LUTEN BRIDGES
ARE SUPERIOR, SAYS
A Topeka PAPER
New Luten Bridge on Cheyenne
Street Crossing Most Dur
able Structure

The Topeka State Journal of
Sept. 9th last contained an article
relating to the Luten bridges, of
which our new bridge on Chey-
enne street is an exact type.
After making a terrific "holler"
about being forced to pay $25,
00O.85 in royalties on the Luten
structures, that paper continues:
"Many people have it in for any
person who is making easy money.
Luten is making easy money, but
Luten delivers the foods. As q
matter of fact, Luten has them all
skinned in the matter of building
bridges.
The city can build a Luten bridge,
pay 10 per cent royalty, and still get
cheaper, better and more substan.
tial bridge than any other possible
style of bridge. As to Luten making
money, that is not our business. 1t
cant be helped. Many communities
infrinsed his patent, stood suit and
have paid great deal more in the end
than the royalty would amount to-"
Our new Luten bridge is said
to be one of the best and most
substantial in the State, and is a
most impressive structure to the
stranger upon entering our town.

The TRUTH ABOUT
the CHMELKA KID.
MAPPING CASE
All Stories So Far Merely Con.
lecture, Says Mrs. Chmelka.

That the true facts in the
Chmelka kidnapping case may be
fully understood by all, Chief
tain reporter visited the Chmelka
home, which is about nine miles
north of Holly, the other day,
and was told the story in detail
by Mrs. Chmelks herself, for
ever putting at rest the wild and
incoherent white slave yarns
that have nauseated readers of
the daily papers the past week.
Altho the scene was staged on
Wednesday noon, the heavy"
work was not attempted until
Wednesday night, when Mr..
Chmelka was irrigating his broad
acres about an even mile from
the residence. An automobile
stopped in front Of the house,
and one of the occupants alight-
ed, making a bee line for the
kitchen door. which was open.
Supposing that the intruder was
her husband, Mrs. Chmelka (who
had retired just few minutes
previous) asked if it were lunch
time, as she always prepares a
night lunch for him during the
irrigating season.
No answer was made, but in
stead, the intruder placed his
knees on her body and before she
could cry for h elp thrust a
blanket over her head, tying her
hands behind her and stuffing
gag in her mouth with a sheet
from her own bed.
Mrs. Chmelka, now terribly
frightened, begged not to be,
taken away from her children.
His reply was: 'Ha! I've been
after you for five years and Pm
going to get you now," and seiz-
ing her in his arms attempted to
carry her into the waiting auto,
but here is where he figured
without his host. Mrs. Chmelka
is powerful little woman, and
began to fight, kicking and
scratching as much as she could,
and in the darkness the would-be
kidnaper stumbled over culvert,
giving the lady an opportunity to
break away from his grasp and
run, and was closely followed by
the man, but owing to the dark
ness, she eluded him and fled,
making her escape clad only in
nightgown, Vending her way to
the Marston home, just opposite,
where she was welcomed, spend
ing the night with Mrs. Marston,
her body black and blue and con-
tanning many decorations, memen-
toes of an awful struggle which
the intended victim will never
forget.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Chmelka
believe that the itinerant solicitor
who came thru the house on Wed
nesday noon of the same day was
none other but an accomplice,
and that after he had gotten the
lay of the land he Immediately
communicated his findings to the
principal, with the result above
stated. This much is certain,
that the dogs in the neighbor-
hood, which are always on the
alert, were strangely asleep on
the night of the attempted crime,
and they are firmly of the belief
that the animals were "doped. "
The Chmelkas are hardworking
farmers, and have not an enemy
in the world as far as they know,
and after being married eight
years, are mystified beyond ex-
preston.
Had alarm been given on the
night in question, the culprit no
doubt would have been captured
easily, and from the temperament
of the neighbors in the vicinity
of the Chmelka home, Judge
Lynch would probably have offici-
ated at an impromptu necktie
party had the marauder been
captured.
