1T WAS FEAR.
That Drove Two Boys to Steal Kings
Horse and Escape.

Fear of being sent to the reform
school for the theft of bicycle last
Sunday was the reason ascribed by
Charley McCully, 10 years old. and
Norman Noble 9 years old, who were
brought into juvenile court this morn
ing. for the theft of a horse from j.
]. King by which they made their es-
cape as far as Lawrence. The boys
were brought to Topeka this morning
after having been captured yesterday,
by Deputy Sheriff Josiah Ross.
The McCully boy has been a ward
of the Juvenile court about a year,
first having gotten into trouble by
staying out nights and for truancy. He
will be sent to the reform school,
Judge W. F. Schoch of the Juvenile
court says. The Noble boy has al
ways been a good boy until recently,
it is asserted. Judge Schoch has not
decided what should be done with him.
The boys were arrested Sunday
charged with stealing a bicycle, and
the hearing was set for this morning.
To escape a sentence to the reforma-
tory the boys admit having stolen the
horse to make their escape. They
were remanded to the county Jail af-
ter hearing this morning, where they
will be held pending further action.

printed and the eight Roosevelt sup
porters were nominated Then there
were more suits to keep the Roose-
Welt men off the November ballot
There was an action before the state
contest board and in each of these
cases the Taft men were defeated.
Finally Secretary of State Charles
Sessions stated that he would observe
the wording of the Kansas statutes
and place the names of Taft and Sher-
man at the head of the Republican

AFGHAN fEUDS.
Towers of Refuge From Which the
Warfare 10 Conducted.

In Afghanistan the people are
good haters. The blood feud exists
in all Afghan tribes. When a MUIR
der occurs the avsnger does not linn
it his reprisal to the murderer, but
kills any relative hat comes handy.
This, in turn, calls for a counter at
tack, and in time matters become so
complicated that whole families are
wiped out. When the tribe is called
upon to meet a common enemy the
heads of the families who have had
a quarrel bury two stones side by
side in the presence of the mullah
as symbolic of the feud being put
out Of sight during the public dan
ger. When affairs revert to their
normal state the stones are solemn
ly ~disinterred and the two parties
are free to go On shooting at each
other again.
Every Afghan villager of moder-
ate means owns a tower Of refuge
standing at the corner of his court
yard. These towers, made of stone
and mud, are perfectly solid for the
lower twenty feet or SO, the top be-
ing surrounded by a ~loophole wall
and covered over to make it habit
able. The base is protected by a
gallery, and the only means of as
cent is by a rope and a hole just
large enough for n man to crawl
through. Whenever a man has
made things too hot for himself he
takes refuge in his tower, and by
the unwritten law of the country he
can never be starved out so long az
food and water are brought TO him
by a woman.
A traveller in Afghanistan tells of
seeing one tower of refuge whose
occupant had not stirred outside for
ten years. His only amusement was
taking shots at the occupant of an
other tower, which were duly re-
turned. In the meantime their
wives visited each other and Cos
siped and we're on terms Of perfect
smity.
