City, Mo-, arrived in Topeka today to
take into custody Jim Robinson of 5O4
Liberty street, who is wanted in the
Missouri city for carrying concealed
weapons. In Missouri that offense is
felony. Robinson went back today in
Jarvis custody to answer for the gun
play with which he terrorized his for
mer cOnsOrt, Effie Ewing after trac-
ing her to The boarding house in Kan
sas City where she had settled down
with the husband to whom she had
been married Immediately after she left
Robinson in Topeka.
Robinson is locomotive engineer by
trade, but he once before got in trou-
BILE on a liquor selling charge. Having
pleaded guilty he was free on parole
when he went to Kansas City He went
there to look for Mrs. Ewing with
whom he had had a serious difference
resulting In their separation. She had
made the separation effective by mar
rying another man about a week be-

er on the street and followed her."
said Detective Jarvis this morning,
relating the story of the Topeka mans
operations in the city at the mouth of
the kaw. She was going to a house
where some carpenters were at work
and he evidently thought that Mrs.
Ewing was concealed there, for he
pulled his gun and chased the work
men off the job and went all over the
place. Then he found one of them
who knew where Mrs. Ewing lived and
compelled him to divu1ge the infor-
nation at the point of his gun.
After that he went to the boarding
house where Mrs. Ewing lived and
found her and her mother in their
room. the door of which he kicked
down. After creating considerable OF
a rough house he decided he had bet
ter pull out. and came back to Tope-
ka where he was arrested yesterday
at our request. Gun totin' is serious
business and we expect to be able to
send him over the road on the evil

chairman, w. l.. Brown, of Kingman,
today, will extend to the mining stu
dents of the University of Kansas the

The plan of allowing students to
