UNKNOWN DEAD. A RoBBER.
Man Killed by Car Had Detectives on
His Trail.

Leayenworth, kas., Nov. with
Missouri Pacific railroad detectives hot
on his trail and the prospect of a term
in prison staring at him out of the
future, the unknown man who was
run down and killed opposite the
League park entrance by an electric
car Tuesday night is believed to have
been a rObber. Information has been
given Coroner Smith to the effect that
JnO. DeLOng of the detective force of
the Missouri Pacific railway was fol-
lowing the One-armed man for the
purpose of causing his arrest when
the unknown was run down by the car
and killed.
The connecting story is that on Oe-
tober 10 the depot at Lansing or the
junction, was broken into and tickets
of the Union Pacific and the Missouri
Pacific railways were stolen by the
burglars tuesday morning a one
armed man corresponding in general
description to the victim of the car
and believed to have been the same
entered the depot and went into the
toilet room. Almost Immediately af-
ter his departure the ticket agent went
into the place and found there three
of the tickets stolen out of the depot
case on the night of October 10.
The agent comm unicated with the
detective department and Special
Agent DeLOng was sent TO Lansing
on the case. He traced the one-armed
man about and found out that he had
been seen lounging about Lansing la
ter in the morning than the happen
ing at the depot. It has also been
learned that the unknown 1ounged
about on the pike during the after
noon. He was seen in BrinkIey's sa-
! loon and went from there to Leintz's
/ place across the street. The proprie-
/ tors of both places assert that he was
\ more or less under the sway of drink.
/ There is also evidence to show that
! he peddled pins and pencils on the
pike. but nothing of the goods he ped
died was found about his person ex-
cept one unused lead pencil 1t may
or may not have been part of his
stock IN trade.

THIS is GREAT RECORD

LeaVenworth, Kan, Nov. Am effort
IS being made by Warden r. w. Ne
Claughry of the federal penitentiary to
get the officials Of the department of
Justice to have a bill passed by congress
at the next session for the paroling of
prisoners from the Q. S. penitentiary
In his annual report to the attorney
general of the United States Warden
McClaughry recommended that a law
granting paroles to the federal prison
ers after they have served a certain
time in the penitentiary be passed.
During the recent visit Of General
Clay. general agent Of the department
Of justice Warden McClaughry pre-
scented his views in regard to this mat
ter. General Clay and the officials of
the department Of justice are now con
sidering this matter and it is posslole
that something definite can be learned
from the general agent when he visits
the federal prison in about sixty days.
Record Clerk NJ. W. McClaughry is
now preparing a report to show how
many prisoners violated their paroles at
the prison at the time that they We're
trusted by the warden He will send
this to the department officials for then
consideration. These statistics cover 4
period of ten years, from July l. 1895. to
June 80, 1906. During this time 279O
prisoners were paroIed or made TRUSTEES
These were allowed only TO go out about
the prison and 10 go as far as town in
company with an official of the prison
when driving a wagon Out Of the 2790
prisoners paroled III paroles were can
celled. These were recalled for the rea-
son that all broke their parole by escap-
ing. dghting and misconduct. The total
number Of prisoners received at the fel-
eraI penitentiary during the ten years
was 1926. and the total number of pris =
oners not parOled was 1856.
The fact that out Of the large num-
Der Of prisoners trusted at the prison
only III violated their parole VIII help
very materially in having the parole
law passed
Warden McClaughry stated yesterday
that he was in favor of the parole law
for the reason that he thought it would
be the best way to treat the prisoners.
1t is his plan to have the parole law. If
favorably considered by the department
and passed by congress. similar in
character to the parole law in use in

Housekeeping With.

Housekeeping With.
Fort Scott. Kas., Nov. 2.-There are
probably a large number of boys in
Fort Scott who impose on their par
ents in every way possible when real
~ they cannot afford to do it. There
is one case in this city that is par
ucularly celebrated and illustrates the
ingratttude of a son toward father.
The boy had been rather wild and
had cost the father considerable
money in past years. Then he got
married and the father smiled, believ-
ing that his erring son was at last TO
settle down. The boy made such pro-
LESSONS and the father went to the ex-
pense of furnishing a neat little cot
tage for him and his wife, spending
$500 on the same. The boy was real
" fixed up to live in style, and as he
had secured a position he was all
right for some time to come. The
father thought no more about the err
ring ways of the boy until some six

the telephone office that his son was
in Paola and wanted to talk with him.
Without saying another word. the
father drove to the little house that
he had furnished. only to find it emp

taken out He then made other in
quiries and found that every stitch
of the furniture, which was all new,
had been sold to the second hand
store. The boy had taken the money
and skipped out. When he had spent
it he phoned his father for more
money, but the stern parent. tired of
being abused, turned the deaf ear.
