WANTS A DIVORCE
Husband Believes Drowning at
Kansas City Was ElOpement.
Suit Filed for Separation Follow
ing Wffe's Disappearance.
TELEGRAPHER NAMED.
Hutchinson Man Concludes His
Wife Wanted a Change.
Described Her as "29 Years Old,
Dark Haired and Pretty

Hutchinson, Kan, July 27.-Joseph K.
HUMPHREYS has filed suit for divorce
from his wife who was supposed to be
drowned either in the Blue or Missouri
rivers at Kansas City two weeks ago.
In his petition HUMPHREYS says that
It is his belief that his wife sent him Il
fake telegram saying she mad been
drowned and that she is not dead, but
is with W. r. Vance, who formerly was
a telegraph operator in Hutchinson.
Absent since June ri.
Mrs Joseph T.. HUMPHREYS left
Hutchinson about June p, informing
her husband that, after a few days
visit with friends in Kansas City she
would go to Boomer, Mo, to visit her
parents and join her 7-year-old son.
Humphries received three letters from
his wife dated from Kansas City, the
last of which informed him that she,
Mrs. HUMPHREYS, had met billie and
Miss Ware" and that they were boating
and fishing on the Missouri river.
A telegram was received by c. A.
Reed Of Boomer, Mo, father of Mrs
Humphries, July 5, signed Miss
Ware" which said:
Mrs HUMPHREYS was drowned while
boating. Impossible to recover body"
Miss Ware" failed to notify the
drowned woman's husband or the Kan
deducting that Mr.. Reed would notify
Humphries, which he did. Humphries
and Mr.. Reed went at once to Kansas
City.
HUMPHREYS believed his wife had met
with an accident, but didn't believe the
upset boat theory. Mr.. Reed also didn't
take much stock in the drowning story.
The police department didn't take
much stock in either theory and the
police believed if they could find Miss
Ware" they would find Mrs. HUMPHREYS
and billie" at the same place. Hum
phries said his wife had met Billie
once before in Denver.
Seen in Kansas City.
Two days after the reported drowning
of Mrs. HUMPHREYS, a woman who
knew her said she had seen Mrs. Hum
phries walking on Fourteenth street
between Central and Washington
streets with a young man about 25
years old. The woman said she spoke
TO her but Mrs. HUMPHREYS refused to
recognize her. and also tried to avoid
her
I'm positive the woman I met was
Mrs. HUMPHREYS have known her
long time" the woman said.
HUMPHREYS and Mr.. Reed left the
night of July II for Boomer, Mo-, after
the receipt of a telegram from Hutch
insOn. Humphries said the telegram
was concerning his wife. When asked
what the message contained he replied
ct don't care to give out the contents
Of this telegram. 1t is a personal mat
Ter
Mrs HUMPHREYS was described as 20
years old, looks younger, has dark
brown hair, gray eyes, weighs one hun
dred and forty-eight pounds, is five
feet tall, and pretty.

TO RAISE SKUNKS
Fort Scott Men Declare There Is
Money in Their Farm"
In One Pen in City &c Wild
Ones Are Captives.
'EASY TO HANDLE
Farmers" Capture Them Bare
Handed With Good Results.
Concrete Pen to Be Built by
Men interested.

Fort Scott, Kan, July Effort Scott
has a real skunk farm. Twenty-slx
skunks are in captivity now and more
are being added right along, being cap
tured as they run wild at night. The
skunk farmers expect to begin breed
ing soon and they see no reason why
raising skunks should not pay. Al
Cook, a blacksmith, Lawrence and
Clarence Travis and Orville and Arthur
Hare, are owners of the animals. AT
present their farm is pen about 25x
rs feet. They have ten acres on
hillside at Fourteenth and Little streets
which can be used, and if their plans
materialize they will have a farm that
large within q short time. Sl<unks are
worth from 81 up and the farming is
profitable.
The men catch the animals at night
when they go hunting with their five
dogs. The dogs kill a skunk once in
while but the men keep in touch
with the dogs and when they locate
a skunk, run to it, pick it UP and throw
it in a sack, and strange to say, they
are able to return to their families
afterward.
The skunk really is a very nice little
animal. Mr. Cook climbed into the
pen last night, as did the Travis boys,
and handled skunlzs to suit them
selves, and there was no smell. The
idea that skunkS are mean to han
die is erroneous and one might look
for the pen a week and not find 1t,
if they derended upon a sense OF smell
to locate it.
Farm VIII Grow.
The farm is small now, but the own
ers expect to enlarge it. They are
catching more skunks once or twice
each week Eventually they Will i'm
port some solid black skunks and
breed them, as they are more valuable
since they have no white stripes on
their skin. One pen, rudely con-
structed confines the animals now
but they are contemplating the con-
struction of concrete pen. The walls
will go down into the ground about
two feet, as the skunks do not burroW
further down than that.
Skunks eat most anything, largely
meats, but are not averse to vegeta-
bles When not out eating they hide
in burrows which they have dug into
the side of the hill Others hide under
boards and rubbish that have been
piled in the pen for their benefit.
when we first started said Mr..
Cook, people thought we were 'd1ngy
and that the skunks would eat up
their homes and children. Their ideas
have been proven erroneous, but we
are not saying much about it until we
can show people that a skunk farm is
not at all undesirable. There IS good
money in skunk farming and we ex-
pect to make it go"
The farm has been in existence but
a short time so it is not known just
how profitable it will be. None OF
the skunks have given birth to young
ones and it is thought that the breed
ing of the wild ones will be slow
means of multiplication One mother
skunk is giving nourishment to about
a dozen young ones that have been
CAPTURED.

sTUBBs DROPS FRAUD CASE.
Attorney Who Discovered Alleged EIec
ton Irregularities Wonders Why.

