went to that city with them. Later
in 1867 when the Sharp Rifle Co.
located In the place where the Union
Typewriter Co. is now located, he
returned to this city, remaining here
ever since. Circumstances brought
about the going into the trucking
business. When the Sanfortf hat fac
tory was destroyed by fire, Oscar
Acker, a well known truckman at
that time, was killed. His business
offered a good opportunity to Mr.
Luddington, who bought it out. A
few years ago this business was sold
out to Ebenezer S. Phillips. Upon
the solicitation of the Frank Miller
Lumber Co. he was engaged in their
employ, remaining with them until
about four years ago when ill health
forced him to retire from all busi
ness life. He was . a member of the
Washington Park M. E. church,, and
one of the oldest members of St.
John's lodge, F. and A. M. He is
survived by his widow and two
daughters, Mrs. A, A. Conger and
Mrs. E. C. Rowland,- boeh of this
city. Two brothers also survive, E.
C. Luddington - of Glendale, Mass.,
and Henry Luddington of this city.

FRIDAY HALF HOLIDAY.
Movement Inaugurated By Moss and
Krieger Company.
The clerks of the Moss and Krieger
department store must appreciate the
weekly half holiday that will be given
them during the months of .July and
August by the proprietor of the store
I. Moss. This store is one of the first
in town to inaugurate this half holi
day weekly, and it is hoped by many
of the clerks In - the other stores that
their employers' will do the same as
the Moss and Krieger store. The half
holiday will be in order on Friday,
the store closing at one o'clock that
day, on other days at six p. m. and
on Saturday at the usual hour. The
public generally notice when an em
ployer thinks a little of his clerks and
makes work as easy as possible for
them and as a rule business 'does not
suffer a particle owing to a little con
sideration on the part of the "boss."
The customers of this enterprising
store will remember that during the
heated months the store is closed on
Friday - afternoons and will without
doubt, do their buying either the day
before or that morning. All working
people have feeling and the action
on the part of Mr. Moss does not stop
Just ,with his store but will have a far
reaching effect and the thanks of the
working people are due him in start
ing this movement. The motto "Live
and Let Live" is a good one and can
be applied to the proprietors of a store
and his clerks as well as to any other
thing in the world.
ELEVATORS FOR AGED
IX NEW LAKEVIEW.
The aldermanic committee ' appoint
ed to decide upon the future of Lake
view Home and the town farm will
meet this evening at the city hall.
Alderman Jackson who Is a member
of the committee, said this afternoon,
"The idea of the committee is to in
quire into the cost of building modern
structures at the farm that will be
adequate for the future as well as
sanitary and protected against fire.
Among other things we will probably
recommend elevators for the hospital
department and for the ward occupied
by aged people. At present old and
crippled people have to climb the
stairs, and some are not even able to
do so."

Man Forced to Beat Her
Way on Freight Trains
(Special from United Press.)
Belleville, Kas., July 7. Rescued
from a freight train by three tramps
and ' turned over to the local police,
Beatrice Fanning, an attractive 19
year old girl of Toledo, O., told the
officers today a pitiful story of leav
ing her home with a man whom she
said was Cameron Keener, also of
Toledo, of abuse at the hands of the
young man and of being forced to
beat her way on freight trains dis
guised as a man until rescued..
At Topeka the girl told the police
she endeavored to get away . but
Keener choked and beat her , into
submission.
At Manhattan, Kas., Louis Evans
and two other men, who were beat
ing their way to the harvest fields,
got into the same freight car with the
couple. The girl told Evans that
she was a woman and wanted to get
away. Evans told the other men
and when the party got off the car
in the Belleville yards the three men
attacked Keener who fled. To -the
police here today Miss Fanning said:
"Keener boarded at our house in
Toledo. We became engaged. He
said he wanted to be married at the
home of his mother In Colorado. We
left home a month ago. I learned
he did not intend to marry and tried
to escape. He . took my clothes and
gave me some of his to wear. After
we reached St. Louis we beat our
way. ; When we met these men I
didn't care whether he killed me or
not so I told."
DELAXEY BELIEVES FIGHT
PICTURES ARE LEG ITTMATE.
Prosecuting Attorney Delaney of the
city court to whom the police would
look for their advice as to their at
titude in event of an effort to display
the Jeffries-Johnson fight pictures, is
of the opinion that there is nothing
on the statute books of this state that
would prevent the holding of such an
exhibition.
No formal protest against the hold
ing of such a display has been made
to him, ' and . none is likely until the
display, which will undoubtedly be
brought here, is advertised. He is not
crossing any bridges until he reaches
them but he said today that from
a casual examination of the statutes
he believed if such an exhibition is
held here, - and conducted on as or
derly lines as other fight pictures
heretofore shown, there Is no legal
means of preventing them.
, Police Commissioner Kershaw today
said he believed . such an exhibition
would not tend to elevate public mor
als, and he believed it would inspire
the youth of the country to become
prize fighters rather than presidents.
