an anonymous letter stating that Dick,
who was one of the governors appoin-

board of control and still using con-
vict labor on the streets OF his town
site. This letter was turned over TO
the attorney general who said he inn
mediately began an investigation of
its contents.
A former convict by the name Of
Westfall, formerly of Saulpa, and a
former guard at the penitentiary were
located, he said, and told the attorney
general substantially the same story
as incorporated in the anonymous let
ter. The contents of the letter to-

men were taken to the goyrnor and

that sort should come from more re-
liable source than former convict or
former guard either Of whom might
have some grievance against Dick.

against Dick were discussed, the att

POOR MANS DOC.
His Time HOnored Perogative
Is Taken Away.
Last and Best Friend Must Go
If He Is to Get Public Aid.

A new ruling went into effect In
Shawnee county this morning. Here
after any one owning a dog will be
disqualified from receiving penny of
the $4,000 annually devoted to
Shawnee county's poor. The county
regards dog as a luxury.
Families who have not enough for
their children divide their pittance
with a dog. The barking OF a pup Is
mingled with the cry for help from
half the INDECENT families in Shaw
nee.
IF family is poor, it has a dog"
said C. N. Bacon, commissioner OF the
poor. today; "if it's very poor, it mas
two dogs"
People must dispose of their pups II
they wish help from the county. It's
a practical ruling, but will wiring tears
from the eyes Of many a ragged kid
die. There's nothing SO nice as dog.
but, like Oliver Twist, they do eat ire
mendous. Dogs are a luxury. People
having luxuries can't expect county
aid. And there you are.
The Associated Charities OF Wichita
recently adopted the ruling. It came
to the notice of F. D. Coburn, secrc-
tary of the State Agricultural society,
who notified Mr.. Bacon this morning
The commissioner OF the poor said he
considered it an excellent ruling, and
would adopt it in Shawnee county.

exit to shoot the desperate on sight.
but the expected dash for liberty did
not come.
Today fumes from wet gunpowder
were directed into the underground
corridors. These fumes are heavy and
hang close to the ground beneath the
strata Of lighter gases that have been
pouring into the mine since yesterday
morning. 1t was expected the powder
fumes would settle into several blind

Because Lopez has not attempted 8
