LEFT AT CHURCH
Now Girl Demands $4,000 for
Failure to Wed.
Crowd and Bride Waited, but
Groom Was Missing.

Atchison, Kan, Oct. 22.-Because, as
she alleges, she was left waiting at the
church Mary Falk has sued William
Burke for $25, 900 for breach of promise
Miss Falk. who is a rather stylish and
attractive looking young lady ana
apparently rs years old, lives at Pur-
cell, Doniphan county, and the de-
PENDANT, Mr.. Burke, is a prosperous
farmer in Atchison county, two miles
south of Horton, which accounts for
the suit being brought here.
The petition recites that in July, OF
the present year, they entered into a
verbal promise of marriage, and IN
August, before witnesses and in writ
ing. each acknowledged such contract
of marriage; that, at the request OF
the defendant it was agreed that the
marriage should take place September
%, at St. Mary's Catholic church, Pur-
cell
The announcement of the approach
ing marriage was made by publishing
bans on September 8, II and %, in
both the Catholic church in Horton,
and ST. Mary's church, Purcell, and the
prospective bride made preparation,
notified her friends and relatives OF
her approaching marriage and request
ed their presence for the purpose of
Witnessing the ceremony.
On September %, at o'clock, which
was set for the service, a large number
assembled at the church, but that the
said defendant, wholly disregarding
his promise and contract, utterly fail
ed, neglected and refused to carry out
such promise, and failed, neglected
and refused to be present at said
church at said time, and still fails,
neglects and refuses.
On account of the humiliation she
asks the amount sued for. Judge
Jackson, upon application, granted
temporary injunction, restraining the
defendant Mr.. Burke, from disposing
or incumbering his property during the
tendency of the suit, and a hearing
on the order will be had October rs.
He is said to own one of the best
farms in the northwestern part of
Atchison county, as well as property
in other counties.

PRISONER CRAZY
Negro in RefOrmatOry Tries to

JeerS and Joke Murder Plot Are

Hutchinson, Kan. Oct. 22.-Becoming

murder, John Price, a negro inmate
of the reformatory, was overpoWered
by fellow workers and safely locked in
cell, before he was able to accom-
pIish the crime upon which he seemed
determined.
With several other prisoners, the
negro was at work in the field. I'm
suspectedly he struck at one of the
W orkers, but the blow was lodged.
Grabbing a club, he started after an
other, but seeing the negro was men
tally unbalanced, several prisoners
grabbed and overpowered Price and
locked him securely in a cell.
uperintendent Amrine. Of the re-
formatory, went before Probate Judge
Jordan and filed a complaint against
the negro, charging him with being
mentally irresponsible.
Since the negro has been in the
institution he is said to have lived
in constant fear of being killed by be-
heading. He had been jeered and
scared by the other prisoners who
told him of overhearing the prison
guards laying a plot to kill Price
This is said to have worried him so
that he slept but little, and lived in
constant fear that while he was asleep
someone would cut off his head.
This is said to have caused the ne
gro to worry himself insane.

700 FISH GET JAGS ON.
Carbonic Acid Gas Reason for High
Mortality Rate at AQUARIUM

Memphis, Tenn.-Proving that a
fish cannot stand a jag on carbonic
acid gas, Superintendent E. X. Reit-

has not been able to make members
of the finny tribe live in the indoor
aquariums at the OvertOn Park zoo.
The solution of the mystery has
solved a problem which has bothered
Mr.. Reitmeyer and experts all over
the country for about year From
the time the aquariums were built
and the first fish put in, there was
a hoodoo somewhere that seemed i'm
possible to account for. Some of the
fish could live in the aquariums a
week without showing signs of falling.
Then they would act groggy, finally
spin around a few times, float grub
hupper-up to the top and die.
Aquarium experts in all parts Of the
world were communicated with. Each
offered advice Of some sort but each
time the result was the same. The
fish would die.
Finally It was decided to have a
well-known expert in New York make
an analysis of the water. His report
two weeks ago declared that the only
troubl els that the water contains toe
much carbonic acid gas. He advised
