Mr.. Fuller, engineer of the Kansas
City, Enporia s. Southern railroad,
came to Eureka last Thursday even
ing, and in company with Mr.. l. r.
Phenis went to Howard City Friday
for the purpose of considering the
question of submitting a proposition
ia Elk county. Elk Falls had dele
cation at Howard, but found TO be i'm
possible to adopt any plan that would
be acceptable to both places. The
matter was left in an unsettled state.
A delegate convention was to haYe
met on Tuesday last which the matter
was to have been further considered.
MIR. Fuller returned to Knporia Sum
day. He expects to go east after his
family and will return In about ten
days. In the mean time the engineer
corps will continue on the permanent
surVey.-Eureka Herald Goth.
On the night of July 3Oth, some
thieves stole a reaper from the store o
Briggs & Bennett, Eureka. Its absence
and the trail were discovered the next
morning, and Sheriff Cl.ycomb start
ed in pursuit and after reaching the
Flint Hills followed a track on the
IOA AO L1ACo, anu JllO
machine hid in some rank grass and
weeds, and the thieves asleep on their
wagon near by. The Sheriff got help
from the nearest house. arrested the
thieves, and returned with the ma
chine to Eureka. Tho next thing
stolen will probably be a mile or too
of wire fence.
WA Samples, alias Wild Bill No 2
committed cnwardly murder near
Dodge City on the Goth, and was him
self shot and killed the next day by
party of pursuers. The murder
which was so speedily avenged, OccuFF-
ed on the night of the goth, at Mntphy
and Hines cattle camp on Saw Log
creek, where Samples was herding
cattle. A peaceable young man
named Mosely, an entire stranger TO
Samples, had hurried out to herd at the
same camp. and arriving there that
night laid down to sleep near Samples.
The latter woke up, asked who that
stranger was drew his revolver, and
short the sleeping Mosely through the
head, and then jumped on the nearest
horse and escaped. He was pursued,
however, with the result above mem
tiOned. Ts-

The Erie railroad has one baggage
man who is stickler for law and
order. There is statute forbidding
the ferries to carry corpses without
q coroner's permit under q penalty
of $3.50. This baggageman had read
law enough to be familiar with that
statute. A lady carrying months
old baby got on the train at q way
to mako very little noise or motion.
1t was just alive. Ia q few minutes
the lady looked at it anxiously, and
then silently covered its face with
green veil and held it close. The
passengers suspected the change that
had taken place, but said nothing.
The lady, evidently the mother of
the child, was in fearless sorrow,
and counting every milestone of
the way. Arrived at Hoboken, she
hurried 10 the baggage car to look
after a trunk. The Iaw-and-order
baggageman looked at the baby's
clothes and the veil that enVeloped
the baby face, and asked Madame,
is not that baby dead 2" She ans
wered "yee," and explained that the
child had died on the train, and she
vas to be met by her husband and
carriage over the river. The bag.
gageman went for an officer, and the
mother and her dead baby were Ar.
rested on the ferry boat, Just as It
was going to start. The officer look
ed ashamed of himself b1I he said
he had to do his duty. And that
poor woman and her little corpse
were detained several hours in Ho-.
boken by the red tape of Jersey.
The mayor, tho coroner, q doctor
and several other people had TO be
summoned, and finally the Law was
satisfied, and they let the lady and
her very light, yet heavy burden, go
their way. In the meantime the
husband was in terrible suspense.
The picture of dead woman fold
ing her child washed In by the tide.
WAS ever present to him as he gazed
out oyer the water. The baggage
man that would tell on such q little
corpse as that must be very anxious
to make q record as . law abiding,
Order-loviug citizen. He ought to-
wear Q medal.

The ATedarIs case.

The examination OF Charles Medaris,
before Justice Z. F. Smith, last week, on
charge Of having murdered Return Lutz,
were concluded Friday, and the Justice
decided that the evidence submitted did
not warrant him in committing the ac-
cused for trial, and ordered him to be
discharged. He was, however, immedI-
ately re-arrested before leaving the court
room, on warrant charging him with
the same offence. His counsel then decI-
ded to resort to writ OF habeas corpus,
but the prosecution agreed to bring MIR.
Medaris up for examination before Judge
Peyton on Wednesday of this week, and
with this understanding both parties res
ted the case until that day.
On Wednesday Medaris was brought
before Judge PeytoD, and his counsel de-
cided to waive examination rather than
put their client to the expense OF defend
ing repeated examination, and he. was ac-
cOrdingly re-committed to Jail to await
trial before the district court in Septem-
ber.e ~
We believe this result is satisfactory TO
the people. The general desire is-sO see
Mr.. Medaris fully and fairly tried, so that
the accusation against him may, IL true,
be prove en- beyond doubt and the full PEN
atty of the law be duly inflicted; and on
the other hand If the accusation is false
the desire is to have trial which shall
establish beyond further doubt Mr.. Me-
daris' innocence OF the heniOus crime
which some person committed and which
should net go undetected and unpunish-
ed If detection and punishment can pos
slblY be effected.

At the Republican meeting last Satur-

to have any convention this fall for the

this subject. There lie to be free race,
