FOR TURNER TRIAL FIRST OF FOURTH

White Slave Trial.
Case of Local Girl Who Went
to Dallas, Texas.

Topeka will have an opportunity Of
seeing the finish, as it saw the begin
ming of the Mary Turner case which
set the town talking last June when
the pretty, 16-year-ofd girl mysterious
ly left home, to appear several days
afterward at Dallas, Texas. with a
weird story of man with drug
gun who carried her away uncon-
sciouc.
Grover Cleveland. now under q
white slavery" indictment, by a fed
eral grand Jury, is on his way to To-
peka in charge of a United States
deputy marshal from the Missouri dis
trict. He has been in Jail at Joplin
for several months but will have his
trial here at the November term OF
of the United States district court.
This is believed by the agents OF
the department of justice who have
studied the evidence in the case. to
be a genuine violation of the Mann
act,' declared Fred Robertson, United
States district attorney today. the
Information laid before the grand
jury at Leavenworth last month wher
the Indictment was returned was OF
most damaging nature SO far as
Cleveland was concerned.
While the federal officers obtained
from the girl confession that the
.drug-gun" story was an invention O
her own, intended to conceal that fac
that she had been persuaded to leave
home voluntarily, it is asserted Cleve
land endeavored to exploit the CIR
in Texas. Her case was reported tt
local police authorities by youth t.
whom Cleveland talked about her at
ter reaching Dallas.

a wild and reckless career before hi

"JACk'S" SAD DEATH.
Dog With Many Friends Suffered on
Account OF Superstition.

Jack a beautiful fox terrier. has
been sacrificed on the altar Of super
stition at the city dog pound. Jack
had been the joy and protection of
two women living on Polk street be-
tween Fourth and Fifth streets. A
few days ago a child. whose home is
in the neighborhood. rode along the
sidewalk on a velocipede. When he
passed the dogs home the dog rushed
out playfully. But the little child mis-
understood the dogs intentions. He
kicked at the dog. Jack retaliated by
closing his teeth on the child's stock
ing. Then there was a neighborhood
fuss.
Although the days of Salem witch
craft passed centuries ago. yet 1t
seems there are still some people just
as superstitious as were the most mis-
guided of those days The mother OF
the child whose stocking had been
punctured believes that the way to
cure dog-bite is to kill the dog. She
also believes that should the dog not
be killed and should afterwards de-

bitten would also develop the same
disease. even II the dog had been free
