the bullets fired by the robber, after
he had taken Shorts purse containing
$1,000 grazed the left lung.
Police continuing the search for the
robber who also was severely wounded
in the duel with Short were at sea to-
day. Blood stains and the discarded
empty purse of Short, found yesterday
in an onion patch several hundred
yards from the spot where the robber
leaped from the moving train formed
the only definite clew police had to
follow. Aware that a bloody trail
would lead surely to capture, it was
believed the robber had staunched his
wounds, made his way to a railway
track and boarded a freight train leav

lice and a half dozen detectives kept

simms Would Clear River Bed.

County Commissioner Frank B.
Simms thinks there is no time like
the present for removing debris from
the Kansas river just above the MeIan
bridge. There is a quantity of rub
biSh collected against some of the
piers, Commissioner Simms says and
the water is now so low that it would
not be expensive to move it, or at
least cut it loose.
At one place a cottonwood tree is
growing rapidly, and threatens to be-
come a menace, SimmS says, if allow
ed to continue growing. He says it
would be a simple matter to cut the
tree and cut loose the accumulated
rubbish so that the first high water
would take it out. On the other hand
he declares 1T might be quite task to
cut the tree if the work is left until
the water is up.

OPENED WITH RUSH.
Cunningham Heights, the New Addi-
ton, Is Being Sold Today.

Intense excitement, a wild rush and
scramble, a diminutive repetition of
the opening of THE Strip marked the
formal opening and the first official
day of the history of Cunningham
Heights. Topeka's latest addition, To-
Gated just west of Highland Park.
True to the statements of Mr.. Cum
bingham, no sales were made Of lots
in the addition until this morning but
early this morning, the people who
sought anxiously for the choicest loca-
tons, were on the ground with lanterns
removing the tags from each lot winch
bore the price.
So eager were some and so intense
the rivalry that two personal encount-
ers were sta ged. All day today and
until late tonight, purchasers of lots
in Cunningham Heights will be
for and executing the contracts which
transfer ownership from Cunningham
to the various buyers.
Already several lot owners have been
offered handsome advances for their
lots but none have seemed inclined to
SELL Offers as high as $3.50 per lot were
made for the best locations but the
lucky ones hung on to their tags.
The addition of Cunningham Heights
is located just west of Highland Park
and commands a most excellent view
of the city of Topeka. The lots are
high and dry and located only three
blocks from the Vinewood carline.
Il have no doubt but that the addi-
ton will all be sold out before the three
days allotted to the sale are past" said
J. r. Cunningham, who is opening up
the new district.

sale as the people are with the lots.
