ing NE assured the judge that it
was the first time he had ever been
drunk. ''I live at Walter and had
been to Manhattan, Kan. on a visit
and was returning home with Mr. Bol
Ter, the chief Of police in Ottawa, who
was on the way to his claim in Co

office and then to the toilet room and

Chief Goodwin had met Erwin and
the Kansas chief about four o'clock
and he says Erwin was perfectly So
ber at that time. Other officers, how
ever, saw him later in the joints. Of
ficer Thomas said negro came up
to him and told him that Erwin's
friends had his money and were leav-
ing on the train. Whether his friends
or the two convivial strangers or the
negro got the money it was imposs-
ible to tell.

/ LITTLE CHILD HAS
A HARROW ESCAPE

Master Daniel, Jr., the five year
old son Of Mr.. and Mrs, Dan Cowan,
End. and Florida, narrowly escaped
being killed yesterday while play
ing with his older brother. The two
children were chopping wood in inn
itation Of their father, and the older
boy, in giving the ak heavy swing,
lost control Of it, hitting little Daniel
in the back Of the head. A cash over
two inches long was made, but the
bone was not touched and it is be-
lieyed that the results will not be se-
rious. If the boy had been strong
enough to send the ak fraction Of an
inch deeper the child would probably
have been killed.
