Man Arrested in Texas Believed to BE
Bad Check Man.

Dodge City. Kan, Aug. Al. F.
Millikan, register of the government
land office at Dodge, will see that the
man who defrauded him out of $500
pays the penalty. The man arrested
at Commerce, Texas under the name
of IF. H. Mendenhall," charged with
defrauding the Hotel White at Kansas
City out of 500, is believed by Mr..
Millikan to be the one who got his
money last April
When in Dodge he was working I'M
der the name of "F H. Macy" and
represented himself to be a wealthy
land owner from Wichita. He wears
a Shriner pin and always Identifies
himself with the Christian Science
practitioners, whom he usually leaves
a bad check. Mr.. Millikan will have
a warrant issued here charging him
with obtaining money under false pre-
lenses and will go to Kansas City when
Macy is brought there
He fears the prisoner may escape
the charge now against him by some
technicality and will be on hand with
another warrant if that proves the
case. Mr.. Millikan's Investigations
have unearthed several places in Kan
sas where the man who beat him pass
ed worthless checks. At Hoisington he
secured $3.50.

CALLS THE SENATORS.
Hodges Wants to Confer With Them to
Increase Prison Coal Output.

Governor Hodges today asked a num-
Der of the state senators to come TIC
Topeka Thursday to discuss the plan
of increasing the output Of coal at the
state penitentiary at Lansing and to
provide funds for the purchase of new
equipment. With an expenditure OF
$4,000, the governor believes that the
coal production at the prison can be
sufficiently increased to supply all OF
the state institutions and that the
state can save the 100000 annual appro-
priation for coal.
Last Saturday Governor Hodges
spent the day at the prison and visit
ed the mines. He personally inspected
the mines anu spent several hours
among some of the most desperate
criminals in the penitentiary and
watched the digging of coal, 700 feet
below the prison grounds. Now he has
some new ideas regarding the manage
ment of the mines and believes that
with comparatively small expenditure,
the states fuel supply can be practical
ly doubled. About 20 legislative mem
bers will probably confer with the gov
ernor Thursday regarding the manner
of providing the money for new equip
ment.
Il think that at a cost of from ST.
900 to $4,000, we can practically double
our coal output at the prison. said
Governor Hodges. Where coal is now
hauled in mule carts a distance of
mile to the shaft, We can provide a
trolley system, which would be a big
saving. This would enable the state
to sell eight of the ten mules now
used in the mines and the funds would
aid in the purchase of new machinery.
Under the present dumping system, 40
per cent of the coal mined is slack.
With some modern equipment we can
reduce the slack to 10 per cent. This
change in dumping and hauling coal
to storage bins after it is brought from
the mines will save the labor of 16
men who can be used under ground.
Then with an extra force of men for
the mines which the prison can fur
nish, L am sure that we can double
the output and this year save $40, 900
of the $4,000 appropriated for fuel.
Next year, We should be able to save
the entire appropriation.

Jumped.

Fort Scott. Kan, Aug. A head

Joplin division of the Missouri Pacific.

wrecked extra freight trains Nos. 424
and AIS. Eight cars were demolished
and debris piled fifty feet over the
partly teIescoped engines. The crews
escaped by jumping. Error in reading
the orders is responsible for the dis
aster. The trains were to have met at
Godfrey, a small town ten miles south
of this city.
The Frisco wrecking crew was CALL
ed to assist in the removal of the
wreckage. So terrific was the impact
that the outgoing train was pushed
back three car length. 1t was COM
posed of forty-one cars and running
down grade. There were twenty-one
cars on the outgoing freight, heavily
loaded.
Had the collision occurred 100 yards

c. Bennett, military prison guard, is
in the guard house at Fort Leaven-
worth awaiting trial on charge of
desertion.
Some time ago Bennett sold his
army revolver and for this was sent
to the guard house for six months.
Last Wednesday he was paroled. The
same day two women met on the road
to Fort Leavenworth. They entered
into conversation and it soon was dis
covered that both were going to the
fort TO see Bennett, whom both
claimed as husband. A stormy ses-
sion was held when both women faced
the prison guard.
When Bennett started to work
Thursday morning he made a pretext
to go to the boiler house, but instead
quit the post in a hurry. He came to
the city and telephoned one of his
wives to meet him at midnight in the
National cemetery with civilian cloth
ing. She agreed to do this but study
ing over her wrongs, decided to turn
informer. She notified the officers and
led a squad to where Bennett was
waiting in the cemetery.

