Kansas City Prisoner Preferred Work-
house to Physician’s Mysterious
Machine.
Kansas City. — Michael Michlivic
beat his head against his cell in the
jail at the Kansas City police head-
Quarters. Six policemen and a trusty
were required to hold him. A doctor
was called.
“He’s insane from being struck with
a brick,” the policemen explained in
chorus.
Michlivic fell to the floor and began
to roll over and over. In irons he
was sent to the hospital. The physi-
cians consulted; then brought out a
strange looking machine. Michlivic
ceased to roll. They moved the ma-
chine toward him. Michlivic became
perfectly quiet. They attached a tube
to the machine.
“I’m not crazy; I Just though I’d get
out of going to the workhouse,” Mich-
livic protested.
Michlivic went to the workhouse.
He is a quiet prisoner.

Burlington, N. J.—Liability Insur-
ance on its policemen to provide an
income for them in case of Injury or
for their families in case of death is
favored by several Burlington council-
men, as a result of the accidental kill-
ing, this week, of Patrolman Thomas
Rogan. Two policemen have been
fatally shot and one seriously injured
here during the last decade.
The question of the city’s liability
for damages may enter into the kill-
ing of Rogan in mistake for a burglar
by Winfield Templeton. It is reported
that the widow of the dead policeman
may seek damages under the employ-
ers’ liability act. Attorneys disagree
as to whether these could be granted.
A public subscription for the Rogan
family was started today and a con-
siderable sum already has been sub-
scribed.
THE W. T. CARD CLUB.
Mrs. Crawford Johnson, assisted by
Miss Mary Desel, delightfully enter-
tained the W. T. Card Club and a
few other friends with a Mardi Gras
dance, Tuesday evening, at “Roslyn
Glenn,” the country camp of Mr. and
Mrs. A. T. Webster of Galveston.
Some very unique and beautiful cos-
tumes were worn by those who had
the pleasure of attending, who were:
Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Williamson, Mr.
and Mrs. H. A. Deats, Mr. and Mrs.
Crawford Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. A.
T. Webster, Dr. and Mrs. A. W. Mar-
shall, Mrs. K. Keenan; Misses Mary
Desel, Neva Owens, Rowena Deats,
Trenton, N. J.—Ever since Peter
Manolopos ,a young bootblack, won an
automobile he has had hard luck. For
being the most popular boy in town
Peter was given his choice of a $750
oar or $500 in cash. He took the ma-
chine, and the first day out was ar-
rested and fined $25 for not having a :
license. His hard luck continued un-
til the other night, when the machine
was destroyed by fire, and was not
insured.) “Why did I not take the
money?” he asked.
Mrs. H. H. Haden spent Monday
in Houston with friends.
Miss Leila Williams of Houston
spent last Sunday here with Mr.
H. A. Deats.
Mr. and Mrs. T. F. Theisen and
Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Eisemann motored

at “The Pines.”

ton last Tuesday with Mr. Haden and
