Reno County Has an Insane
Problem Hard to Settle.
What Can Be Done With August
Meill, a Prussian 2
INTERNATIONAL CASE.
Immigration Agent Writes to
the Authorities.
Will Take Loads of Red Tape
TO DepOrt Prisoner.
INTERNATIONAL CASE.

Hutchinson, Kan. June 13.-One of
the strangest cases which the authori-
ties of Reno county or of any county
in Kansas have ever had to handle is
that of August MeilI, an alien, who is
confined in the county jail here for in
sanity. He is not a citizen of this
country and therefore cannot be taken
care of at the expense of the state.
It is a strange mixture of affairs.
Neil is a native of Prussia and has
been in America about ten months, as
nearly as can be learned. He came
20 Kansas and started in the peddling
business. He showed symptoms of in
sanity from the first, as nearly as can
be learned. He finally grew so bad
that he left a horse and buggy at a
farm house in Salt Creek township,
this county. and rode his other horse
away to Inman, Mcpherson county.
He was caught there and brought
back to Reno county for trial He
was found insane here and application
was made to take him to a state asy-
lum. This was refused because he
was not a citizen of the state.
County Attorney J. L. Brown took
the matter up with the department of
commerce and labor through the Of
1ee OF Chief Inspector J. W. Burst of
the port of Chicago. Mr.. Brown has
received the following letter from the
immigration office:
Dear Sir: Replying to your COM
munication of the 9Th inst, in re in
sane alien, August Meill
Before I can ask the bureau of
Washington for an order for the de-
portation of this alien, it will be
necessary that I first secure vertical
ton of his port record, and in order
that I may do SO, will ask you to
kindly give me. the following informa-
ton:
ALIENS full name, age, nationality.
race, date he entered the United
States, port at which he entered the
United States, name of ship bringing
him to. the United States, port from
which he sailed to come to the United
States.
After have succeeded in verifying
this aliens port record, it will be
necessary that you send me a certifi-
cate under oath from some regularly
licensed and practicing physician,
sta ting that he has examined this man
and finds him suffering from insanity,
and from all the circumstances of the
case it is his opinion that the aliens
present mental condition is due to
conditions which existed prior to his
coming to the United States. If this
mans insanity arises from causes ex-
listing after his coming to this coun-
try, it Will be almost impossible to Sc
cure his deportation. Respectfully,

TO AID DEPORTED MEN.
District Board and Miners at Pitts
burg. Kan, to Care for Them.

Pittsburg, June 13.-Since the depor-
tation of miners began from the Color
ado strike district, district board No.
IA, with headquarters here, is anticipat-
ing the arrival of many of them. The
Colorado miners will be kindly receiv-
ed by the miners and district board
here. They will be taken care of until
work can be obtained for them. The
Western Federation of Miners and Uni
ted Mine Workers have always been
friendly. A Western Federation card,
when paid up from the strike district
of Colorado. is interchaged with a T.

cepted in good standing.
Three hundred Colorado miners have
been here for a month and are working
at various places in this district
Quartz miners pass through to Joplin
and Galena. The fight of the United
Mine Workers has been for better con-
ditions and they think the same condi-
tons exist in Colorado, and sympathize
with the strikers. A prominent official
of the district board said:
IF the Citizens Alliance here should
dictate to US the same conditions as
exist in Colorado would exist here in
short time. We need such men as the
depOrted Colorado miners to wake fell

