Damage Estimated $4,000
toS100,000, Several Stocks
Of Goods are Damaged
DEEP CONCERN HERE

Deep concern was felt in Glenwood
Wednesday morning over the news that
the city of Leadville was in flames
and that all efforts to arrest the fire
demon had failed and that buildings
were being destroyed by dynamite in
order to clear the street and save other
property. Later in the day report
was current on the streets that the fire
had spread over two blocks and that
the water supply had frozen up and the
firemen were powerless to render fur
ther aid. Many of our citizens are ac-
quainted in Leadville and some owa
property there and very naturally these
reports created deep concern here.
Fortunately the reports proved to be
considerably exaggerated and when the
facts were learned it was found that a
hal block, consisting of 12 buildings,
had been destroyed, besides several
stocks of goods had been destroyed or
badly damaged. The loss is estimat ed
at more than $4,000 and it is said
there is but slight prospect that the
burnt area will be rebuilt. The Herald
Democrat thus describes the loss:
Where the fire which caused de-
struction of twelve buildings, entailng
$4,000 loss, ragged Wednesday morning,
desolation reigned yesterday. From
the site of the old city hall west to the
site of the harness and tin shops of
Rufe Sarson and Joseph Muller, moth
ing is left but blackened litter #
pipes and burned timbers and the root
less shells of the Moynahan an
o Malta and the j. E. Miller stores to
the west.
Former occupants of the buildings
destroyed and business men on the op-
posite side of the street spent yester'
day in collecting their scattered belong.
ings and checking up their losses. $

BROKE WATER VALVE
Somebody Started a Iiiniature Flood
at the Kiehl Laundry.

The mystery of the broken water
valve or what flooded the basement of
the Kiehl laundry, 1928 Kansas ave-
nue., is the latest question that the
Shawnee county attorneys office is
willing to farm OUT to amateur
sleuths.
The mystery began last week, when
one morning, Mrs. J. W. Kiehl, owner
of the laundry, discovered that a brok
en- valve on a boiler was making a
first class swimming pool out of the
laundry basement. Hastily Mrs. Kiehl
summoned a plumber and after
while the plumber arrived after the
manner that plumbers generally ar
rive-maybe he forgot a wrench or
solder. Then it was discovered that
the valve bore evidence of having been
broken by a blow from a hammer
Rad Lee. deputy county attorney, was
consulted and took charge of the
valve. No arrests have been made and
Mrs. Kiehl is wondering who would
DO such a thing.
In the meantime the broken valve
is decorating the desk of Rad Lee,
where it is being used as a paper
weight.

PARSONS SAVES MONEY
There Is $4,000 to the Good in the
Police Force .Nnd

Elimination of spoilers from the
personnel of +he Topeka police force
since the beginning of the House ad-
ministration has saved the city about
$4,000. At the same time the police
department is sporting g, new police
car and before many days will be
using q new patrol automobile.
When Chief Parsons makes his an
nual repore to the city commission
ers it will show that there is about
$4,000 left over fl ON last year. While
the chief does not admit it it is COM
mon knowledge around the police sta
ton that the saving is made through
the elimination of spoilers and similar
items of expense
Despite the fact that spoilers and
other secret means of locating joint
lists and bootlegGers have been prac-
tically abolished, the number of ar
rests, resulting il. convictions, during
Parsons time of service has been as
large if not larger than under the old
system.
The police department is being
steadily enlarged. 1t is expected that
two new patrolmen will be named
shortly. one appointment to fill the
place of Jack Johnson, who will go
into the fire department. Rumors
that there would be a shakeup in the
force and that Il sergeant would be
fired" soon, were emphatically de-
MED today by Chief Parsons.
