Arrested on Suspicion,

w. F. Philips, printer Of Haviland,
Kansas, is in Jail in this city, charged
with completely in the burglary and rob-
berry Of the York-Key mercantile house
at Kiowa on the night of October | 5th.
He was arrested at Haviland by Sheriff
McCracken on Friday and brought to
this city. Mr.. Phillips was working on
the Journal at kiowa at the time of the
robbery and his actions have since excit-
ed suspicion. He left kiowa soon after
the crime was committed and instead Of
calling for his mail at the Kiowa postof-
fee dropped in a postal card during Of
fee hours and directed his mail forward
ed to Medicine Lodge. He came from
kiowa here and renamed a day. He
ordered his mail forwarded from here to
Greensburg. He walked from this city
to Lake City and from there went to
Havilaad By way Ct Belvidere. AT
Haviland he wrote letter to Sheriff
McCracken, signing the name Of farm
er who resides near Haviland. In this
letter he gives hints concerning parties
whom he suspects Of having committed
the crime, and this letter, in connection
with his movements, have aroused the
York-key people to suspect that if he
did not actually have a part in the bur-
glary and robbery, he at least knows
something about it. He was detected
as the writer Of the spuriously signed let
ter, by comparing the handwriting with
some Of his handwriting while he was at
kiowa.
Mr.. Philips wife lives at Lamar, Col
orado. She has recently brought suit for
divorce from her husband. Summons
was sent to Sheriff McCracken about the
time the Kiowa people suspected him.
When he was brought in on Friday he
telegraphed his wife money to come,
asked her not to press the divorce action
and informed her that he was in jail.
At the jail Mr.. Phillips stated that he
knows nothing more about the robbery
than he states in the letter. This letter,
Sheriff McCracken states, is not a mat
ter Of publicity at this time. The man
emphaically insists that he is entirely IN
nocent and seems very much depressed.
He has good appearance and is
splendid conversaionalist.

ate and MIR. Groves concluded that off,
cial action was imperative.
DR.. Coleman was appointed examin-
ing physician and Drs. VanDewalker
and kocieH constituted the commission.

lions from the board.

Easing Up.

Locally speaking. the financial crash
that nit this part Of the earth Odobe1
18th, is noticeably subdued this week
On Saturday both banks IN this city be.
gan paying out money IN aggregate
amounts Of $40 week to every man
who has bank account. This, it is be-
heved, will put sufficient small change IN
circulation to meet all cash requirements.
A very small per cent of the depositors
have thus far taken advantage Of this
privilege and considerably more money
was deposited in both banks than was
Withdrawn, which goes to show that
public confidence IN this community is FIRST
class.
Practically the same conditions prevail
in surrounding towns and while local mar
kets are uncertain and spasmodical it is
not near as demoralizng as at FIRST pre-
dicted.
In New York things are not so re-as-
suring. Clearances IN the gambling city
are not up to satisfactory mark and it
is not within the province of mortal man
to say what card the kings of finance"
will play next.
But IN the end the effect will be whole
some. Congress viii be compelled to
SIT up and take notice and it may result IN
putting some Of the big 6nanciers behind
the bars and abolishmg their criminal
practices.

Pulled Knife on Sheriff.

