THEO. SCHREIBER'S JOKE
SIipped into Topeka and Was Mar
ricd But Dodged Process Servers

Theodore Schneider, the alleged local
agent of the Anheuser-Busch Brewing
company, who left Topeka month ago
when the attorney general sought to
serve an injunction upon him, slipped
into the city Wednesday, secured
marriage license at the probate court,
and was married to Clara Moeser,
daughter of the late Ed Moeser.
While the attorney generals force has
been trying to locate Mr.. Schneider, he
was living out of their jurisdiction, but
his sense of humor prompted him TO
She could have travelled to Kansas City
be married at her home. After the we'd
ding the couple as quietly slipped away,
and are now out of the state.
Schneider was formerly manager for
Ed Moeser, who was local agent for the
company. After
Moeser's death 1T was generally under
stood that Schneider was conducting the
agency which was not then considered
illegal. The recent ruling of the SUI
preme court which left the wholesalers
and agents open to the same treatment
as bootleggers, was "bucked'' by some
agents, but not by Mr.. Schneider, who at
once closed up his wholesale establish
ment on lower Kansas avenue and left
the state before an injunction could be
served.
Schneider had many friends in Topeka,
even among the class of people who
looked with great disfavor upon his bus
mess.

TURNS OVER HIS ESTATE
john f. FarnswOrth, Wealthy Pioneer
Names SOn-in-Iaw as Trustee.

A deed of trust was filed this morn
ing with County Clerk Zimmerman by
John +. Farnsworth and his wife,
Nancy A. Farnsworth, conveying all of
their holdings to their son-in-law, H.
c. Ashby, of Tulsa, Ok, in trust. The
property conveyed is large and consists
of more than 100 lots scattered about
the city as Well as five lots and build
ings located on. Kansas avenue and a
number of farms in Shawnee county.
Mr. FarnsWorth is one of the earliest
settlers in Shawnee county and has &C
CURED valuable estate which has be-
come a burden to him in his declining
years and the move this morning was
taken as a preliminary step to retire
ment from active business.
The trust deed stipulates that P. L.
Soper of Oklahoma. another son-in-law,
shall act as attorney for the trustee.
Mr.. Ashby, who will serve as trustee
without bond will have full charge of
the estate and will report each month
to Mr.. Farnsworth.
The instrument filed this morning is
peculiar one, inasmuch as it is to all
purposes and intents a will disposing of
one of the largest estates in the county.
1t provides that the trustees shall make
reports to the principals on the first of
each month as long as either of them
are alive, and that in case of the death
of the trustee that another shall be APP
pointed by the judge of the district
court.
On the first of March of each year
81 900 is to be given to each of the sons
and daughters of Mr.. and Mrs. Farms
worth, and at the expiration of 20 years
the estate is to be divided equally
among the children. and grandchildren
of Mr.. and Mrs. Farnsworth. The only
property not included in the list turned
over to the trustee is the homestead
and the household furnishings. A clause
is added which gives to grandson
Franklin Ashby $1,000 as soon as he
has earned this sum by his own efforts
unaided in any way by his relatives.

new CHANUTE SHOPS.
General Manager Hurley Suddenly
Decides to Rusl. Matters.

Chanute, Kan. July 1.-THE Sun
says: General Manager Hurley of the
Santa Fe sent a telegram yesterday
from Ottawa to the general offices in
Chicago, ordering them to go ahead
and let the contract for the Chanute
shops at once, and arrange for work to
commence Immediately.
Proceeding on down the line he told
the local division officials when his
special arrived here that it was up to
them to push the work of construc-
ton as fast as possible when the work
was commenced. so that no delays
could be permitted to creep in and in
terfere with completing the work this
year.
Superintendent Barnes had all ar
engagements made, to go to Colorado
for his two months vacation and left
this morning as he intended, but it is
expected that he will return at once.
The magnitude of the Santa Fe's
plans for Chanute can best ebe under
stood from the. Suns original state
ment last year when the plans were
first definitely decided upon. At that
time it was stated to the Sun by one
planned by the Santa Fe to be put in
here. would add a permanent working
force of 1000 men when it was COM
pleted 1t was said though that Cha
mute need not expect all this to be
done in the first year but that it would
be done as conditions and traffic JUS
tilted. Later, from the same source,
the Sun learned that the initial con-
tracts to be covered by the 1907 bud
get amounted to 100000 ana would
include a new round house and en-
CINE shops, which when finished
would employ 800 men. This was to
be the starter and contracts were let
last fall to Topeka firm for approx
mateIy that amount. The contracts
were afterwards withdrawn temper
arily, and held UP pending certain dis
turbed conditions. The Sun is in
formed that Mr.. Hurley's telegram
Yesterday to the Chicago headquarters
was an order for the re-letting of these
initial contracts.
Upon the completion of this work

''DAL" IS SUSPENDED.
Veteran Outficlder Can Not Play With
Topeka.

