sland railroad narrowly escaped
death Thursday, when he fell from
tho foot board of an engine and
rolled in front of the engine on the
track. He was thrown to he side OF

strained back snd few bruises Mr..
Hanna is a switchman The Wichita
paper contained the following account
of the accident.
"Rolled along the track for several
feet by the footboard of a Rock
Island switch engine, G. E. Hanna %
years old of Lexington, Kansas was
injured about the back Thursday
night in the Wichita yards.
Hanna was standing on the foot
board OF the engine and slipped OFF.
The fact that the footboard of the
engine was low was all that saved
his life. 1t was too low to let his
body under. He was taken to the
st Francis hospital in the Howard
ambulance, His injuries are reported
to be minor ones"

Some weeks ago Agent Pendleton, of

work, a woman habitue of a resort

able information. Two weeks ago the
first open move came with the arrest
OF Anna Woods, keeper of a local re-
sort, on a charge of violating the
Mann law in bringing girls from
Kansas City, Mo, here for immoral
purposes Then Thelma Campbell, for
years a we'll known character of the
underworld in Lead and Deadwood,
was arrested in the same case. The
Anna Woods hearing was held before
United States Commissioners Moore in
Deadwood and the woman was dis
charged, it being announced at the
time, for lack of sufficient evidence.
The next day Mrs. Woods gathered up
her luggage and departed in an auto
mobile for a point down the line, where
she caught a train and was next heard
of in Canada. Then Thelma Campbell
was taken to Kansas City, where the
grand jury listened to the evidence in
the case, and Thelma received six
