HOLD BROOM CORN
Farmers Want Higher Price
Buyers Are Cautious.
Heavy Losses Resulted Last
Year, They Declare.

Wichita. Kan, Oct. 1S.-Despite the
fact that Wichita is the greatest
broom corn market in the world, there
is probably not to exceed 40 carloads
of broom corn in all the warehouses
of the city. Considering that the
storage capacity of the Wichita
broom corn warehouses is 1,400 car
loads and that practically all the
broom corn in the southwest has been
harvest ed. this is a peculiar situation.
The situation is due to the fact that
the buyers feel that they cannot pay
prices comparable with those paid last
year, and the broom corn raisers feel
that they ought to have better prices
than are being offered. The result of
this is that thousands of tons of broom
corn, baled and ready for market, lie
in the fields or in sheds on the farms
of the broom corn raiSers, and the
warehouses are vacant.
Wichita dealers declare that the
prices paid last year were too high,
owing to the invasion of the territory
by eastern manufa cturers who as
result loaded up with high priced corn
on which they lost money. This year
the manufacturers are buying more
cautiously and practically all the
broom corn purchased by the Wichita
buyers has been sent east at once.
Only a few carloads of new broom
corn has been stored here.
1t IS predicted that prices will be
better and in order that the farmers
may have the benefit of the rise, some
of the Wichita warehouse companies
have arranged to store the farmers
corn, advancing a little cash on it and
paying the freight from the fields TO
this city. The advantage in this meth
cd is obvious; ten times as many buy
ers would see the corn in the ware
houses here as would see it in the
field and it would sell better in stor-
age than in the field.

TURNS REAL Thief
Dudley Cannon Played Horse

Now He Is Charged With

Independence Kan, Oct 18-It was
during the big A H. T. A. tri-state con-

A horse was hidden far back on the
track and then Dudley Cannon was the

did in style to suit and started off
around the track to be pursued by a
number of mounted Anti-Horse Thief
association members.
The program took place just as de-
sired and it was quite exciting. The
horse thief was caught just by the
grand stand by the posse and hand
cuffed with ropes.
Then to make the scene almost real
he was turned over to Sheriff Paxson
who CHANGED to be there. The sheriff
cut the ropes and released him jokingly

I'll take chance this time
Wednesday the sheriff was called to
Coffeyville to get a prisoner. The man
was accused of breaking into the Will
liams auto garage in Coffeyville and
stealing two auto tires valued at S45.
The sheriff looked him over when he
put the irons on his wrists to bring him
to the county janl and who should it be
but Dudley Cannon, the man who had
played sham horse thief for the ants.
This time he experiences q real sensa-
ton. real handouts and a little real

prove that he was in Kansas City at
the time of the bank robbery st
Hudson.
But the jury which tried the case
