The editor of this paper has receiv
ed so much praise and encouragement
from every source over his poetic eff
fusion in a recent issue of the Sun,
that he has determined to brave the
anger and ridicule of his better half,
biting and woundiug as it is, and give
his poetic fancy wings. How's this,

BOOZE UNDER FLOOR.
CoffeyviIIe JOintist Tried That Hiding
Place without Success.


CoffeyviIle. Kan, Nov. 24--W. A
Burton. whose place was raided by
chief KIoehr and Officer Smith Fri
dav afternoon, was turned over to
Sheriff Love Friday evening and he
vas taken to the county jail.
Chief Kloehr said this morning that
several complaints had been made
against this place but up to this time
the police had never been able to
catch Burton Friday when the Off
GERS appeared at Burton's place he
told them that there was no booze
there The officers asked him if he
had any objections to their looking
around a little and he told them to go
ahead but it would do no good as there
was nothing there.
While the three of them were in the
kitchen, the chief talked with Burton
while officer Smith began his search.
The kitchen table was pulled out from
the wall and a trap door was uncoV-
cred. Opening this Smith found a
little place packed with cotton batting
and empty. By lying down, however,
and reaching back, his hand came in
contact with pint bottle of booze.
Smith tried it again and fifteen times
his efforts were rewarded with a pint.
BY this time Burton was doing some
fast talking and wanted to know if
there was not some way he could
'ssuuare" it with the chief. Mr.. Kloehr
told him sure he could square it by
lust keeping still and going to Jail.
Burton didn't like this way of squar-
ing the matter but went anyhow and
he is now in Independence waiting to
see the judge.

judge as he stroked his thinkdome.
1T say this is not right at an,'' con-
tinued Mrs. Cavenaugh and went into
exclamations. hyperbole and dramatic
climax.
There was no silence. everybody talk
ed at once. 1t seems that for some time
a. Miss Mabel Cavenaugh had received
the attentions of the young man and
that they were engaged to be married
but either the young man got the
daughters mixed or the daughters got
the young man mixed so when it came
time to go to the proper authorities the
young man got the wrong girl.
But which was the wrong girl? Miss
Ivy Cavanaugh claims a pre-empted
homestead right and Miss Mabel thinks
possession is nine points of the law,
etc. The former has employed an at
torney and arguments before and be-
hind. Judge Supple waxed both ways
until after 8 o'clock.
Previous to the entrance of the young
couple Judge Supplies phone rang and
in answering it he was advised to go
out of the marriage license Sel1ng buS-
mess for a short period to hold up an
expectant couple. He had hardly put
up the receiver until in stepped the
couple and up drove hack in great
haste. The foregoing was taking place
at press time.
At o'clock this afternoon. Mabel
Cavanaugh was still closeted with her
lawyer and it is evident that no fur
ther developments would occur until
after press time. Mabel Cavanaugh's
&c a having
been married and now has a divorce
suit pending.
Frank Lenz the young man in the
case, is a Salina resident and boards
at the Weaver House. Ninth and Elm
streets.
Neither of the girls or Lenz would
make any statement. Mrs. Cavanaugh
cried most of the time she was in court.
From fragmentary statements, 1t was
cleaned that the couple stole march
and that Mabel previously had no idea
that Lenz had transferred his love to
her sister, Miss Ivy.

MURDER MYSTERY.
Arkansas City Gets in the Limelight
With an "Exhume the Body Case.

