WIFE BOUND TO DIE.
Mrs. William t. Kibby, Bride of year,
Tries in Vain to Take Own Life.

William T Kibby. a husband of less
than year, this morning asked the po-
lice and county officers to determine
what he had best do with his wife, be-
cause she had made repeated efforts to
commit suicide
Kibby and his wife live at 1424 Kansas
avenue. Formerly they lived on Bran
ner street. He did not tell what his oc-
cupation Is The records at the office
Of the probate judge show that the cou-
pie was married on April 18, 1906 less
than year ago. The man gave his
home at the time as Topeka, while the
woman said she was from C1arksburg,
West Virginia. He gave his age as Is
and she hers as 27.
Kibby first went to Chief of Police
Goodwin and told him that on Monday
night he found his wife hanging to the
cellar door, and that she was nearly
dead from strangulation before he res
cued her. This morning, he declares,
she tried to kill herself with a pairing
knife, but he disarn1ed her before she
was able to infict damage. He further
related that she has made previous at
tempts to take her life during the past
two or three months, and now bears
large wound on her breast where she
attempted to stab herself with pair Of
scissors.
Chief of Police Goodwin suggested to
Kibby that he go to the county officers
and have them look after her. Sheriff
Lucas referred him to Probate Judge
Hayden. to get out warrant for his
Wife's sanity, and have her placed in
charge of the asylum.
Kibby found Deputy George Flanders
in charge of the probate court. and re-
lated his story to him. I want you TO
tell me how to take care Of her" said
Kibby. 'fShe has made a number Of
attempts to commit suicide, and threat
ems to do so right along"
You had better get out a warrant for
her and have her tried for her sanity"
suggested Flanders.
But Kfbby did not seem to take kind
ly to this view of the matter. In fact
he did not express himself concerning
it, and finally went away without
swearing to a warrant.

NO ASSISTANT HERE.
Judge Garver's Position VIII Not Be
Filled.

It is not likely that any successor to
7. F. Carver as assistant attorney gen
eral will be appointed in Shawnee
county. Attorney General Coleman and
Governor Hoch both agree that such a
course is hardly necessary.
General Coleman said today:
1T has not been decided what will
be done about a successor to Mr.. Gar
yer, but judging from the turn things
have taken in the recent elections, con
Yentions, etc, It may not be necessary
to appoint anyone to the place
Governor Hoch, who is the power
behind the throne in the assistant at
tOrney general matter, said: "Indica-
tfons are that Shawnee county will not
be in need of an assistant attorney
general much longer. It is a hard
position for anybody to fill, and while
Mr.. Carver was unable to carry out
his plans still in some counties the as
ssistant attorney generals have been do
ing good work"
No resignation has been received vet
from Dick Blue, down in Cherokee
county. It has been stated that Col
Blue was preparing to move to New
Mexico to make that his permanent
home, but the latest reports are that
he is starting up a new fight on the
joints.

but Prendergast was held all night.

said that he went to the tlleater. but
was given a seat in the rear Of the
house where he could not see thess show.
He complained to an usher, who told
him to go to the box Office and get his
money back. He did so, and was just
leaving the building, when he was rs
saulted from the rear and knocked
down by a blow on the head. He did
not see his assaiIant before he was as
saulted. The officers found a square
block of wood near the scene Of the
scuf1e, and decided that Daniels had
used it to assault the man.
Daniels has a long record for dis
turbances and assaults. A few years
ago, while he was running a joint on
