A Queer MuddIe.

SnsHay Sheriff Moon arrived in this
city fso4n Crawford county, Arkansas,
bringing with him one Philip Keller,
wbcu be arrested upon the complaint Of
Charles Lovelace, for driving off mort
gagged property. Tie facts in the case as
nearly as we have been able to learn them
are rs follows: In the winter of 1879 50
Keifer purchased some mules of Lester
Spencer, of Wabaunsce county, giving
his note III payment secured by a
ct,aule mortgage ON the mules.
Before the paper maIurcd Keller moved
70 AFkans Is, taking the mules with him,
but when the note became due sent the
amount il called for 10 the Emporia Ma
tioaal bank, with instructions 10 place
the money to the credit of Spencer, but
failed to specify what for or 70 protect
himself by takiag up his paper.
In the meantime, Spencer sold the
note to Charles Loyelace, of this city,
aad when he ascertained that Keller
had left Wabaunsee county. he became
uneasy, and asceriainingt the Whereabouts
of Keifer, notified Sheriff Moon,
who proceeded to arrest the
supposed swin1ller. Upon arriving at
this place Reifer was speedily exhonor-
atcd, as The money was found at the
bank where he had sent it in May Of
1880. AS something over $500 by way
OF costs have been incurred in making
the arrest, it becomes matter of some
interest 10 determine who is to loot the
bills aud piaca;e the injured Mr. Keifer.

The Lady Interviewed by q Capital Rep
resentative at Topeka.
Topeka Capital: There passed through
North Topeka yesterday, on the Union
Pacific railroad, party en- route for
Washington, u. c., one member of which
has become famous from the fact that
her former husband murdered President
Garfield. The lady in question is Mrs
Dunmire, now resident of Leadville,
Colorado, who, in company with her
present husband and two children and
Mrs. Wilson, cousin of Guitcau, were
en- route to Washington to testify for the
prosecution in the case of that criminal.
The party dined at the Palace hotel, and
just as they were leaving for the train
Capital reporter appeared on the scene,
and receiving hasty introduction from
an acquaintance who had met them on
the train, the Faber pusher asked:
MRS. Dunmire, do you think Guiteau
crazy?'
mo, sir; he's no more crazy than
am. He is only playing it"
"What do you think will be done with
HING"
81 don't know, but he ought to be
hung. He is a scamp and sharp enough
to know how to play the insanity dodge
to perfection. He knows that is the only
thing that will save his neck from the
| halter"
"Are You the lazy that he refers to as
his 'ex-wife' in his speech TO the court
last MondayP'
ayes, 1 presume so. I am the only
ex-wife of his that know of, and am
not at all proud of the Distinction"

Mr.. Able came to Topeka at the time
of the strike OF 1878 and has been with
the A. T. & s. F. company ever since,
making many friends in that time. His
death will be mourned by friends all
alopg the line.
Capital. The A. T. and S. F. com
pany intend laying double track from
Waseca Junction, about five miles west
of Kansas City on their line, into Kan
sas City. This will take in the business
that comes over the branch from Olathe

pected. When he retired the night be-
fore he was feeling unusually well, and
had reported for duty yesterday. The
body was prepared for travel by under
taker Stoker and will be sent to Chica-
go this afternoon.
There are several things back of this
double track that the public are proba-
bly, not as yet aware of. One is that
the A. T. and s. r. company is
building road from Emporia, Kansas,
to Ottawa, where it will connect with
what is known as the Kansas City,
Lawrence and Southern Railroad, and
run TO Waseca Junction, increasing the
business of the road so much that
double track from the junction will be-
come g necessity. About four and a
half miles west of Kansas City IS the
town sit of Argentine, but up to the
present time no town of any dimensions
has shown up. But now that the double
track is contemplated, corner lots have
gone up, large lead mandatory is
about to be established, and things are
on the boom.

Topeka Capital: Major Anderson was
on high horse yesterday afternoon.
He received letter that mill-run from
the Lookout mine, twelve miles from
Silver CHI, Colorado, in which he is
largely Interested, yielded $25 per ton
in gold by the Waltz process. This
Waltz process is the cheapest and sim
plest yet discovered for reducing refrac-

dump by six men in thirty minutes.
The deposit is eighty feet wide and it is
claimed that 500 tons per day can be
taken out of the mine. 1t is only two
