making a noise like an ocean liner,
DR.. and Mrs. Wild Bear Linn, couple
of Indian newly weds, went sailing up
Kansas avenue last night. The couple
was followed by any number of sight
seeing yachts and not until the squad
ron had reached Fifth. and Kansas
avenue did the police tug boats ar
rive and take the windy liner to the
Eaton lighthouse.
DR.. Linn has been a life saver but a
short time. He lives near Holton and
was launched but a short time ago
at the University medical college
dock Departing from the usual Gus
tom a bottle of whisky was broken
over his head and he came to Topeka
only to find landing at the Eaton light
house. He ran up against some OF the
rocks in the Bottoms and was towed
to Eaton. When he was released and
repaired he sailed back to his tribe
and spent few weeks there IN the lie
saving business. Here he met the
beautiful Indian maid Moheta Yohash.
The two embarked in the same boat
AID combining their sheet yards they
left for Holton and last evening the
2-knot boats were tied.
After such an occasion there was
nothing to do but lift up their
anchors and head for Topeka, which
is one of the best "old Port" towns
on the map When the couple arrived
in the city they forgot to reduce their
capacity and change into gondola.
Instead they increased everything and
took on one of the heaviest loads ever
held by an Indian. With such a load
Il was impossible to hug the shore and
they found ii necessary to get in the
middle of deep water-good old KAN
sas avenue. When the police tugs had
towed the couple to the Eaton tower
they were brought before Chief En-
gineer of Disabled High Rollers s. S.
TJrmy and he placed the cost of re-
pair at twenty dollars. Unable to raise
the necessary funds the boat Newly

dock and is high and dry today.
Two old men 20 years old were
arrested this morning for picking up
coal down near the foot of Jackson
had no bad intentions and promised to
return the coal if they could be re-
leased from fine and Imprisonment.
Judge Urmy allowed them their re-
quest and they left happy.
Indians are the hardest prisoners
captured to search when they are
brought to the station. They have any
number of hidden pockets and t1e
women especially are clever in dis
police can make thorough investiga-
ton. Last night an Indian was ar
rested and when searched not cent
could be found on him. Later 1t was
found that he had stuffed two five dol
lar bills and two silver dollars in his
mouth. An Indian has such a mushy
name that it is impossible to tell
whether they have their mouth full or
whether 1t IS natural.
Fred Stotts, a laundryman, was ar
rested last night for being unable TO
manipulate his happy wheels to the
satisfacton OF the pedestrians and
his neighbors. He was too noisy
about HIS campaign >Avorite and filing
up on whisky he Lost control of his
carriage. He sa' 4 that when Bryan
was elected everybody could have
some of the happiness of life-in
other words, beer and whisky.
Tearing through the two Jail doors
vaulting the empty beer cases and
diving through the high wooden fence
surrounding the jail yard, Early Car
per escaped from the police last night
and was not caught until he was in
the act of boarding a train in North
Topeka Earl had been arrested for
being disorderly and probably drunk
but when he was carried to the police
station he seemed very anxious to use
the phone and have his fine ready for
the next morning. The jailer allowed
him this privilege and when he
thought he had a good chance he
dashed down the receiver, made a
break for the door and flew the
coop" 1t was dark and very few off,
GERS were around the station but Ser
geant Ross suspected that the colored
man would make for his happy home
IN North Topeka and he "sleuthed"
over there. The Union Pacific was
