Big MOTOR CAR BURNS.
Third Serious Accident to Lennie
Lyons Last Night.

The big Oldsmobile belonging to
Lennie Lyons burned on South Kansas
avenue last night. It was occupied by
Lyons and Victor DeMulzan, former
chauffeur to Santos Dumont and Har-
ry Thaw. Neither was injured. How
ever, DeMulzan's buster caught on
some of the machinery as he left the
car and was burned off of him.
Lyons has had some thrilling expert
ences since he began driving cars.
Less than a year he was the owner
and driver of a Ford which turned
over west of town, killing one occu-
pant and severely injuring Dick
Cooley
Two weeks ago. while driving in the
night, Lyons neglected to turn with
the road just east of the Industrial
school and plunged off the high en-
bankment into Soldier creek. The car
jumped through the top of a willow
tree, struck and bounded forward an
other twenty-five feet before burying
itself in the mud. That was the same
car which burned up last night.

New Motor From Leavenworth
Arrives Nearly on Time.
Brings About 40 Persons From
Along the Line.
OSkAL0OsA TAKES THE LEAD
Every Town Contributed a
Group of Passengers.
A Sunday Service Probably
Will Be Added Later.

Running practically on schedule
time, the new Leavenworth & Topeka
Railway company's motor car made
its maiden" trip today from Leaven-
worth. Several slight delays incident
to handling a new machine, were re-
sponsible for the motor cars inability
to reach the terminal here on time. An
inspection of the motor following its
arrival here this morning disclosed
several minor defects that were rem
edied and no further difficulty is eX-
pected, it was announced
Between 35 and 40 passengers were
carried on the weStbound trip this
morning. A half dozen persons board
ed the train at Leavenworth- Other
towns along the line contributed pas
sengers. The heaviest business was
obtained from Oska1oosa. McLouth
and Ozawkie followed close behind.
The new motor is in charge of En-
gineer G. A. Kelley of Topeka, form
erly connected with the Atchison. To
peka & Santa Fee railway and the Hi
nois Central. Before o'clock this
afternoon, Mr.. Kelley announced that
the motor was in readiness for the re-
turn trip to Leavenworth at O'Clock.
w. A Austin, receiver for the Leav-
enworth & Topeka, was enthusiastic
this morning over the first run of the
new motor. 1T is brand new" he de-
clared, land it was inevitable that it
run slightly behind schedule. A little
tuning up, however, has put the motor
in shape that we expect will eliminate
any more delays"
May Be Sunday Service.
AS soon as the service is firmly
established, it is probable that Sunday
service will be inaugurated, Mr.. Austin
announced today. Under present ar
engagements the motor is operated
daily except Sundays.
On the success of the new motor de-
ponds the fate of the Leavenworth &
Topeka line, say Topeka railraod men.
Heretofore the road has operated only
one mixed train which has failed to
pay expenses. AS result of the huge
deficit of the raod, Judge Pollock of
the United States district court recent
~ appointed Mr.. Austin receiver.
Should the road fail to pay expenses
after a reasonable period, it in all
proba bility will be sold, railroad men
here declare. Judge Pollock in APP
pointing Mr.. Austin advised him that
expenses of operating the line must
be met from the revenues of the COM
panY.
