The Words "Fracture of the Brain" May Send Edward Rousell to Prison. The following interesting story, in which Franklin county figures, is being published by various newspapers: The charge against Edward Rousell of Lawrence, against whom information is filed in the United States district court, alleging fraudulent use of the United States mails, brings to light a peculiar story. Early in 189G, a councif of the Fraternal Aid society, a beneficiary insurance organization, was instituted at Peoria, Franklin county, Kas. On its list of members was the name of James M. Ritchey, supposed to be a commercial traveler.

He appeared to have been regularly initiated, examined by a physician, and to have taken out an insurance policy for 53,000. The assessments were promptly paid on the policy until June of the same year, wnen it was reported that Ritchey had been severely injured in a runaway at Badito, from tho effects of which he died. In due time, proof of death was filed with the officers of the association, duly ceritified before an alleged notary public at Pictou, and it was asked that the insurance be sent to Mrs. Mary T. Wright, a sister of Ritchey.

The death certificate said that Ritchey came to his death by "fracture of the brain." Dr. Horner, the general medical examiner, through whose inspection the proof passed, thought that no physician would use such an expression and he became suspicious. He wrote to the supposed notary, but the letter was returned unopened. He then wrote to the postmasters at both Badito and Pictou, asking concerning the accident and those who signed the death certificate. Both postmasters replied that no such accident had ever occurred in that vicinity and that they had never heard of the pesrons mentioned.

Further investigation showed that James M. Ritchey was an imaginary being and thpt the entire transaction was a fraud. W. T. Walker of Minneapolis, president of the order, and Dr.

Horner suspected Rousell of perpetrating the fraud and brought the matter before the general council at Wichita, in February, 1897, but no action was taken and Rousell was re-elected general sec retary by a vote of 31 to 19. Walker and Dr. Horner then placed the letters and documents 'into the hands of a United States postoffise inspector and Rousell was arrested for the fraudulent use of The case was brought up at Leavenworth last November, but was continued to the present term.

A Franklin county farmer who has owed him a bill since 1889 came in a day or so ago and paid the bill, saying that his wife had re cently been cured by the faith cure process. "I won't need any more doctors in my house now, so I thought I'd pay you all off." The man's wife has been suffering for many yeais and has occasional spells when her disease seems to leave her entirely.

Her hus band, who has recently become a faith cure convert, believes that the malady has gone this time to stay.

OTTAWA, KANSAS. GOOD VICTORY FOR 0. U. BOYS They Defeat the Washburn Team Saturday Evening in a "Well Fought Contest. An interesting battle took place on the diamond at the university campus Saturday and Ottawa again came off with flying colors.

Kennedy fanned the first two men Ottawa put up, and the third didn't reach first base. The second inning Gill fanned two men, Frisby made a safe hit, and Rob inson was out at nrst. Kennedy fanned one, Dubach got base on balls.

Eby and Mammel were out at first. The third inning was a repetition of the second except Hester got another fly. In the fourth C. Davis got a fly and two men were out on bases. Worsley and Frisby caught flies, and Dubach was out on second.

In the fifth Washburn made a pretty double play. In the sixth Findley, Stahl and Ire lan tallied for Washburn, Hester got to third for Ottawa, but the fanning process prevented his coming in. In the eighth Washburn changed pitchers. The crowd took this as a rallying point and kept up an enthusiastic yelling to the end. Washburn tallied two, and Ottawa tallied seven.

In the ninth Gill fanned three men, leaving Ottawa a victory as shown by the score. Coleman of Baker umpired, and to an unprejudiced mind his course was distinguished by fairness. COLL.EGE NOTES.

Maude Paul, a girl about 11 years old, was before the police judge this morning on the charge of having assaulted Belinda Rush, who is 11 years old.

After hearing all the evidence, the judge concluded that the proper person had not been arrested and dismissed the girl. The trouble was nothing more than a quarrel between the two children. During some switching at. the yards last night the switchmen were startled by a wild scream for help as the engine struck a coal car that was coupled to a flat car which was loaded with lumber. They hurriedly went to the car whence came the screams and found a man pinioned against the end of the lum- 1 -w-w oer car Dy me mmoer.

lie was a tramp and had probably boarded the car to steal a ride. When the car was struck the lumber slid according to the law of inertia, and jambed the hobo against the end of the car. A monkey wrench was procured and the end of the car taken out before the frighten ed fellow could be released. He disap peared as soon as he was taken H. L.

T. Skinner, of the gas commit tee, received a letter this morning from Li. C. Beatty, a well known gas expert at Iola. In relation to the question as to whether it would be ad visable to re-open the old well, Mr Beatly says that he would go at least as far away as GOO feet and farther if practicable.

The old well being im properly plugged has doubtless let the water in and driven the gas away Continuing Mr. Beatly says, "From your description of the handling of the old well, it could not have been worse if the man had tried to make it as bad as he could." Mr. Beatly gave several instances in which good gas prospects have been destroyed by an inflow water. Indeed' so much of an evil has this become that the state legislature has made certain laws prescribing the manner in which wells shall be plugged to prevent this. J.
