DANGEROUS W|RING
To BE MADE sAsE
Washington Ward Reported to
Have Dangerous Electrical
Systems.
MANY CHANGES MADE
Seek to Remove Poles and Wires
on Business Streets for Sake
Of Traffic.

The report of the electrical inspec-
tors sent over to the Southside to look
into conditions shows according to
City Electrician William Fl. Thompson,
that practically all the public wiring
in Washington ward and a large pro-
portion of the private lighting systems
will have to be torn out, as the sys-
TENS are Inefficient contrary to the
regulations OF the electrical code. and
seriously endanger the safety of the
buildings In which they are located.
AS soon as true conditions were made
known. Mr.. Thompson sent over a
force OF men, who Immediately re-
wired the Washington ward fire engine
house. which the city electrician de-
clared might have been burnt down
any minutes by the defective system.
Changes Being Made.
A whole corps of skilled workmen is
nox on the Southside making the nee
essary changes. They report that a
number of different systems are IN use,
m;Ay of which are defective. They
hay1 discovered, they declare, several
systems hitherto unknown to- them, and
not to be found in any of the authori-
ties on electric wiring.
They have been rnystified by these,
but have been instructed to pull them
out, as some OF the live wires are ex-
posed In such a manner that the build
fngs served are in danger of taking
fire.
The expense of rerwtring the public
buildings will. OF course, be borne by
the city. A number OF private resi-
dences will have to be re-wired. how
ever, and while Electrician Thompson
is anxious to have this work done as
soon as possible, he is moving slowly
in this direction. as he does not wish TO
impose any more expense and hard
ship than is absolutely necessary.

but It IS sure to be paid for. PrOba-

LEOPARD WAS ONLY A WOLF
Missouri Girls Description Of Scrub
Animal Causes Neighborhood
Army to Kill It.

Kansas City, MOTOR few days
Kansas City supposed that 1t was be"
ing terrorized by ferocious leopard.
but it turned out to be only scrub
gray wolf. good deal more fright
ened than frightful.
It's identification and extinction were
brought about by 20 men armed with
a great assortment Of weapons and
about a thousand humans bearing no
arms but making much noise.
1t was after several chickens and
dogs had met untimely ends that lit
tie girl ran upon the wolf in one Of
Kansas City's famous ravines. 1t
snapped at her, by way of informing
her that it wished her to go away.
She went home and told her mother
that a terrible animal had attacked
her. The neigEbors were called in
and from the description Of the beast
gwen by the little girl it was conclud.
ed that 1t was probably an icthyosau'
rus or maybe worse. 1t was finally
identified as a leopard. A hunt was or.
ganized and everybody in the Holly
street neighborhood took part.
They made SO much fuss about 1t
that the wolf came out OF hiding to
see what the trouble was. The 1920
took after him and he ran up on the
roof Of Joseph Carey's house. The 20
fired a volley and the thousand shout
ed, and the wolf died. 1t may have
been the bullets and it may have been
the noise that was fatal.
