ALL IDLE RUMORS
Reports of Great Fires On Sunday
Morning Without Foundation

The great pail Of smoke which hung
over Kenosha on Sunday on account of
fires in the northern part of the state
and the western part of the county,
gave rise to many rumors in regard to
great fire in the western part of the
county. Early Sunday morning there
was persistent rumor on the streets
that the village of Bristol mad been
completely destroyed by grass fire,
but this was early denied by residents
of bristol Then the story was cir
culated that it was the village of Salem
and not Bristol that had burned, but
this was also found to be without
foundation Before the day was over
every town in the county had been
burned up according to reports, but the
best information is that there was moth.
ing but small grass fire near the vii.
lage of Trevor and no serious damage
was done by this fire.

BUsHMAN NOT INCLUDED
Kenosha Prisoner in Racine Jail Not
Included in Proposed Jail Delivery


There was little excitement in po-
lice circles in Kenosha Saturday after
noon when it was learned that an eff
fort had been made for a general de-
livery of all the prisoners at the Ra-
cine county jail. Two of the prisoners
had planned to slug the turnkey and
secure the keys and release the other
prisoners: Henry Bushman is on the
second floor of the Racine jail and it
was feared that he would have been
liberated. The scheme was blocked by
the Watchfulness of the turnkey. The
prisoners stated that they had been dis
covered that Bushman had not been in
Guided in the plan and that he would
not have been liberated even if the
prisoners had succeeded in over coming
the turnkey and getting possession of
the keys.

Around Wichita the Freight
Manager Says It's O. X.

Wichita, Kan, April 21.-The Eagle
says:
A real bumper wheat crop without a
car shortage is the prediction and
words of assurance given the farmers
of Kansas by K. M. Wharry, general
freight and traffic manager of the
Missouri Pacific system, with offices
in Kansas City, who was in Wichita
yesterday. Mr.. Wharry has been out
over the wheat section of Kansas for
several days and the statements made
by him. come after a strict personal
observation and a general knowledge
of what he is talking about.
The purpose of Mr.. Wharry's visit to
this section was to secure an idea of
the probable amount of the wheat crop
this year and to make arrangements
in advance for the transportation or
the grain. He said:
The prospect of the wheat crop for
the farmers of Kansas is truly hatter-
ing. My trip has included nearly
ever section of the wheat growing dis
tricts of Kansas and have found con-
ditions good everywhere. Not only is
the acreage heavy, but the young
VIII eat is looking extremely well. While
it will make the railroads struggle to
keep enough cars in the district, they
are all in condition to accomplish the
work at present and with few more
others, there will be suffieieney of
cars in the field to allay all feelings of
doubt along this line"
Mr.. Wharry was accompanied by E.
F. Kearney, superintendent of trans
portation of the Missouri Pacific lines,
with headquarters in St. Louis. The
trip was made in Mr.. Wharry's private
car During their stop in Wichita
they were the guests of A. H. Webb,
superintendent, 8. H. Kilgore, COM
mercial agent of the Missouri Pacific,
and Delos Woods. They were the
guests of the Commercial club at lunch
hour. During the afternoon the two
visitors were given an automobile ride
over the city. Speaking of Wichita,
Mr.. Wharry said: .-
1.-THE last time was in Wichita, this
city was just recuperating from the col
lapse of the boom. There has been a
change in conditions since that time.
You have city that is beautiful in
every respect. I am more than sur
prised at the change for the better that
has tranSpired in Wichita"
A. H. Webb. superintendent of the
local division of the Missouri Pacific,
accompanied Mr.. Wharry as far as
Fort Scott. on his return to a Kansas
City Mr.. Kearney stopped off in
Wichita until the O'Clock train last
evening.

are mighty fast. but I think we can
beat Griff1th's bunch. Any left-hander
could beat the St Louis Browns the

ing season. and McAleer's men may
give the rest some trouble. The
Athletics do not seem to have
strengthened as much as some OF the
other teams.
Washington has a shifty team and
