HUNTING STOLEN CAR
Chief Parsons Finds Another He Was
Not Looking For.

Buying a second hand Ford and
then finding out that it was stolen has
its disappointment. To Hugh More
land, instructor in the Santa Fe tele-
graph school, living at 1144 Grand
avenue, it was just $500 worth of dis
appointment. Recently Moreland pur-
chased the Ford from a man giving
his name as ]. r. Morgan of Ell Paso,
Texas. Then Chief Parsons got in the
game after receiving a telegram from
a Colorado chief to look out for a
car stolen in Colorado and thought to
have been innocently purchased by
Moreland. Chief Parsons investigated
and found that Moreland's purchase
had been stolen from L. E. Collum
of Kansas City. Now Moreland is
wondering about that $500 and Chief
Parsons is looking for the Colorado

He plucked a beautiful flower,

And held it against his face.
Drank in its beauty and bloom,
In the midst of his idle talk;
Then cast it down to the gloom
And dust of the garden walk

As 1t lay in his pathway there:
Then spurned it away with his boot,
Because it had ceased to be fair.

She hid in his strong arms fold;

And spurned was once more told.

'BR|LES SHOT VICTIMS
IN ~SELF-DEFENSE. SAYS
DOCTOR HELD TO GRAND JURY
WITHOUT BAIL FOR KILLING
TWO VOOLFOLK BROTHERS.

Ration AZ NJ, May sQ-Dr. g. q
Briles, who shot and killed Fred anC
Paul Voolfolk, neighbors, at his
homestead near Gladstone last week
has been bound over to the grand
jury without bail. This action was
taken by Judge Lieb ION Information
filed by the district attorney.
Or. Briles admits the killing Of the
two men, but pleads self defense. He
says the killing was due to the fact
that the Voolfolk boys had on for,
mer occasions made advances toward
his wife. and that he had warned the
boys never 20 do so again. Mrs.
Briles left the ranch home Wednes-
day morning, going toward Des
Monies. where she went to meet her
husband, who was on his way to the
ranch, and 1t is stated that she gave
him a Winchester rifle and proceeded
on to the home of her parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Hickey, about eight miles
east Of Des Moines. The doctor re-
turned to his ranch and waited there
all afternoon until the Voolfolk boys
came over to his place to attend to
an incubator they had borrowed Of
his wife. which was just Matching
out chicks. Paul was in a dugout at
tending to the incubator when the
doctor accosted Fred, the older broth
er, on the outside. The doctor APP
preached Fred with Winchester rifle
in hand, and the latter, when spok-
en- said: please don't xii me,
doctor" Il am not going to- said
the doctor, only just going to talk
to you,p It is said that in the discus
sion that followed, Fred attempted to
grab the rifle from the doctor, and in
the struggle the rifle was discharged,
the bullet grazing the doctors right
arm. It is stated the doctor says,
Il then pulled my revolver and shot
him." The close range of the re-
volver set fire to Fred's clothing and
he was badly burned from the neck
down to the ankles. The younger
brother, Paul, in the dugout, rushed
out the door, presumably to his bro
theirs assistance, when the doctor
shot him.
