HERMIT is DEAD.
VIM. Pruseit, Shawnee Pioneer.
Dies Alone in Hut,
Had Amassed Much Property
But Lived Life OF MiSer.

William Pruseit, a German. living
on the lower Silver Lake road, five
miles northwest of Topeka, was found
dead this morning in his bed, when
neighbOrs entered the home after not
seeing Pruseit for several days. The
man was 81 years old and had lived a
secluded life since coming to Kansas
in the early sixties. Pruseit was new
er married and so far as is known has
no relatives living in the United States.
He was among the early settlers in
Shawnee county and built a small
hovellike home near the banks of the
river, where he had lived almost the
life of a hermit. Purseit had prosper
ed in Kansas and owned considerable
property. Two years ago he sold his
farm, reserving the right to live in the
little house until his death. The money
received from the sale of the land and
the profits from his years of work on
the farm are drawing interest on gilt
edge real estate loans and Pruseit has
lived a miserable existence.
Old age, exposure and lack of proper
care are attributed as the causes of
the old Germans death by Coroner H.
H. Keith. who visited the house to-
day.
Pruseit was known in the district
in which he lived as Dutch Billy"
His administrator, VIM. L. Ost, a
neighbor, has taken charge of the
body. which is in Hawley & Steele's
undertaking rooms. The funeral will
be held at the undertaking rooms
Friday afternoon at 2:2O o'clock.

Fixed at $4,000.
Valves Preliminary and Is Sent
to Jail.

Jackson Wright, the slayer of Mrs.
Martha A. Boyer, waived preliminary
examination in Judge Simon's court
this morning and was bound over for
trial in the district court. His bond
was fixed at $4,000.
Wright appeared in court a few
minutes after o'clock He calmly
walked past the railing and took the
same seat he occupied at the coro-
ner's inquest. Several motions were
heard in minor cases before the
Wright case was called. The MUIR
derer showed a lively interest in these
proceedings and watched every move
of the lawyers and judge. Legal terms
especially seemed to impress the man.
When Judge Simon asked Wright if
he desired to waive the preliminary
hearing, the defendant said he did not
know just what he wanted to do.
Have you an Attorney" asked the
judge.
mo. I haven't any money to hire
one
well, if you desire to waive this
hearing and have no money when the
case comes to trial in the district
court, the higher court will appoint
an attorney for you. However, you
may do as you choose

her fncapability of understanding
what she was doing secured her sigma

division of property it is alleged were
made which she could not possibly

Mrs. Jane Sayles Fails in Third At
tempt to Commit Suicide.

Dependency over the desertion OF
her husband caused Mrs. Jane Sayles
Thursday night to make the third at
tempt to commit suicide, when she took
four eight grain morphine tablets IN
her room in a Van Buren, street board
ing house. Although Sayles left his wife
a year ago, the woman says she has
frequently furnished him money and
has also provided for bright-faced
little girl who came to the Sayles home
four years ago.

tempted suicide while employed as a
waitress in the Cremerie restaurant.
She left the restaurant and worked IN
the Harvey house, where the second at
tempt was made a week ago. Her
third unsuccessful trial at taking her
life was made last night.
According to Mrs. Sayles, her nus
band sings illustrated songs for mo-
ton picture shows and draws pay
check large enough to provide for the
family. A year ago he left her and the
little girl without means of support.

New York, Nov. 3.-The movement
for a settlement of the strike of ex-
press company drivers and helpers
which has practically tied UP express
business in and around New York city
for a week, took more definite form
today with the announcement that rep
resentatives of the companies would
meet representatives of the men this
afternoon. Indications were that each
side would enter the conference with
willingness to concede something
and prospects for a settlement, possibly
before nightfall, looked bright.
. Pending the proposed meeting this
afternoon no developments were look
ed for in the arbitration proposition
made by the men through the National
Civic federation and Mayor Gaynor.
One of the smaller companies in
voIved in the strike, the Monahan Ex-
press company, settled its differences
with it's employees, twenty in number,
today.
1t was given out after the conference
between Frank H. Platt and Mayor
Gaynor that committees from the men
of the various companies would confer
with their company officials separately
late this afternoon.
