Married to Escape Reformatory.

Topeka, Kan, Feb. MARY r. Jones.
young negro girl, escaped being sent
to the industrial school by marrying one
Louis Wisdom a very dark and woody
headed colored boy. While the girl is Is
and the boy 20 years of age, there did
not seem to be so much disparity, and in
fact the girl appeared older than the
boy. The girl was an orphan and her rel
at!ves had preferred charges of incorrigi-
bility against her. These had been heard
by Probate Judge Pagan and the girl
sentenced to the industrial school for girls
at Beloit. She took the decree philosoph-
ically, and as a matter of course. Judge
Pagan was therefore somewhat aston
ished when an old darkey came to him
yesterday, leading the hand of boy, and
said he wanted a marriage license.
For whom" asked Judge Pagan.
For de boy yander.' replied the old
negro. HE wants fer to marry dat Jones
gal you has heah.'
Without any more ceremony the license
was drawn up and the girl brought into
court. The meeting between the sweet
hearts was in nowise affecting. He sat
on one side of the room and she on the
other, while the old man sat between
them When they had been married the
old darkey turned and said: Now, youse
fool cEiiiUn go on; youse dun marr'd,"
and with that he paid the fee.

Liberal, Kan, Feb. Last week q
stranger went to Beaver and filed on
quarter section of land. which includes
the eBaver graveyard. After making the
filing he went to the eBaver State bank
and deposited draft under the name of
S. E. Glover. and was supposed to be
written by the First National bank at An
thony, Kan, under the date of January
IS. for the sum of about $40 The stran-
ger told the banker that he was we'll
known in Caldwell. A little later the
stranger concluded to come to Liberal.
He hired three Vamsters and paid each
one S. in advance. He then went to the
bank and explained to the cashier that he
wanted $500; that he was going to buy a
lot of lumber. hardware and furniture,
and was going to Liberal to make the
purchases The banker did not hesitate
in giving him the amount OF cash wanted
In due time the stranger, with the men
and freight wagons, arrived in the city.
The stranger called on Bolin & Brown and
other business men, but bought nothing.
telling them that he would call the fol-
lowing morning and get what he wanted.
Later he went to J. P. Morris place of
business and engaged rooms for himself
and the freighters The next morning
the freighters got ready for the return
trip and then waited for the stranger to
load the wagons. Finding that he did not
appear at the appointed time they went to
search for him. He was not found, and IS
lost yet. The freighters returned home
with empty wagons. That a man should
disappear so suddenly in the city was
rather suspicious to our people, and upon
request Sheriff Wood telegraphed to Cald-
well if one S. f. Glover had returned;
that he had suddenly disappeared from
here. A reply was Immediately received
that S. E Grover, a former citizen. had
not left Caldwell lately and was at that
time in that city.

THIS SOCIETY MAN IS NOW SORRY
DURANT REFUSED WARRANT.
Called for Double Witness Before He
Would Issue One.

Some of the residents of Watervlile
: ra skiing to-day why Pros-sNting AT
+ornav Durant would not issue war
rant for the arrest Of an insulting anu
rowdv motorman who worked a COUPE
of trips from Waterbury to Watervllle
last night. John Cookson, fesldenl
Of WatervilIe made complaint against
this motorman. whose number Dy the
way is $50. but the prosecuting attor-
ney refused to issue the warrant unless
other witnesses would come In and tell
the same story, so Cookson said after
he left the prosecutors office. COOK
son said that Officer Edward McEVoy
could testify to everything that was
done by the motorman in question, put
still the prosecutor refused to issue the
| warrant Several telephone messages
came from Waterville to-day saying
that it is a shame to protect the law
| breakers who are at present manipu-
lating the trolley cars and arrest c1t1-
zens for the most trivial offense
against the trolley company. They
| claim that it requires only one witness
to get out warrant for the arrest OF
any person who commits an Offense
| against the trolley company and they
would like to know why this discrim-
ination is made. The cause of the
whole trouble was this:
| The car which was run by Motor
man $50 when it first reached the
"Ville'' was stopped by the motorman
and a crowd who were attending to
their own business was insulted by this
rowdy. On the next trip this same
lmotorman stopped his car in front Of
Carney's drug store and taking his
handle from its place, he leaped down
4 from the platform and dared the crowd
to make move. He singled out one
young fellow in the crowd and calling
him vile name said he had him mark
/ ed. Officer McEyoy ordered him on
to his car and it proceeded to it's des-
/ tination. Officer McEvoy then went to
the telephone and said that number
33O should be taken from the car be-
cause II he was on there the next trip
there would be trouble The crowd. said
the officer, were orderly until this motor
man began his abuse and IL he was al
IOWed TO come UP on another trip the
officer said he wanted fifty policemen
to protect him. The crowd he said was
looking for the motorman and there
would certainly be trouble. Evidently
the officers story had some weight for
when the car hove. in sight the next
Ilne new man was at the helm. 1t
IS such things as these that anger the
people and cause riots and the trolley
company should be forced to protect
the people even il state law and state
prosecutors have to be invoked. The
young fellow who was singled out ~
the motorman and was called vile
name expected satisfaction from the
4 courts Of this city and to that end the
Doy,s rather, John Cookson, made the
complaint but the warrant was not
/ forthcoming. = 10
