WICHITA CLUBS PULLED.

Thirty-Six Barrels Of Whisky Pound in One
Plaoe-Exoitement Among the Members Of
These Social CIubs.
WICHITA, Kan, Aug. 2.-For sew
eral weeks past the police commission
ers have been collecting evidence con-
corning the running of joints, club
rooms, ETC., and have decided to inaug-
urate vigorous campaign against the
same. The county officials are con-
Quoting the affair, and yesterday be-
gan by pulling the place known as the
Wichita club rooms. but which they
assert is run in such a manner as to be
in violation of the prohibitory law.
The party who is conducting the rooms,
man known as "Frenchy," was ar
rested and considerable stock of beer,
whisky, brandy, etc., was confiscated.
This is the first instance in which
one of these club rooms has been
'.pulIed, " but the officers say they can
be made to answer for a violation of
the prohibitory law. All of the others
in the city, it is understood, will be
taken as fast as the police can secure
evidence of their selling liquor to any
one; in fact it is understood that they
already have evidence against them.
The same statements may be made
concerning all of the places in the city
where liquor is sold, either retail OF
wholesale.
Under Sheriff Brown and Deputy
Sheriff Metcalf, who made the haul
above mentioned. also arrested two
men charged with being engaged in the
wholesale liquor business. They were
Otto Koplin and Edward Knoblauch.
At their place were seized thirty-six
barrels and twenty-four kegs of beer
and twelve barrels of whisky. The
sheriff's Offices will soon, and in fact
wholesale liquor house. Still there are
more to follow.

WASHINGTON, August 1.-The secTe
tary of the interior to-day reversed the
decision of the commissioner of the
general land Office in the case of James
Salmons VS.. Otis G. Goss, involving
the northwest quarter. of section u.
township 2l south. range q west, Lar
ned, Kansas, land district. 1t appears
that Goss entered the tract March,
1880, under the timber culture act, and
that in March, 1884, SalmonS instituted
contest, alleging failure of Goss to
plant trees during third and fourth
wears after entry. AT the hearing il
was shown that GoSS had broken ten
acres of the tract prior to entry, and
that it was cultivated properly the first
two wears. Seeds and cuttings were
planted as required by law, but, owing
| to the dry season of 1882, they failed
to grow. GOss' agent who was culti-
waiting the land, was instructed to re-
plant in the spring of 1888, but ne
| elected to do so until March 2. 1884
| the last day of the fourth wear from
| the date of entry. The next day Sal
nous instituted contest. The cast
was carried to the general land office
| and Commissioner Sparks de cided il

Mr.. Villas, in reversing this decision
and diSmiSSing the contest, says: ',Un

A Policeman Mysteri9usiy Murdered

ST.. PAUL, Aug. Sat half, past one
o'clock this morning the policeman on
the various beats on St. Anthony hill
heard the report of a pistol coming
from the distance of Virginia and Sum-
NIT avenues. Those who heard it inn
mediately made their way toward that
section of the hill, but failed to find
anything suspicious. The policeman
on the Virginia avenue beat could not
be found, however, and this fact set
the officers to searching for him. Aft
er three hours the missing man was
found lying stone dead on Virginia
avenue, about one bundled feet north
from summit avenue, with a bullet
wound just below the right eye. The
dead officer, whose name is HOus Han
son, joined the force last September.
He was about tWenty-nine
years of age and married. He was for
merly employed by The Merchants Ma
tiOnal bank. When found, at 400. the
body was lying on Virginia avenue,
with the feet on the curbStone and the
body in the roadway. In his hand was
grasped his revolver, at half-cock, and
/ he wore his rubber coat. The bullet
which caused his death shattered the
right eye. Chief Clark, speaking of the
occurrence, said: 1T is probable thai
Hanson was killed by burglars. but Il
so we have failed to find that a single
house in the neighborhood had beer
disturbed. Another theory is that hi
was shot by some person who mistOol
him for a fOot-pad. This might be tn,
case, as Hanson wore his rubber Goa
over his uniform. So far we have N
trace of the murderer

