THEY HAVE NERVE
Two Men Take Possession of
Neighbours House.
Try to Sell 1t While He Is on
Visit.

lola, Kan, Dec. 30.-In the supreme
nerve contest, Allen county officers
propose the name of Jess Everly and
Frank Bennett, two young men now
in the county Jail awaiting trial on
charges of theft, with every confi-
dence of winning the prize. If there
is a case that will even tie the per-
Torrance of these youthful offenders,
the authorities have not heard of it.
All the details are not in, as yet, but
there is sufficient report at hand to
make out an instance of the most re-
markable brass not easily to be sur
passed.
Not long ago, L. G. Isabel, accord
ing to information furnished the Of
ficers, determined to temporarily close
his home at Humboldt and go to Ok
lahOma on visit He had not been
gone long until two young men, Ben
nett and EVERY, put in an appearance
in Humboldt. declaring they had
SNought the property, home, outfit and

Fz~ad there off the fat of the land.
Try to Sell House.
E@slly, their supply of change grew
low IN money was needed. They
sold ofTsAst is charged, a rocking chair
a rag - some other articles. But
the amossYA. received was small and
additional &enue had to be secured.
In their desiESxation the county attor-
ney charges, snnett and EVerly Of
fered to sell ina house, furnishings
and all. Proper in Humboldt was
moving slow, AowS&sr. and there was
no ready sale for th property.
Undaunted, the tVS young soon
ers'' offered the hous@Afor rent and
soon had a tenant.
Then they heard that 9gabel was
coming back. They deSArted the
claim they had jumped ans fled to
Chanute where they were caprSred by
Sheriff Hoover Kerr and brought to
lola for trial. The case against them
will be based upon evidence in sub

TOWN ROW OPENS AGAIN.
Spring Campaign of Trouble Ready to
Be Started.

Hutchinson, Kan, Dec. 30.-The
spring campaign is starting early at
Turon. And the way it is starting it
is possible that proceedings will be in
stituted in the courts, of some kind or
other.
1t was rumored in court house cir
cles today that enemies of Mayor Joe
TYLER were about to institute custer
proceedings against him; while an
other rumor had it that his friends
were getting ready to do some of the
said ousting against other officials.
Mayor Tyler, who is q prominent
Turon miller. expressed surprise when
asked about it.
ITS the first I have heard of any
custer proceedings" said the mayor.
I'VE have been having some trouble
with the marshal here, and it may be
necessary to remove HIM, but it will
not require any custer proceeding. We
hired him and we can fire him if
necessary.
John Wood. the city marshal, who
is under fire, is charged by enemies
with being too lax in the matter of
local law enforcement.
A rumor which could not be veri-
fed was to the effect that the county
attorneys office was being called into
the case. and proceedings instituted
through the county prosecutor against
delinquent officials at TurOn.

HIS GIFT IS GONE
Kansas Miner at Work Paying
Back Money.
Order for $93 Came to Wrong
Man.

Plttsburg, Kan, Dec. 3O-The SINH
larlty in the names of Antonio Guer-
rlarl, an Italian living near Chicopee
aud Antoine Guerin, who lives neaI
Yale, caused the former to lose tenn
porarlly $93 and the latter to be rich
er by that amount, until it was found
Wnere The money went. Now the lat
ter IS paying back to the pOstOffice
authorities SO per month ard retain
! ing the privilege of freedom 1t hap
pened because an envelope containing
a money order came to him through
the mail.
Antoine Guerin lives on rural route
number 8, near Yale. One morning he
opened his mail box and locked at the
address It was not written perfectly
and he thought the envelope bore his
name. The envelope contained the
money order for 500 and he was per
picked.
At Yale he asked his friends what
ne should do They, too, thought the
envelope bore his name. He told them
he had once expected a registered let
ter which did not arrive. No doubt, he
was assured, the money order was re-
compensation for the loss of the regis
tered letter. He KEEP the money order
until near Christmas. Then the Christ
mas spirit seized him and he spent the
money He did good job in spending
and 1t wasn't long until the mysterious
gift was gone.
In the meantime Antonio Guerriari
Of near Chicopee, had been expecting
a money order from Italy 1t didn't
arrive and after weeks of patient wait
ing he went to the postoffice authOri-
ties. They bad the record of the mon
ey order and thought that he had re-
ceived the money. His friends said he
was an honest man and reliable Then
the authorities began to look for the
man who had the money. One day
AntCne Guerin sent in for a money
order. The money order clerk at the
pcstoffice saw the writing and repnen-
bered what had become of the missing
money order.
PostofTice Inspector L. c. Chance
confronted Guerin with the charge of
forgery. why, yes, took the money!
Mr.. Guerin said, "and l thought it was
mine. I kept it fer months and no
one came after it. My friends said it
was mine and 1 believed it was mine
and 1 spent it,
An examination of the signature of
Guerin on the records showed that he
writes it much like Antoine Guerriari,
so nearly like it that a microscopic ex-
animation scarcely succeeds IN estah-
fishing the difference. Still there is
enough difference to protect Guerin
from forgery, or at least cause Off
GERS to believe that he is telling the
truth.
Yes. I'll pay Guerin told the Of
hcers, land I'll give you SO a month
from my wages. All the money I got

