TRUCK DEMOLISHED BY TRAIN
Two Men Jump in Time to Save
Their lives.

A motor truck owned and driven
by Chester E. Fleck of Belvue, and
loaded with freight for merchants of
Belvue and Wamego, was struck by
Union Pacific passenger train No. los.
at the second crossing west of Silver
Lake. about AIS o'clock Tuesday af-
ternoon, and completely demolished.
Fleck and Charles James, of Ross
Vile. who was riding with him, jump
ed In time to save their lives and came
out unhurt, but Fleck, who was in To-
peka this afternoon, said the engine
carried the truck away the instant he
hit the ground. Fleck says that
neither of them saw the train until 1t
was nearly on them and declares they
would have been killed had he at
tempted to clear the track. James
did not see the train until Flick told
him to jump. Even then they would
have been killed, Flick says, If they
hadn't jumped toward the train. Had
they jumped the other way he says
the truck would have been hurled
against them before they could get
away.
Fleck has operated a truck line be-
tween Wamego and Belvue and To-
peka for several years bringing loads
of produce to the Seymour Packing
company each morning and returning
in the afternoon with freight from
the local wholesale houses for the
merchants of those two towns. He
also was in the habit of furnishing
Belvue with ice. He said today he
had about 1000 pounds of freight on
the truck when it was struck by the
train. This was strewn along the
track for a distance of 200 yards. Both
truck and merchandise were totally
destroyed and there was no insurance
on either.
II carried every kind of insurance
in the world on my truck except col
lisior." said Fleck. but admitted he
was glad to escape with his life. TT
was the closest call 1 ever had" he
said.

WHEAT MARKET IMPROVES

Tightening of World Supply Sends
Chicago Prices Sharply Upward.
Chicago, Sept. THE wheat mar
ket took a sharp upward turn short
ly before noon today with prices at a
new high mark
The prospective reduction of over
thirty million bushels in the Austral-
ian crop as compared with last year
induced a great deal of buying as the
trade construed it as indicating a
tightening down of the worlds sup
ply and demand situation.
September wheat touched $3.50;
December S1.32A and May $1.S9H
These prices were &c to &c higher
than the opening day.

W. G. M'ADOO VISITS Topeka
Former Secretary of Treasury Was
on Way to Newton.

william G.. McAdoo, former secre-
tary of the treasury and director gem
eral of railroads during the war, spent
five minutes in Topeka this morning.
He was on his way to Newton, where
he spoke this afternoon at a celebra-
ton of the fiftieth anniversary of the
founding of the town.
McAdoo, who held the Democrat
national convention deadlocked in
San Francisco last year, came to Kan
sas today on the Santa FEES California
Limited from Chicago. None of the
state political leaders were at the
station this morning to welcome the
leader and son-in-law of the former
president. Reports had indicated
McAdoo would come to the state on a
later train. His arrival on the limited

After presenting him 20 her guests,
Mrs. Parker slipped aft to the galley to
make fresh pot of tea, and when she

NfACK, N. Y, July 23.-Fannie Ter
williger went home with her mother
tonight after twelve years in the
Syracuse State Hospital for Mental De-
fectives.
And for the homecoming her mother
had prepared again the favorite des-
sert of the girls childhood, a black
berry pie. 1t was with this news that
she strove to break the tension of the
moment for which she had waited for
twelve years-the moment when the
court would give her permission to
take her daughter back home to live.
Tears come easily to women under
such circumstances, but not words that
reveal their real feelings.
So when Mrs. Fannie Drake helped
her twentyone year old daughter into
her automobile in front of the Supreme
Court chambers here to-day, all she
said was:
Listen, darling, you've been a long
time away from home, but mother has
not forgotten what you like. There's
up, Frank, and get that car started"
The tears had all been shed earlier
in the proceedings, when Mrs. Drake
rushed up to her daughter in the court
room, in the charge of an attendant
from the state institution, and crushed
her to her heart, for the first time in
twelve years.
my girl! My girl!" she sobbed. "11l
get you back. The good judge will let
me take you home"
Fannie Terwiliger, the child of Mrs
brakes first husband, was only ninc
years old when she was taken to the in
stitution and her stepbrother, Frank,
was also nine. Now, however, Frank
earns good salary in Newburg car
pet factory and wants his sister to
brother, eight years old, who has never
seen his sister.
Mrs. Drake told Judge Hopkins on
the stand that when Frank became sue
cessful at the carpet factory he insist
ed that his mother give up working and
devote he- time to making a home for
him and his little brother.
The little family circle was not com
plete, however, without Fannie, and the
mother, living in the comforts of her
pretty apartment in Newburgh, never
was doomed to the routine of an insti-
tuition.
She never had been allowed to see
her daughter, she told the judge, and
had met with opposition from the au-
thorities when she tried to have her
released, although it had been stated
that the girls mental condition was
now such that it was safe for her to
leave the institution Mrs. Drake a2-
pealed to the judge for the custody of
her daughter.
II want her back, judge" she sobbed
II will look after her and see that she
lives a good life. She will be cared
for and have good home to live in, in
stead of an institution. Please judge.
let her come home"
"Take her." said Judge Tompkins,
"she is yours, Mrs. Drake, take her
now and we will fix up these papers
later. You want Fannie. Be good to
her and the best of luck to you both"

Contest Brought Over Will
OF DIR. Burchard's Stepson

Relatives of DR.. Samuel D. Burchard,
of Rum, Romanism and Rebellion"
fame, are figuring in a will contest, it
became known at the Surrogate's Of
fee yesterday. The contest is over the
will of William ]. Leeds, stepson of
DR.. Burchard, who died on June 6 last.
He was in the wholesale coffee bust
ness as Burchard & Co.. at 265 Wash
lngton Street. In his will he asked to
the grave next to that of DIR. Burchard.
William j. Leeds, q nephew of the de-
ceased, is bringing the contest, charg-
ing that his namesake and uncle was
incompetent and unduly influenced
when the will was made.
