ISAAC DEAN Is RUSTLING.
L. M. MccrockIin Says He Is Making
Bio Money.

IKE Dean is the greatest rustling real
estate man that / have ever seen. The
one week that | was in the City of
Mexico he sold one tract of land that
contained over FIVE thousand acres beside
other tracts and his commissions for that
week were away up in the thousands. "
That is what l. NJ. McCrocklin OF
Derby said yesterday. Mack, as the grain
and stock me call him. has sold out his
grain elevator down at Derby. and for
a rest and observation he took a trip
down into old Mexico When he was in
Mexico City he saw sign of the Dean
Real Estate company and when he went
into the Office he found the former Wich-
tia man. Isaac Dean.
Mr.. McCrocklin says that Mr.. Dean has
a big business and is making more money
than any other man he saw in the City
Of Mexico. He says he has written TO
the stockmen in this state 10 whom he
was indebted when he took his sudden
departure to contain themselves for a
time and they VIII all get their money.
He says some Of them have already
been paid in part.
Isaac Dean always was a good rustler
and he seems to be keeping 1t up in his
adopted country. Many Of his former
friends here will be glad to hear Of his
prosperity. There might have been ex-
agerated reports of the amount Of money
that Mr. Dean owed here and in Kansas

change his residence from Wichita TO tho

grow less by repetition but Mr.. Nc

creditors will get their money in full

PR0FILES WERE DRAWN

from Attorney for Road.
PR0FILES WERE DRAWN

A-C. Dickson received a letter yesterday
from Francis c. Downey, prominent at
torney of Kansas City, which indicates
that Wichita has another prospective rail-
road in view. The letter asked for infor-
nation regarding Wichita and the sur
rounding country and gave as a reason
that profIes had been drawn and plans
completed for a railroad running from the
northeast through Wichita into the coal
fields of Indian Territory and on to the
gulf. The proposition is new one both
to Mr. Dixon and other men of the city
who are interested in railroads bu. it
Seems that without the knowledge or con-
sent of Wichita a company has been
planning to build line from this city TO
the coal fields, the very thing the Cham
Der OF Commerce and the Commercial
club have been eXerting themselves for
for months MT. Downey states that the
line is to branch from one of the roads
running between Kansas City and st.
Louis. to enter the state south of Kansas
City. come on a line TO Wichita, then run
southeast into the Indian Territory and
south to Galveston. He states that the
enterprise is backed by British capital
and that the final arrangements are being
completed for beginning work on the road.
He asks for information regarding the
,,ducts of the country surrounding
Wichita. the products of the factories and
rllls of the city, an estimate of the an
rfal tonnage Of the freight shipped out
of the city and that received, and the
present population of the city. Mr.. Dixon
will attempt to answer the questions ask
ed and will ask for a little information
himself.
\ large number of railroad men were
seen yesterday and none could be found
who had heard anything of the proposed
road However, they all agreed that 1t

BLIND MAN THE
VICTIM OF THIEF
Inscriptions Burglar Enters
Arthur Moore'S Room
VALUABLE THINGS TAKEN
With Nothing but Bundle Loser
Leaves City,
THINGS TAKEN

Ray Moore, a blind man, whose bent
figure and sightless eyes are familiar to
many Wioh.tans, returned to his home
here yesterday. from a trip to Oklahoma.
only to ind that some one had burglar
lied his rooms on the West Side and
taken everything OF any value the man
Possessed in the world.
Last evening he went south over the
Rock Island TO Kingfsher where he in
tends to make his home. HIS tale was in
deed a pitiful one as he stood on the pas
senger station with all his earthly pos
sessions tied in small bundle, except
ing the clothes he wore on his back.
Saving up what little money he could
beg on the streets, at times a penny,
nickel, dime or maybe some generous
person would give him as much quar-
ter, the blind man laid away during the
past six months enough money TO buy
himself clothes for the winter. When he
returned home yesterday and entered his
room, everything was turned upside
down. His trunk had been broken into
and everything of value taken. Some
small pieces of jewelry which We're of no
particular value to any enc, but priced
BY Moore on account OF having been
given to him, were also missing The
blind mans total loss foots up between
SIS and sleo.
While there is no clue 10 the thief the
work was apparently done by some one
who was aware that the owner was
out OF the city. The manner in which
articles were taken from the trunk and
piled about the room, showed that the
work was done In a deliberate manner.
The thief entered the room by breaking
a lock on the door. Moore lived in one
of many rooms in the flats just west
of the Douglas avenue bridge. He had
been living there forabout four weeks.
and had been absent in Oklahoma about
three days.
Moore first came to Wichita many years
ago Since then he has lived here of
and on for weeks at a time. He was OF
medium height and while totally blind
became so expert with the use of cane
that he could make his way about the
streets without assistance. He was very
thin, smooth shaven and usually wore a
soft black hat. So far as is known he
has no relatives in this city.
