LOUIS BoUGHNER GOES FREE
Evidence Too Scarce to Warrant
Prosecuting Burglary Charge

Louis A. Boughner, charged with
breaking into the G. e. Northcraft
drug store early Saturday morning
and taking a quantity of morphine
and cocaine, was this afternoon re-
leased when he was brought up for
preliminary hearing in Justice
Quinn's court. insufficient evidence
for prosecution freed Boughner.
After Boughner had pleaded not
guilty, County Attorney Arthur
Hurd asked that the charges be
dropped. while there is no doubt
in my mind but. that this man is
guilty" the county attorney said,
there is practically no evidence to
be introduced that is not purely
circumstantial. and is 80 intangible
as to make prosecution useless.
Judge Quinn released Boughner
with some parting words Of advice.
Boughner says he may go to hos
pital or to his brothers farm, where
he will be given work to do-but no
dope.

Mrs. Susan Steel. 40 years old,
wife Of Eugene w. Steel was killed
instantly about 5:1b o'clock Sunday
evening when the horse she was
driving became frightened by an
automobile, plunged into an orchard
by the side OF the road, and an
oyerhanging branch struck Mrs.
Steel on the head. The trees had
Just been trimmed. and the sharp
end Of branch penetrated deep in
to Mrs. Steel's head, crushing the
-nkull and making wound five In
ches long. Above the left eye was
another deep wound. Either wound
would have been fatal. The acci-
dent occurred within go feet of the
steel home. Mrs. Steel was alone
in the buggy. N an9
The horse became frightened
when q motor car in which were Mr.
and Mrs. ]. v. Humphrey, Mrs.
James Humphrey and Mrs. ]. G. D..
Campbell of Junction City, came
over the crest OF a hill up which
Mrs. Steel was driving. :.
Their motor car was being
driven at slow speed. and was some
distance away when the horse,
plunging and rearing, dragged the
buggy into the orchard, which be-
longs to Mr.. Steel. Mr.. Steel was
at the barn on his place. just across
the road. and saw the motor car go
up the hill. The house was between
Mr., Steel and the place where the
horse left the road, preventing him
from seeing the accident. but when
he saw the car stop and the occu-
pants rush to the side of the road,
Mr.. Steel ran to the orchard. Mrs.
Steel was dead when found.
She was lying on the blood-soak-
ed ground several feet from the
overturned buggy. The horse nag
broken loose and was gone. The
body was taken to the Steel home
and a physician called in a vain ef-
fort to restore life.
Mr.. and Mrs. Steel had been at
tending a church service at Sutphens
Mills. Mr.. Steel left early with
some men who had been doing some
carpenter work on his farm, ana
went home with them to inspect the
work. Mrs. Steel started some time
afterward alone. The buggy top
was down. AS she neared home. two
automobiles passed the buggy and
it Is believed that the horse had
already been frightened by these

erable rate of speed, neighbors say

ENTIRE DEAL IS FINANCED
Simply . Matter Of Laying
Rails and Running the Cars.
Bonner Springs in Two Months
Lawrence by December.

Kansas City, April III. J. Helm,
of this city. announced today that an
interurban line stretching from Kansas
renee to Topeka would be completed
by June 1. 1915. He said cars would be
running on an hourly service schedule
between here and Bonner Springs by
June l., 1914 He expects the service
established to Lawrence by december
1. He said the entire interurban propo-
sition had been financed and that 1t
now was simply matter OF laying the
rails and getting the line in operation.
For years Topeka has heard interur-
ban rumors. At least six different
alleged companies have solicited sup
port in this city and in each case they
have failed to close arrangements when
financial connections were demanded
by interested Topekans.
The Helm proposition today does not
come as a surprise to persons ac-
quatnted with conditions. For months
work has been pushed west Of Kansas
City. Surveys have been completed and
probable terminal sites have been pur-
chased in Topeka.
Albert M. Patten, assistant general
manager of the Illinois Traction com-
pany, head of the Topeka street rail-
way system, always has remained si-
lent on the interurban question in To-
peka and it has been hinted that the
Illinois company would build electric
lines out of the capital city. 1t is
believed now that plans may be COM
pleted for a line from Topeka to Of
tawa. VIM. B. Mckinley, president of
the traction corporation was looking
over the ground in Ottawa after q re-
cent visit to Topeka.
The construction Of the Helm line
from Kansas City to Topeka will be
the beginning of a system of interur-
bans in all directions out of this city.
Already q line is being built from
southern Kansas to Topeka. For years
a line has been planned southwest to
Council Grove. Another has been
started sfr0m Manhattan and juno
ton City in the northwest. All will
center here upon the completion of
the Helm interurban.
