Trap Set by Her NeighbOrs With
Apparent Success.
A. III. T. FATHER PLAN
Family Leave Home But Also
Leave a Detective.
Girl Enters Shed and Carries
Off Much Frnit.

Coffeyville. Sept. 1.-Two girls,
one z and the other 13 years of age,
living five miles northwest of this city,
were arrested and taken to Deering
and arraigned before Justice Austin on
the charge of petty larceny. They
were charged with stealing fruit and
butter from L. w. Kaufman, a neigh
boring farmer. Only the older girl,
Jessie Randall. was held and her trial
was set for September 10. The ar
rest was made by members of the A.
H. T. A. near Deering.
The Kaufman family had been miss
ing fruit and butter from the little
shed at the rear of their home for
several weeks but had been unable to
find out who took it.
Finally suspicion conferred on the
Randall family. Monday. the Kauf-
mans hitched up their team and
drove to town, purposely passing the
Randall home. A member of the
Anti H rse Thief association was left
hiding in the upstairs of the house
in full view of the outbuilding.
Shortly after the Kaufman family
had started for town. the two Randall
girls it is alleged, were seen to come
to the clubhouse door and go In.
Soon, it is alleged, they came out
with canned fruit and butter. In all
they had about 81 worth. The MEM
Der of the Anti Horse Thief associa-
ton in the house came out and
stopped the girls. He took the fruit
and butter from them and allowed
them to go home.
Members of the A. H. T. A. came
to this city and tried to get a war
rant for the girls arrest. They went
to the deputy county attorney and
asked for a burglary warrant, but he
asked them to wait until the county
attorney was in the city. The mat
ter was then taken to Judge Gander.
He also wanted to wait for the county
attorney but finally agreed to get out
a petty larceny warrant He thought
at the time that this would be all the
offense would permit. but has later
discovered he could have drawn a
warrant for third degree burglary.
The Anti-Horse Thief men were not
satisfied with the warrant and would
not take it.
They then went to Deering and got
Judge Austin to issue a warrant

Husband of Woman Placed Parts of

Boston. Sept. 4.-But a few points
in connection with the most horrible
and grewsome murder recorded in the
annals of crime in greater Boston,
that of Mrs. Honora H. Jordan an
actress who was known on the stage
as Irene Shannon, by her husband,
Chester S. Jordan, remained to be
cleared up by the police today. The
confession of the husband to the po-
lice following his arrest after the
accidental discovery of the mutilated
torso of his wife in a trunk, which
ne caused to be placed in a room at
Hancock street, this city, was be-
lieved TO be a substantial recital of
the incidents of the brutal crime. but
several minor details of his confess
sion confiicted with each other and
his story was unconnected in parts.
AS a result of his examination by
the police he disclosed all the ap
parently important facts in connec-
ton with the murder and gave the in
formation which led to the discovery
of the thighs and scalped head of the
murdered woman, the only parts not
contained in the trunk at HIS home in
Somerville. He also gave a plausible
reason, In a remark by his wife
which he says was melted by her be-
lief that he was unfaithful. He said
that following her epithet he struck

Rumor That the Lanyon Zinc Mill and
Smelter Will Open Up.

lola. Kan. Sept. 4.-There is a ru-
NOR that the Lanyon Zinc company
No. 8, which went on dead fire at La
Harpe the other day. will reopen in a
short time and with it the rolling mill
which has been silent for long time.
The Lanyon Zinc company has been
a custom smelter concern for a long
time, that they have been smelling ore
belonging to other people for a GER
tain price like the gold and silver
smelters of the west do, almost ex-
clusively. On September 1 the con-
tract with the American Metal COM
pany of St. Louis, the big house in
the metal trade of the west and one
of the biggest in the country, expired
and it was necessary to shut down in
order to take an invoice and see where
the business stood between the two
corporations. The shutdown at La
Harpe was the result. 1t is said that
employees have been told not to leave
now as it is only a question of a short
time until the smelter will reopen and
business be resumed.
