GATES WE'RE BROKEN.
Circus Wagon CoiIided With Rock
Island Flao Poles

All day yesterday, and it will probably
be part of today before the gates can
be repaired. the Rock Island fagman at
the Douglas avenue crossing has been
compelled to adopt the old-tiue method OF
warning pedestrians and drivers of vehi-
cles OF the approach Of trains. That is,
he has TO warn them in person With the
aid OF big red flag.
The occasion for the sudden change IN
the usual systematic method OF handling
trains at the Douglas avenue crossing
is on account of the fact that the flag
poles are out OF order. Early yesterday
morning a big circus wagon coIiioed with
one of the gates. While the break look
ed insignificant. an important part of the
mechanism which permits of the rails
ing and lowering OF the gates was broken.
When the aagman went TO work as usual
at Z o'clock yesterday morning he found
that the gates could be lowered all right
when he attempted 10 raise them, how
ever. he found that II couldat be done

SOMETHING ABOUT FAIR.
Mexican Central Official Expects
LARGE Crowd at ST. Louis.


]. T. Whalen, general western passen-
ger agent for the Mexican Central rail-
road. with headquarters at st. Louis.
was Wichita visitor yesterday. Mr..
Whalen was here on business and visits
Wichita frequently in his capacity of gem
eral agent for the Mexican Central.
In speaking of the Worlds Fair. to be
held at St. Louis next year. Mr. Whalen
said: Most of the preparations are
about completed That is the buildings
are all completed and the principal work
being done IS that of arranging the eX
hibits. In my opinion continued Mr..
Whalen. the fair will be the largest at
tended of any ever before given in this
country. The railroads are figuring on
handling more people than We're ever be
fore conveyed to any worlds fair grounds
in the Cnitod States. not barring the
first one at Chicago. l think the ST
Louis fair viii probably wind UP shows
of that kind. and for that reason the
railroads are of the opinion that every
one who can possibly get there will be in
attendance"
In regard to railroad rates Mr. Whalen
is of the opinion that there will be some
remarkably cheap tickets sold before
the fair is over. Another reason that
Mr. WhaIen gives for anticipating such
a large crowd at the fair. is on account Of
St. Louis being SO centrally located.
When asked about a report which was
current in Wichita and which is yet
heard occasionally and questions asked
about. that the Worlds Fair management
IS offering a prize for dollars of the 1891
issue. Mr.. NNhalen said: so far as
know. that story is absolutely without
foundation. You may hardly believe il.

WHAT 1T WAS. 7
S. J. Gary Had Peculiar Experience
With Vaiise.

When S. j. Gary. who is night train
dispatcher on the Missouri Pacific. left
his home at $50 South Emporia avenue
about 1890 o'clock last night to so to
work, ne stumbled over big valise, or
telescope that was on his front porch
which TO al, appearances contained some
thing heavy.
Without waiting to search for the
owner Mr. Gary hurried to the police
station and reported his find. Police
man Joe Mills was detailed on the case.
Accompanied by Mr.. Gary. he returned to
the house, reaching there about 1870
O'Clock.
With visions of an Internal machine,
or maybe baby as the contents OF the
big valise, the two men, Mills and Gary
made hurry up trip TO the latter's
home. The valise was carefully opened
by Mills while Mr. Gary and other
members of his family, who were thor
oughly awakened, stood at a respectful
distance. In the vaIise was found lit
tie of everything. That is, LITTLE of
everything in the way of clothing belong
ing TO a harvest hand wardrobe
Chief among the articles is a big straw
hat. a photograph. the likeness of
which is d great big man, was found.
1t caused much discussion among those
at the police station as to whether the
original was or was not known TO Night
Clerk Park Massey. There Is a deck
OF playing cards, several pair of over
alls. suspenders and other articles too
numerous to mention.
y search in the vicinity of the Gary
residence BY Policeman Mills failed TO
reveal the owner of the valise. 1t is
supposed that he had made a mistake
in trying to find some particular resi-
dence. He became frightened at Mr..
Gary's sudden appearance and dropping
his valise started to run. Mr.. Gary
thought he saw some one just after he
stumbled over the valise. but being taken
so by surprise at the unusual happen
ing, that he does not recall that part
of the affair very clearly.

He holds a position of what is known as

nually in his new line of work.

when 1 tell you, but that report was
spread over the entire United States
Thousands of people, who came into pos
session of an 1894 dollar, are of the be-
lief, so strong was the report made that
it is worth premium, that some of them
cannot yet be convinced that such is not
the case"
The story circulated was to the effect
that the Worlds Fair management is Of
fering railroad transportation and the
cost of weeks entertainment at the fair
to any one presenting a dollar made
in the year 1894. Only day before yester
day a man called at the Eagle office and
made inquiry concerning the worth of a
dollar of that date, which he came into
possession of a short time previous. He
said that friend of his had offered him
SO for the coin, but he had refused
to sell it.
THAT man just lost a clear 50 profit
said Mr.. Whalen, when the story was
related to him. THE person who offered
him that fabulous sum, considering the
actual worth of the dollar, was certainly
joking. or he is badly mistaken in the
value of United States dollar

fine RESIDENCE
VALUED AT $4,000
Black Property to Be offered
at Public Sale.
SAID TO COST $4,000
This Is the Result of Mr.. New
ms Law Suit.

The fine residenceat the corner of Doug
las avenue and Hydraulic. known as the
Black property, is to be sold and it will
probably be transferred to strangers
The ground has a frontage of three hun
dred feet on Douglas avenue and is one
hundred and ninety feet deep. The large
center OF the grounds and 1t is claimed
that the property originally cost Mr..
Black about twenty-five thousand dollars.
After the death of Grace Johnson New
ms the other heirs to the Black estate
claimed that Mrs Neyins having died
without heirs the property all belonged
to them. The other heirs are Kirk John
son, John Johnson and their sister, Mrs.
Clara c. Marsh. Mason Nevins claimed
that he was the legal heir of his wife's
interest in the property and he establish
ed his claim in the district court. When
he did that Judge Dale appointed w +.
Tucker. o. z. Smith and p. V. Healey
to appraise the property so that it could
be sold and the proceeds divided among
the heirs They made their returns yes
terday and placed the value at $4,000.
The law concerning such cases provides
that the property must sell for not less
than two-thirds of the appraised value
and it frequently happens that the ap
praisers put the value so high that 1t can
not be sold for the two-thirds. People
well posted in real estate values say that
the appraisers in this case got the right
value and there is no doubt that it will
be sold for more than two-thirds of the
sum named by the commissioners.
Sheriff Henry Schadd represents the in
terests of Kirk and John Johnson and
Mrs. Marsh as guardian. Mr.. Nevins is
looking after his own interest. The sale
of this fine property will be watched with
a good deal of interest by a number of
people in the city.
The mother of the Johnson children who
heired this property was the only child
of Robert Black. He built the fine house
at the time for his daughter but he kept
the title in his own name. She died be-
fore her father and for several years
after Mr.. Black lived on the property but
before his death moved to the Manhattan
hotel.
