NORTH SIDE NEWS
And Two Policemen Are Ex-
pected to Protect Them.

"A number of North Topekans want
to know how two lone policemen are
inhabitants. This II just the stse OF
the North Side police force. Their
beats arc ~ follows:s At night ii. O..
Cook has from Norris street north
and George Brown has from Norris
street south. The day force IL COM
posed of Omcers Wonderly and
Jones' Wonderly IL north OF Norris
and Jones is south.
North Topeka has no kick coming
on the men but they need more Of the
same kind. It IL practically impossi-
BILE for one man to cover the amount
Of territory which IL included in these
beats. One man living in the north
western part OF the city said that he
had not seen a policeman since the
first Of the year. 1t IL true that one
Is seldom seen in that part Of town.
But 1t il not the poltceman's fault
He cannot possibly cover the territory
and do 1t regularly.
The policeman has orders or II ex-
pected to stay on Kansas avenue
most Of the time. When he leaves to
encircle his beat. which will take him
some time. North Kansas avenue II
unprotected. When he il on Kansas
avenue the territory for almost q
mile around is unprotected. How
easy it would be for some one to
break into q house Is shown by the
case OF q prominent business man
who had an overcoat stolen. The
thief simply walked into the hall Of
his residence and took it. The theft II
small but It il an example.
