"Hush! DON'T Talk 50 LoudI"

Exactly; I've got to have some
rino right away, and it's up to you to
see that I'm heeled. You know where
the stuff is, and how to get it quick"
II wouldn't dare use that money
yet; haven't even opened the bag"
'sThe hi you wouldn't! You are
goin' to cop off enough to pay that
note tomorrow, amt you7 That's
what you promised the girl. Well, I'm
just as important as she is, I reckon,
and I'm goin' to have my share, you
bet, or else I'll make it hot for you
I'll say that"
"You haven't nothing but your OVID
word"
Saint 1! Say, Wine, don't be
fool; there are others beside US that's
got g nose in this affair. There's a
saloonkeeper down on Sixth avenue,
named Costigan, who's got all o Har-
ris' dope, an he's goin' to keep on
the trail. Then there's another fel-
low who's liable to raise hi. amt
got him exactly placed yet, but he's
the guy that led up to Harris being
killed. I'm the only one what knows
that, an I amt talked before"
"Who is he-a detectiveY
Maybe; Harris called him Severn.
They got the guy down into Costgan's
and the three Of us slugged him.
They patched him up, and then locked
him into a back room over In my
place. The next morning they was
goin' to give him the third degree.
Then with him safe, Harris went after
this girl, thinking she would be made
to talk. I didn't want to trouble with
Harris, ner Costigan either for the
matter Of that-they're both Of 'em
bad actors
"Well, then, what happenedr
That's mostly guess-work. They
had this guy Severn locked in upstairs.
He was unconscious when we dumped
him there, and later, when my wife
got this girl to come over-they was
raised In the same town-Harris he
turned the key ON her. They was aim
ing to bring them together the next
morning, but somehow Severn must
have woke up, an got out O. the
room, for the next thing know'd he
was fghtin' Harris out in the ball, an
after that 1 found the girl had skipped
c,,t dnrIn' tho fracaS"
"They both got .awayT
Clean, leaving Harris behind with
his skull busted; deader than door
nail when got to him."
"And you don't know who this
Severn is or what he is up tor
mo, 1 don't, Wine, but he's sure got
some game on, an he's got my goat.
He's in with the girl all right, and
knows too d-n much. That's what
makes me leery about her being here
pumpin' you"
"She didn't pump me-"
"You mean to say the two Of you
didn't talk about Alva?'
I'VE talked about him, Of course;
we couldn't help it, but she never
hinted at nothing, and she didn't ask
no questions. Only it seems they've
found out one thing that hain't been
reported by the police-she knew
what he was killed with"
whats that! She told you what
stuck himT'
you bet she did; she had one OF
'em herself, an took it out Of her
hat, and put it right down here -2p

J. r. BEEN Was Held In Wichita
Unconscious Five DAYS

When J. r. BEEN, said to be a
wealthy farmer living near Abilene,
Kan, recovered consciousness FIVE
days after being drugged In Wichita
he found he had been married dur
ing his period Of Inconsistencies,
had decided away his farm and had
been robbed Of more than $1,000 In
cash, several diamonds and an eight
cylinder car. All Of this took place
eight days ago and the victim Is In
Wichita hospital recovering from the
effects Of the drug.
The story. which became known
through a friend he met upon his ar
rival in Wichita, was told Sunday.
It is said that the friend took
BEEN to a rooming house In the first
block on North Emporia avenue on
Saturday, eight days ago, Tor a
drink. One led to another and soon
Beem's consciousness left him. For
i've days he was kept unconscious
by various means, 1t is said, but on
Thursday he recovered conscious
ness. Upon awakening he found a

