OASTORI A
Sallna Boy Said to Hive Been Mur-
, deied In Oklahoma. '
From Thanday's IHfly 1
The report that Lea Davis, a Sa-w'
Una boy, had been murdered In Ok
lahoma, while tt haa not been con
firmed, bat caused much ' alarm
amonf friends of the missing youth
residing In Abilene. Davit" la cou
sla of Mrs. Charles Dodge of this
city. He left Ballna about a month
ago In company with Frank West,
a friend and has not been heard from
since.
It was reported that Davis had
been killed by bis companion, who
died recently In a. hospital at Okla
homa City, but there seems to be
no foundation for the story.
The following Is taken from the
Ballna Journal: '
The report from Oklahoma City
that Frank West, a Ballna boy, had,
on his deathbed there, confessed to
the murder of Lee Davis, also a 8a-
llna boy, seems to have been due to
somebody's mistake. -
The Journal wired the chief of
police of Oklahoma City for infor-
and received the following reply: ,
"Frank West died here at St. An-
thony hospital Jan. 10. Hade no con
fession about murder. John Hubat-
ka. chief of police,
i. The relatives of Lee Davis living
in Balina will doubtless be greatly re
lieved by this information, for while
!t doea not account for the mysteri
ous absence of Lee Davis, It gives
leasoft to believe that he is still alive.
It is known that Davis left here
with 'West and that Davis had con
siderable money with bim. The rel-
atlves of Davis say that West is a
Uoxlcsu, and they did not like blm.
They tried to persuade Davis not to
go with htm. But the two started off
together, Davis saying they were go-
trg to Abilene, and West telling that
they were going to Kansas City,
ALLEGED MURDERER
DIED NATURAL DEATH.
Frank West Did Not Commit Suicide
as Reported.
(Front Frldy'l Dally.)
According to the Sallna Union, it
now develops that not only were
the rumors that Lee Davis was mur
dered fakes but the report ' that
Frank WeBt was killed is also untrue.
The reports attracted attention in
Abilene owing to the fact that Davis
has relatives here.
Last Saturday the Union wrote to
M. H. Townsend of the Western Pav
ing company of Oklahoma City, ask
ing for particulars of West s .death.
Mr. Townsend knows nothing about
Davis. His letter to the Union fol
lows: "Editor Union: In regards to your
communication of January 21st will
say that Frank West worked for us
about two months and was taken
sick on Christmas day and was sent
to the St. Anthony's hospital in this
city where remained for about
three weeks and where he died,
The complaint from which be died
the doctors stated was stomach and
bowel trouble. ,
In regards to the one thousand
dollar Insurance policy of which you
spoke, will say that I wrote the In-
surance company at Sa'lna, Kansas,
and they answered that he had al
lowed the policy to lapse on Novem
ber 1, 1810. This Is as much In
formation as I can give yoa on the
matter but In ease yon hear any
thing In regards to his relatives it
you will notify me where they re
side I wlU be very much obliged.
M. H. Townsend."

Herlngton, Jan.,27. At the wolf
hunt north of town Frank Clark, the
popular telephone manager, returned
with part of the honors. He drove
through town with A big grey wolf
banging over the back of the buggy,
and smile on his face that would
indicate that something happened Jn
his line. When asked who shot It
for him he replied: "I think It waa
scared to death by the noise of 100
guns and It fell prostrate right at
my feet and died in a nervous
chill."- , -., ; ,'
Mr. J. Ketchler, farmer, killed
another one, making two out of four
that were seen tin the round up. It
estimated that 500 , people were in
the round up and that at least 200
rabbits were killed beside the two
wolves.
The farmers' In the vicinity have
been anxious for something to be
done to get rid of the wolves as they
have been making frequent visits to
the hen houses since early last fall

ty high. .
Another wolf bunt will take place
next Saturday near the same place.

WOMEN'S BEAUTY.
Imperfect Digestion Ceases Bad Com
plexion and Dull Eyes.
The color in your cheeks won't
fade, the brightness In your eye
won't vanish, If you keep your stom
ach In good condition.
Belching of gaa; heaviness, sour
taste In mouth, dizziness, biliousness
and nausea occur simply because the
stomach is not properly digesting the
food.
The blood needs nourishment to
carry vigor, vim and vitality to ev
ery part of the body and when food
ferments in the stomach enough
nourishment Is not supplied.
MI-O-NA stomscl tablets give
stant relief to uaeei stomachs, but
tbey do more; they put strength Into
the stomach and build tt up so that
it can easily digest a hearty meal
without giving Its owner hours of

TO DRAW UP PLANS.
Cornell Takes Decisive Action
garding "sto-m Sewer. - ,
Re
tt (Praa Friday's Oslly.l .
The city council last night Instruct
ed County Surveyor Gny Hall tc
diaw up plans and specifications for
a concrete -storm sewer, 7,503 feet
In length, to run east and south frou
Brady street to the river.
This action was the result of a
preliminary estimate submitted by
Mr, Hall last evening, snowing that
the sewer would cost approximately
$2.00 per foot or $15,000 In all. Mr.
Hall expects to have the plans and
specifications ready to submit to an
adjourned meeting otsthe council to
morrow night.
A letter from Prof. Conrad of the
State Agricultural College, written
last November, was read to the coun
cil, In which he stated; his opinion
as to the probable cost of the pro
ject, the amout named being much
higher than Mr. Hall's ' estimate.
Prof. Conrad added that the data
which had been submitted to him
were very meagre, and that the esti
mate was not' to be considered ac
curate or final, . He was waiting for
additional information from City En
gineer Murdock, :
It was explained that, after the
drainage commission turned down the
whole plan Mr. Murdock did not con
sider It necessary to continue the
correspondence. G. 0. Stent and
M. Glelssner reported that Dean Mc
Cormlck of the Department of Me
chanic Arts at Manhattan had ex
pressed substantially the same opin
ion In their recent conference as was
stated in bis letter, published In Mon
day night's Reflector. '
The council considered that the
report of the county surveyor, made
after a careful examination of the
ground, was sufficiently accurate to
guide them in their future action,
Mayor Rice, accompanied by Messrs,
Olelssner and Bterl, made another in
spection of the route of the proposed
sewer this afternoon.
Adjournment was taken at ten
o'clock until Friday evening.
