CRUDE CHECK FORGER

The new police patrol is coming
and it will not be long before a bot
tie of something best will be broken
over its side. The pipe dream f1oated
by one of the Topeka councilmen and
heralded with such humorous glee
by the rest of the council has been
broken and the real common sense
hoodlum wagon will be soon running
on the streets of Topeka. No motor
or air ship connections with this
wagon, but just big modern sub
stantiaI patrol with all of the latest
applianceS-those that are safe and
reliable and not under test.
T. F. Lannan, the wagon maker has
the contract for the new police patrol
and he left for Denver, Colo, and sew
eral other cities today where he will
make a thorough inspection of the
patrols used by the police depart
ments in the large cities.
However the plans suggested by
Chief of Police Eaton and adopted by
the city council call for certain parts
of the wagon and the new ideas OBJ
tanned by the contractor will be pro-
posed before the chief. The wagon
will be of the miniature Jail type. 1t
now in use with a wheel base over two
feet longer. Also a large steel
screened curtained top will be an
addition. With the patrol now in use
IL is necessary 10 SEND a man or TWO
with every call to bring the prisoners
to the station. This necessitateS a
number of officers in the station all
the time and without them the wagon
cannot make trip. The proposed
wagon will be enclosed with a door
patrOlman on the beat will load the
prisoner in the wagon and closing the
door he will be able to stay on his
beat and continue his duties as be-
rn1 ~ iey w
man necessary for the transfer of the
prisoner from the patrolman to the
station. If a rather ObstreperouS
prisoner is in the wagon cage the cur
tains can be dropped and the gazes
of the inquiSitive will be shut off. In
many cases some of the "bloods'' of
the town have asked that they might
lie down in the wagon in order that
their arrest might not be known.
In short the routine of a patrol call
will be-telephone to the station,
alarm to the driver. hitching of the
team by TRUSTEES receiving of or
ders at Jail office, drive to call, load
ing of prisoners by patrolmen, con-
trolling of cage door by driver, drive
back to station, sounding Of gong,
prisoner in charge by the jailer and
the wagon enters the barn. At the
present time two or three men have to
be called to go with the wagon and
sometimes it takes all their force to
hold him in and much time and labor
is lost.
When this new patrol is finished and
a few improvements are made around
the office, the Topeka police equip
ment will be the best for a city of its
size in the country.

ALIBI DIDN'T GO.
George Hicks Held for Being Too
Handy With Gun.

George Hicks, the pink negro ac-
cused of holding up a deputy game
warden who attempted to arrest him,
was given preliminary hearing in
the court of Topeka today, and despite
a fatfooted denial of guilt under oath,
and the testimony of his witnesses
who attempted to establish an alibi for
the accused was bound over to stand
trial in district court. The charge
against Hicks is, that on the first sun
day in November, he was hunting on
a farm four miles south of the city,
and that when arrested for the Of
Tense by W. J. Jones, deputy game
warden, he pointed his shotgun at the
breast of the officer, drew revolver
with the other hand and pointed it
It a farmer who was with Jones, and
said; at guess 1 won't go with you and
am liable to pull the trigger" or
words to that effect. He easily pluH-
ed the farmer officer, and went his
way. 1t was over this case that Jones.
the deputy, and a neighbor named
Quail, became incensed to such a de-
gree that they attempted to tell cam
paign story against Sheriff Wflkerson,
capture the negro, on the afternoon
before election. The newspapers
recognized the significance of the Wild
story, and refused to print the de-
case were that the deputy and his
friends called on the sheriff at a late
hour Sunday evening, and without
even the name of the criminal. insist
ed that he go forth and search North
Topeka for light colored negro with
a shotgun. Wilkerson told them to
get a warrant from the county attor-
ney. The county attorney told them
to wait until the next day, which in
censed them at both the sheriff and
county attorney.
In the hearing today. Hicks was
positively identified by the farmers
who had been held up John Miller,
a well known negro who works prin-
cipally at politics, was the star wit
ness. He swore that he was "gwine
down de street. when he met a man
what says, gimme de makins of a
cigarette, en- den he looks at his watch
en- sys, it's a quatah to TO-. En- den
went on home, en- dere was Mistah
Hicks-right dere in his yawd."
This was supposed to be real alibi.
It was about 4 o'clock. four miles
from town, that Hicks held up the
deputy and his agricultural friend. The
court seemed to have very little faith
in the alibi, and ruled accordingly.

CONDITION IS SERIOUS.
Bradley, the Boston Heavyweight,
Was Badly Hurt in Fight.

Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. 24.-Fred
Bradley, the Boston heavyweight
pugilist, who was seriously injured in
a savage bout at the West End Ath-
letic club here last night with AL
Kubiak, known as the Michigan giant,
is still in a critical condition. He is
suffering from conclusion of the brain
and a possible fracture of the skull.
His recovery is doubtful. All the
principals in the affair were arraigned
today. Kubiak was committed to the
county prison, without bail to await
the outcome of Bradley's injuries, and
Philadelphia Jack O'Brien, the ref
cree of the bout; John Kelly, mana
ger of Kubiak; "JimH Daily, manager
for Bradley and Stephen O'Hara, Ku
biak's seconds, were held in $500 each
which was furnished by O'Brien.
In the fight last night Bradley was
beaten from the Start. He was
1oored twice in the third round, the
bell saving him from being knocked
out. In the fourth he came up very
weak and Kubiak went at him fu-
riously. Bradley protected his face,
but was badly punished about the
body. Suddenly Kubiak sent his right
fist flush against his opponents jaw
and the Bostonian went down in a
heap and was waved to his corner by
the referee. Later he became uncon-
scious and is still in that condition.

The immense sale of Cooper's medi-

On Monday Cooper's headquarters was
packed with people all day waiting to
talk with the young man or his as
sistants.
In speaking of his success in New
York, Cooper said: 'It is this way

today have been sent by friends who
are taking the medicine. More people
are now calling to thank me for the
relief my treatment has brought them
than I have time to talk with. What
could I say that would compare with
this?"
The following is a sample of what
people say who as Cooper stated are
now coming in numbers to thank him:
