Ii pursuance Of law parsed last winter,
County Attorney, W. f. Stanley, has taken
the initiatory steps to vest in the county fee
simple title to all delinquent lands and lots
that have not been decided. To so over all
the old records and sales has been no small
job, taking much time and patience. There
is one point particularly noticeable. in all the
lists of other counties there are many tracts
of land. in the Sedgwick county list there is
not single piece OF farming land advertised.
That fact speaks unexceptionably well for
our couuty, This step Of the Attorney will
close out 4 larse number of lots which other
wise would have been advertised and sold
year after year for years to come, adding ex-
pense to costs upon lots of little value.

Joel Collins, who lived two summers in
Wichita, and who was one Of the two killed
near Buffalo as a Union Pacific tram robber,
it is now claimed may have died innocent of
| the crims. When Collins lived or stopped
here, he was reputed wealthy. He was from
near San Antonio and owned a large herd OF
cattle each of the two seasons he stopped in
Wichita. Ills father, highly respected citi-
zen, OF Dallas Texas, demands an invesiiga-
ton, and has put the matter into the hands of
eminent attorneys. The father has learned
OF facts sufficient to ju stify the statement that
his son could not have been present at the
train robbery. He had gone to the Black
Hills with large lot of cattle, and wrote to
his father that he had sold them at twenty
five cents per pound, and secured his pay in
gold, amounting TO nearly $40, 900. joel had
a very valuable property at san Antonio. His
conduct when captured Is accounted for upon
the hypothesis that he thought he had fallen
into the hands OF robbers. The Kansas City
7iaes publishes the gist OF the whole matter.
How Collins ever mistook United States SOL
diers for robbers seems little misty. But
time Will tell.

j. C. Fraker, late president OF the First

under the law. We understand he will go to
Jefferson City. Our readers already know
our judgment in the case, which are not in
aptiy reflected in the following specia. to the
Kansas City Times, telegraphed from Leayen.
worth last Saturday
"A decided sensation was created in the
United States District Court this morning by
the appearance of j. G. Fraker, formerly
president Of tbs Wichita National Bank, for
the purpose OF pleading guilty Of the charges
on which he W as indicted. He was accom-
panied by his attorney, Hon. John Martin, of
Topeka. When he appeared in the presence
OF Judge Foster, Hon. George Peck, United
States Attorney, arose and stated TO the cour
that the charges against the defendant had
been consolidated and that be deeired TO
plead guilty to them all. The Judge asked
the defendant il he plead guilty. lie replied
in low tone, "Yes Sir,' As he spoke a
deathly palior overspread his countenance,
the blood fed from his cheeks, and he looked
as much Ike a corpse as he ever win when
life is extinct. Tho fall OF Fraker has been
terrible one. he is a man of fine education,
OF pleasing address, and appears to be an hon
est, upright gentleman. He has been a min
ister in the Methodist Church, and previous
TO his fall enjoyed the confidence and esteem
Of every one who knew him. great many
OF those who are familiar with the history OF
the bank do not think that Fraker intended
TO be dishonest, but committed the irregu-
larities o! which he pleads guilty, in the hope
OF carrying the bank through the troubles
and difficulties which came upon it in 1873.
He viii make statement next week which
viii disclose the secret causes which led to
the crimes for which he is about to be pun
ished. The sentence has hot been passed,
but il viii not be less than five years in The
penitentiary. The ease Of Eldridge. cashier,
and Wright, assistant cashier, indicted on
similar charges, vii come up next week for
trial. The case OF Fraker, on account of his |
former standing for integrity and respecta-
bihty, very much resembles that OF Gilman of
New York, who has just plead guilty to the |
charge OF forgery"
