THE OFFICIAL PAPER OF DICKINSON COUNTY
TORTURED.
Robbers Torture an Aged Ranchman In the
Indian Territory.

-
Indian Territory.
LITTLE Rock. Ark, Jan. 3l.-ln the
Kimishi mountains, Indian Territory, last
night, five masked men went to the honse
OF Reuben Williamson, a wealthy cattle
owner, living about SIX miles from Spring
Station, seized and bound him, entered
and, arousing Mrs. Williamson, demanded
to be shown where the money was con-
cealed. Williamson had early last
week returned from Kansas City, where
he had sold about $4,000 worth OF live
stock and the cash was supposed to be in
the house. Failing in their efforts to get
either Williamson or his wife to tell where
their money was, they tied Mrs. William
son in chair, took her husband and, after
building a fire in the stove, held his hands
over the hot metal. After he was rendered
unconscious Mrs. Williamson told the out
laws that all the money but $50 had
been deposited in the Merchants Bank OF
Kansas City. She turned over the deposit
check and cash on hand. after which they
left. Williamson's injuries are thought to
be fatal, as he is nearly sixty-fve years
old and the shock to his system is very
great. The settlers and ranchers in the
nelghborhood were soon aroused, and
strong party are on the trail of the flying
outlaws. 1t is hardly likely they will es-
cape, and If captured they will certainly BE-
lvnched

The talk which was INDUCED In a
few days ago of Carlisle and Thoebe re-
submitting to the voters of their dis
trict their claims for seat in Congress,
would be establishing a precedent which
if carried to legislative and county
offices in this state, would result in an
endless resubmission to the dear peO-
pie of political aspirants, and be hailed
with delight by the usual number OF
patriots in each voting precinct who
Scorn to sell their votes, but whose
teams on election day vary from ten to
twenty dollars for their valuable ser
vices rendered. The Kansas horse on
election day is great institution it is
the goose that lays the golden egg for
its master, the sheep skin that covers
the wolf, the cloak that covers up and
hides from the unsophisticated the de-
ceit, dishonor and political corruptness
of its owner.

Sullivan, the Goliah of the prize ring,
is being liCnized, petted and patted by
the English lovers of the smuggling art
in very pat manner. His popularity
goes right on popping; few days
ago the London Sportsman announced
that the great and only Sullivan would
be at their Office at o'clock long be-
fore the time the streets for blocks were
thronged with people and John L. had
to be run in at private entrance.
When he came out the crowd swept a
big squad of police back like chaff and
run after Sullivan for blocks, yelling
and cheering like madmen. Prize
fighting is british, but fifty-nine mil
lion of our people out of the sixty would
like to see the big Boston boy knock
out Mitchell, Smith and Killrain, and
then come home. If Goliah Sullivan
meets his David it will be the old
weapon that will down him-a sling,
prefxed after the modern style, whisky
sling.

The Topeka Capital says: ''Charley
Barrett, of the Washington Post, who
is numbered among the few bright
Democratic journalistic lights in Kan
sas, has been converted to religion, and
in the current number of his paper,
takes bold stand for Jesus, accom-
panied with the announcement that he
has enlisted for life.''' The Capital
further remarks, sit would be entirely
compatible, now, to see the Post come
out red hot Republican paper" The
Capital certainly is entitled to the
cake for descending from the sublime
to the ridiculous in such a ridiculous
manner. From man taking a posi-
ton which if he occupies through life
will finally entitle him to seat among
the Heavenly throng, to joining party
which, by virtue of being member
thereof, would entitle him to seat in
a convention beside that brilliant Re-
publican AMI sacriligious scoffer of the
meek and lowly Savior of mankind,
Robert G. Ingersoll.

Partisan Demagogy.

There is not a Republican in the
House who does not know that Speaker
Carlisle would not take or hold seat
to which he did not feel himself hon.
estly entitled. They had not the cour.
age to vote against awarding him the
seat, but meanly refrained from voting
out of pure partisan demagogy. And
now will the house proceed to business:
Much valuable time has been wasted

Fell in Rolling Lard.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Jan. 3l.-Josiah White,
for several years an employee of the Fowler
Packing Company, met with a shocking
death yesterday morning by falling into a
huge tank of boiling lard. The man was
working in the refining rooms and in pass
ing one of the tanks he slipped and fell
backward into the boiling mass. Two men
standing near by at once pulled him out,
his screams being heard throughout
the establishment When his clothing was
removed with some difficulty the flesh from
his shoulders to his feet was solid blister
and large pieces Of the skin fell off. The
tank was four feet deep, and the lard
reached to Whites shoulders. The unfor.
tunate man died in the afternoon. He was
forty years OF age and leaves a wife aud
three children

Snow Slides in Canada.

WINNIPEG, Jan. 31.-The latest reports
from the mountains indicate that there has
been great loss Of life on the Canadian Pa
cific owing to snow slides. Passengers
coming on trains from Calgary bring mea-
ger particulars of the disaster. Chinook
winds have been prevailing for the past
week, and all along the line from Donald to
Glacier snow has been coming down on the
track in tremendous quantities. Near Pal
izer Station, British Columbia, several
men were caught in slide. One was dug
out alive, but he was badly bruised and is
not expected TO recover. The mild weather
has put an effectual stop to all through
Canadian Pacific trains, and, as the mount
ain streams are considerably swollen, 1t
may be some time before traffic is resumed.

been shot in the region of the heart was
taken to a hospital, where the doctors

shot himself in order to avoid the
necessity of shooting the Gar. He said he
was a member of secret society which
had balloted to decide who should under.
take to assassinate the Gar, and the choice
had fallen upon him. Several persons In

fession were Immediately arrested. Two
physicians who were present on duty were
liberated. The full confession of the Off.
