HE DESERTS HIS WIFE.
A Respectable Couple of Florence
Take the Thorny Path.

Newton. Kan, Aug. S1.-Out of the
arrest here of w. I. Taylor of Flor
ence, Kan, and Miss Nettie Hunter of
the same place, comes the story OF a
broken nome, a deserted wife and chill
oren and a nameleSS babe.
Taylor, has, for the past thirty
years, been resident of Florence. He
was respected, Industrious, frugal.
honest and in all respects was looked
upon as an upright citizen and a de-
voted husband and father. Miss Hun
ter some years ago graduated from the
Florence high school with honor, and
has since been one of Marion county's
prominent teachers.
Something less than a year ago
Taylor's wife was taken SICK and Miss
hunter was brought in to nurse her
and take care of the house. Later the
glfl left and took up her residence in
Denver Shortly thereafter Taylor
followed her deserving his wife and
two children Four months ago a
BABY was born and since then the
couple have been travelling around
from town to town, Taylor following
the ayocation of a travelling man.
In the meantime his brothers, who
are prominent residents of Marion,
had been in communication with him
in an endeaVOr to have him return to
Florence and take UP life again with
his forgiving wife. This he promised
to do and they sent him a considerable
sum of money in order that he might
make the Hunter woman comfortable.
However, instead of using the money
in this manner, and returning to the
family that was only too wiring to
forgive the erring husband and father,
he spent the money for other purposes.
His action incensed the brothers and
when they learned that the couple had
come to Newton they swore out war
rants and caused their arrest.
The baby is delicate little mite and
may not live many months. The
mother is apparently very much de-
voted to it and pleaded with the Off
GERS that she be not sent to jail, where
| she would be separated from the little
one and thus be deprived of the OPP
portunity of caring for 1t ana. II pos
sible. nursing it back to health. Con-
sidering this, and the fact that the
woman seems to be genuinery re-
pentant for her actions and the home
she had broken up, it has been decided
| to permit her to go free. Taylor.
however. has been given a sentence of
six months in the county jail and a
fine of $40 and costs. but an effort will
be made to have him released on
| parole if he will return to Florence
and support his family. Otherwise he
will be compelled to serve out his
| sentence.

OKLAHOMA CITY EXPLOSION.
What a Sporting Writer Had to Say
About Topeka Trouble.

Bunnie Coldren, the sporting editor
of the Daily Oklahoman and former
Washburn student, isn't much of a
stickler for truth, as should be ex-
pected from one who got his first
newspaper experience in Topeka
Some of the dispatches which he sent
to his paper from this city, relative to
the trouble between the Cooleysox
and Nets are hagrantly colored.
Here is Coldren'S story of Fridays
trouble, reproduced in full from the
Daily Oklahoman of Saturday morn
ing:
by grasping his favorite umpire,
Setley, by the throat the psychological
moment today and threatening to bust
his nose if the latter called Jay
Andrews out at third base in the ninth
inning, Richard Occur de Lion
team and made a great stride toward
perfecting his plan to have Topeka
cop the flag.
1.-THE Topeka fans were so en-
Unused by the example of their peer
less leader that one of them thought
to further the good work along by
putting Bill Hoffer out of business for
a couple of hours by hitting him on
the temple with pop bottle.
1T was a very successful day for
the Cooleyites After the trip from
Webb City the Nets were sent in to
though something was going to hap
pen, but started to do their best. De-
spite the fact that Setley held Folbre
to the center of the plate and waist
high for strikes, the young southpaw
squeezed along, allowing but two
scores up to the ninth. The Nets, in
the meantime, had collected five by a
reckless assault upon the offerings of
Hagerman, and the game seemed safe.
But the ninth came along and
trouble came with it. With one out
Davis hit safely. Boles hit to White
for what looked like a double play, but
Love muffed Whites throw. Then
Andrews hit safely and Roles scored,
but Kelsey returned the ball to
third and Everhart caught Andrews by
yard. Setley called him out, but
Cooley would not have 1t that way. He
rushed Setley. and Andrews also
swelled up grandly, and Setley finally
called him safe.
THE Nets raised a terrific kick,
but 1t was useless They at first re-
fused to go back and finish the game,
but finally did so after SetIey had
sent S. Olson to first base on balls
without any being thrown. z. Olson
got a scratch hit over second, and
the Nets walked in while Andrews
and Abbott scored the winning runs.
Figuring that to make an earnest
effort to win was useless, the Nets
played horse for an inning in the sec
and game, when Setley forfeited it to
Topeka, 9 to o. This was followed by
the hitting of Hoffer with a pop bot
tie and more excitement. The man
who threw the pop bottle could not
be found.

ton is nearer a crisis tonight than at

CURTIS AT BELLEVILLE.
Topeka Senator Addresses a Good
Crowd at the Court House.

Belleville. Kan. Aug. Ex-senator
Charles Curtis addressed a good meet
ing at the court house Saturday after
noon. The occasion was the organiza-
ton of a Taft club for Republic coun-
ty The club was organized with a
membership of $50, and it will be ex-
tended to every township in the coun-
ty. Mr.. Curtis, who is very popular IN
Republic county, made good impress
sion in his speech. He dealt largely
with national issues, showing up some
of the inconsistencies of Mr.. Bryan's
position on public questions.

were John NJ. Doyle, president; How
ard G. Zech, secretary.

HEARST MEN WANT TO FUSE.
They Try to Fix Up a Deal With the
Oklahoma PopuliSts.

Oklahoma City, Okla. Aug. 81
Probably $50 delegates of the PopulIst
party attended the state convention
here today John Allen, editor of the
Peoples Call, of Norman, and Populist
leader of this section, presided.
The probability of a fusion with the
independence league is remote, al
though a number of the new Hearst
party representatives including A. W.
Dirfendorfer, of Caddo, national COM
mitteeman, are here and many confer
ences between the leaders Of the two
parties have taken place. Tom Wat
son. candidate for president, was un-
able to attend the convention. He Is
expected to visit Oklahoma some time
in September.

that it is up to them to put the stamp
of disapproval on the tactics adopted
by Manager Cooley and the Nets, who
saw two games stolen outright before
their very eyes are undecided as to
whether they will play tomorrow or let
Cooley take the games by forfeit.
''Bill Hoffer, who wa, knocked sense
less by a popbottle hurled by one OF
Cooley's agents in the grandstand, is
able to be around tonight, but he feels
the effects of his experience. There was
not the slightest provocation for the
cowardly assault on the Nets manager
and no effort was made by the Topeka
players to find Hoffer's assailant.
Cooley laughed at the incident and urg-
ed the grandstand to keep up it's ia
natical attack. Tonight the Nets are
subjected to jeers as they walk along
the street and there is hardly mem
Der of the team who has not been OPP
emily insulted.
Fair minded citizens who take an in
terest in the sport are unanimous in
condemnation of Cooley's actions. The
ruling by Setley was so grossly a steal
that it was grotesque. Not a player on
the Topeka team but what admitted
after the game that Andrews had been
put out at third, but when Cooley rush
ed towards Umpire Setley, swearing
like pirate, the official hastened to re-
verse himself and the Nets were only
defending themselves from the ruthless
attacks of the umpire when they were
assaulted by the spectators.
President Shively is blamed for the
condition of affairs to a very large ex-
tent. All through the season he has
permitted Cooley to bulldoze and brow
beat him and the Topeka manager has
come to feel that he owns the league.
Unless there are some steps taken tow
ards reform the national game has
been killed here and when a team is
afraid to take the field for fear of per-
sonal injury at the hands of the on
lockers it is felt radical action is nee
essary"
