternoon by Mrs. G. C. Carey. who lives
with her brother, Judge Harvey. at 4Ss
North Emporia avenue. With the ex-
ception of this brief bit of information
Mrs. Carey has been unable TO learn any
thing of the circumstances Of her nus
band death. The message arrived in the
city yesterday morning, but was not de-
livere until late yesterday afternoon,
owing 10 the fact that an incorrect street
number was given. The number given on
the telegram is 34s Emporia avenue,
while the number of the place in which
abe lives is 439 North Emporia, and the
messenger boys kept up a diligent search
all day yesterday but her residence was
found only when it was learned by acci-
dent that she is a sister Of Judge Har-
vey.
G. c. Carey was burned to death in the
sanitarium OF B. B. Ralph in Kansas
City. which was destroyed by fire Monday
night. He had been inmate Of that insti-
tuition about four weeks because of nerv-
Gus prostration. He was about so years
OF age and has been in this city many
tines. Sixteen years ago he was interest
ed in the Bank Of Augusta and afterward
engaged in the coal and grain business
at that place, but since then he has lived
at Great Bend and was at one time with
the Kansas Grain company at Hutchin-
son. A few months ago he decided to
go TO Kansas City and engage in business
but left Mrs. Carey with her parents at
Dghton, Kan. TO remain until she be-
came settled. She came to this city in
July and since then has been making her
home with her brother, Judge Harvey.
She received letter from her husband
q short time ago stating that he was i'll
and would take tire atment in sanitar-
fun. Since then she has heard nothing
until she received the sad word of his
death yesterday.
Soon after the fist telegram another
was received from an undertaking estab
lishment at Kansas City asking about
the disposition of the body. /. w. Gill

At the Crawford.

Mickey Finn was the attraction again
last night AT the Crawford. The house
was good and the out-of-town visitors
were out in full force.
Mr. WEIGH as Mickey Finn does good
work. but if he would leave out the
jagged appearance he assumes in his part,
he would be more pleasing.
Miss Francis as Mrs. Finn is very fun
ny Her impersonation of the negress
is also good.
The best voice in the company certainly
belongs to little Miss Clements, whose
singing of Lucy" in the second act made
a pronounced hit.
Mr.. De 1ains impersonation of the
maiden of uncertain years is quite the
best thing he does
The ensemble work is very good and
the chorus girls good-looking.
