SAID SHE RAN AWAY.
Mrs. Kirschner. Topeka Woman. Held
at Kansas City Evidently Insane.

The Kansas City Journal of this
morning publishes the following story
concerning the Topeka woman men
toned last night and dentist of this
city, though no such a dentist is known
here:
Mrs Lydia Kirschner, 80 years old
and her 4-year-old boy, are being held
in the matron's room at police head
quarters until story told by her
when taken there Tuesday night can
be Investigated.
She said that her home is at 1872
Jefferson street. Topeka, Kan, and
that her husband. Thomas Kirschner.
is a carpenter there. She said that a
dentist, DR.. George Etten, in Topeka,
was working on her teeth Tuesday
morning man went to her house and
represented that he had come from
the dentist. She said that this man
promised to marry her here today and
that she had taken as much as 81, 600
from her husbands locker and trunk
and left with this man.
"On the way to Kansas City" said
the woman, The counted out the money
but did not tell me how much there
was. He left this little grip with me
and went forward to the smoker
When we got in here he was gone
Mrs. Kirschner shows plainly that
she is demented but she has stuck to
this same story SO strongly. while way
ering as to other details, that the po-
lice think it bears investigation. She
admitted having been in an asylum
and said that her husband was cruel
to her. For that reason, she said, sh e
was afraid to go home. She and her
child. who left home hurriedly and
without preparation, are now in the
hands of Colonel J. c. Greenman, hu-
name agent who will confer with To-
peka authorities and probably make
some disposition of the case today.
The Kfrsch ners live at the number
Indicated on Jefferson street, though
the neighbors seem to know but little
of them, and the husband IS in Kansas
City investigating the story his wife
has told to the police of that city. AS
for the man in the case who is said
to be DR.. George Etten, Topeka
dentist, nothing IS known of him in
the city among the members Of the
dental fraternity.
The first that the police knew of the
affair was when they received q tele-
gram from the chief Of police Of Kan
sas City late yesterday afternoon say
ing: Mrs. Lydia Birschner OF 1Sz
Jefferson street arrested. Notify her
husband, Thomas Kirschner. and COM
municate with the humane officer of
this city

changed and she will serve nine
months in the county institution for
law breakers.
Clarence ReveIy has been sleeping
| for some time with a charge of rob
berry from the person hanging over
him, but he was relieved of his today
when County Attorney Hungate asked
that the case be dismissed as the evil
dence did not appeartO warrant hold
ing the defendant.
Charles NJ. McNatt. who has a sim
liar charge hanging over him, was not
SO fortunate and as he was not ready
for trial or else the county attorney
was not, the records do not show
which. his case was continued until the
next term of court.
H n. Gross is charged by VIE No. 2
with having at least one wife too many
and as her complaint was made in the
regular way a warrant was sworn out
for Cross charging that he Is bigamist
He has worked about automobile and
! bicycle repair shops in Topeka for a
number of years and to take q look at
! him he is about the last man on earth
one would suppose would have a super
abundance of wives.
Wife No. ., who lives in Kansas City,
came to Topeka and started all Of the
trouble for Mr.. Cross and while she
states that she does not want him she
is equally sure that she does not want
any other woman to have him, hence
| the proceedings. His case will go over
until the next term of court and in the
meantime he will have his liberty upon
furnishing a bond of $500.
Joe Kinnard had a slight f1stic en-
counter and was awarded the decision
some few weeks ago and as a result Of
dissa tisfaction growing out of the af
fair his opponent had him arrested
charged with assault. Evidently the
man who took second place in the en-
counter has thought better of his de-
cision to land Kinnard behind the bars,
and as the evidence which has been
produced Is weak the case was dis
missed this morning at the request of
County Attorney Hungate.
Louis Vaughn who is several years
too young to be sentenced to either
the county jail or the penite1tiary
though he might deserve it pleaded
guilty to an assault with intent to kill
and will be taken to the state reform
school where he will be given board
and lodging for several years to come
and encouraged to learn a trade and
tread the straight and narrow path.

FOR THE wORLD's SERIES.
Arrangements Being Made for Battle
of Chicago Ball Teams.

Chicago, Oct. 4.-Through the post
ponement of the Sox's double
header at St. Louis and the loss
Of the second game at Philadef-
phia by the Yankees yesterday.
the white Sox have cinched the
American league pennant. The world 8
champ ionship series Will therefore be
played between the Cubs and SOx in
Chicago The elimination of yester-
DAVIS two games with st. Louis leaves
the Sex with only four games to be
r,layed Should they lose all four of
these contests the pennant is theirs.
The National league team won be-
cause 1t was the best team. The
American league team won because it
is the gam est, best handled and most
scientific team. The details of the
fight between the two for the worlds
championship series will be settled at
a conference at the Auditorium today,
between Pullian, representing the ma
tfonaI commission, and Coniskey and
Murphy. The first game will be played
either Monday or Tuesday Of next
week Plans are under way for rous-
ing recep tion to be rendered the White
SOx on their return today.
Procedure in determining which
team should have the advantage Of the
first game was distinctly Informal. Mr..
Murphy borrowed a dollar and spun It
in the air and Mr.. Comlskey said
heads" He lost and the discussion
in which several newspaper men par
ticipated turned on seating capacity and
prices for admission to see the games.
The presidents of both clubs expressed
themselves in favor of ordinary prices
for the reason that both teams have
been literally supported during the
season. Mr.. PuIIiam. president of the
National league. set the price question
at rest by stating that the matter OF
prices would settled by the national
commission, which has charge of the
games. An announcement is expected
from Mr.. Hermann at Cincinnati late
this afternoon. Mr.. Murphy said that
by reason of extra boxes seating 1900
people and circus seats he would be
able to seat $4,000 people in the west
side grounds. Mr.. COmiskey declared
that similar arrangements on the
south side would accomm odate 5000.
There will be no material change in
the rules of last years championship
series IN the present instance. Mr..
Murphy wants more room behind the
catcher for his extra boxes, including
the press stand, than was allowed last
year. Mr.. Comiskey does not object,
but the matter probably viii have to
be settled by the national commission
which VIII meet in Chicago next Mon
day The advance inquiry for seats.
not only locally but from outside cities
is heavy, but the presidents Of both
teams state that they VIII be able re
