Involves Failure of Contraction Co. to
Complete Agricultural Building.

Suit on the bond of the Blanchard
Construction company which failed to
complete a building at the State Agri-
cultural college for which it had taken
the contract about two years ago, was
begun on behalf of the state of Kansas
by Attorney Fred S. Jackson in the
Shawnee county district court this
morning. The sum sought for recov-
cry is a trif1e more than $4,000. The
Massachusetts Bonding & Insurance
company, which furnished the con-
tractors bond of $24,700, is named as
codefendant. The local agents of
this company are mentioned in the pc
tition as w. G.. McClintock, Cyrus
Guthrie, e. E. Olinger and R. W.
Eaton.
On July 1, 1908, the regents of the
Agricultural college awarded a con-
tract for a building to be used by the
engineering department to the Blanch-
ard Construction company in the sum
of $4,000. According to the petition
the defendant commenced work and
continued until the following winter,
receiving in payments on estimates
furnished by State Architect John F.
Stanton the sum of $14,956.6S. Final
ly, after abandonment of the work the
contract was awarded anew to Henry

amount of the cost of the building to
the state in excess of the figure at
which the contract originally was
awarded.

AUTO SCARES HORSE.
Animal Runs Away Severely Injuring
-5r---7 Enocl1 MARBLE Family ~

A large touring car on a cross coun-
try trip whose occupants are I'M
known caused the serious injury of
several people near the reform school
Sunday forenoon.
Mrs. Enoch B. MARBLE, who lives
near the reform school, accompanied
by her 16-year-old son Herman, q
Thompson, aged Is, niece of Ross
Phillips, a neighbor, were driving a
single horse to a light spring wagon.
They met the automobile which was
east bound and the horse became
frightened and ran away AS it turned
toward the reform school at Soldier
creek, the wagon was overturned, scat
tering the occupants along the road.
Mrs. Marble was severely bruised,
Herman. the son. was unconscious and
covered with blood from a deep cash
in the back of his head, Martha

condition from conclusion of the brain
The younger girl was the least in

AFTER BUCKET SHOPS.
Attorney General Is Planning to
Open His Batteries.

A Hutchinson grain man in To-
peka today was led to talk about the
possibilities of move by the attor-
ney general against the bucket shops
of the state, acting under the provi-
sions of the law passed by the last
legislature forbidding the operation of
these places within the state. Ac-
cording to the visitor. William Muir
head, a special officer in the employ
of the attorney generals Office, was
seen last week at Hutchinson, Wich-
ita, Salina and Concordia in the
places, and it Is believed that he was
gathering evidence against the bucket
shops that are alleged to be in oper-
alton in every one of these cities.
Muirhead. when asked about the
matter today, declined to discuss the
object of his visit to the cities men
toned and would not affirm or deny
the story that he is gathering evidence
against the bucket shop people. But
it is understood that there are some
fourteen or fifteen of these places do
ing business with the lambs contrary
to law and that the hand is preparing
to write their finish on the wall.
The legitimate dealings in the board
of trade at Wichita and other places
has nothing to do with the bucket
shop question. A man can buy wheat
and sell that commodity still and
keep clear of the law, but it is the
man who conducts a place where men
may gamble on the rise and fall OF
the market that is under the ban.
Many business men and clerks are
caught and sheared every month by
the bucket shops. Their margins are
wiped out while they bat their eyes
and wonder how it happened.
Since the law was passed nearly
two years ago there has been no de-
cisive step taken against these places,
but there are now unmistakab1e signs
that the attorney generals Office is
about to take some action. Besides
the places above mentioned, it is I'M
derstpod that there are bucket shops
doing business in Atchison and Leav-
enworth.

KILL THE CAPTAIN.
Conspirators Attempt to Take Posses
sion of Ship.

San Francisco Cal, Aug. 22.-Meager
details have reached this city of a
tragedy early yesterday morning on
board the Alaska Pacific company's
steamship Buchanan when Captain E
B. Wood was shot and killed in his
cainb, in an attempted holdup of the
vessel on the high seas of Eureka His
slayer, Fred Thomas, leaped into the
sea after the failure of an accomplice
in the engine room to join him in taking
mastery of the boat.
An incomplete story of the sensa-
tiona1 attempt at piracy was relayed by
telephone late last night via Eureka
from the wireless station at Table
Bluff, south of Humboldt bay
The Buckman, which was southbounCi
from Seattle to San Francisco, report
ed all well as it passed Cape Blanco on
the southern Oregon coast. The dar-
ing attempt to seize the boat was
made at 2:15 o'clock, when Thomas
| went to Captain Woods cabin and
summoned the latter to the door. The
details of the encounter between the
captain and Thomas have not yet been
learned as Wood was unable to make
a statement after the shooting and the
murderer leaped into the sea imme-
diately afterward. The quartermaster
ran from the bridge to find his superior
officer breathing his last at the door of
the cabin.
Thomas accomplish was overpowered
by the engineers and was put in irons
soon after the shooting of the captain.
The wireless operator was called and
messages flashed to the steamer Presi-
dent. which was northbound, off the
coast of Eureka. The President veered
from it's course to the place where
Thomas had ieaped overheard, but an
hours search left no doubt that the
murderer had sunk into the sea-
The first news of the death of Cap
tain Wood was received by a wireless
message sent to H. F. Alexander of
Seattle, Immediately after the shoot
ing, when it was believed that Thomas
was insane 1t was only by the cap
ture of the accomplice that attempted
robbery was revealed. The Buchanan
