cording to the stories OF the young

some young men bolted the
doors.
The young ladies did not want to
attract any attention, so they did
not scream for help. but waited pa
tiently for some one to pass the rath-
sr lonely spot. After being prisoners
or two hours some young ruffians
tuck their faces to one of the win

Attorney General Will Prosecute
City Officials That Fail.

Attorney General Will Prosecute
City Officials That Fail.
The city is likely to find out just
where the money collected for taxes
goes. Attorney General Dawson
has sent to Gov. Hodges an opinion
that all city clerks must make regu-
lar quarterly reports as to the city's
finance and that prosecutions will
be brought where the officials fail
to observe the 1913 law regarding
publication of itemized statements.
Abilene has not seen an itemized
statement of the city expenses since
commission government was adopt
ed. The last statement did not full
fill the requirements of the new
law, being only a summary of re-
ceipts and expenditures. i
Complaint was filed by ]. NJ.
Lewis, publisher of the Kinsley
Graphic, to the effect that the law
was not being observed in his town.
The governor took the matter up
with the attorney general and that
official gave an opinion that will
mean more information for the tax
payers and more revenue for the ,
country editors. Discussing the new
law Dawson said
'~nhat Etatute requires the city
treasurer Of every city in Kansas to :
publish once every three months, :
between the tenth and twentieth !,
days of March, June, September and :,
December in each year, full and
