NOT A SINGLE FIRE.
Chief WiImarth Says Topeka Record
Broken for Christmas.

Our holiday precautions worked
we'll" said Chief Wilmarth this morn
ing. I'VE didn't have fire on Christ
mas day, and haven't had one since"
There is usually some blaze, wheth-
er large or small. on the 25th of De-
cember. It's the easiest thing in the
world for a Christmas tree candle to
flare, topple, and touch the branch
above it with a flame that rapidly
spreads to a window curtain. If some
family is keeping open house, they
have a roaring fire in the furnace, a
spark whirls up the chimney, Skins
over the roof. and the fire company is
changing up the street in couple of
minutes.
This year Topeka had a sane Christ
mas as well as a sane Fourth. Elec-
trio lights were used exclusively on the
larger trees, and no alarms were rung
in on account of candles.
Chief Wilmarth attributes this for
tunate state of affairs. in part at least,
to the extreme care taken by the de-
partment before Christmas. The chief
believes that an ounce of prevention
is worth pound of cure, and special
examiners were stationed all over
town several weeks before the holt
days. The result is that there hasn't
been a fire in town for ninety-six

MULES S212A HEAD.
All Sale Records for Missouri's Spc'
cialty Broken.

Fulton, Mo-, Dec. 27.-Ah records
in fat mule sales have been broken
in Galloway county the last ten days
when buyers representing two firms
at the National Stock Yards in East
St. Louis bought $50 head for $685.
338.75, an average of $212 a head.
The largest buyers were the Guyton
& Harrington company, which got
sos head at cost of $110,13S.75, and
the Maxwen-Crouch Mule company.
A shipment of train load of mules
from Auxvasse and McCreedie last
week Was the first in the history of the
county and represented more money
than any live stock shipment ever
made out of the country. The heavy
purchases of South Carolina mule men
on the St. Louis market is believed
to have stimulated the trade in Mis-
souri, mule counties. 1t is estimated
that LOCO mules are still on feed in
Galway county and the mule buyers
announced that they would return at
ter the holidays to look them over.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
j. l.. Taylor Assaulted in Home by In
sane Negro.

Sudden death from a knife in the
hands of man he believes is a maniac
was narrowly averted late last night,
according to the story of John L.
Probate Judge w. F. Schoch this
morning. The alleged maniac is
Harvey Enox or HALEY, negro. who
paid visit to Taylor about midnight
last night. The fact that the knife
was old and broken when an attempt
was made to plunge it into Mr.. Tay-
Ior's breast accounts for the fact, the
victim believes, that he is suffering
this morning merely from small
bruise just below the neck on his right
Dreat instead of occupying a slab in
somebody's morgue.
Mr.. Taylor is the father-in-law of
a. W. Newell, and lives with his SON.
in-law and daughter at Arlington
Heights. The negro knocked at his
door about 1880 O'Clock, he said, and
asked for the use of a telephone, de-
claring that he had been poisoned and
wanted to call the sheriff. Mr.. Taylor
slightly acquainted with the man.
lowed him to step inside. He then
called his daughter, but while she was
trying to find the number that would
call Sheriff Norton the negro seized
the telephone receiver and began
shouting for the sheriff.
He puffed up and said he was
swelling from poison MFR. Taylor said,
and L thought perhaps a little air
would help him. So I opened the door.
He then dropped the telephone and
slipped q knife out of his coat sleeve.
You're in with the rest of them,
- you, he said, and hit me with the
knife. The blade broke off close to
the handle. Then the negro ran away"
Later the man was caught on the
asylum grounds, and subsequently was
turned over to the police. He is being
held until an examination into his
sa nifty can be made. He is said to be
an ex-convict, and was released from
the city jail only yesterday.

WITHOUT A LICENSE.
Hunters. Including Shawnee Commits
sioncrs. Be Tried at Auburn.

Next Tuesday morning two Shawnee
county commissioners and r. V. Lee
son. a local civil engineer. will be tried
before Justice of the Peace George
Lunn at Auburn charged with hunting
without licenses. The only evidence
against the men is said to be that of
s. L. Mabbitt, deputy fish and game
warden who found the men driving
along the public highway in an auto
mobile with guns in the auto. The COM
missioners say they think the prosecu-
ton will not result in conviction.
The commissioners are Edwin l.
O'Neil. and James c. Simmer. O'Neil,
who is an attorney, will represent the
trio when the case is called for trial.
Mabbitt, the deputy who made the ar
rests, has been twice convicted of in
sanity in the local probate court, and
subsequently has been discharged from
the state hospital here as cured.
