FORMER KANsAN IN JAIL.
Wyatt carp, Former Dodge City Mar
shall, Charged With SwindIe Plot.

Dodge City, Kan, July 2S.-Wyatt
carp, who is known to all the older
residents of this city. is in Jail in Los
Angeles, charged with operating a
'get-rich-quick' scheme.
carp was city marshal of Dodge dur
ing the towns wild and woolly days
and has the reputation here of being
one of the most fearless officers Dodge
has ever had.
J. Y. Peterson, a wealthy broker,
broker caused the arrest Of carp.
Peterson told detectives that carp had
unfolded to him a scheme to break Il
faro bank which the former Arizonan
was operating as an employee. Accord
ing to Peterson he was to appear in the
gambling room with 81, 500 and by
means of marked cards. was to be per-
mitted to win $4,000, which was to be
shared with carp and two companions.
The realty broker pretended to &C
uuiesce in the arrangement and for
three nights rehearsed his part in
Earp's rooms in a down town hotel,
where an elaborate faro plant had been
set up. Last night. when the big win
ming was to have taken place, he had
just begun "bucking'' the game when
detectives whom he had previously in
formed, raided the place.

REAL PEST HOUSE.
County and City May Build One
Jointly.

No action was taken by the county
commissioners today concerning the
proposed new pest house. For 80 min
utes E. B. Stotts, city commissioner,
told the county officials of the condi-
ton in the city and county and aroused
a drowsy interest to a lively en-
thusiasm. This resulted in a promise
to talk the matter over at the meeting
next week.
DR.. Hensley, county physician, also
attended the meeting and endorsed the
statements made by Stotts. For a time
the commissioners pleaded a lack of
funds. But when Stotts told them of
the numerous cases of smallpox and
possibly of an epidemic in Topeka and
Shawnee county, the county officials
began to think of a method whereby
they could get busy.
1t is proposed to Immediately erect u
two story frame building to be used as
a public pest house for both city and
county patients. This will perhaps not
cost to exceed 3d. 500 to $4,000. At it's
meeting earlier in the week, the city
commissioners had delegated Stotts to
appear before the county board with a
proposition to bear one-half of this ex-
pense
After a half hour devoted to lively
argument, the board agreed to again
consider the plan at the Monday meet
ing. At this time, Stotts will produce
plans and specifications and a line of
estimates on the cost of new build
ing

canal over part of the old line and it
has become necessary to replace the

These hard woods should last in

machinery, which bores holes for the
screw bolts and ehisels out faces to
form the rail seats.

This is just laxative enough to help
cure cough. Also stimulates the APP

to stand erect and walk. He knew
not whittier he was going, but at
last the sound of waves beating
against the boat greeted him and
he knew himself to he on ship
board. After many turns and
twists, the bandage was removed
from his eyes. Still all was dark.
His feet once more We're manacIed
He was in the ships hold. Again
he went through the agonies of
solitary confinement again a door
opened at intervals; again the
rays of light DULY Illuminated the
interior of his prison; again he
tasted on bread and water.
One day there was a Earring,
grating sound. The ship was un-
der way, and that night a visitor
came to his prison.
81 am the captain of the ship"
said the visitor. you are on your
way to England, prisoner of
war;"
But the humane captain would
not keep the patriot in chains. He
was released and allowed the lib
erty of the ship.
Weeks later Allen was again
confined-this time in Pendennis
castle, England. Here he remained
until 1878, prisoner for two
years and half.
But one spring day he again
found himself on shipboard, bound
for Halifax, and later he gained
his freedom through an exchange
of prisoners.
During the rest of the war he
served with Yalor and he lived to
enjoy the fruits of liberty.
