MAYBRAY CASE OPENS.
Eight of the Twelve Jurors in the
Box Are Farmers.

Council Bluffs, Ia, March 10.-The
trial of j. G. Maybray, and seventeen
of his alleged confederates, on charge
of wholesale swindling by means of
fake sporting contests was begun be-
fore Judge Smith Mcpherson in the
federal court here today.
Ed Mccoy, Thomas Gay, Fred Null
and George R. Morrison, other sup
posed members of the band, also
were arraigned today. It is said Gay
will give evidence for the government.
John r. Dobbins one of the men
under indictment will not be tried at
this time because of his appeal from
the judgment of the state court
which is now pending. Dobbins was
convicted some months ago on the
charge of conspiring to rob T. w.
Ballow, a Princeton, Mo-, banker of
5000 in one of the swindles charged
against the defendants.
The case of Benjamin Marks, who
is ill, was continued until the next
term of the court. Out of the first
IL men called to the jury box, eight
were farmers.
A jury was secured before the noon
adjournment.
The questioning of prospective jur-
ors disclosed the fact that several of
them had been talked to- by men
who claimed to have been victims of
the defendants and Judge McPher-
son ordered the United States marshal
to take steps to bring before the court
the guilty persons.
Statements to the jury began at the
afternoon session.

IMPROVES ITS PLANT.
Topeka Edison Company to Spend One
Hundred Thousand Dollars.

The Topeka Edison company has
begun a large number of improvements
on their plant, between Seventh and
Eighth on Van Buren,, the cost of
which will amount TO over 100000.
Probably the largest amount OF
money will be spent H. the altering OF
the fuel. In past years the Edison
people have Deen burning coal. They
are now placing in the ground just
north of the plant. two mammoth
storage tanks, holding $4,000 gallons
of crude oil. Crude oil will be burned
in the future instead of coal.
L. E. Myers, president OF the Edison
company, said this afternoon that the
company didn't expect to save any
money by their change from coal to
crude oil, but in adopting the new
method it would save them the trouble
of storing coal.
Companies using a large amount Of
coal have to figure on coal strike
about every two years and they find it
necessary to store coal in case such a
strike would happen. The Edison peo-
pie have 1000 tons of coal stored at
this time. They use about 100 tons a
day in their furnaces. Mr.. Myers
stated that they could never tell when
the coal supply would run out. Crude
oil was more dependable.
THE street cars. the electric lighting,
and the motor service as well as con-
siderable heat over the city depends
upon our service at the plant said Mr..
Myers. IF our coal should run short
thousands Of people would be incon-
venienced and we can't afford to place
the city in danger"
In making this big change it is nee
essary for the company to take out all
of the expensive automatic stokers and
chain CRATES that have been in opera
tion here. Under this system it was

WIDOW SAYS SHE WAS ROBBED

Mrs Adelina May Sharp, widow of
David Sharp, a farmer who became in
sane and killed himself in the padded
cell of the county Jail month ago,
today preferred charges of larceny
against Homer and Myrtle Cunning
ham, who she alleges stole household
articles from her home.
Following the death of ner hus-
band, Mrs. Sharp, with her four small
children, rented a house at 119 Crane
street from the defendants and moved
to the city. While she was out at
work she alleges the owners of the
house carried away four lace curtains,
two bed spreads, two pot covers, six
pans, five plates, three saucers two
skillets. a meat grinder and other
articles.
The widow appeared at the court
house this afternoon to make her COM

SAVED INDIANS LIFE.
John Cudahy Was Hero in Ponca Tribe
Two Years Ago.

Guthrie, Okla, March 1o-John
Cudahy of Kansas City, in the limelight
because of his trouble with J. s. Lillis,
was the hero of a thrilling episode on
the 101 ranch in Oklahoma two years
ago, when he saved the life of Chief
Horse Eagle of the Ponca Indian tribe
Following this he was in bed several
days with two ribs fractured and his
face and scalp lacerated. For his re-
covery the Poncas performed a dance
appealing to the Great Father. The
Indians lighted fires and the tribal
medicine men led the dance.
Cudahy went to the 101 ranch late in
January, two years ago. to spend sew
eral weeks He spent most of the
time on horseback, and it was while on
a gallop that he rescued the chief of
the Poncas. A coat of ice covered the
streams for several miles. He followed
the Salt Fork, a tributary to the Ar
kansas river, when a turn brought him
upon Chief Horse Eagle and his pony,
struggling in a gap of open water, the
ice having broken under the weight as
they were attempting to cross. Cudahy
sprang from his horse and hastened to
Horse Eagles assistance.

SEEK FUNDS FOR ROAD.
Gulf & Northwestern Wants Right to
Issue Bonds.

Directors Of the Gulf & Northwestern
Railroad company have applied to the
state railroad board for permission to
issue bonds in the sum of $3.50, 600 to
build this road from Sterling Col, to
Oklahoma City. The proposed road win
run through the western tier of Kan
sas counties now without railroad ia
cilities.
These counties have issued bonds in
the shape of bonus for the new road
as follows: Cheyenne. $134 900; Sher-
$4,000; Hamilton, $4,000; Stanton, $55, :
600; Morton, $4,000: Stevens, $50 600.
The ranchers OF Sherman county sub
scribed $4,000 in addition to the $2O.-
900 raised by the county. The new road

possible for wagon to unload coal in
the alley behind the plant and 1t would
not have to be handled until it came
out in ashes and cinders in the same
alleys. The automatic stokers did away
with firemen and extra handling of coal.
It is estimated by the officials of the
company that it costs about $4,000 to
make this change. The old system cost
$50, 900 and the new crude oil CRATES will
cost about SIS 900.
The Edison people are also replacing
considerable belt machinery in the plant
with an up-to-date 1880 horse power
turbine. This Improvement, together
with the extension of the lines over the
city is estimated as an expenditure OF
over 800 OOO
