ISHEUNBALANCED
Emil LambOtte, of Salina,
Stranded i'm New York City.
The Telegram States That 1t
is Believed He Is Deranged.
TICKET FOR ANTWERP,
Started From Kansas City for
Gotham Without Baggage.
Relatives Think Money Gave
Out and cit Was Fright.

salina, May 2S.-The Union says:
Emil Lambotte stranded here. APP
pears to be unbalanced"
Such was the message borne by
telegram sent from New York last
evening to w. s. Farrar of the Odd
Fellows lodge of this city.
The receipt of this telegram was
hardly a surprise. A letter from Kan
sas City a few days ago caused some
10 look for just some such telegram.
e. Lambotte has been for many
years the conductor of music store
in Salina. His whole soul seemed to
be wrapped up in music. He had
many peculiar ways but there was
nothing that would indicate an unbal-
anced mind. ~
4 few weeks sagoshe announced that
he would close outgIais business in this
city and for some time an auction sale
has been going on there. At the pres
ent time the stock has almost been
cleaned out.
Lambotte, who is an old man, Sc
cured a job in Kansas City and left
here short time ago to take the posi-
tion-
A few days later there came a let
ter from Kansas City sta ting that Emil
Lambotte had purchased a ticket for
Antwerp. He had told parties there
that he had friends in Antwerp who
would take care of him. After buying
his ticket he had $40 left
The letter indicated that Mr.. Lam
bottles actions at this time were very
strange, as after departing from Kan
sas City he left his grips and belong
ings at that place.
The telegram last night would indi-
cate that Mr.. Lambotte had proceeded
straight from Kansas City to take a
ship at New York for Europe.
Mr.. Lambotte was a member of the
Odd Fellows lodge in this city and for
this reason the telegram was sent to
the Odd Fellows here.
Upon receipt of the message the
family in Salina was notified at once,
! but it seems that they had received a
similar telegram from New York. At
every city of Importance the odd Fell
/ lows have a relief committee who take
charge of just such cases as this and
the Odd Fellows here Immediately
wired back that Mr.. Lambotte be
placed in charge of the relief commit
tee in New York until further orders.
In Salina it is not believed that Mr.
Lannbotte has become insane. 1t is
thought that his $40 gave out upon
i reaching New York, and finding him
self broke in a city the size of New
York, penniless. coupled with the ex-
element brought on by closing out his
business has been too much for him
and temporarily deranged him.
However, investigation will be made
at once as to his mental condition to
see whether or not it will be necessary
to send man to bring him back to
Ealina.

A MILLION AND A HALF.
Harvey County Banks Have That
Amount of Deposits.

Newton, May 23.-From the state
ments of the various banks of the
county, the returns made to the comp
troller of the currency or to the state
bank commissioner, it appears that the
combined deposits in the ten banks of
Harvey county are $1,569,15 4.55-
about a million and half of dollars.
This, of course, does not by any means
represent the wealth of the people of
the county, many having the greater
portion of their wealth in the form of
land, notes, mortgages and other in
vestments. The million and a half dol
lars represents only the cash deposited
in the banks. This is certainly a fine
showing and most of it has come about
in the last few years. The growth in
bank deposits the last five years show
a. wonderful increase. All of which in
dictates that the people of Little Har-
vey" are prosperous.
There are now ten banks in the
county, with the eleventh to be organ
lied soon. Two are national banks.
Within the last few weeks. new banks
have been established in Hesston and
Walton, each of which is capitalized
at $4,000. Halstead and Sedgwick
have each two banks and Burton one.

THE CROPS NEED RAIN.
Complaint Comes of Hot, Dry Winds
in the Vicinity of Gaylord.

Gaylord, Kan, May 23-With hot dry
winds from the south and no rain for
weeks, the crops continue to dry up in
stead of freezing now. Corn planting is
mostly over, lots of winter wheat be-
ing plowed up. Alfalfa in the recent
cold weather being frozen almost down
does not start and until another rain
crops of all kinds will suffer-
The ground this spring was in fine
condition and until the last few days of
hot weather has been moist enough to
stand the dry weather.
The farmers in this section having
sold off practically all of their wheat
very little wheat in the farmers hands,
not enough for milling purposes should
the crop in this part be a failure.
1t is reported there was some rain
so to 20 miles west last night.

The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1907-05-23

Daily Oklahoman: ''An negotiation.
to secure Catcher Cheek of the Webb
j City club are Off" said President S. c
F4eyman of the Oklahoma City Base
/ ball association yesterday.
1.-THE management of the Webb City
club said they could not part with him
as his removal would cripple the team
too badly:
"They are having poor attendance
| at the games in Webb City. On the
opening day with Oklahoma City on
the home grounds, with Mcfarland
pitching for the Nets, the attendance
was only 400, and the next day it drop
ped to 200. It is either a poor baseball
town or the people there lose ambition
early in the season when their club
| drops a few games
Here is some advice offered. to the
| Leavenworth manager by the Leaven-
worth Times: Manager Ray might
| busy handing the CUFF to the club
owners, to get up bunch of signals.
The team is badly in need of them.
1t might be possible to get a run once
in awhile with just a wee bit of ordi-
nary intelligence and team discipline.
The manager might also fine an occa-
sional player who strikes out on wild
pitches when told to wait it out. This
also if it won't offend the player.
Eddie McDill, who played with Sc
dalia a few years ago and was later
with Webb City in the Western asso-
citation, has been signed with Leaven-
worth and is now in the lineup of that
team. McDill was never a brilliant
player but will probably fit into the
Leavenworth team in good shape.
Leavenworth is pretty shy on players
and McDill ought to help them some,
especially as they have won only three
games this season.
AS was to be expected. Wichita has
found a reason for being defeated by
Hutchinson. This is shown by the fol-
lowing from the Wichita Eagle under
Hutchinson date line: Local fans
who are Interested in the team here
are considerably incensed at the ac-
Eckman during Sundays game with
Wichita here. They believe that a
deal was made by President Shively
to throw the game, away from the
pennant leaders to prevent the Job
bers from running away from the
other clubs this year. The idea IS
prevalent that Shively believes the
other cities will lose interest if Wichita
outclasses the other clubs IN the
league and that to prevent this the
president Is attempting to double
cross the Jobbers. Enthusiasts in the
sport here are afraid the action of the
umpire, acting under orders from
ShiveIy, will cause bitterness between
Hutchinson and Wichita, and this the
fans are anxious to prevent. Many ex-
pressed the opinion Sunday that the
game should really have gone to the
Jobbers, and they are willing to con-
cede that Wichita Will surely win the
penEsr1t this season. Hutchinson is
only figuring on beating the Oklahoma
city club for second place. and does
not wish to antagonize the Wichita
players. management or fans. That
the trouble should have come when
SO many Wichita fans were here is
especially regretted.
