RAN AWAY.
Will Kirk Said to Have Left His Wife $500 And Run Away With Ss .OOO
 Of Her Money.

We are in receipt of d newspaper clipping from d Oklahoma paper. which states in substance that Will Kirk, formerly citizen of this city, had recently brought his wife to Oklahoma where they could be with her daughter, Mrs Fred kleiber, and that he had left her check for $500 and skipped out with about S8,000 of her money, leaving note saying that he had gone for good and that she need not look for him. that if he did well he would send her some money this fall and see that she did not suf- fer want. It also stated that war rant had been issued for his arrest but the officers had no clew to his where abouts.
 All this seems very strange to us. Mr. Kirk was in Forest City last week gave us pleasant call, paid sl 90 for subscription to Tbe Times up to next June. and said he was going back to Brownsville to straighten up some af- fairs there, and would later let us know where to send his paper.
 He appeared in bad health, but otherwise as usual, and no indications that he was attempting to conceal his whereabouts.

Patent to Keep Down Trolley.

Dr. L. NJ. Perkins Of Tacoma,
Wash, formerly of Pennington, has
invented and patented device to elm
mate the trouble arising from broken
trolley poles and span wires and to
prevent the trolley wheel from getting
off the wires aud allowing the pole to
fly up. The device is known as u
"pncumatic trolley pole retriever, y
and has been practically tested on n
Seattle electric car line and found TO
be satisfactory in every way. The
Tacoma Daily News, in speaking of
DR.. Perkins invention, says that a
large public service corporation in New
Jersey is negotiating with him for the
right to use it, and that street car men
express the belief that II will only DO a
few years before the device will be in
use on every trolley car in the country.
DIR. Perkins has always manifested an
inventive turn of mind, and his old
friends here congratulate him on his
success,