BOY WHO CRIED "WOLF''
An Old Story Is Re-enacted With
Slight Variation.

Kansas City, Aug. 4.-Ray Munker
16 years old, went swimming in Win
wood lake near here. With him were
several other boys. They had been in
the water but a short time when
young Munker suddenly began strug
Cling and shouted Help" Then he
sank.
His companions swan to the place
where his body had gone down and
dived in a frantic effort to save him.
Then they saw him come up a few feet
away and swim away easily, laugh
ing.
1t was great sport. Again and
again he tried it until finally his cries
for help went unheeded.
So finally when he shouted his cry
of Help the other bathers scarcely
looked at the place where the joking
boy had sunk from sight. And when
they did finally miss him they looked
about the banks to be sure he was not
hiding somewhere to fool them. Then
when they realized he was missing and
started diving for him they had for
gotten the exact spot where they last
saw him. Thirty minutes later they
found his body at the bottom of the
lake

a result of the light rainfall over this
section during the past two months, a
serious shortage of stock water is
threatening many stocllmen in the big
grazing districts on the Cassidy, Mat

springs and creeks are now said to be
failing rapidly. Already a number of
stockmen have been forced to sink
new wells and some are now hauling
water a distance of two or three miles
to their cattle until "a new water sup

EAST ATCHISON FIRE.
Flames Destroy Property Worth 500
900: Bucket Brigade Fails

Atchison. Kan, Aug. 4.-East At
Gibson was threatened with total ex-
tinction by fire Sunday. 1t was only
with the aid of the Atchison fire de-
partment that the saloon village
across the river was saved after two
wholesale liquor establishments had
been completely destroyed and two
others badly damaged.
The Doniphan Wine company sus-
tanned the greatest loss, $4,000. and
the Quigley supply company's loss is
estimated at $4,000. The Bremen and
Henderson liquor houess were the
other losers, although small fires
caused some damage to other build
ings.
1t is believed that the fire, which
started about midnight, originated in
a coal bin in the rear of the Allen
and Haas grocery, probably from
spontaneous mbustion.
The buildings, which were of frame
construction and as dry as finder
from the long drouth, burned quickly.
a bucket brigade was organized in an
effort to check the course of the
flames. When it was seen that the
fight would fail, the Atchison fire de-
partment was asked to aid and re-
sponded.

ATCHIsoN's BONDS POPULAR.
Citizens Want Them Even at Premium
-FOrmerIN a Drag.

Atchison, Kan. Aug 4-Atchison' :
$266,95 worth of 4 per cent bonds.
which matured July 1, and about
which suit was filed because the city
did not have the cash on hand to take
them up, are now being held at a pre-
MUM. Probably nobody believed
Atchison had any intention of denying
the debt or trying to evade it, but the
eastern money brokers were afraid
the city was going to force them 70
take new per cent. bonds. Several
citizens of Atchison took advantage of
the abuse and bought blocks of the
matured bonds. One block of $40, 600
sold at 90 cents on the dollar, and
one of $4,000 at 81 cents.
The city's recent letter. backed by
every bank in town. asked holders of
the old bonds if they would be willing
to exchange for new fives. callable
after five years, sent the old bonds
to a premium. but the chances are
that few of the outsiders will get any
of the fives. They are too good an
investment at home. Owners want
premium in prospect of new per
cent. bonds. but the city can pay off
the old bonds at par.