A stranger whose name is Frank
Blecha and whose residence is at Oak
Valley, Kansas. found trouble in this city
last Thursday night. The man was un-
der the influence Of liquor and when
night came he was sufficiently 'looney"
to be unable to find hotel. He went
to the Citizens State Bank early in the
evening and said he wanted bed. Up
on being informed that the bank was not
hotel, he went to other business houses
and made himself disagreeabIe and f.
nally at about 9 o'clock he turned in in"
at H. D. Fairs store, reclined on the
floor and announced that he proposed to
spend the night there. No argument
could dissuade him from his ultimatum
and finally Sheriff McCracken was called.
The sheriff looked upon him as a common
inofensive drunk" and took him out of
the Store down to the court house, In
tending to give him a bed in the Office.
1t happened that County Clerk Ireland
was at work In his Office that night and
when the sheriff and the man got to the
clerks window where the light shone on
them, Blecha demanded to see Sheriff
McCrackens authority, and after parley-
ing moment as drunk man naturally
does, he pulled his knife and before
Sheriff McCracken could take it away
from him, struck the officer in the palm
Of the hand, inAicting quite deep wound.
The knife also struck the sheriff on the
vest and cut through it. Had the as.
sault been made in the dark it is quite
probable that Sheriff McCracken would
have been very badly hurt. The knife
was large and quite sharp. Following
this incident, Sheriff McCracken disarm-
ed Blecha and locked him in jail.
Considering the kind treatment that
Sheriff McCracken gave this man, the
attempted crime was dastardly in the ex-
treme. He had asked the sheriff to get
him something to eat and furnish him a
bed which the sheriff told him he would
do the man was very courteous, and
seemed to be in good humor and every
thing was apparently agreeable and salts
factory until he pulled the knife. A few
days after he sobered up he apologized
and became penitent, begging to be re-
leased.
Blechas purpose here was to nego-
tiate trade. He was here on a deal
for ZOO acres Of land west Of the gyp
hills for which he was offering a quarter
section of improved land in Elk county.
He is man Of moderate means and
quite presentable when sober.
In view Of the good promises made,
Sheriff McCracken did not prefer Pc
nal charge and Blecha, on agreement to
plead guilty to charge of resisting an
officer, was released from jail and per-
mitted to go to look at the land he had
in view, on Monday In the course of
a day or two he will be arraigned be-
fore justice Of the peace and fined.
lhe delay was granted until he could
send to Elk county and procure funds to
straighten out the difficulty.

There continues to be a tendency on
the part Of the intimate friends Of Lewis
Neil, the razor negro, to keep on man.
ufacturing sentiment in his favor. holding
out that he has been unjustly punished.
The old McCary-Hopper fight Of some
twenty years ago has been dug up and
cited as a parallel case. Few Of the
present day ciizens know any Of the
facts connected with that affair and no
two Of those who do. agree on the ex-
tent Of the cutting, but all agree that it
was drunken row and that the wounds
sustained by Hopper were not at all c1iti-
cal. One man was at fault as much as the
other. In that day law was not very Strict
ly observed, anyhow. About the same
time man and his son were murdered
near Eldred and little effort was made to
apprehend and convict the guilty parties.
For aught we know many crimes went
unpunished. but does that furnish On ex-
cuse why bad characters should be
turned loose on the public today2 Does
that license every man to carry a razor
IN his pocket and slash every man who
does not pay him the proper respect, ac-
cordmg to the toter's ideas2 Why so
many tears for this man Neil, what m
terest have the little bunch Of people
who desire HIM freed. what's the cause
Of all this solicitudea Instead Of commis-
seratng the negro. he Is to be congratu-
lated that he escaped with such light
punishment.

John H. Downs Of Sharon township
who is one Of the defendants in the Brown
VS. Brown divorce case, was in the city
last Thursday and Friday. He was
summoned here by Mrs. Browns attor-
neys for the purpose of securing his
deposition. The proceeding was institute
ed before Probate Judge Garrison, but
after few preliminary questions had
been asked and answered the matter
came to close by the courts sustaining
an objection made by Mr.. Downs at
tomey, Samuel Griffin. The reason as
signed by Messrs. Noble and Field.Mrs.
Browns attorneys. for desiring the depo-
sition was, that Mr.. Downs resides a
part Of the time In Grant county and
he might not be present at the trial
Of the case m the district court. Mr..
Downs offered to put up bond for his
appearance but the attorneys did not
press the matter. Judge Ganison held
that masmuch as Mr.. Downs is one Of
the defendants IN the case and is vitality
interested IN it so far as it affects the title
to the former Brown land, the plaintiff
attorneys had no power to compel him
to testify before the time Of the trial
proper. This ended the matter and
there was nothing more dong IN court
that day. The matter viii be presented
to Judge Gillett again on Friday Of this
week.
