NEARLY MADE HIM MAD.
Police Take a Farmer on Train and
Lock Him Up.

Ollie H. Cashow, a farmer. has 4 case
against the city of Topeka if he cares
to push it. Cashow was taken off .
Santa Fe train last night. and kept in
jail all night for nothing at all
The excuse for removing Cashow
from the train where he was a passen-
ger, arresting him for attempted rob
berry from the person and throwing him
in jail, was about the thinnest which
ever came before the police depart
ment- Cashow, who shows his calling
in tanned face and calloused hands, sat
in a chair car. A woman sat in front
of him, and while she was asleep her
coat fell down between the chairs and
under Cashow's feet. The young farm
er was asleep at the time, and did not
wake up until he was grabbed by the
two policemen, Henderson and Mild
felt, who were called upon by the nerv-
Gus woman She awoke when the train
pulled into Topeka, and missing her
cape, began to look for IL She found
it back of her seat, and tangled up
with the farmers number tens. Her
pOcketbOOk was in tie coat, and in
stead of waiting to see ii it had been
removed, she started a disturbance.
The tiller of the soil slept through it
all Policemen were called. and they
seized the young man and hustled him
to the station, even after they had as
certained that the purse had not been
removed from the woman's pocket.
With CashaW the policemen brought
his trunk, a cheap affair. tied round

policemen may have taken the name of
the woman who caused all the trouble,
but she did not stop off to make any
complaint against Cashow. The young
man was released this morning, after
spending Il hard night IN Jail, and haul
ed back 70 the Santa Fe depot with his
trunk He seemed to feel rather blue
about the Odium connected with arrest
and not very friendly toward the po-
lice Gosh dern en- he remarked as
he carried his little two busheI trunk
into the baggage room at the depot, If
they had kept me in that place a little
longer fer nothin', it would a made me
mighty mad"

HE STOOD ION HIS RIGHTS"
Mr.. Fisher Refused to Serve on Jury,
But Has ReIented.

C. w. Fisher, formerly register of
the United States land office, is serv-
ing on the jury in the district court,
and thereby hangs a tale.
One day a couple of years ago
while Fisher was register, he was
drawn to serve on a jury in the dis
trict court. The court was slSOrt on
jurors, and Fisher didn't come. Judge
Hazen sent for him. Fisher sent back
word that he didn't care about serv-
ing on a jury and that he would not
come. Judge Hazen was mad. He
said something about seeing whether
man would respond to the summons
of the court, and he ordered an at
tachment issued and Fisher brought
in forthwith. There were smiles in
the court room as to what oratory
Fisher would receive when he came.
But he didn't come. He informed the
officer that he was a, United States
officer and that he was exempt from
jury service, and he declined to serve
or to go to the court room This ex-
PLANTATION was made to Judge Hazen,
and he acknowledged that Fisher was
standing on his rights. But Fisher is
no longer in the government, and he
is serving on the jury.

Word has come from Philadelphia
that the Topeka young man. o. A.
Kerns, who is there training for the
prize ring is under the guidance Of
Richard King, sporting editor OF the
Philadelphia Record.
kerns is being handled and trained
by a big negro prize fighter named Joe
Butter who is supposed to have whip
ped Peter Jackson Kerns' admfring
friends say that he knocked Butler
out in a bout and that Butler did nor
come to" for three days and that
therefore kerns is a promising candf-
date for the prize ring. Kerns should
read George AIDES fable about the
would-be prize fighter who was knock

moral to the Nble is Gin the x-a-ia5

CHURCH swINDLER CAUGHT.
Had Collected $4,000 in IL Years by
His System.

New York, May 24.-WHn the arrest
OF William Davidson, alias Fred Hail."
alias Fred Halford, "alias Fred Hill.
agents of the charity organization
claim to have run to earth one of the
eleverest church swindlers in the coun-
try. Officers of the society assert that
reports in their hands charge a man
answering his description with having
collected nearly $4,000 during the last
fourteen years from church members
in various cities. He has even been
traced to Australia
It is alleged that Davidson would
appear at a Presbyterian or Baptist
church, attend services regularly for
a time and then develop a. consumptive
cough. Soon he would appeal to mem
bers of the congregation for aid in
seeking another climate and generally
met with generous aid. Upon being
arrested recently in Brooklyn he estab-
Mshed a complete alibi but agents of
the society Immediately set to work on
other clues and have now caused his
arrest a second time.

MACADA1I NEEDS REPAIR.
West Seventeenth Road Is Being Al

The county commissioners are in
something of a quandary about what
to do with the stretch of macadam
road on Seventeenth street west of
Washburn college.
The road is as rolling and billowy
as a rough sea and it is badly in need
of repairing. The road was made by
government expert road builders
who didn't know how to build ma
cadam road sin Shawnee county. No
contract was made with the county
for the making of the road and the
commissioners never accepted the
work, but now it needs repair. The
commissioners will probably go ahead
and repair the road and let red tape
and technicalities about acceptance

Automobiles Have Hard Time in

New York. May 24.-Repeated at
tacks on automobilists by East side
hoodlums, which eliminated Sunday in
the probable fatal wOunding of Mrs
William G. Gottschall who was struck
on the head by a large stone, have
brought out a plan by the police to
protect motorists on their way to var
ious ferries. So vicious have these at
tacks become that scarcely an auto
car has reached some Of the ferries
recently without bearing marks Of its
passage.
Adequate measures are extremely
hard to frame but the police depart
ment has arranged a scheme whereby,
beginning next Sunday, certain broad
streets leading to every East side ferry
will be under special patrol and the
chaffeurs who may wish TO free them
selves of showers of tin cans, stones,
etc. will be invited to use these
roufeS.
