MRS. DALTON IS HERE
She Visits Her Son at the Hospital
Today.


Mrs. Angelina Dalton, mother of
Emmett Dalton, arrived in the city
this morning from Kingfsher, Okla
homa, and will remain at the BEDSIDE
of her son, who is recovering from an
operation at Bethesda hospital, until
he is able to be up and about unless
called home to the bedside of a grand
son who makes his home with her and
has. been ailing for some time.
Mrs. Dalton is a motherly woman
we'll past sixty years Of age, well
educated and refined and with soft
low voice that bespeaks the sorrows OF
her life. Il has been through her de-
votion to her son that he secured the
parole which has given him a chance
to save his injured arm and may per-
haps result in a permanent parole in
time.
ooh, 1t seems so good" she said,
'to be with my boy once more and
that outside of the prison walls and
oh how I do long to take him home
with me, for he has always been my
baby though he not my youngest
child. remember him best as he
was when boy before all of this
trouble came to us and the time he
has been away seems a dark blank.
when I saw him last at Lansing
and looked back as was leaving the
prison. I thought to myself that per-
haps the next time l would see him
that it would be somewhere else, and
dence has willed that my desire should
come true. 1t seems to me that he
has been sufficiently punished. but I
suppose that all mothers would feel
that way towards their boy.
HE has always been the pride of
my heart and it was he who always
looked after me when he was at home.
Others might for moment forget
their mother but it was never so with
Emmett for when / was left alone he
see xx-sf II Fr1,- Fa1F
that would be lonesome. Every one
has been SO kind to US all and when
the news reached our town that
Emmett had been released for this
operation it seems that every one
knew it Immediately and rushed over
to tell me the good news.
81 want to stay here with my boy
for this is the first time I have seen
him for nearly fifteen years when I
could feel that we were both free to
do and say what we pleased, and it is
such a good feeling. I may be called
home at any time on account of illness
there. but I will come back to my
boy" she continued as she stroked his
forehead and smoothed his hair af-
feetionately.
IT never will be able to express my
thanks to the friends who have been
so good to me and borne with me so
kindly for I feel that I must some
times bore them. I have made no
plans for the future but I will stay
with Emmett until his arm is we'll
and then perhaps something will hap
pen that will make me the happiest
woman in the world
Emmett Dalton is able to sit
propped up in his bed today and his
arm is not paining him as intensely
as it has since the operation and he
is hopeful that he will be permitted to
walk about the hospital by the last of
next week. AS he sat on the side OF
the bed listening to his mother talk
he would deprecate her remarks as
TO his kindness to her and now and
then a tear would find its way to the
corner of his eye as she told of his
childish pranks-

sCooPED UP FISH IN HANDS.
Men and Boys Gather Fish In Quanti-
ties From Shtlnganunga.

One of the biggest fish stories that
has ever been told in Topeka comes
from Chris Roof, who keeps a gro
Gerry store at 500 East Eighth street.
Yesterday about the middle of the
forenoon a number of fish were seen
putting their heads above the water
in the Shunganunga creek near his
store. He spoke about it to the boys
there and they went fishing. Big
BOYS, little boys, men, and kids, just
rolled up their trousers and waded
into the creek, bent on business. They
dipped up fish in their hats, their
hands, in baskets and in improvised
SENS made out of gunnysacks and in
pals Any old thing that could hold
fish was brought into use.
1t did not take long to get all the
people in the neighborhood to come
down to see the fun. They carried
the fish away on strings. Each one
had as many as he thought he could
take care of. Mr.. Roof phoned to Mr..
Klingaman, Mr. Chesney. and a few
others and they went down. They all
son.
Tt is interesting to note the reasons
that are given by some OF those who
saw the fish, for their presence in
such quantities at a place that has
never had many before. Some said
that the fish were dropped there the
night before when the storm passed
over. Still others say that the storm
took them from M. A. Lows pond and
wfirled them through the clouds I'M
til 1t had dropped them into the creek
up stream and they came down. 1t
has been definitely ascertained, how

T. T. KELLY SUES COUNTY.
Wants to Recover Money Paid Back to
Make Good Shortage.

Paoia. Kan, jury 1.-THE Republican
says:
This week Thomas T. Kelly, by his
attorney, L. s. Harvey. brought an ac-
ton against the board of county COM
missioners Of Miami county, asking for
an accounting and for the recovery OF
1924. with interest which he paid into
the county treasury five years ago, this
being the sum then found by the county
board that Mr.. Kelly owed the county
as the result Of the unlawful appropri-
alton by him OF funds when he was
county clerk.
In his petition, which is of great
length, Mr.. Kelly recites that the board
made pretended Investigation, that
they have refused to make a full and
impartial investigation, that the in
Vestigation was made in his absence,
he had no notice of it and no oppor-
tunity was given him to examine the
report; that all books, records, etc, will
show that the plaintiff is not and never
has been at any time indebted to the
county, etc.
This reopening of this unsavory mat
ter is a surprise to Mr.. Kelly's friends,
as well as to his enemies, in view of
the findings made against him and the
manner in which they were made. The
people of Miami county have confidence
in the honesty and integrity OF Capt
Reuben Smith, Thomas Crawford and
Richard Hampson. the members of the
beard, who made this investigation, and
have absolute knowledge that it was
not ''pretended'' nor a partial in
vestigation, but that it was fair, open
and honest and was SO far short of
finding all that was on the records
against Mr.. Kelly that he was glad to
settle with them and get out of 1t SO
lightly. He ought to be satisfied, but II
he wants to test it before a Miami
county jury, the courts are open to
him.

den OF whatever comes out of it.

w. T. CALVIN is HURT.
Tried to Jump From Runaway Vehicle
and Has Fractured Skull.

Trying to jump out of a runaway
accident, w. I. Calvin of 307 Polk
street is badly injured and may die.
The accident occurred yesterday af-
ternoon while Mr.. Calvin was driving
a horse on Madison street between
Third and Fourth. The horse which
he was driving to cart became
frightened at a dog which ran out at
the horse while driving south on Madi-
son street and started to run away. Mr..
Calvin tried to stop the horse but it
made matters worse as the cart was in
this way pulled right up against the
horse. In order to escape Mr.. Calvin
stood up on the seat of the cart and
attempted to jump out the back end.
In doing this his head struck the
pavement and was fractured and he
received several scalp wounds in adj
dition to having his hands and arm
badly lacerated on the curbstone.

There seems to be a large number
of colds in the city for this time of the
year. The hot weather does not seem
to make much difference with it eth

throat and bronchial tubes and causes
a good deal of hoarseness and some
coughing. No fever accompanies the
cold, and very little discomfort is no.

usual accompaniment of hay fever.
