USED A CLUB.
Police Have Lively Time in Raiding
Joint.


A jug party at Nate Williams place
at First and Madison streets was in
terrupted by the police this morning,
but not until James Downey, one Of
the jewellers, had his head laid open
by club, and the contents of the jug
mad ebbed to the last gurgle. After
Downey had been disposed of by the
simple and effective remedy of brute
force, all because he had presumed to
dispute some statement maintained by
the other two members Of the party,
the revel was resumed. Downey stag
gered down to the corner of First and
Maids on streets leaving trail of blood
behind him. He was an awful looking
sight, soaked in gore from head to
foot. A shopkeeper turned in the riot
call for the police and Chief Eaton and
Detective Hutton responded. They
picked up Downey who led them to
Williams place where the jug party
was still in full force and effect. Will
liamS and a man named John Allen
were arrested along with Downey and
taken to the station. Judge Urmy will
take hand in the game this evening.
John Dupree, a negro, was arrested

A CATTLE CHUTE.
Question of Building One at
High School.
Board Leaves Question Without
Definite Action.

The matter of constructing fire
escapes for the school buildings of To-
peka and connecting the high school
and manual training buildings with
steel viaduct bobbed up at the meeting
of the school board last night as it
has done at every previous meeting for
months The building committee
chairman announced that the order for
fire escapes had been placed for the
Lincoln school and that the work OF
building them will commence immed-
lately.
There seems to be about as many
opinions about connecting the two
Topeka avenue school buildings as
there are members of the board ana
several of the members of the board
are not in favor of anything of the
kind. Plans were submitted last night
for the construction of run way OF
steel with a wooden floor but not en-
closed. Just how this will protect the
pupils from drafts and exposure is
more than the ordinary mortal can see
inasmuch as the structure Will be ele-
waited twenty feet from the ground.
Another plan is to have similar
structure constructed of wood and steel
enclosed with a roof and sides. The
latter plan was submitted by ]. G. Hol-
land while the first plan was pro-
posed by a Kansas City firm. The estl-
mated cost of either structure is be-
tween five and six thousand dollars
with the possibility that the cost Will
exceed even the highest estimate
The structure, according to the plans
submitted is to be 179 feet in length
and of three spans. The shorter span
on each end to reach from the school
buildings to the curb line and larger
arch to connect across Eighth avenue.
BY way of encouraging the board
the Sorosis club adopted resolutions al
their meeting last week heartily ap-
proving of the construction of a via
duct of any kind so it is viaduct and
this resolution was read at the meeting
last night
Upon the request of the surety COM
pany which furnishes the bond for the
treasurer an investigation of the &C
counts of this official will be made by
the finance committee which was en-
powered to hire an expert If they
deem such course necessary.
C. C. Kutz. member of the board
from the First ward, suggested that 1t
the unsightly excavation left by the re-
moval of the old Quincy school build
ing in North Topeka. A discussion of
this subject developed the fact that the
school board may not own the lots on
which the old building was located.
1t is claimed that this property was
deed tot the school board to be used
for a school building and that it is to
revert to the heirs of the original own
err as soon as it is not so occupied.
This phase of the proposition is new
to most of the members of the school
board and will be investigated before
another meeting is held.
The Walnut Grove Tennis club
wants the use of the vacant lots at the
