PRISON TvvlNE GOOD
New Machinery Enables Inmates to
Do Better work.

Leavenworth, Jan. s.@The first pro-
duct OF the new twine plant Of the
state prison has been delivered to the
office Of Warden ]. D. Botkin and
Deputy Warden Fitxgibbon.
Finished twine is nothing new at
the prison. but finished twine of the
quality of that now being turned out
Is considerably out of the ordinary.
The twine now being manufactured at
the prison is the product of the latest
and best styles of twine making ma
chinery.
The twine delivered yesterday is of
better quality that that which was
manufactured in the plant before 1t
was destroyed by fire. and tests proved
1t to be much stronger. The product
Is not fuzzy like that which general
ly is offered for sale, and its texture
is much finer.
The plant now IL working half time,
but within another week it is expect
ed to be put on full capacity. There
is something like $4,000 worth of
sisal on hand. and 1t IL desired to
make this into twine before the next
consignment arrives, the latter part of
next July.

Fails to Appear in Court.

Abilene, Jan. 8.-When Judge r. L.
King of the district court called for
trial the case Of the state VS.. Guy Lath-
rop. charged with arson, Lathrop did
not appear. Lathrop skipped his bond
of $1,000 deposited in local bank
and is believed to have joined the pop
ulatiOn Of Canada. The judge declared
the bond forfeited. Three other men,
W. G. Brownell, William Melford and
Oscar Story. who were held on arson
charges with Lathrop. are said to have
confessed their share in the case. The
four men were charged with the set
ting fire to a sehoe store owned by
Milford in Herington and planning an
other fire. 80
The trial Of the three men. who
have been held In Jail since their pre-
liminary trial in default of bond, has
been moved forward until Information
is secured about. Lathrop. Should
charges against the men be pressed.
and they be convicted, they would be
incompetent to act as witnesses against
Lathrop.
Application for lunacy hearing for
Brownell was made, and was granted
at once. Should he be declared in
capable, a prison sentence may be sup
planted by confinement in a state hos
pttal.
