Dear Mollle; I havo been driven to death.
Things have not been running light, l'oii
called mo a liar today. I know you have
no use for liars, I will sleep In tho streets
tonight mid then, Goodbye, I love you
better than life. 1'tcase straighten up our
business matters as well as you can after
1 am dead.
This is tho letter which Mrs. I. Hayes
found lato last night under thu door at
her home, 108 Uroadway, whero she and
husband havo been conducting a ten busi
ness. Tho note was unsigned, but Mrs.
Ilaycj at onco recognized It as being In her
husband's handwriting. She recalled that
during thu early pari of the evening they
had n slight quarrel over some business
matters, nnd she at onco Jumped to tho
Conclusion that her hiubnnd hnd left homo
with the intention of committing ulclde.
Date as thu hour was, she at once hastened
to tho pollco and laid tho note nnd other
particulars beforo thu ofllccru. The police
lost no tlmo In Instituting u hcVch for
tho supposed would-be. suicide,
A thorough search of tho city was lnnde,
but not if trace of the missing man could
bo found. After midnight, fulling to llnd
Hayes, tho nfllcCrs detailed on the case
went to notify Mrs. Hayes, as she had re
quested. When they kuockod at tho door
they worn met by Hiijch himself, who In
quired their mission at that lato hour.
"Why, 1 thought you had committed
suicide." answered onu of the olllcers, as
soon as ho could collect his brooth.
"Who tnlked of suicide'.' Get away and
do not bother me," wns Hayes' answer, as
he shut tho door In thu olllcers' faces. Tho
policemen, realizing that Hayes was still
In tho land of tho living, concluded they
hail nothing further to do with tho case
und returned to pollco headquarters, where
thoy made their report.
Inquiry yesterday nt the Hayes domicile
elicited the Information from Mrs. Hayes
that sho really believed her husband In
tended (o take his life, but that he must
have thought better of It and decided to
slay on earth a little longer.
Mr. and Mrs. Hayes came to Council
niilfs from Hiawatha, Kan., four weeks
ago. Hayes came alone, and not hearing
from him, his wife feared that he had do
feerted hor. Shu got tho authorities at
Hlawntm to request tho pollco hero to
look Hayes up and arrest him. Hayes was
soon located, nnd nn Investigation showed
that as soon ns ho reached Council muffs
hu hnd written back to his wife, but had
by mlstako addressed his letter to High
water' Instead of to Hiawatha. When tho
mistake was ascertained Hayes nt once sent
his wlfo sufficient money to bring her here.

City ofllclals and tho members of tho
police and flro departments havo not re
ceived motor passes and arc olthcr com
pelled to pay their fares or walk. Somo
trip tlckots have been distributed among
tho city omclalB by Superintendent Tnrklng
ton, pending the Issuanco of the regular
pusses, but In some cases theso havo been
returned to tho motor company as not being
acceptable under the circumstances.
Section 7 of tho ordinance under which
tho motor company in Its last suit In the
district court claimed to bo operating pro
vides: "That ns a further and additional
consideration for tho granting of this fran
chise, nnd tho granting to said company tho
right to use tho streets named In section 2
hereof, It Is agreed that said company shall
transport free of charge on its cars tho
mayor, city engineer, mombors of tho city
council nnd all firemen and policemen of the
regular forco when In uniform, on duty nnd
having in their possession Indices of their
respective offices, whenover sucih officers
could, by law, collect tho expense of such
transportation from tho city."
Ono or more of tho aldermen not receiv
ing their pasRPs for 1902 wrote to tho com
pany asking for thorn. Answer wnB recelvod
from Superintendent Tnrklngton stating
that no passes would be Issued until a.'tcr
tho meeting of the board of directors on
January 7 and that In tho meantime he en
closed a number of trip tickets. As tho
aldermen felt that under tho ordlnanco
under which the motor company claimed to
bo operating they were entitled to tho
passes without question, thoy promptly ro
turnod tho trip tickets, suggesting that If
thcro vcro any doubt as to their being en
titled to tho privilege of riding freo on the
motor cars tho motor car had better take
the benefit of tho doubt for tho present.
Tho falltiro of tho motor company to sup
ply tho members of tho police department
with tho usunl transportation has worked
considerable Inconvenience upon tho force.
Mayor Jennings has been appealed to by
the city officials and employes of the
municipality to enforco tho provisions of
tho ordlnanco under which the motor com
pany claims to operate and compel It to
issue tho passes as required,
Somo of the conductors refused oven to
recognlzo the trip tldicts, and a news
paper reporter who offorod one for n rldo
was required to pay his money. Tho con
ductor said he had not been nuthorlzed to
accept the trip tickets and refused to do bo.
Several members of tho pollco force who
while on duty havo been compelled to rido
on tho cars have refused to pay any fnre
and havo dared tho conductors to put them
off. In every case tho conductor has taken

Casslus Church, tho young farm hand
chnrged with stabbing "Olngcr" Fields, col
ored, In Carson, Christmas day, was re
arrested yesterday morning, when word of
tho death of Fields at lied Oak was re
ceived. County Attorney Klllpack was no
tified of tho rearrest of Church on a chargo
of manslaughter yesterday aftoruoon, Mr.
Klllpack Is loth to prosccuto the case, as
Investigation by him nt tho tlmo Church
had his hearing on the chargo of assaulting
Fields showed that tho colored boy was
tho Instigator of tho trouble and that
Church acted In sclf-dcfcnsc. Witnesses to
tho light between Church nnd Flolds deny
seeing any knife In tho hnnds of the former.
Tho trouble between Church nnd Flolds
nrose, It Is said, over the sum of 3 cents,
which Fields claimed Church borrowed In
a bowling alley In Carson. Fields' death
resulted, It Is said, from blood poisoning,
caused by his wound after ho left Carson.
