Mayor W. H. Davis this morning
attached his signature to $7S.402.60 of
paving bonds for the construction of
the Sixth ward sewer. The bonds are
printed instead of autographed. The
council decided that it costs too much
to lithograph and the bonds are to be
printed hereafter. This was the first
installment of bonds which came un-

as good satisfaction.

NEGRO ISN'T ARRESTED
3. G. Evans, Wanted In Texas, Hiding
In Topeka.

J. 9. Evans, a negro wanted at some
point in southern Texas for assault
with irtent to kill, is in hiding in To-
peka, and for some reason the county
and city officers have failed to appFe-
bend him. The negro came to Topeka
ten days ago, and it is alleged that he
stopped at negro hotel on East Sew
enth street for several days.
Sheriff Lucas was notified that he
was in town, and later the police re-
ceived telegram concerning him. Ev-
ans tells story which gives him the
best of it. He says that he is wealthy,
and cNns q large tract of land in south
ern Texas, where the white population
is again the negro on general princi-
pies, and that two weeks ago a white
man who had been trying to get pos
session OF his property, came into his
plantation store and took a shot at
him. He returned the fire, wounding
the white man, and then escaped from
the country with bullet in his leg.
There are several stories afioat con-
corning the reason Evans is not picked
UP by the officers. The first is that he
is Il prominent negro Mason. Another
is that the prominent negroes of Tope-
ka have taken up his cause and have
prevailed on Governor Hoch to refuse a
requisition. Stiu another is that the
negro is armed with two automatic pis-
tolls and the officers know of his de-
termination tc stay away from Texas
while he IS alive.

BERRY TO GET $2s. 900.
Amount Allowed by ". P. Hackney,
Special Master.

w. P. Hackney, special master in
the case of J. J. Berry, of Marion
against H. A. Hapgood, of Chicago,
filed his report in the federal court
on Friday afternoon. 1t fixes the
amount to be paid to Berry by Hap
good, at s2S,000.
The case attracted a great deal OF
attention. Hapgood is a wealthy plow
manufacturer with his business at AL
ton. III. He bought a great deal Of land
in Kansas and appointed J. J. Berry,
Of Marion, his manager. The two
made a contract upon which the law
suit was finally brought.
Berry maintained that he was to re-
ceive fifty per cent of the earnings,
while Hapgood said he was merely on
a salary. Some time ago a jury tried
it in the federal court before Judge
Pollock, and Berry was awarded q
judgment of S45, 1000. the total earn
ings being represented as 100000.
To settle the exact amount due
Berry, a special master was appointed
to make an investigation. w. P. Hack
ney was appointed. Several weeks
were consumed in hearing the testi-
mony. Yesterday he filed his report,
and it allows Mr.. Berry $2S,00O as
his share of the proceeds.
J. S. Dean of Marion, and George
Hurd of Abilene, were. Berry's at
torneys, while Carver and Larimer, Of
Topeka, represented Mr.. Hapgood.

A few days before the diggers had
been steadily shoveling away the chips.
when suddenly a spade slid into va
caney, and they looked through a hole
into darkness. Across the hole lay a
staff with a gilt tip.
Someone has been here before u.s. -
they said, and left his stick
The opening grew larger with q few
more thrusts Of the spade, and suddenly
they found sofa cushion crumpled and
thrown down, as If in haste.
''They have left a cushionl they cried.
But neither the stick nor the cushion
had been thrown there by tourists.
They had been hurriedly cast aside
by frightened robbers 5000 years ago.
Nothing was touched except the gold
and silver, all of which had been taken.
The hole by which the robbers had
escaped was blocked by chips thrown
there from another tomb hewn out
about 1000 3. c. The robbers therefore
must have paid their visit before 1000

CROSS TO DO IT ALL.
There VIII Be But one Grain IN
spector in Topeka.

It is likely that a change viii be
made in the present method or gram
inspection at Topeka though no ofn-
ciai statement concerning the matter
has vet been made by State Grain In
spector j. W. Radford. The report
is that the work of grain inspecting
now done by Thomas Cross and J. F.
Buell. will be concentrated in the
hands of Mr.. Cross, and the Topeka
ONCE will be made a salaried position
paying Ss5 per month instead OF a
fee Office.
strongly recommended such a course.
They do not like the idea of having
two inspectors, and while there are no
charges aaginst Mr.. Buell., and no
fault to be found with the integrity of
his work, they seem to prefer to have
Mr.. Cross in the position.
At the time Governor Bailey was In
Office, there was quite a hard fight
about the Topeka appointment, and it
was finally compromised by allowing
Mr.. Cross and Mr.. Buell. to both hold
the position of inspector, and divide
the fees between them. This has been
the arrangement during the past two
years.
Under the proposed new plan. Mr..
Cross will have one assistant, and will
attend to all the inspection work done
at Topeka.
