Burglar Didn't Worry Over
Noises He Was Making.
Worked Two Houses in Order
Here Last Night.

Bold and yet more bold are the
burglars of Topeka. They fear not
where they tread. nor have they any
particular amount of care whether the
householders hear them or not. In
fact they are almost modern Bayards.

famous Chevaliers code of honor.
An instance in point is the invasion
of the house of James MacCauley,
1853 Western avenue, Tuesday night,
1t was about 8 o'clock in the morn

roomer in the MacCauley home, heard
a noise downstairs.
Mrs. Mcdowell heard loud footsteps
in the rooms downstairs, and after a
time she heard a piece of furniture
knocked to the floor. This seemed to
have no daunting effect on the in
truder, for he proceeded up the stairs
in a few minutes and tried the handle
of the door to Mrs. McDowell's room.

But he was not so much afraid after
all. He went to the house next door
and tried to get in by cutting a screen.

In the MacCauleyl home the burglar
rifled a desk in one of the downstairs
rooms and succeeded in unearthing a

SHIPPING TO MARKET
Abnormal Conditions In Livestock in
Kansas, Mercer Says

An abnormal condition in the live
stock industry in Kansas is being
created at present. according to Joe
Mercer, state livestock commissioner,
by the heavy shipments of cattle to
markets and simultaneous shipments
to grazing lands in western Kansas
and states farther south-Oklahonia,
Texas and the Panhandle country.
The natural result of these move
ments, it is pointed out. is to deplere
the feed yards on the farms and stock
ranches where cattle ordinarily are
being placed for fattening at this time
of year.
''The movement of cattle to the
cheaper feed zones is something ou-
of ordinary" said Mr.. Mercer, ~con-
sidering the volume of these ship
ments. Because of the uncertainEnar
ket prices and the high cost of feed
ing cattle, cattlemen are compelled 10
either sell their stock or move them
to cheaper feed. Within a few months

10 STRUCTURES; SPEND $751;

An extensive program OF bridge
and culyert building in Grady coun-
ty has been outlined by the commits.
sicners who have authorized the ex-
penditure of more than $4,000 for
the construction of bridges and cul-

the county
There are 19 bridges and culverts
provided in the appropriations, the
smallest being a l2 foot tower arch

priations coming from the funds of

The Washita river bridge IS one
that has been talked for several
years and will, it is pointed out be
one of the most used structures of
