LOST MONEY; USED REVOLVER
1lvo Strange Negroes Could Not Win
in Crap Game

Two negroes who wore white vests and
red neckties fioated into Wichita yester-
| day. They were strangers here, bat

! it comes to shooting craps. They know
better now. They never went Up against
a Wichita negroes crap game before. and
! before Jne little game was over they de-
cided that they could not roll the bones,
and so they tried TO shoot up the town
with revolvers.
For some tine there has been a quiet
little game of craps going on in the sec
ond story of the building at the north
east corner Of Douglas avenue and Water
street. These new negroes drifted into
this dive last night and thought they
would clean up all the money in the
crowd Before the game was over these
men decided that they We're hoodooed.
the Wichita boys won every cent the
strangers had. and then they got mad
and called the winners thieves. That
started the rumpus and one of II
strangers ran out and down town about
il O'Clock and by some means procured
a revolver. He went back to the dive
with the intention of shooting holes
through the whole crowd. He walked
into the room and pulled out the revolver
and began TO shoot.
here was not a negro in sight afte.
the first bullet was fired and the stranger
had undisputed sway in the room. After
emptying the revolver he ran down stairs
ana away. In the meantime his partner
had made his escape.
The police were called but no one was
able TO give a very good description OF
The man. There are five big holes in the
walls of the room. showing that the re-

FEVER Is SUPPOSED CAUSE

4 telegram was received in this city
yesterday saying that Bert Houser died
several weeks ago in Manila and his
body was now in San Francisco and
would reach this city Sunday or the day
following. Nothing further was learned
of his death. Not one of his friends in
this city knew that Bert Houser was
dead until the announcement was made
that his body had arrived in this couR-
try.
Bert Houser was young farmer boy.
He was an orphan and Mrs. Wilhemina
Baker is his guardian. lie lived in the
country northwest of this city. but was
known by many. persons.
He enlisted at the local station on April
3. 1871, ct the age of IS years and was

nent the regiment was sent TO the Phil

younS Houser died. Although no partic-
ulars regarding his death have reached
this city, ii is thought that his death
was due to fever.
