STABBS A WHITE BOY.
Dispute Over Fright of Way Result.
in Injury to Chester Whitcomb.

Because there was not enough room
on the sidewalk Tuesday night for n
white man and colored man to pass,
Chester Whitcomb, a white boy, pushed
Richard Scarse, a colored lad, from the
sidewalk in front of the Cremerie res
taurant. The next minute Scarse came
back with an ugly pocket knife and
stabbed Whitcomb just below the COL
lar bone. The knife made a deep, ugly
wound and severed an artery.
Whitcomb was taken to the office of
DIR. H. H. Keith, county coroner, where
his injuries were dressed. Then he was
taken to his home at 304 Jefferson
street His injuries are quite serious
but will not prove fatal. In the ex-
element Scarse took advantage of an
opportunity to disappear in the crowd
He was not found until early this
morning, when he was arrested and
taken to the police station. He will
probably be turned over to the state
on a charge of assault with intent to
kill. Scarse is now in the city jail.
Both of the young men are said to be
quarrelsome. When they met Tuesday
night, Whitcomb pushed the colored lad
from the sidewalk and a minute later
regretted his hasty action. Whitcomb
is a son of E. o. Whitcomb a Santa Fe
engineer, and lives at 304 Jefferson
street,

young American man out there
thought the thing over a while and
figured that we weren't coming $4,000
miles without carrying the goods on
our clothes. So he took a mess of the
bets. He made an awful killing when
we came back with the animals and
the moving pictures to prove that we'd
done as we said. The Englishmen

HE SETS UP AN ALIBl.
Rapi Denies Completely in the Plots
of the Camorrists.

Viterbo, April 5.-One of the most in.
tereSt1ng characters in the Camorra.
Giovanni Rapi, the supposed treasurer
was heard in his own defense today,
Questioned by President Bianchi, of
the court of the ASSiZes he made a
general denial of completely in the
murder of the Cuoccolos, called atten-
ton to discrepancies in the testimony
of Gennaro Abbatemaggio the inform
err and sought to impress the Jury by
the assertion that having escaped the
jurisdiction of the court he voluntari-
ly returned to stand trial.
Rapi has the bearing of a gentleman
and today he was dressed in the sty-
Iish clothes which he affects. Speak
ing in carefully modulated tone and
with precision, the prisoner betrayed
desire to emphasize his social Sill
periority over the other S5 defend
ants.
By profession Rapi is high class
gambler and has experienced the u.s.

lice, becoming oppressive he went to
Paris and when expelled from the
French capital he set up business in
London, subsequently returning to
Italy with a fat purse, there to go

He founded the Unione Del Mez-
which many of the aristocracy are
said to have contributed their fortune

In his Neapolitan resort, Gennaro
Cuooccolo, the murdered Camorrist, is
asserted to have gathered information
of it's patrons that made the latter vic

ers, politicians and journalists among
hia acquaintance.
AS a young man, Rapi bore an un-
enviable reputation. An incident in
his early career involved a woman

admirer lower in the social scale than
Rapi. This man met a violent DEATH
The authorities questioned Rapi, but
could prove nothing against him.

where he remained until the end of
1902. Then with other foreign gam

prisoner said that not being in Naples
in 1902. it could not be true as Abbat-

ROMINE
ELECTED
To fill, crown or extract
all the sensitive teeth
in Topeka.

At least you would think so by the
number of patients sent to him each
week from other districts throughout
the state.
The Doctor within the past year has
gained quite reputation as painless
dentist, not only among the people but
also his professional brethren.
They have such confidence in his To-
cal anesthetic. AnzOfle, and his ability
to perform dental operations painlessly
that in a good many cases when a pa
tient consults them, that has exceed
ingly sensitive teeth to fill and crown
or teeth that are very difficult to ex-
tract, they advise them to patronize
him.
This certainly is evidence of the fact
that his local anesthetic must be some
thing out of the ordinary, something
better for the painless filling and ex-
tracing of teeth than other dentists
can offer.
And from the crowded condition of
his reception room, people anxiously
waiting their turn, goes to show con-
clusively that people don't want to be
hurt.

G. A. R. is GROWING.
An increase of 13I Members in
Kansas.

Members of the Kansas G. A. r. are
much pleased with the increase of 131
new members of the order in the state
in the last year. The total member
ship now is 1O.373, a little over one
third the number of old soldiers and
sailors in Kansas at this time The
pension office reports show something
over $4,000 as the total number of old
soldiers and sailors living in Kansas
and paid their pensions through the
Topeka agency.
The increase in membership has
come in spite of the great losses by
death in the ranks of the old soldiers.
kansas has not had very large G.. A.
R. membership in recent years. This
has been due to the fact that so many
old soldiers and sailors were farmers
and lived outside the cities where G..
A. r. pests were maintained. The old
soldiers have begun moving to the
cities now, as their children take
Charge of the farms and the old boys
are hnding the meetings and the re-
unions and encampments very enjoy
