WHITE CAP

Old Man Told He

who has had so many troubles OF
his own the past twelve months. has
been served with a White Cap"
notice. and given five days to clear
out. The following gentle missive
was found under his door on arising
last Friday morning:
Williamsburg. Va. July %. 1910.
NJ. Ellwood:
You must leave this town in five
(S) days or hi will be your doom.
You treat your wife cruelty and you
must leave this town forever. We
will see you August 2nd.
(Signed) White Caps"
The notice was printed as a school
boy would print. and was well ex
ecutsd. showing that it was not done
by an ilitterate person. It is a
felony to send such a notice and the
writer knew he was violating the law
when he wrote II. Hence the at
tempt at disguise.
Old man Ellwood is blind in one
eye, the ball having been removed.
He is probably 65 years of age and
feeble. Some years ago when he
came here from Richmond be was
florist at the Marshall cottage. he
lost his position there and soon al
terwards married Miss Fannie Hor-
ton, many years younger than him
self. Everything went along smoota-
ly with the EuwOods for a time
The old man had about $4,000 in
cash and as long as the money last
ed he had the proverbial host of
friends. They hung around him ike
flies around a molasses barrel.
But he began to grow old. His
open-handed hospitality kept up un-
I'll the money was all gone and the
property mortgaged TO the limit.
Then as usual the friends so-called
left. until now they are. as scarce IS
hens teeth. Those who used; to
gather around his sideboard where
the best Of drinkables were served,
no longer feel an interest IN old
man" Ellwood. and few have a
good word to say for him. He is
alone and practically penniless.
Trouble began to brew with the
young wife, who probably has done
as we'll as she could under the cir
cumstances. She is the mother OF
two nice looking little girls. They,
unfortunately. are the ones who will
suffer most by the infelicity of their
parents. The husband declares she
is unfit to care for them, and is anx.

TEN NEGROES KILLED.
Race Riot at Slocum,- Texas, Results
In a Fierce Battle.

Houston, Texas. July S0.-That a
dozen or more negroes have been kill
ed and several white men wounded in
a race riot at Slocum, Anderson coun-
ty, is told in meagre reports received
here today. The adjutant general at
Austin was notified of the trouble and
sent state rangers to the scene and in
a dispatch received this afternoon says
probably further serious trouble will
be avoided. The riot began late yes
terday when James Afford, a white
man, had an alteration with negro
regarding a protested note.
This led to general fight between the
whites and the negroes, in which knives
and pistols were used.
When a semblance of order was restored
ten negroes were found dead and several
more were wounded. 1t is believed others
who were concealed by members of their
race have since died. Three white men,
whose names have not been learned, were
seriously injured.
Many negroes are being arrested.

DANA STOPS LENIENCY.
Abandons Policy of Giving Light
Sentences to Transients.

In sentencing Everett johnson Tor
forgery and Fred Thomas for the theiI
of bicycle to terms in the state penl-
Tertiary at Lansing, Judge A. w. Dana
OF the Shawnee county district cour'
fulfilled his promise made few weeks
ago that he would abandon his former
policy of leniency toward Offenders
who came under his jurisdiction as
transient residents.
Not long ago a half dozen young
men were brought before the court
each entering plea of guilty and ask
ing a light sentence on the ground
that they were young and were oelng
prosecuted for their first serious OF
Tense. In every instance the prisoner
was a stranger to Shawnee county. had
been here but short time before
committing the crime for which he was
prosecuted and the prosecuting attor-
ney was unable to furnish any 1nfor-
nation as to the culprit's previous ms
tory beyond his own statement. Al
that time Judge Dana expressed dis
satisfaction. at the situation.
Johnson came to Topeka from KAN
sas city several months ago ana
promptly got into trouble for passing
bad checks on local business houses.
After his arrest he feigned insanity
and made much trouble in the county
fail while awaiting trial After delay
ing proceedings as much as possible,
obtaining a trial for his sanity, ne
pleaded guilty in the belief that ne
would be sent to the reformatory at
Hutchinson. Instead, he was given an
indeterminate sentence in the peniten-
tiary at Lansing, his imprisonment 10
be from one to five years. according 10
behavior.
Fred Thomas, a tall, aenemic and
not particularly vicious looking youth
was arrested a few days ago for the
theft of a bicycle. which he sold for
Sc a few hours later. He voluntarily
entered his plea of guilty. His SEN
tence to the penitentiary was uneX-
pected by the county attorney.
A third sentence was pronounced IN
the district court. 1t was against
James Sims, negro jointist, whose
case had been appealed from the po--
lice court. Sims had been prosecuted
by both city and county authorities for
the same offense, had gained liberty
under bonds and run away. Being
brought back from Colorado, he plead
ed guilty to both the state charge ana
to the city charge, the latter having
been appealed. Judge Dana gave
sentence of 80 days in jail with fine
of $500 for the state offense several
days ago. Today he fined Sims $1OO
and gave a Jail sentence of 30 days IN
the city prison on the appealed city
case.

Who Wired Topeka Police.

reportorial staff of the New York
American, is visiting in Topeka, the
guest of Max Simon at 1907 West

scription of him, stating that when last

which might have been removed.
There was a furry at police headquar-
tiers for it looked as though some fugi-
tive Wall street operator had taken
refuge in Kansas. Detective E. G.

zle the police. Klein started an inves-
tigation for he had some suspicious of

The newspaper man laughed loud and
long.
Il had a hunch," said he by way of
explanation. "Flahoe is one of my
best friends back there and he told
me he was going to have me watched
for he didn't like to trust me so far
away from home. I'm afraid he has
put up a job on both of us but I'll fix
him a plenty when get back. In the
meanwhile I think we'd better fix up
a three hundred word telegram for
you to send to him, collect, giving him
a full account of what 1 am doing out
here"
The police will also send Mr.. Flahoe
a bill for $40 for automobile hire and
other extras.