With an "Exhume the Body Case.
Arkansas City, Kan, Nov. 24-Coron-
er H. w. Marsh, of Winfield, telephon-
ed to Kirkpatrick & Shaffer this after
noon that parties had reached Winfield
today, who were inQuiring about the
dead man, who was found in Missouri
Marsh further stated in his conversa-
tion over the telephone that he intend
ed to reopen the case and hold an in
Vestigation and that he and the inquir-
ing parties would be here on the after
noon train, at which time the body of the
stranger will be exhumed. The coroner
did not state who the parties were but
it is presumed that they are looking
for some lost relative and have an idea
that the man murdered here is the per-
son for whom they are searching.
The stranger, it will be remembered,
who was said to be a cripple, was never
identified.
At the time the decomposed body was
found, the back of the mans head had
been crushed with some heavy instru-
ment and his pockets had been rifled.
1t was the general supposition that the
man had been murdered for his money.
All efforts on the part of the local Off
GERS failed in attempting to find a clue
that would lead to the identity of the
stranger, although several clues were
run down. The verdict of the coroners S
Jury was that the stranger came to his
death by parties unknown to the jury.
This murder mystery may yet be clear
ed up or at least the unfortunate man
may be identified by his friends or rel
atiVes whichever they may be.

GAS FOR FARMERS
Along Right of Way of Big Pipe
Line,

Emporia, Kan, Nov. 24.-Farmers
along the route of the natural gas line
will be supplied with gas. This state
ment was made to reporter for the
Gazette by George w. Shaw, manager
of the company. Mr.. Shaw says the
company will accommodate all con-
sumers who meet the line. The com
pany will tap the line, while all that
will be required of the farmers will
be that they meet the pipe line with a
private line.
The reducing station. which will re-
duce the pressure SO that the gas can
be received by the Emporia plant, will
be placed as far west as the Colonel
David Taylor place. This will allow
a large number of consumers outside
the city limits to get on the line after
the pressure has been reduced. Con-
sumers on the other side of the reduc-
ing station will furnish their own reg
ulators These are inexpensive, and can
be bought from $3.50 to So. A one
inch line will supply a number of
houses in a neighborhood. While taps
will be made after the gas is turned
into the pipe line. Mr.. Shaw says farm
ers wanting gas should make their pre-
parations now, SO that the line can be
tapped before the ditch is covered and
the pressure is turned on.

HE OUT HER HEAD OFF.
Carona, Kan, Man Used Razor With
Awful Results.

Pittsburg. Kan. Nov. 24.-Follow-
ing a neighborhood quarrel at Carona,
twenty miles south of here, Hezekiah
Stradler, a carpenter, aged 20 years,
slashed Mrs. Butts. his next door
neighbor. with a razor, cutting her
head entirely off. The murdered wo-
man was housekeeper for Stradler,s
cousin, who lived next door to him.
Trouble started between Stradler's
wife and Mrs. Butts, following an old
neighborhood feud.
The men folks it seems, had not
been paying much attention to the
trouble between the two women but
when the trouble broke out again and
angry words were hurled across the
back yard fence, the Butts woman is
said to have picked up a brick and
hurled it at Mrs. Stradler, cutting a
cash in her mouth. Mr.. Stradler is
then said to have taken a hand, and;
getting his razor, started after the
Butts woman. One slash of the razor
was sufficient and the head of Mrs
Butts was slashed off clean at the
shoulders. When the body of the
murdered woman fell bleeding at his
feet, Stradler hurled the razor to the
ground and bade his wife notify the
officers. to whom he gave himself up

PACIFIC IS PROUD.
Would Climb From Last to First Place
With Kansas Railroads.

Ottawa, Kan, Nov. 24.-That the
Missouri Pacific railway has decided
to enlarge its line to a full double
track system from Kansas City to
Pueblo, is the positive announcement
given out by superintendent J. E.
Snedeker, in an interview in Ottawa.
Construction of the additional track
will probably be commenced next
year. The double tracking of this
line, he said, is a part of an improve
ment plan under which the Missouri
Pacific has determined upon the ex-
penditure of 10 million dollars per
year for ten years, in the permanent
improvement of the system. A line
now under construction between
Ogden and San Francisco will be
finished next year, giving the Missouri
Pacific a direct line to the coast. A
number of new through trains, accord
ing to superintendent Snedeker, will
be put on through Kansas-when the
Ogden-San Francisco line is finished.