The Saints tied up the score in the
third. An error by Smith sent Thomp-
son to first. Innings hit brought him
in. Cole singled and Freil doubled,
both coming in on Perrines wild
throw home to catch the little Topeka
centerflelder. In the sixth Cole walk
ed. FreiI sacrificed him to second.
Olson's long fly to deep center was
caught, but Cole beat the throw-in.
The eighth was the slaughter. Linn

error. Freil was hit and the bases
were full. A wild pitch let in Lining.
again full. Sisler slammed out a
fielder's choice and the miserable
work of the Midgets allowed both
Friel and Olson to come home.
Schrant, Randolph were both passed
but another wild pitch let in the
Saints third baseman.
Topeka too advantage of its every
chance and was keen to watch every
mishap of the visitors They were up
and coming every minute. The
frances which have characterized
some of the games earlier in the week
were lacking. A quality of bali was
put UP which should have resulted in
victory, even though they did not hit.
Could the Saints fessle their optics
upon the slants which are dished up
to them they could play baseball with
any bunch in the league. 1t is too
bad that a firing" process must be
instituted, for Topeka certainly can

The Saints Defeat Fort Scott
Giants on Sunday.
HOwIe's Pitching One of the
Features of Game.
ALLOWED THREE HITS.
Armstrong; Error Helped the
Giants to Lose.
Thompson, Saints New Fielder,
Got Two Hits.

Fort Scott, Kas., June 13.-One
thousand people saw the Topeka
Saints defeat the new Giants here
Sunday afternoon by score of 6 to A.
HOWE, for the visitors, proved puz-
zIe on the slab. Only three safe hits
were made off his slants, and two of
these were credited to Reddie Downs.
Armstrong; overthrow and Groom's
wildness aided materially in the de-
feat.
Five errors were charged up
against the Saints. but they were only
costly in the third inning, at which
time three runs came across the
plate. None of these were earned.
Out of the six which the visitors
made, but two were deserved. The
hitting of the Saints was a feature of
the game. Thompson, the new left
fielder, got two.
A double play in the second inning
with the bases full, from Downs to
Frederick to Jones, was the feature
of the contest. The work of the
Giants was spasm odic, and the Saints
had entirely the best of the game
after the fourth inning.
A matter of interest to the rooters
was the inability of Armstrong to hit
Armstrong did the cage work for the
Saints up to ten days ago, but he was
evidently unable to either put him
self or his teammates next to what

The Midgets got but six hits of this

with enough space between them to
prevent much damage. He also struck

less game, with one error by Olson,
ana that not costing anything in the
long run. His support was about as
good as has been offered in Topeka this
year, Cole and Frel getting the lions
share of the praise. The second base
man pulled two liners out of the at
mosphere which were in reality hits
and for which he should have been ar

The trouble with the Midgets was
that they made errors and costly ones
Coupled with Speers' pitching, the
game always looked easy for the
Saints after the third inning. Six err
rors We're chalked up against the Wis
itors and they caused the most of the
trouble. Speers would kindly pass a
man or two on first and then his
teammates would contribute an error
and another Saint would waltz home.
But up to the eighth inning the con-
test was pretty with the score 4 to
in favor of Topeka The Midgets got
theirs early, three in the second. They
earned every one. Hetling clouted
fair. Zoeller brought him home with
a double. Smith singled him in, and

out free transportation like a candidate
for senator. Six passes did he issue
and four of these in eighth inning. By
some strange freak OF fortune he only
hit one man, planting an easy one in
Freils Stats Four of the runs were di-
rectIy attributable to his wildness. He
struck out three men, one of them Big
John Schrant, when the bases were full.
That would probably tickle a Merriwell
about as much as anything under the
sun. This Midget slant artist is only
a kid yet, but some day when he gets
his balance wheels running right, the
willow swingers had better watch out
for him.

TOPEKA SMASHED 1T.
After Losing Twelve Straight Games
the Saints Took the Thirteenth.

All last week the Saints. kept daub-
ing the baseball taste of the Topeka
fans a darker and deeper brown, by
losing five consecutive awful games,
and then on Saturday they dipped the
sponge into the winning bucket and
wiped it all out, by defeating Spring
field before a crowd of 600 people, by
a score of to 8. True the Missourians
did jam together a raft of errors, six in
all, but nevertheless the rooters were
given an entertainment which they
shall not soon forget. 1t was a mighty
good thing, too-for both bletchers and
grandstand were getting tired-oh, so
tired of always getting licked.
