his name as John Blaqy, is tran
sient and makes his living by sharp
ening razors and knives. He told
of having been at Manhattan on
Thursday and insisted that he had
walked from Coffeyville to Man
haitian. After a cross examination by
G. d. Bischoff, county attorney, and
Deputy Hinchon, he was held on sus-
picion until the officers could COM
municate with the Riley county Of

YOUNG HOPE AUTOIsTS HAD
NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH

The first and most serious part
of the nights escapade in which the
four young people from Hope fea-
tured, has lately come to light. Be-
fore coming to town and doing the
catapult stunt on the Pennington
shop the steering gear of the car
went wrong and sent the car into a
ditch short distance west of Sand
Springs. 1t was at a point where
the wagon road is parallel and very
close to the railroad.
Two of the young men we're
thrown from the car and had it not
been for a telephone post, which
they were thrown against, they
would have went on over the en-
bankment on the railroad tracks
below, in front of an oncoming
freight train, which passed Just a
second after the automobile went |
into the ditch.

Tourists Must Watch Batteries

In a recent bit of information
handed out by the Willard Storage
Battery company to car owners,
special attention was called to over
heated batteries.
An over-heated battery is one of
the worst things that can happen to
a car owner because it may incapa-
citate his entire electrical system.
1t is WELL therefore, for tourists to
observe closely the condition CT
their storage battery before starting
on a tour, as we'll as to test it occa-
sionally enroute.
Over-heating may be caused by
several things. Two of the most
common causes are lack Of water or
over-charging from the generator.
A battery kept full of pure dis
titled water is not nearly so apt to
become over-heated as one in which
the solution has been allowed to
reach level lower than the top Of
the plates. When these plates are
exposed to the air, the oxidation
which goes on bulges and warps
them, causing short circuits and
considerable damage to the entire
battery. This often results in the
entire starting, lighting and igni-
ton system being put out of condi-
ton.
Before starting on trip, the gem
orator should be adjusted to supply
the battery with the proper amount
Of current at high speed, inasmuch |
as the driving is generally faster
when touring. II the generator is
not furnishing current properly, It
should not be experimental with,
but examined by someone who is
to make the proper adj
justment. Only a thorough eleetri-
clan should be given a job Of this
kind, and for that reason the VIII
lard company insists that their sery-
ice stations be conducted only by
experts who thoroughly understand
electrical systems from start TO fin
Ish.
