mother were with her at the time of her
death. She leaves also one sister, who

MEMBER MADE A poor GUESS.
Located His Home in the same Block
as Police Judge Urmy's.

William Meneer is the name given by
a long lean lantern jawed copper color
ed negro of a late vintage who was
found this morning sleeping in a coal
house on Van Buren, street. He has an
impudent leer and a stock of back talk
that will undoubtedly be the means of
him cracking rock on the city stone pile
for quite a time.
He insisted on being tried with rs ha~
on which is against the etiquette OF
the court presided over by Judge Urmy,
but he didn't have much luck at that.
Vagrancy is the charge which is hold
ing him and he claims that 1t Is an out
rage as he is working every day, but
to save his sentence he could not think
of the name of his employer or his place
of business. He made the mistake Of
his life when he fixed his place of resi-
dence out near Washburn college and
in the same block with Police Judge
Urnly AS there is but one house in
the block and that one occupied by the
Judge of the police court the story was
unfortunate
As Meneer shuhled back to the cage
to await a further hearing this after
noon he nuttered curses on the branch
of fate which prompted him to guess SO
poorly. 1t is a practice of those who
are arrested as Migrants to select
site for their residence in some out Of
the way addition to the city which is
unknown to the officer and in this way
establish a residence about which they
can weave a happy home story and pos
siblv. escape a rock pile sente1ce. 1t IS
suspected that the Judge of tie kanga-
roo court which is always IN session at
the civ iaiI as q joke located the resi-
dence of Mr.. Meneer for him, and as d
Joke chose Judge Urmy's number

yesterday and hardly lit before he was
on his way to the police station ac-
companied by an officer.
He has been tried for insanity but
on account of his physical condition
was refused admission to the state in
stitution and was ordered to leave the
city. He claims that it was necessary
for him to pass through Topeka on his
way to Emmett where, he says, that
he is going to work. The story was
well told and though he was sent back
to the holdover he will probably be
released IN time to catch the O'Clock
train for his destination.
