VIII Bone an Anarchist.

Many of our people remember the &C.
centric character, Win Bone, who lived
south Of here five miles until about a
year ago. He came here from Bloom
ington, ILL.,, and was regularly supplied
with money by his father who is ia we'll
TODD citizen of Bloomington. Will
was given the very best educational adj
vantages, trip to Europe and his flu
ture was bright. In an unlucky mo-
ment he became infatuated with bad
woman and the protests and appeals
of his loving family did not restrain
him in his unhOly relations. But at
last he and the woman, in dispair, see
inc that they could not hope to marry,
decided to end their career and accord
ingly each took deadly poison. The
woman died, it is believed; but Bone
recovered, but with his reason de-
throned. After months of care his in
tellect ,.Gs partially recovered and he
was sent down here that re might be
away from his old associations and sur
rouDdings.
While he lived here, Bone was regard
ed as queer, but harmless, lie made
many friends and no enemies. During
the Chicago anarchist trials he was an
interested reader of the daily papers
and he became sympatmzer in then
cause and correspondent with Parsons.
A year ago, he became tired Of the
monotony of this community, sold his
farm end left,
A few weeks since citizen Of this
city met him In Chicago and Bone then
showed our citizen the sights of that
city; its Haymarket square; where the
boom fell that terrible night; the halls
where the anarchists meet; and he
pointed put to our friend hundreds OF
the grim-visaged, Raatted-hair, dirty
and greasy, snake-eyed anarchists. A
day was spent in the Investigation and
sightseeing and our friend returned to
his hotel.
At once he was accostei by q police
man who wanted to know who he was
where he was from and what he was
doing in Chicago. The Medicine Lodge
man explained. fine oflcer questioned
him as to his acquaintance with Bone
how long he had known him aud where
ana the answers being satisfactory, Oul
friend was then told that Bone was con
stantly under police surveillance anC
that he was regarded as an anarchist
and kept very bad company.
It is unnecessary TO say that our citi-
ZEN did not run with Bone any more OF
that trip. lie was surprised and nc
doubt every one who knew viii Bon,
viii be surprised WHEN they real thi

San. Robinson who, last week, killed
four men in Stevens county, was resi-
dent of Barber county in 1883 and until
1885 and lived in and around Sun City.
He came from Madison county, Ken
lucky, and went to work for Tevis &
Proctor on their stock ranch near Sun
City. lie was living with a woman he
claimed as his wife and introduced her
to the people as such, but it being shown
that she was not, he became very I'M
popular. He and L. S. Proctor became
engaged in difficulty at Sun City In
the winter of 1885 and exchanged shots,
each coming near hitting the other.
Proctor killed a horse that Robinson
was hiding behind. Robinson vowed
vengence, but he never put his threats
into execution. He was prosecuted for
stealing sheep IN November 1884, but
was acquitted. lie then married the
woman he had been living with and
went west to COmanche county and
from there to Stevens county, it Is pre-
sumed. lie was regarded as a worth
less man here and it was never supposed
that he would shoot unless he had the
decided advantage of his opponent.

A KioWa Shooting.

Yesterday, Tuesday, morning, at 8
O'Clock, a shooting affair occurred in
Kiowa that will result in the death of a
gambler named Billy Wilson (no kin to
Abner or Tom. WILSON,. Wilson's wife
went into the grocery store of j. NJ.
Northup to buy bill of goods. Mr..
Northup informed her that she could
not get them until her husband had
paid for what they had already bought
She went home and told her husband
who proceeded to get one of the city's
double-barreled shot guns loaded with
buck-shOt when he went to NOrthup's
store to skill id Frenchman" as he
expressed his intentions.
Going into the store he discovered
NOTthup, who is a small man, behind
the counter near a showcase, and with
out a word of warming Wilson pulled
down on his would-be victim and fired
just as Northup lodged down behind
the counter. Northup raised up and
Wilson fired the second shot, also with
out effect though he shot the showcase
to pieces and powder-burnedh his victim.
Northup then grabbed a pistol that
was in the money drawer, a A, and
proceeded to defend himself. He fired
one shot that took effect in Wilson's
groin; Wilson started to run when
NOrthup fired two more shots, one TAX
ing effect in Wilson's arm and the other
in his left side. passing near the heart.
The last shot will more than likely prove
fatal, the doctors say.
Northup gave himself up to the Off
GERS and Wilson was moved to his
rooms in the Lovejoy building where he
will die, it is believed.
Billy Wilson is a professional gambler
who has made his headquarters at
Kiowa for more than year. He is re-
garded as a desperate man. HIS wife,
said to be a very beautiful woman, has
been considerably talked about lately
and it is rumored that her character
was not above suspicion.
NOrthup is well thought of in Kiowa
where he has been in business several
months. lie is married man of good
habits and reputation.
The best citizens of Kiowa Justify
Northup in his course and they say that
Wilson did not get more punishment
than he deserved, though he die.
