FILED AGAINST
STARR AND PAL
HELD FOR JOINT ROBBERY
OF STROUD BANKS ESTES
CONDITION is WORSE

Word received from Chandler to-
day says that the condition of Louis
Estes or Elliott, one OF the wounded
Starr bandits is worse and that he
may not recover. Starr's condition
grows better.
. The hunt for the five fugitive out
laws has ceased. The prosecutor OF
I.incoln county filed charges today
against Henry Starr and Louis Es-
tes the two bandits shot and cap
tured Immediately following the raid
on the First National bank and the
Stroud bank at Stroud Saturday
morning.
Starr is charged with joint rob-
berry of the Stroud National bank
the bank which he entered and
plundered, and Estes is charged with
having helped rob the First National
bank Of Stroud and the separate in
formations charge that the two men,
cooperating with parties now un-
know, also co-operated with another
in the robbing of the two banks.
When Robbery Was Planned.
! In confidential talk with Bill
Tilghman, former deputy United
States marshall and peace office, in
the Chandler Jail Henry Starr said ne
did not know the five men who were
with him In the Stroud bank robbery.
,TIe said they came from the neigh
borhood OF Joplin, Mo-. and that he
and Estes fell in with them last
Thursday,
Il have four good men with me
and we are ready for anything the
leader of the men in the covered
wagon said to Starr and Estes, 1t
was not until they had been together
two days that they planned the rob
berry of the Stroud banks.
This accounts for Starr having 50
many with him in the robbery Here
tofore he has executed his robberies
alone or with the help of only one
man. Estes has been with him for
several months he told Tilghman.

fans are football hungry and they
center their attentions on the K. U.
and Aggie teams in preference to the
Washburn team because they know
the AggieS and K. U. scrap. They
have lost confidence in Washburn.
What Washburn needs is to wake
up and stay in the procession. In Il
town the size of Topeka, the people
want to see the big teams, and if
WaShburn would play games here
with teams that have a reputation,
football would be a regular mint to
the colleges athletic association"
This season the Ichabods were bare
ly able to make expenses, and they
would have gone heavily in debt if it
had not been for the record crowd at
the Aggie game. Because the business
side of athletics is entrusted to stu
dents who donate their services, be-
cause the games are not properly adj
vertised, because there is no Syste-
matte manner of finding ways and
means of helping football players who
work their way through school and
because there is no effort made to
improve the field and make it more
comfortable and attractive to the pa
irons, WaShburn games draw little
better than high school games. In
fact, if the high school had the same
facilities that Washburn has, high
school football would predominant.
The Only Chance.
1t is understood that Coach Gray s
contract expires this year. If it is re-
newed, it should be understood that
he will devote all of his time to the
college, and he should insist that he
be given a salaried man to look after
the business affairs of his team.
Unless these things are done, and I'M
less a scouting system is put in force
like the systems used in other insti-
tutions, then Washburn may give up
hope of ever again being a big factor
in Missouri Valley football.
Last year the Ichabods lost two val
liable men in Bob Gray and Cot He'll,
simply because there was not enough
influence at the school to bring them
back and help them arrange their
time so that they could keep up their
studies. Also, this year WaShburn
lost a promising player who, after he
had entered school, withdrew and an
nounced that he would enter X. u.
next fall.
Dwight Ream, a star of the 1914
team, and Wayne Cook, the 1911 stu
dent manager, are endeavOring to
work up feeder system that would
send promising material from high
schools to Washburn, and they are
working along the same line that Ne
braSka and other schools use. But,
unless the whole college gets behind
such a system it will not produce very
much, and unless the whole college
wakes up and gets behind athletics,
WaShburn will remain permanently
where she now is-among the tail
enders in the Kansas conference.
