The destruction OF the old Paul farm
house. quarter Of mile south OF
Pauline, by fire recently, marked the
passing of one of the county's Oldest
and most familiar landmarks. And in
addition to being one Of the first houses
erected. in Shawnee county south of
Topeka, the Paul place was famous for
having been the scene of one of the
most daring acts in the criminal his
tory of the state. The building was
erected a half century ago by b. F.
Paul, for whom the town of Pauline.
few miles south of Topeka, was named.
The house was the one In which
Porter S. Cook, sheriff of Shawnee
county in 1901. was taken prisoner by
two escaped federal convicts and held 4.
prisoner for several hours. Here's the
story: ~--<ss.~s .s--A-
Escaped From Penitentiary.
A few days after the greatest fed
eral pen delivery in the history of the
country occurred at Leavenworth, NOV:
g. 1901, when 26 federal prisoners killed
a guard and escaped from the Leaven-
worth stockade, and Tor week Of
more terrorixed the entire state ana
neighboring states. a report was
sent to Topeka that two Of the escaped
convicts were in the vicinity or Pauline.
Sheriff Cook and Cndersheriff Will
liams armed themselves with shOtgune
and started to hunt down the two men.
The convicts were discovered near
Pauline and pursued to the farmhouse

Worcester was dropped to the floor
with blood streaming from his head
by a blow with the butt Of q gun in the
hands of one of the convfcts. MT.
Worcester was held a prisoner.
Sheriff Cook. thinking the men un-
armed. ran into the house. The con-
victs promptly met the sheriff at the
door, placed their guns against his tenn
pie and took him prisoner. The con-
victs made preparations for fight. BY
this time strong guard headed By
Undersheriff Williams had surrounded
the house but Williams deciding that
the convicts, sent to Topeka for re-
endorsements. Chief StAhl and = q
the Topeka police force responded.
| Preparations were made for an At.
tack on the house. Then the convict1
executed the move that won them their
/ liberty. Using Mr.. and Mrs. Worcester
and Sheriff Cook as shields they
marched through the line Of officers
who dared not fire for fear Of hittinG
one Of the Worcesters or the sheriff.
Once outside the line Of guards. the con-
victs released Cook and the Worcester
and made a run for liberty. They
escaped the guards, but were captured
a few days later.

A bad back makes you gloomy.

The aches and pains of a bad back
are frequently due to weak kidneys.
Doan's Kidney Pills are recon-
mended for weak kidneys.
So Johnson City citizens testify.
R. C. Collins, 1872 Ivy Street, John
son City, says: For years my kid
neys were weak and the secretions
passed too freely. / had to get up
often at night on account of this
weakness. My back got weak and
achy and l had rheumatic twinges in
the joints of my arms. Dropsical
swellings appeared beneath my eyes
and in my feet and had dizzy spells.
