CAUGHT THE FUGITIVES 'Buck' Wright and Ora Porter Found in Kansas City "For Gawd's sake, Sheriff, don't arraign ine on Friday," pleaded "Buck" Wright last Friday morning when Sheriff Cummings started to make arrangements for a hearing. And as he had Wright safe in jail and there was no particular hurry anyway, the plea was heeded and the arraignment was postponed.

It may have been his gambler's instinct that made Wright dread arraignment on Friday. He will be charged by the, state with maintaining gambling place near Baldwin City. Wright and another colored man, "bad" men of Baldwin City, have been badly wanted by the county officers since a certain happening, June 13, at Wright's gambling tent near Baldwin City. On that day, Ora Porter, who is not as particular about dates, it seems, as his partner, cut and slashed C. H.

Rice, a white man, in a quarrel over a "crap" game. Porter and Wright were brought back from Kansas City last night by Sheriff Cummings and lodged in the county jail. Wright was arrested some days ago in Kansas City, but the of- ricers made no move to bring him back at once, hoping to get some trace of Porter whom they hoped to catch also. Porter was located working in a stone quarry south of Independence, and the officers at Lawrence were notified of his arrest. Both Porter and Wright have been hiding out ever since the night of the attack on Rice.

They went from Baldwin City to LeLoup and caught a night train to Kansas City. The officers had suspected the course theyhad taken and had had a watch kept in Zephyr Flour Tones' Coffee We have just added a nice line of Men's Boys' Work Shoes These are all A1 quality and our price is right.
