FORGERY AND SUICIDE
Seventeen Year Old Roy Myers Took Car
boIic Acid After Being Arrested

bollc Acid After Being Arrested
Last week Roy Myers, a seventeen year
old boy, passed check for $500 at the
Bee Hive Store, and smother for a sum
a little larger at the Bargain store Ia this
city, and after getting a part of the
amounts In change left for Pratt, where
there was fair going on. The checks
were both worthless, and this fact was
soon learned. Saturday, on instructions
from the sheriff of this county, the boy
was arrested at Pratt, to be held until
an officer from Dodge City could 20
after him. After being put in isil the
boy committed suicide by taking corbolIc
acid which he had In his possession when
arrested, and which he had taken into
the Jail with him. The body was shipped
here for burial. The parents of the
Myers boy live In Dodge City. They
were living In the Adam Schmidt house
on Railroad avenue at the time that II
was burned down few months ago.
There seems no way to explain the boys
actions, either In bis passing the checks,
'r In his taking his own life later He
Vas known at the stores where he passed
he checks, and mus. have known that be
would be arrested later. The sum that
le received was so small that the money
'ould not have been any temptation to
lin. And from the fact that he had
oison with him he must have expec ted
be arrested, and planned In advance to
Dmmt suicide after his arrest.

applicants for admittsnce to the schools
In communica to this paper
Snpt. Mallory says: "The schools vii
probably be very full this fall but We
believed that with the present number
of teachers we can accommodate all bui
it is very likely that some who enter
late may have to 20 TO building thai
is not so convenient. The prospects now
are that grades seven and eight al
Third ward will be filed the first day
bat there will be plenty of room at
Second ward in each of those grades.
Grades, one, two and three at Second
ward will probably be oyercrowded at
once but there may be room to spaie at
Third ward in these grades. | believe
all who enter at first can be accom-
lnodated in the building nearest their
home those who come later must be
satisfied with the best we can do for
them.
We are pretty we'll pleased with what
was accomplished last year in the
schools and we have reason to expect
better results this year. Though we
have lost some excellent teachers the
board has endeavored to replace them
with as good as their money could get
There is no question of the scholarship
of the new teachers and their recon.
mendations show that their experience
elsewhere has been very satisfactory.
Our High school ls now ranked with
the fully accredited high schools of the
state SO that our graduates may now
enter the University of Kansas without
entrance examination. We are also
given credit for advance work in other
institutions, such as at the |
State Normal and the Agricultural |
College, In either of which our work in
certain lines Is given credit toward grad
lation from those schools. | think

KANSAS CITY PESSIMISTIC.
Hard Times Have Been Seriously
Felt There, Says Herman Harms.

City Chemist Herman Harms re-
turned yesterday from a trip to Kansas
City, where he was called as an expert
witness in an important water suit. In
view of the fact that the litigants are
possessed of ample means with which
TO employ experts from any section of
the country, it is pleasant to record
the fact that a Utah man was chosen,
But Mr.. Harms friends will be unan;-
nous i'm the opinion that no better ex-
pert than he is could have been found.
Mr.. Harms was away from Salt Lake
City just week. He found the peo-
pie of Kansas City rather pessimistic
regarding the future. Many of them
believe that the depressed conditions
through which they are passing will
continue indefinitely. THE hard times
have not been felt in this section of the
country nearly as much as in the terri
tory around Kansas City" said Mr..
Harms. We really don't know what
hard times are out here, comparative
ly speaking.

