TIE ACCIDENT ON FIFTH STREET-DEATH
OF JUDGE MCDOWELL sad accident
which occurred on Tuesday, near the corner
of Fifth and Poplar street, resulting in the
death of Judge Mcdowell, of Leavenworth
City, has created quite sensation at that
place We clip the following notice Of the
deceased form the Leavenworth Commercial:
w. G. Mcdowell was born in Hillsboro,
Ohio, about the year 1928 or 1929. His
father, Gen. J. j. Mcdowell, was, and still
is, one of the leading lawyers in that portion
of Ohio, and has served several terms in the
National House of Representatives.
After completing his general studies, Mr..
Mcdowell, then very young man, went to
Cincinnati, Ohio, and entered the law office
of Hon. John Jollife as a law student. In
due time he was admitted to the Ohio bar
and Immediately opened law Office Cincin-
natl. Here, by close study, careful attention
to business and strict integrity, he soon OBJ
tanned practice second to that Of no young
man at the bar He was once elected to the
responsible position of City Solicitor by the
people of Cincinnati, but afterwards refused
to serve, as his time was already occupied by
his important practice In the year 1853,
Mr.. Mcdowell came to Kansas and began
the practice of law in partnership with the
late Judge Means In 1859 he was elected
delegate to the Wyandottc Constitutional
Convention, and was regarded as one of its
leading spirits during its memorable session.
Upon the adoption of the said Constitution,
Mr.. Mcdowell was elected Judge Of the First
Judicial District After the admission Of
Kansas as State, he went upon the bench,
and remained there with unceasing popularity
and credit to himself for his full term Of four
years. On the irst of January, 1865, Judge
Mcdowell resumed his practice at the bar.
Success crowned his efforts as a practitioner
and handsome income repaid him for his
efforts. AS lawyer, he ranked second to
none at the bar of his adopted State; but It's
as q man that Billy Mcdowell will be miss
ed. He was nature SO generous, so just,
and kindly, that never. as we believe, did he
harm. or even think of harming, any fellow
creature His wit was of that pleasing kind
that charmed all, offended none. His fund
of anecdote was marvellous In short, to all
his other estimable qualities, Judge Nc
Bowel added that of being the most enter
tanning Of boon companions. To his family
his devotion was pleasant to witness. He
leaves a widow and four children, the young
est an infant four months Of age. May God
temper their sorrow and assuage their grief.
Farewell, Billy! Green be thy memory! I'M
perishable thy reward Thy sins we're few.
thy virtues many. Thou has left void at
thy hearth and among thy friends which can
ne er be filled,

Santa anna.

The following sketch gives n brief &c
count Of the principal events in the life Of
General Santa Anna, who is reported to
have been shot al Ssal, Mexico, on the
18th ultimo:
Antonio Lopez dc Santa Anna was born
on the 2lst OF February, l19S, in Jalapa,
Mexico, and first became prominent in the
war Of independence in the year ISL.
In 1922 he expelled the royalists from era
Cruz, and was assigned the command OF
that city and garrison. lie was deposcd
By Irurbidc, but in 1923 he effected the
overthrow OF his enemy. In ISIS he was
entrusted with the command OF the army
opposed 10 the Spanish expedition, and
gained rerown by his skill and bravery,
but assuming more power than was his
due, lie became involvcd in inSurrCCtionafE
movements, and to some extent lost the
confidence o; the people. IN 1850, how
ever, he obtained 4 decided victory over
the Republican amy, and proclaimed
himself dictator. IN 1886 he under
took the suppression OF Tie. Texas
rebellion, and was captured BY Gene
raj Houston. In lS37 he was released,
but on returning 10 his own com
try he YVES colby received: bat hc again
rendered valuable service on the occasion
OF the hUmUagdm@nt Of the Castle of San
Juan lie U!aa ly the French, and lost a
leg in action. From ISL to ISL he was
virtually dictator, 1uJ in l>fj he was cap
turcd by The insurgents aud banishcd for
ten years, when he took up his residence
in Cuba. TwoycarS later lie was recalled,
and conducted the campaign against the
American army, but was defeated by Gc-
neral scott, and allowed to leave Mexico
in ISIS. In 1913 he returned, and was
welcomed with much enthusiasm, ard
made President for one year. Ills ambl-
ton led him once more to presume upon
his power, and in 800 he was obliged TO
abdicate and again leave his country.
C that time he has lived much in the
:. est Indies, ana latterly had made lis
home in the United States, whence he
lately departed. He was a man OF con-
siderable military capacity, and had much
ability as q ruler.
