SHE SUES COUNTY
North Topeka Woman Wants
$500 Reward for s. Porter.
Claims Against Alleged Actions
of Deputy Sheriffs..

Suit against the Shawnee county
commissioners, claiming the $3.50 re-
ward offered for information leading
to the arrest and conviction Of Samp-
son Porter, has been fled in the dis
trict court by Quenniey Weatherly, q
woman living north of North Topeka
Her petition claims that Porter's ar
rest resulted from information fur
nished by her to the sheriff's' office.
Porter was arrested last June after
eluding the officers for six months aft
err the ling Of Frank Bayless, for
Which he subsequently was convicted
in the district court. He is now in
the state penitentiary.
According to the claims Of the
plaintiff in the suit, at the time the
reward was offered Porter was con-
cealing himself in the country and on
certain dark and stormy nights he
made trips to Topeka. She, knowing
Of this. went to the court house and
gave the information to J. j. Holman,
she claims.
She says that Holman came to her
house on a certain night when Porter
made a trip to the city and followed
the hunted man to a place in the First
ward where the arrest took place.
Prior to the arrest, she claims that
Holman told her that the reward would
be awarded her and after the arrest.
shortly before the trial in the district
court, the deputy sheriff told her that
she was to receive hundred dollars of
the money but the remainder would go
to him, the deputy. According to her
claims she refused his offers. She also
alleges that the deputy sheriffs induced
Dave Woodall to claim the reward be-
cause he could be induced by county
officials to pay a portion of the re-
ward to them.
The county reward offered by the
commissioners has never been paid
owing to conflicting claims made by
different persons who claim they were
instrumental in securing the arrest OF
Porter

AS Owen stepped into the den, the
sight of the bull terrier tied to the
wall caused him to smile.
II see we have the main ingredient
of the repast in hand" he said
The main ingredient and the most
dangerous" said Wallace. "He has
done nothing but howl and bark night
and day. May we kill him."
Not yet answered Owen. ut is
possible that she might demand sight
of him before entering the house or
some nonsense of that sort. | would let
him howl little longer" said Owen
Very we'll" laughed Wallace. what
orders have you for today, sir?"
The other counterfeiters kent stead
lily on at their work over the melting
pots, the molds and stamping ma
chimes. The aged crone was stacking
half dollar pieces at the table.
Why do you have the woman here?"
demanded Owen suddenly.
To prevent starvation answered
Wallace. Carrie is not only our pur-
asing agent, but our excellent cook. "
The bag looked up for a moment
with a cackle of appreciation then
bent again to her work.
Can she write?" asked Owen.
Yes"
Well, then, she can help us. Here
is an advertisement which appears in
the morning papers"
He presented a newspaper clipping
to Wallace, which read"
LOST-A fine white bull terrier
Finder will receive liberal re-
ward if dog is returned to Pau
line Marvin, Castle Marvin, n. Y.
What do you want Carrie to do?"
asked Wallace
Answer the advertisement. Just
call her over here"
The bag laid down the COMES she

woman to take his chair. Owen die

narrow roadway into the cover of the
woods, and, with his companions got
out Owen rode on ahead of them,
but was waiting for them as they
neared the little foot path gate to the
Marvin grounds.
Leaning on his motorcycle, he spoke
to Balthazar.
Look through the hedge there"
Balthazar crawled on his hands and
knees to the box wall surrounding the
grounds. He thrust his shoulders
through the bush and gazed at the
dog devouring Pauline's bonbons on
the bench.
81 should say it would be well to
act now-instantly, master" cried the
gypsy turning.
Go on. l will be at the house, and
will try to hold them back if there
is any noise"
AS owen began to wheel his cycle
up the drive to Castle Marvin. Bal
thazar and his two aides wriggled
through the hedge-row, crossed q strip
of sward and reached the bench.
Balthazar caught the dogs head in
his powerful hands. There was not a
sound. The animals muzzle was shut
fast and in minute it had been tied,
leg and body They ran to the gate
to the runabout, and were away.
why, Harry, | cant find him any
whore. What could have happened to
him?" cried Pauline rushing into the
library
"Owen lost? Thank Heaven" he ex-
claimed fervently.
mo; Cyrus, my new dog that Lucille
sent me. Harry, it's your fault He
was angry because you pushed him off
the bench and he ran away"
Polly" he said, wheeling in his
chair Il am NOT worried. l decline
to be worried And | am going away
from here"
Not before you help me find Cyrus
"Yes--long before"
She turned and whisked GROSSLY out
Of the room.
Harry picked UP his hat and coat,
and in few minutes was being driven
away by Farrell on an urgent call to
town.
Pauline stood on the veranda and
watched his departure with silent
wrath.
Il wonder if he is really cruel-or
if he is just man and doesn't
know any better" she pondered audib-
ly
Raymond Owen came, with SWING
ing stride from the side path.
oh; Owen, won't you help me? I've
lost Cyrus!"
Cyrus? Am l sure whom you mean
All, yes; the new member of our fam
lily circle"
Yes; he's gone"
The only thing | should say, is to

he'll be back"
Thank you Owen"
| She did not notice that he return
ed toward the garage by the way he
had come, instead of going to the Ii
| brary phone. She had been brought
up to regard Owen as the persoR'who
took charge" of all things, and when
he said he would get back her dog she
| took it for granted and her worries
were obliterated.
The reason why Owen did not go to
the telephone was that h" had sent the
advertisement several hours before.
He had reason to believe 1t would
