ONE MEMBER is ARRESTED

Night Waterman Page Of the Frisco
terminals is of the belief that he has just
unearthed a gang of thieves who for the
past several months have been stealing
coal in wholesale quantities from that
companys cars on the sidetracks north
of Douglas avenue. A boy named Woods
was arrested by Page yesterday and is
being held at the police station on the
charge of participating in the coal thefts-
Page believes that an organized gang of
thieves have ueen stealing the coal in
wholesale quantities on orders from q
man who would buy the fuel from the
gang and then dispose of it by the ton
or half ton.
Yesterday morning Waterman Page saw
three boys throwing coal from a car just
above Second street He was standing
on the Douglas avenue crossing. In a
roundabout way and without letting them
see him until he was nearly upon them
Page almost succeeded in capturing the
entire gang. Ali ran when they saw the
Waterman and two got away. The other
the Woods boy, was arrested Thus far
it has been impossible for the police to
get a confession from the Woods boy
concerning the theft of the coal which is
said to have been going on for several
months. The names of others are known.
however, and it is only question OF time
when more arrests will follow.
Waterman Page says he also knows the
name of man who has been receiving
the stolen coal. The Frisco proposes TO
prosecute the thieves TO the full extent
of the law, whenever the remainder of
the arrests are made. 1t is estimated that
as many as ten or twenty tons have been
stolen recently. In the vicinity of the
place where the boys were surprised while
taking the coal Watchman Page has dis
covered pile of the fuel to the extent OF
perhaps 500 pounds hid in some rubbish.

HAVE MISTAKEN IDEA.
Railroad Tracks Adjoin Arena for the
Buffalo Hunt.

Some people have the mistaken idea, -
said Col L. r. Delaney, local agent of
the Santa Fe, last evening, that the In
dian buffalo hunt TO be given at Bliss. O.
T, Sunday is some distance from the
Santa Fe You can say for me-" said the
colonel, that sucn is not the case. The
arena in which the hunt Will be given
is within stones throw of the railroad
tracks. A grand stand with a capacity
for seating 10000 people has been erected
and everything is in readiness for the
big performance. The admission to the
hunt will be free.
A man who has charge of the arrange
ments for the hunt at Bliss was in the
city yesterday. He anticipates a large
attendance at the entertainment and
thinks there will be four or five hundred
pepole from Wichita alone. This buffalo
hunt Is the first that has been given in q
years and according to those who know
it will be the last.

CONSUMPTION CAUSES DEATH.
v. r. Williams Dies at His Home on
South Water Street.

V. R. Williams, aged 20 years. died of
consumption last night at 1890 o'clock, at
him home. 1856 South Water street He
leaves a wife to mourn his loss.
Although but a resident of Wichita for
about two years, Mr.. Williams made
many friends who will sorrow greatly to
hear of their friends death. He was well
liked by every one, owing to kindly
disposition, and his, death is all the
more sad as he passed away while yet
but young man.
V. r. Williams was in the employ of
the Missouri Pacific as a fireman up until
three months ago, when he was taken
too i'll to perform his duties. He pro-
cured a lay-off and went to Mexico in the
hopes of benefitting his health and to
gain relief from the terrible disease of
which he was a victim. His condition
grew worse instead of better and he re-
turned home about two weeks ago. Since
that time he was confined to his bed al
most continuously and the attending
physicians could offer no hope for his
recovery.
An announcement of the funeral ser
vices will be made later. The body will
be buried in Wichita.

UNEARTHED
A SKELETON
Reported to Be that of a
White Man Hung
Years Ago

The down town district was thrown
I'm an uproar last evening when IA re-
port was circulated on the street that
some one had been shot on east Main
street Chief Masters secured a car
riage and went to the supposed scene
of the killing and learned that instead
of a killing that the grave of an UNI
known had been discovered and "A skel-
eton Of some person found. The skele-
ton was unearthed on the Trimble
property in Riverview addition and in
the rear yard occupied by Mr.. A. f.
Forward.
There are many Indians buried in
different portions of the city and the
ear marks OF this grave are that of an
Indian. Today however report is i'm
circulation that the skeleton is that
of man who was secretly hung In that
section OF Lewiston about thirty years
ago. The story as told by n Mr.. Elliott
Is that the man hung was a prospector
in the Pierce district who had stolen a
bag of gold dust and deeamped He
was captured near here and was hung
after a rough scaffold was built and
Mr.. Forward who was on the scene
when the skeleton was found states
that n rope about twice as long as the
skeleton was found among the bones,
though much decayed. and also leath-
er strap which he thinks might have
been around the mans neck. He also
discovered two posts which might have
been part of the scaffoid.
Judge Reese today secured the skel-
eton for his cabinet and states that at
nrst he believed It was that of a white
man as the head appears to be too
large for that of an Indian. He says.
however, the skull is almost abnormal
in size and the bones of the body are
large but short. There is a slight crack
in the skull over the right eye, The
story of the hanging is not accredited
by old timers who say that there has
been no such hanging that they can
recall having taken place In the past
thirty years
The mystery of the skeleton is still
open for discussion and the bones may
be viewed nj the office OF Probate Judge
Reese.
