JENKINS DID Right.
Policeman Who Shot z, e. Kelley
Commended b.! Judge.

E. E. Kelley, the contractor who was
shot through the arm Sunday evening
by Officer Jenkins, was fined SIS in
police court last evening, and appealed
the case.
The three other men mixed up in
the fight with the officer, James Swift
ger, George Peyton and John Young,
were fined $25, $50 and $40 respec-
lively, as the evidence showed Peyton
to be a close second to Kelley in the
disturbance. The three minor Offend
ers paid their fines at once.
The evidence given by the eye wit
nesses to the affair bore out the state
nIent made by the officer in every de-
tail, and made it worse for the defend
ants than did Jenkins story. The of
ficer said one of them struck him and
another took away his club before he
shot Kelley in the arm. The witnesses
said that the policeman gave the man
every possible chance, backed away
from them when they tried to fight
him, and did not shoot until 1t was
necessary to protect himself.
The story of the disturbance, as told
by the witnesses, was in effect that the
quartette of drunken men wandered
down Kansas avenue and started trou-
bic at the restaurant at 317 Kansas
avenue. They were met at the door
by Officers Hobson and jenkins, and
told to go home and be quiet This
they promised to do, but stopped at
the corner of Third and Quincy stfe Gets
and Kelley tried to tear dow ma railing.
The officers came to them again and
told them to go home. Peyton and
Kelley declared that they would not
go, and the officers told them they
were under arrest. Hobson started to
call the patrol wagon, while Jenkins
remained with the prisoners. While
Hobson was gone, Peyton and Kelley
attacked Jenkins. Kelley struck the
officer in the face. Jenkins raised his
club to return the blow, but Peyton
seized the stick and wrenched it from
the officers hand. Kelley made an
other attack, and Jenkins drew his re-
volver and, at a range of about three
feet, shot Kelley through the arm,
temporarily disabling him. Turning
upon Peyton and Switzer, who had at
tackled him from the rear, Jenkins
pointed his revolver at them and told
them to be quiet. They kept on ad-
vancing and Jenkins retreated several
steps. as if he were trying to give them
a chance for their lives. On their way
to the station Peyton and Kelley start
ed to fight the officers, and were club
bed by Jenkins and Hobson.
Judge Urmy commended Officer
Jenkins for his GOODNESS in the affair,
and because he had not been too lavish
in his distribution of bullets.

BREWSTER is NAMED.
Doniphan County Attorney Special
Master in Kaw River Gases.

On Friday night before adjourning
court Judge Pollock announced the
appointment of s. NJ. Brewster, coun-
ty attorney of Doniphan county. as
special master to hear testimony in
the Kaw river obstruction cases.
Mr.. Brewster will determine the
time at which the hearing of the evil
dence will commence. 1t will occupy
at least a month and will be very ex-
haustive and comprehensive. 1t is
probable that the work will COM
mence in about week. The testi-
mony will be taken in the federal
court at Kansas City, because all of
the defendants live there.
Cases are now pending against the
Kansas City Stock Yards company,
the Kansas City Belt Line railway, the
Union Pacific railway, the Missouri
Pacific railway, and the Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific railway.
The point to be determined is
whether or not the Kaw river is nav
igable At the present time all of the
named defendants have bridges and
abutments in the river, which it is de-
clared cause the river to overflow and
inundate Kansas City. To clear up
these Instructions it is necessary to
have it decided that the stream is
meanderabIe, and the question of
overflow and inundation will have no
direct bearing whatever.

NEW FIELDER rs HERE.
Lazotte, of the st. Joe Western League
Team, Joins White sox.

Abe Lazotte, lately released from
the st. Joseph Western league team,
Is the latest acquisition to the White
Sox. He arrived this morning and
was scheduled to appear in right
field this afternoon in the place of
Charley Crunl, who will warm the
bench for a few days.
Lazottes retirement from st. Jo-
seph was due to an attempt to cut his
salary, for which he would not stand.
Under such conditions player must
be given his release in case he asks
for 1t. The Western league is on the
shoals just now. 4 policy of expense
retrenehment has been set up by cut
ting the salaries of players. Some are
putting up with 1t and others are de-
sorting, as did Lazotte, as he had a
right to do under the rules of the ma
tiona1 agreement.
He is a good outfieider and a. good
batter, his average up to date in the
Western league being over 800. He
Will doubtless strengthen the failing
fortunes of the White Legs.
The question now bothering the
players is concerning the man to be
released. President Sheard and Cap
tain Blackburn say they have not yet
made up their minds who will go.
Crum has not been hitting satisfac-
torily, and may be the victim. He
has been unfortunate in that he has
been sick most of the spring.
The management is negotiating with
Sioux City for a third baseman which
that team has on the bench at the
present time. Communication has
also been established with Denver for
a pitcher, a southpaw with a good
reputation. Oklahoma City may also
furnish the White Legs with a
tWirler.
There is some talk of getting Eddie
Lyons of Leavenworth for try-out.
He is a rafting good ball player, but
because of unruIiness was fined and
benched by the Woodpeckers. At
third base he plays a great game and
is also a hitter. Next week will prob
ably see a number of new faces on
the team.