the Jubilee saloon; James McGivern, bar
tender at the Continental saloon, and Mrs.
Sadie Belcher.
As John owen. the chief witness for
the prosecution, is a convict, and can be
found at any time during the next tWen-
" years at the state penitenuary, il was
not necessary to take steps to prevent
his disappearance before the day of the
trial.
The Belchers and McGivern are being
held under $1,000 bail each for their ap-
pearance as witnesses in the case against
Sullivan. As they have been unable to
find bondsmen, all three are being held
in the county jail. They will be kept in
confinement until the day of the trial
if their efforts to find bondsmen con-
tinue to be fruitiess.
Like the Belchers. McGivern is suspec-
ted OF knowing more about Garcia. Sui
liVan and Owen than he has told. Nc
Givern lived in the old Kimball house on
North Main street, occupying quarters
near the rooms of the Belchers. 1t is
believed that MCGiVeTn may have met
Garcia while the half-breed porch climber
was being kept in hiding by the Belch-
ers. This suppOsitiOn is based upon the
fact that Belcher and McGivern not only
occupied quarters in the same house, but
were bartenders in the resorts which were
faVOTite haunts of Garcia, Sullivan and
Owen. McGivern was locked in the coun-
" jail few days before the pTelimi-
nary hearing of Joe Sullivan. At the
time it was feared that he would leave
town. After the hearing this uncertainty
McGiveTn's desire to serve the
prosecution caused the steps to be taken
to place him under $1,000 bail
BelcheT and his wife were similarly
treated. 1t was believed that their con-
nection with Garcia would make them
unwilling to appear at the murder trial.
As the trial has been set for March g.
this means that the Belchers and Nc
Givern will have 10 spend more than a
month in the county jail, as the au-
thorities do not believe that any of them
can furnish bail
John Owen. the convict whose testi-
mony is expected to send Sullivan to
the eXecuuoner. is being kept i'm solitary
at the state penitentiary
He is being kept from the other crimi-
nails as a precaution against intimida-
ton or violence from criminals whose
sympathies are with Sullivan

SULLIVAN KEEPS
NERVE IN COURT
Appears UnConcerned in En-
tering His Plea of Not
Guilty.
TRIAL SET FOR MARCH 9
PRISONER GUARDED BY THREE
ALERT DEPUTIES.
TRIAL SET FOR MARCH 9

Without the slightest show of emo
ton, Joe Sullivan, the alleged slayer of
Patrolman Charles Ford. pleaded Not
guilty to murder in the first degree
before Judge Armstrong yesterday
morning. After some preliminary re-
marks by f. E. Vickery. representing
the defense, and District Attorney
Frederick c. Loofbourow, Judge Arm
strong set the trial for Monday, March
Sullivan was brought into court
few moments before 10 o'clock by Dep
uty SheTiffs Sharp. Sperry and Smith.
lie WAS securely handcuffed, but the
leg irons which ne wore on his previ-
Gus trip had been left off, the sheriff
thinking that they were not needed
when the prisoner was with three dep
uties.
When the time came for Sullivan to
enter his plea the handouts were re-
moved, and he stood before the judge
in an easy and composed manner He
was attired in a neat blue suit, a soft
shirt and a red necktie.
You have been charged, Mr.. Suli-
Van.' said Judge Armstrong, with
nun der i'm the first degree, and the time
has now come for you TO enter your
plea. Are you guilty or not guilty?'
Not guilty" responded Sullivan, in
d low tone.
Judge Armstrong is very polite to
prisoners except when he sentences
them. He always calls them Mr., -
and he did not vary his rule with Sui
Ivan.
F. e. Vickery. for the defense, stated
to the court that il was his desire to
have the case so over the term. He
stated that Sullivan had influential
friends in the east, and that they would
do anything possible for him.
I'VE need time to prepare our case"
he stated, land 1 do not think it is fair
to set the case at any early date. This
man is a stranger in this country and
is charged with the most serious Of
Tense known TO law. In fairness to
him, his attorneys should be given suf-
ficient time to prepare a defense and
communicate with his relatives and
friends"
Judge Armstrong stated that it was
impossible to put the case over the
term as the state has several witnesses
in jail, and that il would be unfair to |
keep them there longer than necessary. |
He, however, agreed to make the date |
March 9, instead OF March 2, the time |
agreed upon last Saturday.
