MIR. SHANfLEFFLER IS HERE.
Right of Way Agent for Taylor Rail
road Ready for Work.

w. F. Shamleff1er. general right-of-
way agent for the Topeka-Southwest
ern railway company, arrived in Topeka
last Thursday and Immediately enter
ed upon the duties of his new office.
Mr. Taylor, president of the South
western said today: 81 have turned all
right-of-way matters over to Mr.
Shamlef11er, and it is up to him to Sc
cure it upon reasonable and most ami
cable terms. Mr.. Shamleff1er and Mr..
Parkhurst, chief engineer, spent most
of the day yesterday looking over the
location for terminals and different
routes out of the city
Mr.. Shamleff1er says: 1--WE do not
want any condemnation proceedings if
1t can be avoided and it will be remark
able If the Southwestern gets its right
of-way out of Topeka and across Mis-
sion township, without any such pro-
ceedings. I propose to look the situa-
ton over carefully with the engineer
before beginning the location of the
line. so as to avoid entanglements as
much as possible, which is necessary in
a case of this kind SO that the engineer
ing corps on construction will have
clear sailing with the end in view of the
shortest route and the general best in
terests of the company and the people
along the line"

GREEN SELECTS NAMES
New Jury List Is Made Up by Mayor
Personally.

Conforming with the order issued
ten Gays ago by Judge Dana of the
district court. the trustees of all the
townships in the county and William
Green, mayor of Topeka, visited the
county clerks office at various times
during the day and selected from the
assessment rolls for the year 1906 the
names of persons to be put in the new
jury box and from which jurors will
be drawn to serve in the district court
for the September term of this year
and for the January and April terms
of next year.
The names in the jury box which
was made up for this year were order
ed destroyed by Judge Dana for the
great majority of them had not been
selected properly. The names put in
the box from Topeka were selected by
S. G. Zimmerman. the county clerk,
and from the assessment rolls of 1907,
when the law is distinct that they
should have been selected in person
by Mayor Green and from the assess
ment rolls of 1906. Mr.. Green dele
gated the power to select them to Mr..
Zimmerman, but the court declared
that he had no right to do so. Mr..
Green did the work of selecting the
new list of names, as ordered by the
court, during the afternoon. 1t was
no small task as he had to select about
nine hundred names from the assess
ment rolls. The jury box is filled with
at least one name for every fifty per-
sons on the assessment rolls.
Inc tOWHSnlp trustees Iudue thSlI
selections during the day and their
tasks were not particularly onerous
as they did not have many names to
select to make up the quota from the
townships is demanded by law. The
trustees who obeyed the mandate of
the court today are:
Fred Ludington of Oakland; A. B.
Jameson of Rossville; T. G. Howell of
Silver Lake; D. F. Neiswander of
Menoken; A. c. Merritt of Soldier; T.
F. Kreipe of Tecumseh; N. l.. Tevis
of Monmouth; c. W. Smith of Will
Transport; H. w. Mauney OF Auburn;
E. L. Campbell of Dover and Franklin

WARRANT FOR A GIRL.
Eva Shearer Charged With Stealing
Property From C. t. Harris.

A warrant was issued today for the
arrest of Eva Shearer. a young woman
about 20 years old. on the complaint of
c. T. Harris. the proprietor of the Kiehl
laundry, that she stole some jewelry,
clothing and a small sum of money
which was the property of his wife and
the total value Of which is placed at
s4O.15.
The Shearer girl was employed tenn
porarily as a servant in the Harris home
at Van Buren, and Eleventh streets. Mr..
and Mrs. Harris told her on Sunday af-
ternoon last that they were going to
the park for the afternoon and that she
could have the afternoon and evening
to herself as the work in the house was
done.
The girl sat around the house while
the HAIRLESS were getting ready to go
out, saying that she did not care to go
out because it was so warm. She asked
them several times when they expected
to return and was told that no time had
been fixed for their coming back
Mr.. and Mrs. Harris remained at the
park during the early hours of the ev-
ening and on reaching home retired
without taking the trouble to find out
whether or not the girl was in the
house. The next morning they discov-
cred that she had not been in the house
all night. Mrs. Harris then found that
the drawers in a couple of dressers had
been ransacked and a considerable
quantity of fine clothing as well as a
gold bracelet and $3.50 in money had
been stolen.
Mr.. Harris Immediately made a com
plant to the sheriff with the result
that the warrant was issued today for
the arrest of the girl. The sheriff has
located her at Osawatomie and expects
to place her under arrest this afternoon.