Dalrymple. the center fielder of the
White Sox. was suspended indefinitely
this morning by President D. M
Shively of the Western association.
Umpire Mike Jacobs who is working
in the present series received the fol-
lowing wire from Shively this morn
ing:
Kansas City, Mo, July IL, 1907.
Mike Jacobs Umpire, Topeka, Kan.
Do not let Dalrymple play with To-
peka until further orders. Dubuque
(Signed.1 d. NJ. SHIvELY.
This will leave Topeka in bad shape
as Captain Huriburt who will go into
the game is not able to play on &C
count of his bad arm. The suspension
of Dalrymple is an outgrowth of the
trouble he had with the Dubuque man
agement previous to his coming to To-
peka and which was thought to have
been definitely settled.
DaIrymple started out this spring
al mana ger of the Webb City team but
when Lawrence Milton purchased a
Dalrympic was forced into the back
ground. Relations between Milton and
Dial were not too intimate and on one
occasion DaIrymple was fined by Mil
ton and refused to pay it. This led to
his being traded to the Dubuque team
for Outflelder Fleming, who is now
with Webb City. Dubuque, however,
wanted to subject the veteran to a cut
in salary which he refused to stand.
This gave him sufficient ground for
his release ana hence he came to To-
peka who has been trying to get him
all spring. Just what ground Dubuque
has for his services at this time is not
known. 1t will probably be some time
before the muddle is Strengthened out
and Dalrymple again wears a Topeka
uniform.
Added to the decentralization of the
team because of the suspension of
DalrymDle is the absence of Red Da-
Wis today which will leave the OUT
field in a particularly distressing
shape. Erwin will play in Davis place
today. While under the suspension
which was just raised few days ago,
Davis went out to Norton in the west
ern part of the state to play a few

Deputy Sheriff Thompson a
sauited Then Arrested.

Deputy Sheriff A. S. Thompson had
quite an exciting time for few
minutes yesterday afternoon while try
ing to carry out an order Of the Court
on q judgment. 1t seems that r. j.
Neely had obtained judgment against
Mr.. Chas. Cooley for something like
$l00, and Deputy Sheriff Thompson
ent to Mr. Cooley's storeroom, on
ain street, to make levy on enough
GODS TO satisfy the judgment. In q
polite manner he told Mrs. Cooley, her
husband being absent, that it was an
unpleasant duty on his part but he had
to obey the order of the Court. Mrs.
Cooley became very much enraged and
informed the officer that he could not
remove a single thing from the house.
as everything belonged to her and not
to her husband.
Mr.. Thompson, however. walked to
the telephone and ordered transfer
wagon, and while talking over the
phone Mrs. Cooley jerked the receiver
from his hand and ordered him out of
the house, and proceeded to put him
out, her stepson, Cleon Cooley, aged
about Il, coming to her assistance and
landing a vicious blow on NJ. Thomp-
sens jaw straight from the shoulder.
The officer having already received a
scratch from Mrs. Cooley on the cheek
that had brought the claret, became a
little ruffied. and pushed Mrs. Coolt Y
from him to the floor, he then handed
the stepson one that put him to the
mat. The stepson arose and started
for the officer again, when Mr.. ThOmp-
son pulled his gun and told him to stop
or he would put both of them in jail.
, He stopped. Things then quieted down
IA little and the officer finished carrying
out the order of the Court without any
further trouble.
The Nicely judgment was afterwards
satisfied, and the goods were released.
Deputy Sheriff Talbot then appeared
on the scene and made levy for $5S
for rent due Mrs. Mary A. Patton.
Mrs. Cooley swore out a warrant
against Deputy Thompson for breach
of the peace in pushing her down, and
an interesting trial will be held before
Judge Dundon this morning at 10
O'Clock.

An Interesting and Valuable Old
Relic.

Mr.. John G. Redmon, one of our
weil-known farmers living near town
on JackStown pike, brought into this
office court day an old almanac, dated
1907, published at Lexington, KY, by
Joseph CharlesS, to have rebound. In
giancing through it we find much of in
terest. Mr.. Redmon found it in an old
trunk of his fathers, Mr.. T. j, Red
mon, which he had occasion to look
through the other day.
The book was yellow from age, but
in good condition, the subject matter
of every page being legible. On the
back of the book and the reverse side
was table giving the post road out of
Lexington, over which GOV eminent mail
wagons travelled, and the distances to
each town and postoffice. From Lex
miles, Baltimore, 564 miles, Pittsburg,
Pa, 346 miles, Vinciennes, Ind, 1913
miles, Cincinnati SO miles and Detroit,
Mich, 406 miles.
1t also gives the officers Of the
Government of the United States at
that time, for instance: Thomas
Jefferson, President and Commander
in-Chief OF the Armies and Ma Ties of
the United States; Geo. Clinton, Vice
President and President of the Senate;
James Madison, Secretary OF State !;
John Breckenridge. Attorney Genearl /;

The following were tha officers Of
the Government of Kentucky at that

MR.. T. Redmon was born in the same
year of the publication of the book,
which was purchased by his father,
George Redmon, grandfather Of J. g.
Redmon, and who resided upon the
same farm now occupied by Mr.. Red
mon. 1t is quite an interesting and
valuable old relic.
