MADE CUTTING ADVANCES
Roy StaIons Wounded Over Eye
and on Hand by Knife welded
by Carl Burgan.

Now that spring is here, Carl Bur
gan, Santa F'e fireman, is no longer
in need of a heating stove so he was
willing that the Stalons Furniture
company, 315h Kansas avenue.
should take it back. he told Roy Sta
Ions Wednesday afternoon when the
latter called to ask him about making
payment on the heater, according to
the story told to Tinkham Veale, as
sistant county attorney. by Stalons this
morning Stalons says he took Bur
gan at his word and hired Dave Will
liams to go with him to Burga n s
house, 304 Monroe street. to get the
stove. That was this morning.
But when the men had taken the
stove out on the porch. Stalons said.
Burgan appeared and began to curse
him and "call him names" Altho
BUrgan was a much larger man. Stall
ons said he told him: II don't take
that off Of anybody and I'm not going
to take it off you. Come out in the
street and we'll see which is the best
man"
Burgan then retired to the house
and reappeared again with a long
butcher knife and followed Stalons to
the street. according to the latter. In
the melee that followed. Stalons re-
ceived a cut over the left eye and his
thumb. he said. was nearly severed
from his hand. He stated that when
Williams. the driver. tried to interfere.
Burgan told him to stand back OF
he'd cut him in two" The furniture
man said he finally reached his wagon
where he obtained a monkey wrench
and prevented his opponent from max
ing further cutting advances toward
him. he said.
Stalons said Burgan had bought the
stove from the furniture company last
winter and had not made the pay
ments on 1t. He swore to a complaint
against the fireman. charging him
with assault with a deadly weapon
StaIons said he finally got away with
the stove.

JURY is OUT TODAY
Deliberations On in Crawford
VS.. MacLennan Suit.
No Early Verdict Looked For
Owing to Instructions.
BULLETIN.

The jury was still out at O'Clock
this afternoon.
At 9 o'clock this morning the jury
began its deliberations in the case in
which L. NJ. and Roy Crawford are
suing Frank P. MacLennan for $4,000
alleged damages for the publication of
an article containing official city and
state reports that the Grand opera
house was unsafe.
The examination of witnesses was
completed late Tuesday afternoon and
the entire day Wednesday was taken
up with arguments OF the attorneys
E. D. McKeever, attorney for Mr.. Mac
Lehman, spoke more than two hours
and a half and the attorneys for the
plaintiffs divided their time, Joseph
Waters finishing shortly before 5
o'clock with a denunciation and a
villification of Frank p MacLennan
editor and proprietor of the Topeka
State Journal, and A. ]. Carruth, jr.,
managing editor.
When the arguments were COM
pleted Judge G: rver instructed the
jury to retire and organize, selecting a
foreman, but told the members they
need not begin their deliberations un-
til this morning at o'clock. An early
verdict was not looked for because the
members of the jury were asked to
answer large number of questions
bearing on the testimony of witnesses
about the wiring of the theater and
the condition of the exits.
No Verdict at Noon.
At noon today the jury returned to
the court room with the announce
ment that no verdict had been
reached. Judge. Carver then dis
missed the jurymen for lunch and they
resumed their deliberations at 1870
o'clock this afternoon.
At noon it was understood the jury
had not answered any of the ques-
tions that are to be answered and
turned in with the verdict. This was
taken to indicate that other questions
on which the members had failed to
agree had been taken up before the
questions were.
