PRISONERS REMOVED
FROM JAIL
AUTHORITIES FORCED TO TAKE
CONVICTS OUT OF KAN
SAS PENITENTIARY.
Lansing, Kas., Jan. 80.-Nine
coaches, composing a special train to
convey the Oklahoma prisoners from
the Kansas state penitentiary here to
McAlester, Vinita and Atoka, Oklaho
ma where they will be incarcerated
in the county jails, left Lansing at
noon today. The convicts, numbering
in all 844, 16 of whom are women were
shackled together in pairs, those in
clined to be unruly being chained in
groups.
The removal of the prisoners today
grew out of an official investigation
started by Miss Kate Barnard, sup
erintendent of prisons and charities
in Oklahoma who charged that the
Oklahoma convicts were cruelly
treated. Following the investigation
Kansas refused to renew its contract
with Oklahoma for the care of their
convicts. T'he old contract ended to
day and Oklahoma officials were
forced to remove the convicts, not
withstanding Oklahoma has no state
penitentiary in which to house them.

the company which is pending in the

Afar o'er the snow-tinted land!

And still the sweet fire of thy breast!
Thy dove, newly burdened, will bear
with all speed
The answer thy lips have caressed.

Sage Advice.
As stated In another place, lF: S.
Calbick yesterday killed a big moun
tain lion at a single shot from a 22
caliber target pistol. That should not
encourage the average person to take
any such chances. While these "22"
artists say it is nothing to kill a full
grown mountain lion with a single
shot from such a small caliber gun or
pistol, If you think of going out after
lions take something a little more
powerful than a 22. If you should
happen to hit the lion where the little
bullet would only tickle him a little,
he might make things decidedly inter
esting; and while your being clawed
up by one of the big cats would make
sensational news, it might not be so
pleasant for you.-Inter-Lake.

I made a ride of 90 miles in nine

"Are you not afraid, general, that