MILLER AFTER WILD HORSES.
"ZeISe' Wants to Buy Government
OUTLAWS at Fort

Junction City, Kan. Dec. so
''Zeke" Miller, a member of the firm
Of Miller Brothers, owners of the 1O1
ranch near Bliss, Okla. has been in
the city for the past two days attend
ing the big horse sale at Fort Riley.
Mr.. Miller tried to get together a car
load Of real outlaw horses, to be used
in the wild west show.
The Miller boys are perhaps one of
the best known families in the west.
A few years ago they were young cat
tlemen down in the Cherokee strip,
and they had the foresight to gather
together all of the cheap Indian lands
they could secure. For a number of
years they leased from the govern
ment the greater part of the Cherokee
strip and when it was offered for sale
they bought. They then went after
the Ponce reservation and by buying
in small lots from prices ranging from
$40 to $50 per acre they now control
over 10000 acres.

NEW DEPARTMENT AT X. S. A. I
Son of Dover Man Declines Good
Salary.

Manhattan. Kan, Dec 30.-A new
department has just been created at
the Kansas State Agricultural college
and this is the poultry husbandry de-
partment. Prof. William a. Lippen-
colt. formerly of the Iowa State Agri-
cultural college is the new professor.
This new department was created by
Dean Webster and was more of a ne
cessity than a change. Heretofore the
poultry department has not been a
separate department but came under
the head of the dairy department; this
did not prove satisfactory No expert
ments were conducted and the depart
ment went along by itself and nothing
much of Importance was accom-
plished.

X S. A. c. needs this new separate
department and with proper appro-
priations there is no need why it can
not be made one of the strongest de-
partnents of the Agricultural college.
The demand today is strong along the

HE REGAINs HIS SPEECH.
After Being Mute for Weeks Robbers
Victim Speaks.

Hutchinson, Kan, Dec. 30.-After
being the same as a deaf mute for
over nine weeks, Lorin Bates broke his
long silence.
Bates is the young man who was
found bound and badly beaten in an
unconscious state in South Hutchinson
near the Methodist church on the
night of October 20.
He was taken to his home that
night by the police after being brought
to the police station by persons who
found him lying by the roadside
From that time on he was unable to
speak a syllable and he could not hear
a thunderclap.
Ihen Bates MADE the discovery that
he could talk, and since that time he
has almost fully regained the use Of
his voice. His voice is not quite as
strong as before he was injured, but
he can now talk as well as he could
before he was hurt. He can not hear.