Hades, Located Under Fiudlay, Ohio

CINCINNATI, Aug. 1.-Dr. Ernst
Weisenbauer, professor of Geology in
Heidelberg University, Germany is
here for few days. after visit of
inspection to the natural gas wells at
Findlay, Ohio. The professor says
that he found the Vastness of the gas
deposits at Findlay greatly under-es-
timated, and that underneath the town
at great depths lay mighty cavern,
filed with highly infiammable gas, I'M
der tremendous pressure. by means
of experiments with delicate instru-
mentS the professor has come to the
conclusion that at distance of only
one mile between the great gas cavity
which lies under Findlay fire is
raging at a temperature of nearly $500
degrees. Not satisfied with the obSer-
VatiOns at one point, he took several
wells within radius of three miles,
and claims his first observations were
completely confirmed. lie says that
about l 200 feet below the city of Find
lay lies an immense cavern. 1t is seY-
eral miles long and in some places
more than half a mile deep. This is
crowded full of gas, which is under al
most inconceivable pressure. Then
comes strata of rock, per
haps mile in thickness, then
the great natural fire about
ten miles from FIndlav on either side.
The intervening trata is Of great thick
ness, but as it nears the town it grows
thinner, the furnace beneath disinte-
grating it and ever lessening the bar
rier between itself and the gas wells.
From the tremendous cracking which
is to be heard by the sound instrument
it is almost certain that the disIntegra-
ton of the rock strata is going on with
to think an early catastrophe not only
possible but probable.

Cast Shells.


PrTTsBURG, Aug 3.-While awaiting
the governmental test of the Hams
worth's cast steel gun the Pittsburg
Steel Casting company has produced at
their works cast shell. the first ever
made in the United States or in fact
in the world, which indicates entire
success. Superintendent HamSWorth
says a few hundred steel shells have
been made in England, but they were
cut from forged ingot and then
bored, necessarily making them very
expensive. The shells which 6he Pitts
burg works are manufacturing are
at the largest end and tapering to a
at which the cap is placed. 1t has an
elongation of 214 inches and weighs
ninty-tive pounds, requiring five
pounds of powder for charge making
the total weight 100 pounds. Fifty
pounds of powder will throw the pro-
jectile a distance of six and one
half miles and it will travel at the rate
of 1000 feet per second. Mr.. Hams
worth experimental with the manu-
facture of cast steel shells two years
ago, but did not meet with success.
The failures in England, France and
Germany in recent attempts to pro-
duce a servicable cast steel shell urged
him on with a greater determination
| and he is now confident his shell will
fulfill the expectations of the world
The Pittsburg Steel Casting company
has received an experimental order fol
800 shells which will be followed by one

friend. This closed the evidence and
the argument of attorneys COM
menced.
The pleas of the attorneys were
lengthy and summed up much in the
whole. Attorneys Mcconnell, Kellogg
and Sedgwick presented the side of the
defense, while Buck, Lambert and
Scott pleaded for the state. The drift
of the defendants plea was that there
was disputed title, and they made
strenuous efforts to make T. B. Jones
shoulder the whole responsibility and
acknowledged him guilty of a mis-
demeanor. At little before ten the
argument was closed.
The Judge found that the property
was subject to larceny and there was
noquestion but that Highlands and :.
c. Jones were the only parties impli-
Gated, until the former took the stand
when he stated clearly L. b. Jones'
connection with the affair. That the
main line of defense was that Hugh
banks didn't know the bank had a le-
the evidence that L. b. told him they
had mortgage and that the
debt remained unsatisfied was
enough to put III. on his guard
and proceed cautiously and see
if his statements were true.
He also found from the evidence
that II. S acts were inconsistent with
his statements and belief. Concluding
he said he would not take the RESPONSE

A Double Tragedy.

PII-rsBURe, Pa, Aug. 2.-Shortly
after o'clock this morning, May Pat
ton of Johnston shat and killed Charles
DeKnight, we'll known man of Law
renceville, and then blew her brains
out. The tragedy took place in the
Metropolitan hotel, on the corner of
Grant street and Seventh avenue, but
the cause will probably never be known.
The couple called at the hotel at 5
O'Clock this morning, and Deknight
registered as G. Lewis and wife of
Johnstown, Pennsylvania. They were
given u room, and nothing more was
heard from them until o O'Clock, when
the guests were startled by the report
of two shots in quick succession. The
hotel clerk ran to the room, but the
door was locked and it was necessary
to break it down to effect an entrance.
A terrible sight then met their gaze.
On the floor was DeKnight, dead, with
a bullet hole in his temple, and lying
on the side OF the bed was the woman,
also dead. with the blood trickling from
u wound in her head, and the revolver
still tightly clasped in her hand. DE
knight was in street attire, but the
woman was in dishabille.
