CLAIMS LIQUOR TRUNK
Topeka Waitress Is Arrested for Vio-
lating Bone Dry Law.

Patience on the part of city and
county officers was rewarded Friday
night when, after thirty days, a new
trunk was claimed at the Santa Fe
baggage room. Today Annie Shutter,
a waitress, was arrested upon a war
rant charging her with violating the
bone dry law. 1 was she who pro-
duced the check that released the
trunk from the railway company.
More than a month ago a brand
new trunk was un1oaded from a Santa
Fe train. Somewhere along the line
it had been handled roughly and there
was a steady drip, drip, drip from
one corner of it. The drip had
strong aroma and an officer noticed
it. He labeled it whisky. No one
claimed the trunk that day.
From that time on the trunk has
been under surveillance. Late Friday
night the check calling for that par
ticular trunk was handed to the bag
gage man and the trunk was taken
away. Someone followed it and it
went to 303 East Second street, up
stairs. In it the officers found two
cases of pints-4S pints. And it was
whisky.
Miss Shutter admitted it was her
room where the trunk was placed and
expressed surprise today when she
found it had disappeared, but she
maintained ignorance as to its con-
tents. She declared a Santa Fe man
had had it placed there. Miss
Shutter was arrested by county Off
GERS but Chief Harvey Parsons says
he is of the opinion that she has
merely been used by someone else.

F. w. Dawdy, probation officer, and

start out on hunt today for 14-year-
old Charles Dangers, who has been
missing for two weeks. They will go
to Lawrence first. That is where
Wheeler left dangers with another
boy a week ago.
dangers and Wheeler ran away
from Topeka two weeks ago and went
to Kansas City. They spent all their
money and beat their way back on
a freight train as far as Lawrence.
Wheeler came on home, but dangers
had formed an acquaintance with an
other boy and refused to come. Blan-
gers had never been away from home
night before he went to Kansas City

of Topeka and has been a rural car

the familiar haunts down on Crane
street, Topeka, Kan. were calling.
They put out feelers. In the current
language of the press dispatches they
made peace overtures. They had
their Topeka visitors tip it off where
Topeka police might learn of it that
they might come back
The police said nothing and after
long wait Bee and Johanna loaded
their household belongings into a
freight car and billed it to Topeka.
Bee came first. Officers met him with
open arms and he was welcomed at
the county Jail on the old felony
charge. Then the officers waited for
Johanna and the household goods.
The latter came but Johanna never
has.
The officers were satisfied that when
the Adamses left Kansas City to stay
they would stock up with liquor. Since
early morning Officer Cook has been
working in overalls in that freight
car. Just before noon he discovered
six quarts of whisky and a quart of
champagne wrapped up in bed cloth
ing. He has searched only half the
car and expects to find more before
his work is completed.