Buck" O'Brien Held Athletics
During Pennant Race.
New York Passes Up Denver
Star i'm 1909.

| If Buck O'Brien had been a member
of the New York Giants last fall would
the Athletics have COPIED world
honors? No one need answer Still,
Buck took a long railroad ride, drop
ped into the Quaker city and stood the
| Mackmen on their heads. He had
something on them that day All of
which leads the Denver Times to COM
ment at length on the fact that the
mist Ortune of the Giants may have
been due to the mistakes of a scout.
O'Brien was twirling for Waterbury
two years ago with a tailend team and
he shut out the Hartford nine, allow
ing two hits. The scout reported that
the young fellow didn't show Moth

indications do not fail will be one of
the stars of the national pastime this

Pueblo Star-Journal: The scribes
around the circuit, evidently not ia
miliar with the conditions in this city
are determined to sell the local fran
chise to some other party. The st.
Joseph News-Press in commenting
upon the fact that Tom Fairweather
intended to invest in another Western
league franchise. makes the assertion
that it will be either Pueblo or Lin
coin This makes just about the
twenty-ffth time that the local club
has been for sale, according to the
scribes around the circuit, since the
recent season came to a close. We
venture the prediction that Frank
Isbell would not part with the local
franchise for its par value at the pres
ent time if the offer was made and
we doubt seriously if an offer has
been made for the franchise since the
team was transferred to this city. Like
Denver. ST. Joseph and other paying
clubs in the league. there are lot
of magnates who would like to own
the Pueblo franchise, but IsbeH stated
before he left at the close of the sea-
son, that the local club was not for
sale and he repeated that assertion in
a letter received in this city not
week ago. When the time for the
opening of the Western league comes
around, the fans will find Pueblo
ready with a team, certain to prove a
contender for the pennant all the way
to the finish. Not only will Isbell be
back as the owner of the Pueblo fran
chise, but he will strengthen the team
in one or two places and make it as
strong as any team in the league. All
of this talk about the Pueblo franchise
being for sale is pure rot. The other
seven clubs in the league will know
only too well that she is still in the
league when the race gets well under
way.

DIES, SAVES BOY
Mother Freezing, Wraps Child
in Her Cloak.
Sinks to Fatal Sleep When He
Is Exhausted.

Fowler, Kan., Dec. 30.-After an all
night search in a binding snow storm,
amounting almost to a blizzard, w d.
Milton found The body OF mis- wife
buried in the snow near this place.
Clinging to her breast was her 5-year-
old son. The boy was partly protected
from the cold by his mothers body and
was still alive. He may recover.
Mrs. Milton taught school at St. ia =
cOb's Well. 10 miles from Minneola.
She started home with her son in a
buggy about 4:30 o'clock Wednesday. 1t
had beer showing nearly all day and
the road was blocked with drifts in
many places. making progress Prac-
tically impossible.
The mother evidently decided to try to
reach home by walking across fields,
and, taking her son with her, deserted
the horse and buggy. Although her
home Is only two and a half miles from
The school, the body was found four
and a half miles northeast, showing
that She had lost her way in the dark
ness, wandering in a circle in two feet
of snow.
She had been dead several hours
when the body was found and must
have wandered throughout most of the
night In the cold and snow before she
stumbled and fell exhausted from ex-
posture, to die with her body and wraps
protecting her little boy as much as
possible.
Husband Begins Search.
When the wife did not return home
at the usual time the husband became
worried and later set out to search
for her. He visited the school first and
found that she had left there. He then
started searching along the road lead
ing from the little country school to
their home.
Soon he came upon the horse and
buggy, the animal almost frozen. Guess
ing that his wife had found the road
impossible and had abandoned the
buggy, deciding to take a short cut
across country, Milton set out in the
direction of his home in the hope of
Overtaki1s her But he arrived there
without finding her and the boy and
after calling several neighbors to his
aid, again resumed the search in the
storm.
The hunt continued throughout the
night. the husband and his frienus
tramping miles through the drifts and
fields. But their efforts met with no
success until daylight came, when the
body was found far from the road and
almost covered with snow.
Boy Tells of Tramp.
After being carried TO mis- home and
partially revived the little boy was able
to tell of the wanderings of his moth
er in the storm. which ended when she
could drag herself no farther. Part of
the time she carried her son ard part
of the time ne stumbled along after her,
his hand clasped tight in hers. Finally
the boy was unable to travel longer in
the snow, which reached his arm pits
in places and the mother, unable to
carry him, sank down and put her
cloak around him.
1t was perhaps due to the fact that
her last thoughts were of her son that
he also was not frozen. The extreme
cold soon caused the boy to fall asleep.
The last he remembers was his mother
calling for help.