Coffeyville, Kan, July 27.-GOvernor
Stubs has apparently dropped his
proposed investigation of the alleged
mysterious appearance of a large num-
Der of new 81 bills at the last mu-
nicipaI election held in this city. Moth
ing has been heard from the states
executive concerning the matter for a
month or more and the supposition is
that he is satisfied with the advertising
he succeeded in giving the alleged
frauds.
TT looks like the governor has for
gotten the matter entirely" said At
torney George Campbell. 81 guess he
is so busy fighting Cherokee and CraW-
ford county jointkeepers that he hasn' [
time for other matters"
It was Attorney Campbell who fur
nished the governor with a bunch of
new coin certificates which it is claim
ed were circulated last election day.

CHLORoFoRMs HIS VICTIMS.
Money Only Thing Wanted by Myster-
ious Kansas Burglar.

lola, Kan, July 27-The police are
mystified by the operations of gang
of burglars who use chlorOform as a
means to stupefy their victims while
the houses are ransacked. Money ap-
pears to be the only thing wanted, as
jeweIry and other valuable articles re-
manned undisturbed in recent cases Of
theft.
The latest robbery of this sort oc-
CURED when Miss Aida Denny of Col
ony, Kansas, who is visiting at the
home of her brother, Roy Denny, was
aroused by a noise at her window
Miss Denny was sleeping near an
open window. Suddenly a rasping
sound aroused her. She started in
fright and found that a handkerchief
literally doped with chloroform had
been placed over her face. The screen
had been ripped open and in passing
his arm through to unlock it, the rob
Der made the noise which aroused Miss
Denny. She screamed loudly as she
caught a glance of the burly man who
for a moment peered at her through
the darkness then turned and fed.
Several cases of the kind have been
reported recently.

GAS FOUND NEAR ABILENE.
Pasture Well Uncovers Small Supply
Seventy Feet Down.

TaImage, July 27.-Thirteen miles
northwest of Abilene in the Rulings
pasture, while drilling we'll vein
Of natural gas was found about 20
feet below the surface At first the
escaping gas was thought to be water
but when none appeared a lighted
match was thrown into the well and
an explosion followed, flames shooting
several feet into the air. The we'll can
be lighted at intervals Of about one
minute.
Mr.. Jones thinks if the well was
capped enough gas could be obtained
to light and heat a dwelling house.
No doubt there is an abundance of
gas in the reservoir from which the
small vein is fed and probably it is no
deeper than a thousand feet There
is talk of organizing a company to
prospect for more gas.

FIND LOCK IS SPIKED.
Prisoner May Bring Suit to Recover
Stolen Clothes.


lola, Kan, July 27.-Making his trip
of inspection at the county jail just
before locking the prisoners in their
cells, Jailer Lee Morrison tried the
lock on the cell occupied by Steve
Lantz on the upper tier. The key
would not turn. and he became sus-
picious that some trick had been at
tempted. He called Sheriff Hoover
Kerr. and together the officers examtn-
ed the lock. With the aid of fash
light they were able to see small bits
of wood which had been wedged into
the lock, "spiking" it. so that it would
not turn. The wood was pulled out of
the lock with a pair of thin nippers,
after which the key turned readily.
AS Lantz is the only prisoner on the
upper tier at present, the officers are
persuaded that he spiked" the lock
on his own cell.
Lantz, the officers say. declines 10
work any more and the length of his
stay in Jail IS problematical. He has
served notice on Jailer Morrison that
he purposes to bring suit against the
county for the loss of the clothing al
legged to have been stolen by Frank
Marsails when he made his escape.

JACK RABBITS HURT CROPS.
Squirrels Also Too Numerous, Lyon
County Farmers Say.

County Farmers say.
Emporia, Kan, July 27.@The far
mers of Lyon county are complaining
OF the jack rabbits. They claim the
crop is too abundant this year and
that they are laying waste much of
their grain. John Price, who lives in
the north part of the county, says the
rabbits in his locality are becoming a
nuisance. Mr. Price says he had sew
en- acres Of alfalfa which he did not
cut, leaving it for seed, but he says
the jack rabbits have been getting in
their work during the past month and
the seven acres is practically worth
less for seed purposes. One day last
week he said he counted twenty-seven
rabbits. within the limits of the seven
acres.
The farmers are thinking of issuing
a call for volunteer hunters from the
town to help them in discriminating
the pests. Farmers usually are oppos-
ed to the town hunter, but according
to a farmer who lives southwest of
Emporia, they will call them friends
this year. He said the squirrel supply
is too large, and that their devastations
are serious in his vicinity. They got
a great deal of the oat crop.
