When asked about the two checsk5 to

and called up Attorney Willard Han

Visited Cunningham.
An idea of Cunningham where
abouts was given when Dr., n. z. Nc
Abee's daughter said that she and her
father had called at the Cunningham
home during the early evening. The
girl was at the Offices evidently to see
her father, and when it was suggested
that all concerned in the Stampede com,
pany were crooked she took decided
exception and told who she was. She
said in answer to questions:
My father is not crook and I do
not believe that Cunningham Is one,
at least not in this case. believe
that 1t will be cleared up all right
My father and 1 went to Cunning
hams place at about supper time and
he and his wife were there. He and
father talked about having a meet
ing to settle up the affairs OF the
stampede and decided to meet at the
home OF Mr.. Woolf sometime after
supper. I did not notice the number
OF the house, but 1t was BRICK
house on Second East street.
Cunningham 5 mother, Mrs. Alice D.
Pitt Of 1908 Eleventh East street, said
last nj ght that she had not seen her son
since Friday. She said that from what
he had told her the Stampede had been
success. She named different places
where she said 1t was possible that he
was staying and said that he might
have left the city, but she thought not,
as he always called her up or sent her
some message before leaving and had
not done so on this occasion. When
asked about where he stayed when not
at home, she mentioned ZIG South Sec
ond East street.
Left at Dark.
When a reporter called at 216 South
| Second East street, A. T. Lydick, who
lived in the house in furnished rooms,
| said that Cunningham and his wife had
| left the place at about dark. He said
| that they were there at supper time
and then went away together at about
dark, taking nothing with them and
apparently lust going for a walk. He
said that he did not know where Gun
MIN CHAM stayed when not at home, but
intimated that he did not expect them
| to return.
| Sheriff on Guard.
Sheriff Andrew C. Smith and twenty
| deputies, Humane Officer John Houk
| and half dozen policemen held con-
sultation with the management Of the
Stampede company and their associates
in the wild west show at the fair
grounds Yesterday afternoon for the
purpose OF checking up on alleged
cruelty to which animals figuring in
| the show are said to have been sub
jected st former performances. AS
result there was no exhibition Of the
regular steer-roping contest, nor Of the
bulldogging' Of steers, to which spe-
cifc objection had been made by hu-
mane officers.
| Regardless of the elimination Of these
| features there were thrills that made
| the snectators shiver with onprphn sion
