THE MISSING $4,000.
Son OF Postmaster Griffith OF Great
Bend COnfesses to Theft.

Kansas City. April 12-Edward Grit
fifth, son of the postmaster at Great
Bend, Kan, has been arrested at Ne
vada, No, charged with stealing the
$4,000 registered mail package which
disappeared between the Kansas City
postoffice and the postoffice at Great
Bend, Kan. a few weeks ago. The ar
rest was made at the instance OF In
spector L. l.. Mckee of Kansas City
and Inspector J. L. Stice of Galena,
Gals having been assigned to the case
by Chief Inspector John R. Harrison
of Kansas City. The history of the
case is this:
February the Traders bank Of
Kansas City sent by registered mail
a package of $1,000 in currency to the
J. V. Brinknan Banking company CT
Great Bend The money never reacn-
ed its destination. as it was stolen in
the postoffice at Great Bend
After being arrested Griffith made
full confession. He said that he was
not an employe of his fathers Office,
but on the day the package reached
the Great Bend Office he walked in the
rear door of the pOstOfice and saw the
package lying there He slipped it in
to his overcOat and walked away un-
noticed by any one in the Office. Young
Griffith at once skipped and since that
time his movements have been a game
of hide and seek between himself
and the poStoffice inspectors and Pink
erton detectives.
Suspicion was first attracted to Crit
nth, who is a young man of 26, by the
fact that he was known to be in and
out of the postOffice at Great Bend
every day and because his asSocia tons
were found to be bad Shortly after
the theft of the package he disappear
ed and at the same time woman he
had been intimate with left town Sc
cret service men traced her to Nevada,
Mo, where she engaged quarters and
appeared to be well supplied with mon
ey. Griffith gave her over half of the
sum he stole to keep for him. The
greater part Of this sum was recover
ed.
Griffith for a time was lost to the
sieuths hunting him, but it was Ger
tain that eventually he would seek to
communicate with or visit the woman
at Nevada And so he did, and was
arrested upon his arrival. He came
to Nevada to secure fresh supply of
NJ Oney, having run through the
he was lodging the inspectors and
secret service men Griffith was in
three states and travelled under three
aliases: Ed" Graham, Ed Griffith
and Ed Arnold The officials had
been ready to arrest him for some
time, having completed the chain of
evidence against him. but about the
time they wanted to place him in Gus
tody he disappeared, and no trace Of
his whereabouts was secured until he
showed up in Nevada.
Griffith is a young man of good
family. His father is highly re-
spected citizen of Great Bend and has
held other positions of trust besides
that of postmaster. He was county
treasurer two years. sister OF the
young man now in Jail died last week
and an effort was made to locate him
in order to have him present at the
funeral, but he could not be found.
The family had no hint that the son
was under suspicion.

Negroes XIII Brother of a Congress-
man.

Hampstead. Tex. April 12.-War-
rants have been issued for two ne
groes, charging them with the muir
der of Tucker Pinckney, brother of
Congressman John NJ. Pinckney, at a
church eight miles from here. 1t is
expected there will be a number of
other arrests. There is much excite
ment over the entire county.
Pinckney and George Groce rode up
to the church late in the afternoon.
There had previously been trouble
between Groce and some of the ne
groes who were at the church at the
time, and as Pinckney entered the
church to get a drink of water shoot
ing was opened by the negroes in the
church. Seven shots were fired in
the building and all of them took eff
feet in the body of Pinckney. who
fell dead just outside the doors. Groce
shot two of the negroes who were
outside, but neither of them is fatally
wounded. The, remainder Of the
blacks scattered and they are keeping
close to their homes.
Congressman Pinckney and his sis
ter are to arrive here Wednesday and
the funeral Of the dead man will be
held at that time. If there is to be
any further trouble it is not likely to
happen until after the funeral.

FENCE IS EXTENDED.
Santa Fe Getting Ready for a Strike
Here.

The decision of the executive COM
mittee of the International Association
of Machinists, which is now in session
at the headquarters of the union in
Washington, D. c., regarding the trou-
bic between that organization and the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway
company, has not yet been received
here and the men at the local shops
are still at work. Nothing signifies
that there is any prospect of there be-
ing a strike on the lines of the Santa
of the order say, however, that the ex-
ecutive committees decision is expect
ed to be received here the last of this
week and that the local members viii
abide by this decision.
Onjectures regarding the prOba-
BILE nature of the decision, when it
does arrive, are many and varied
Some think that a strike order will be
issued and others are of the opinion
that the decision will favor a peaceable
settlement with the company. 1t is the
general opinion, though, that a strike
is inevitable. This opinion prevails
throughout the shops and even among
the officials of the road.
The Santa F'e, however, is not wor-
rying itself about the decision OF the
executive committee in washington. IL
the officers of the union decide to re-
construct their relations with the San
ia Fe without any trouble their dects-
ion viii be welcomed But If Ii favors
a strike the company viii be ready Tor
it. At this point the big high board
fence which surrounds the most i'm
portapt departments of the shops has
been extended within the last few days
to take in the roundhouse and the 9TH
er shops which were not formerly pro-
tected. The officials say that this ac-
ton has no connection with the pros
pective trouble but in case of a lock-
out this fence would prove to be of
great service to the road. 1t is under
stood that fences are also being erect
q q DOtntS
at the points where fences have al
ready been built extra guards have
been engaged to watch the gates. 1t
is probably the plan of the company.
in case a. strike should occur. to fill the
shops with nonunion men and then
arrange for them to do their work
without leaving the shops either night
or day.
