had signed an agreement to pay for
| the damage done at Hebbs grocery,
where they demolished the oil house
and spilled 40 gallons of oil and Is
gallons of gasoline, of the value of
$40. 1t is supposed that the same
gang, which is composed of boys be-
| tween the age of IL and Is years, are

ALONE AND UNCONSCIOUS.
Aged Widow Found in Bed and Al
most Dead.

Neighbors of Mrs. Peabody, an aged
widow who lives alone at 316 Van
Buren, street, became alarmed about
her last evening, having seen nothing
of her for several days. AS she was in
poor health it was feared that she had
died alone in the house. The doors
were locked, and the neighbors finally
called the police. Officers went to the
house and kicked in the door. They
found Mrs. Peabody in bed, and at first
thought that she was dead, but on dis
covering that she was still alive, al
though unconscious, called DR.. Van
Horn. DR.. Mulvane was also called.

her recovery doubtful.

WASHBURN DIDN'T GO.
Manhattan Cancelled Football Game
Today.

Washburn's football team, it seems,
is not the only one which IS badly
crippled. The Washburn management
received a wire this morning from
Manhattan cancelling the game which
was to have been played at Manhat-
State Agricultural college. The K. S.
A. c. management said that owing to
the fact that several of their indispen-
sable players were unable to play be-
cause of injuries, the team felt that IT
would have to cancel the game.
OF course it is not supposed to be a
sportsmanlike thing to do to cancel a
game because you are afraid of getting
beat but under the circumstances,
Washburn will proba bly, forgive the in
jury.
The Washburn team was in bad
shape to go into a hard battle, and the
to get the team in good shape again.

BAKERS CALLED DOWN,
They Have Been Reducing Size of
Their LoaveS.

Food Inspector Farnsworth is hav-
ing trouble with some of the bakers
bread. The law requires that the
or two pounds, of 16 ounces to the
bread must be in loaves of either one
of two pounds, or 16 ounces to the
pound. A few weeks ago, when flour
was cheap, the bakeries increased the
number of loaves they would give to
the grocers for specified price. Now
that flour is higher again, some of
the bakers have been cutting down
the weight of the loaves. Food In
spector Farnsworth notified them to
stop, and all but one consented to do
so. This one firm will be yanked up
in police court Monday unless its
loaVes come up to the required weight

IN SUPREME COURT.
Robert Burton Must Serve Twenty
Year Sentence.

After three appeals to the supreme
court, Robert Hawthorne Burton. who
was convicted of murder in Marion
county, will finally have to serve his
sentence. The supreme court today dis
missed his last appeal.
Burton and another man had a fight
in Marion over a girl and Burton shot
his opponent. He was first convicted
of murder in the first degree. but the
supreme court gave him a new trial,
and on the second trial he was convict
ed of murder in the second degree. He
versal, but the third verdict was the
same as the second and he was sem
fenced to twenty years in the peniten-
tiary. He appealed again, but today
that appeal is dismissed and he will
have to serve his sentence.
Another murder case affirmed today
is that of F. T. Appleton, who was con-
victed of murder in the first degree in
Rush county. He was merchant and
ne got into row with the city mar
shall over a dog. The marshal started
into his store to arrest Appleton, and
the latter shot him.
James Dwyer will have to pay the
S. fine which Police Judge Hamilton
inflicted on him for keeping hogs in
the city limits. Dwyer has fought the
fine from the police court through all
the lower courts to the supreme court.
He claimed the anti-hog ordinance was
invalid, and that his property was not
legally taken into the city, but the SUI
preme court says he guessed wrong.
J. G. SIonecker is indicated. He was
referee in the suit of Josiah Jordan
against the Western Union Telegraph
company, and when he filed his report
in the district court or Shawnee county
he was allowed a fee of something like
$1,000. When the supreme court heard
the case on an appeal it scaled Sion
ecker's fee down to $1,000. This hurt
Slonecker's feelings. He said he did
apparently didn't like to have the SUI
preme court give out the impression
that he was such a cheap man. A law
yer who would charge only $1,000 for
acting as referee in a case like that he
thought wouldn't be much of a law
yer. He did not appear in the argu-
ment of the original appeal, so he got

back and admits that the district court
was right about Judge Slonecker's fee
after all.
Cleo Burnett will get another
chance to be a lawyer in Sumner
county. Burnett was the defendant
in disbarment proceedings which stir
red up considerable trouble down at
wellington, and he failed to put in an
Therefore the district
court disbarred him because of de-
fault. The supreme court says that

should have heard evidence.

DE Gentlcmens is Ready.

While he was in Raleigh Polk
Miller was the guest of Col. f. A.
Olds. and tho following story that is
very good has been sent by Colonel
Olds to his paper:
Polk Miller tells a good story at
his own expense and Governor Ay-
cock and Rev. DR.. Vann, of the Bap-
fist Female University, vouch for its
accuracy. Polk was here a couple of
Gays TINS week and on the second
evening he gave a free performance
at the Baptist Female University.
DR.. Vann entertained him and the
Governor at supper and while that
meal was in progress a colored girl
employed at the college entered the
room to tell that the four colored
men composing Polk Miller's famous
quartette had arrived. This is the
way she broke the news. She said to
DR.. Vann: Tell Polk Miller de gen
tlemenS have come" All three had
a tremendous laugh. Polk says he
will tell this on the platform as soon
as he gets out of North Carolina"
