COT OFF LIGHT
Two Boys Accused of "Peeping
Tom" Stunts.
Shots Exchanged When They
Were Caught In Act.

Stories of "Peeping Toms" who
have been a constant worry to resi-
dents in the 500 block on West Sew
enth street came to light today in the
court of Topeka when two boys, Harry
Vogel,l71S Polk street, and Earl Yew-
dali, HOS Western avenue, appeared
to answer a charge of disturbing the
peace. George A. Clark, 514 West
Seventh street, was the complaining
witness.
Clark charged that a neighbor tele-
phoned to him Tuesday night saying
there was someone peeking in his bed
room window Clark grabbed a re-
volver> and rushed outdoors, giving
chase to man whom he saw near
the house and fired twice. He claims
two shots were fired at him in return.
This is not the first time such COM
plants have been received by county
authorities. One night q niece of
Clark's. living at his house, saw a man
looking in her window while she was
preparing for bed, so the sheriff was
told. Another time a woman who for
merly lived in the Clark house heard
smart remark passed by someone
at bathroom window while she was
taking a bath, according to the
sheriff.
They Saw Two Boys.
AuSn 1dTlIner was passing near the
Clark house when tho shots were fired
and investigated. Clark was outdoors
in his stocking feet at the time and
after he had put on his shoes he ac-
companied the sheriff in a search of
the neighborhood
The men noticed two boys standing
at the corner OF Fifth and Tyler
streets. Larimer shouted to them and
both ran into yard in the block
bounded by Fourth. Fifth. Tyler and
Polk streets. Clark ran to a teie-
phone to call the police while Lari-
mer circled the block in an effort to
keep the lads from escaping until Of
ficers arrived to search the block.
Larimer saw one OF the lads on
Fifth street. He jumped from the
machine and gave chase, shooting
twice into the ground.
The next shot will count" Larimer
shouted.
The lad stopped. He proved to be
piicated Yewdall. the sheriff said. Of
ficers went to the Yewdau home early
this morning and arrested him.
Families Well Known.
The boys. neither more than 20
families and efforts were made this
morning to get Hugh Fisher, county
attorney, to consent to issuing O. war
rant charging them with carrying con-
ceafed weapons. Fisher refused and
offered to issue a disturbance of the
peace warrant. This was done. Upon
the plea of two attorneys defending
the lads. Judge Rad Lee found them
guilty of carrying concealed weapons
and imposed a light fine. Mothers of
the two boys burst into tears while at
torneys were arguing the case.
