money had been saved from the

raising potatoes. The police heard
of the case and the result was a
general close up.
An effort will be made to recover
the money for Mrs. Salisbury, but
there is no prospect that this will
be successful. The gamblers are

crease in wages of $40 per month
was granted men who had been re-
ceiving $50 per month, and those
who were paid $50 were advanced
to $40. Another generous action
the company has taken is selling
its employees coal at cost. A bulie.
tin was posted few days ago to
this effect. The notice had only
been up a few hours when the total
amount of coal subscribed for by
the railroad men footed up total
of over 400 tons. The men say that
aside from the coal costing much
less than the local dealers were
selling it they were previously I'm.
able at times to secure fuel at any
price.
Train crews are being worked
night and day in an effort to catch
up with the business delayed by

and he decided to rob banks. On
November 10, he successfully rob-
bed the bank at Newton of $3.50.
This money according to his con-
fession, he spent in riotious living
in New York and Chicago. When
he became "broke" he planned the
Great Bend bank robbery and after
a fight for his life he surrendered.
He had taken refuge in a millinery
store and the building was bonn
barded before he would surrender.
1t was during the bOmbardment
that the innocent man was killed.
While Kearns was spending his
ill-gotten gains from the Newton
robbery, he found time to write a
novel with himself as the hero,
under the name of tom Ryan"
After relating his failure to hold
employment in Chicago the story
tells of his arrival in a little west
ern town, "Grayville," supposed to
mean Newton. The story of the
robbery of the bank there is told in
full in the manuscript of the novel,
which was found in his possession.
Kearns gave the alias of Geo. A.
Lewis when he was arrested De-
cember s, at Great Bend. His home
originally was at Ann Arbor, Mich,
where his mother now lives. He is
now awaiting the action of the
grand jury. He is said to have
stated he would plead guilty to
bank robbery.

COLLEGE

SEATTLE, Dec. 27.-Thieves in
fest the University of Washington.
Complaints, emanating from the
women's dormitories, cloak rooms,
gymnasium dressing rooms and
even from the recitation rooms to
the effect that all manner of per-
sonal property has been myster-
iously disappearing, have grown
and multiplied so that now almost
any one of the state university CO.
eds need only turn her back for a
moment and presto, something Is
gone.
Cash, in sums ranging from 5
cents to $40, has been stolen by the
unknown thieves, and valuable
books have been taken out of desks
with impunity. Rings have been
stolen, which owners have taken
off for a second while washing
their hands. In the gymnasium the
locker rooms are being rifled dar-
ingly, and even the keys stolen to
delay the discovery that the con-
tents are gone.
Signs to the effect that the uni
versity will not be responsible for
money, books or other articles lost
have been tackled up throughout
the campus.
That the thieves are girls is
strongly believed by the many vic
Tins because all of the thefts have
been committed either in the girls
locker rooms, dressing rooms or

He was met by a pleasant wom-

him cordially welcome.

The professor did not enter his
complaint. He had little love in
his heart, but he dreamed of that
collection of butterflies and pro-
posed to win them, even if he had
to go to the altar to do it.
1t was a brief honeymoon. The
professor was almost happy but
wanted to get back to that case of
butterflies. '1'll never be at peace
till it is safely among my other
specimens" he thought. The bride
was reading a letter and laughed

them. 1t is nothing, and, my dear,
he has done such nice thing to

trimmed your evergreen just like
he has kept mine for years"
And she was so happy she never
heard the professors hollow groan.