STUBS HAS CATTLE LOSSES
Former Governor Says He Will det
Through Safely

Kansas City Post: When the bot
tom fell out of the prices OF farm
products recently two prominent
Kansas families were involved in fl
nancial difficulties that will result
in losses which may total more than
100000.
Those in whose affairs crisis
has been precipitated by economic
conditions are w. Roscoe Stubs,
former governor Of Kansas, and the
Pettyjohn family Of Olathe.
A petition in bankruptcy for l.. j.
Pettyjohn & Co., mortgages and In
vestment, was filed in the federal
court at Topeka Monday by creditors
who hold unsecured notes aggregat-
ing approximately 100000. Their
business runs into millions and they
are sponsors for an insurance COM
pany at Olathe.
w. Il. Kemper, chairman OF the
board Of directors, Of the National
Bank Of Commerce, said Monday he
had conferred with Ex-Governor
Stubbs several times recently and
that 1t hSa been apparent TOT W
days that the losses would be heavy,
although Stubs believes he will be
able to pay his debts and save more
than 100000 out Of the wreckage.
However Mr.. Kemper stated that
all the Kansas City banks holding
paper expected to suffer losses.
Mr.. Stubs denied reports that
his losses would wipe out his fortune
IT have hundreds Of thousands Of
dollars worth Of property over and
above any losses I sustained" he
declared.
The former governor declined to
give an estimate Of his losses as a re-
suit of the slump in the cattle mar
ket, but spoke lightly Of the report
that his losses would total 5000.
He declined to discuss the amount
Of his loans from local banks. He
reiterated several times that his for
tune was not seriously impaired, and
declared he would come out In line
shape.

! WRITES FROM SANTA ANNA .
: A&AAAAAAAA & q q q q 1

Ceorpe J. Marble writes the fol-
lowing letter to the Reflector from
Santa Anna, Calf. He formerly
made his home with Mrs. w. II. Spi-
dell in Abilene:
Mr. and Mrs. Chas. spidell and
Mr.. George Herren. Mrs. Spiders
father are here after a trip from
Abilene last September in their Ford.
They reached here Sept. %, Mr. Spi-
dell's birthday safe and sound. !
reached here Nov. "a and went TO
work a week later. Mr.. Spideii Is
working at his trade as plasterer,
making $15 for 8 hours work ana !
make 50 as tender for the plasterers.
We are working for one OF the nm
.st contractors in Santa Anna, A. W..
sheets. n man well liked by every
body. -,
Santa Anna is a lively place OF
about 10000 and great place Tor
oil, At Brea, 10 miles from here
there are 80 wells operated and ut
Huneton Beach another place nearby
there IL also lots Of oil. The towns
are all close together, settled at dis
tances ranging from to miles.
The town of Orange Is B miles from
santa Anna and Long Beach about
% miles away. There are many
beautiful parks to which tourists can
90 Many Of them abound In beau
tiful flowers of which there are hun
dreds of kinds. Lemon Heights
which is about 1900 feet above here
is a grand place. All one can see
IN every side Of these heights are
lemon groves. Last Sunday we
drove to Orange County Park which
covers 100 acres. 1t was donated to
Orange county by Jas. r. Ervine IN
1879. In 1t are some OF the largest
trees ever saw, from 1 foot to 6h
feet in diameter. There are all KINDS
of amusements, especially for emil
dren.
Jan. 20 Is Kansas Day at Long
Reach and you bet we all are going
to be there with sunfower to repre-
sent our native state. There are to
be lots of people there from all parts
Of the state. We are always glao
to meet some one from Kansas aho
MANY times we pass car on the
highway and they see our Kansas
banner, then call out "Hurrah 1o'
Kansas" There are people IRON
every state in the union out here t.
spend the winter. And speaking OF
good roads, out here they are SURE
fine, One can travel from the ex
IRENE southern part to the northern
boundary line and never get or th'
paved highway.
BY the way I forgot to mention
about our return trip from Orange
county park in regard to the lemons
We passed piles of lemons heaped
on the ground, about six cars In al
for which the ranchers couldn't hno
market. Anyone who passes heipS
himself. At the stores lemons are
offered for 10 cents dozen but there
Is no sale for them. Oranges mere
are selling from Is to 20 cents
dozen, the same kind that are selling
in Abilene for 60 cents. English
walnuts are 20 cents pound or two
pounds for 35 cents
At Alhambra, short distance
from Los Angeles, there Is grape
vine which covers one acre. That
sounds out Of reason but 1t Is an alb
solute fact.
New Years day at Pasadena they
celebrated their annual Flower Day.
In the parade were $50 floats, max
ing a procession three miles long.
The Elks club took the prize for the
best decorated float. There were
$4,000 visitors there for the celebra-
| ton.
