Guthrie, Ok, January 9.-That Ben
Cravens at one time, several years
ago, lived for some time in a barr1-
caded house in wichita Kan, and that
he saw CraVens there, is the state
ment OF Undersherif Jim Kirkwood of
Guthrie, who for many years was the
president of the Oklahoma Anti-Horse-
thief association. The time which
Cravens spent in the Kansas metropolis
was after the robbery at Red Rock
in 1901, and prior to the year that
Charles Maust-in Jail here as Crayens
was taken to the Missouri state
prison to serve a sentence for burglary
Kirkwood was on the trail of a band
of Gypsies, who were charged with
stealing a white boy from SeeleyV1lle,
Ind, when he ran into CraVenS IN
Wichita Coming in late in the even
ing, Kirkwood stopped at a rooming
house. opened the door to room that
quickly saw Ben Cravens sitting in
front Of him. Evidently Cravens rec
ognized him as tie Anti-Horseth1ef
chief of Oklahoma, for the outlaw left
the room quickly by a side door As
he went out he pulled his hat over
his eyes to hide further recognition, II
possible
Kirkwood had an opportunity. the
next morning, of making an examina-
ton of the place. He found that the
door through which Cravens left the
room, went into a small bOarded-up
room butt over the a-rway in such
door the occupant could command the
entire stairway and also all the rooms
that led from the long hallway, ana

Visited KirkwOOd's Camp.
Elirkwood recognized Cravens, who
had visited a camp of the klrkwood-
family in Paw1Iee county, several years
before. Several days ago kirkwood
visited the federal jail here and 1mme-
dfately picked CraVenS out or a bunch
of prisoners. It was Maust whom he
identified as Cravens. 1t is understood
according to Kirlxwood's story, that the
rooming house in Wichita was being
managed at that time by a FORMER
Pawnee. Ok, woman, whose husband
was an early day character in that
town.
An exceedingly interesting witness
in the CravenS case, who also 1dent1ned
Maust as Cravens yesterday, is John
Mittimus of Kinsley, Kan, who was
Fnbry. MittimuS relates that several
times he was mistaken for CraVens ana
narrowly escaped arrest. At one time,
in particular, he was leaving Blackwell,
ok in the evening. and he was fol-
lowed by a posse of officers who were
certain that they had finally got on
the trail of the last of the outlaws.
He evaded arrest, however. Mlttlmus

FILLS LONG FELT WANT
Mrs. Ella FTagg Young Invents 8
Personal PrOnoun.

+ Chicago, Jan. "a common personal
pronoun for both sexes-that problem
which for generations has worried pro-
| fessors of English into nervous pros
tration and has turned many a peace
! full classroom into a battle-ground of
strife-was invented in an instant by
Ella Flagg Young and caused a room
full of school principals to gasp with
establishment.
Mrs. Dung sprung her little surprise
at a meeting of school principals. The
prelimfnaries were over and the super
intendent Of schools rose to address
the assemblage on "A Simplifed Course
of Study
"A principal should so conduct his'er
school that all pupils are engaged in
something that is profitable to him er
and where the pupil is required to use
knowledge in school in accomplishing
his'er task began Mrs. Young.
All gasped in unison. Mrs. Young
paused to survey the effect her words
had made upon the group
'Wh-whaJ was that?" came the query
from several parts of the room. I'VE
don't quite understand what that was

Mrs. Young smiled and continued: Il
work for the fifth or sixth grade when
he'er has always done the work in the
grades above or below.
Il don't see what can be astonishing
you unless it is my use or misuse of
the personal pronoun,' said the super
intenoent.
Il have simply solved a need that has
been long impending. The English
language is in need of a personal pro-
noun of the third person, singular num-
Der, that will indicate both sexes ana
will thus eliminate our present awk-
wardness of speech.
Some years ago at the university
which I attended, this subject came up
for discussion and after two and one
half hours we had come to no dec1s-
ion and we all bore a rather strained
attitude towards one another.
The problem has bothered me fire.
quently and the solution Of it occurred
to me as I was on my way to this
meeting. Most of the pronouns of the
feminine gender end in 'er, and so all
you have to do to make the common
pronoun is to take the masculine form
and add 'er."
Mrs Young used the simplified form
throughout her address Some of the
forms she used were he'er for he or
she, his er for his or hers, and him'er
for him or her.
The principals expressed themselves
enthusiastically over the innovation,
and each resolved as he'er left the meet
ing that he'er would introduce the form
in his'er classrooma

Lawrence Hasn't Gas Enough to Boil
River Water.

Lawrence, Kan, Jan. 9.-OWing to
fires and burst water pipes causing
an unusual consumption of water the
president of the Lawrence Water com
pany announced today that it would
probably be necessary to pump water
from the Kaw river as the city wells,
which supply the town with water,
are fast being pumped dry. The river
water has been pronounced impure
and contains germs and it will be
necessary to boil it to prevent disease.
The Lawrence people are in a
quandary should the river water be
used, as there is so little gas that it is
feared that it will be impossible to
boil the water.
