A TRAMP SHOOTS A PORTER
Arrested, Escapes and is Caught.
OAKLEY saturday Press, IA.

Oakley Saturday Press, IA.
Friday as the noon passenger train 20S
west-bOund was pulling out of Oakley the
porter, 10 Hoard, spied tramp on the
rear platform of the sleeping car between
Sapt Palmer's special car, and the porter
ordered the tramp off, which order was not
promptly obeyed, and the porter to more
emphatically express his demand gently
kicked Mr.. tramp who instantly drew q
5z-cahbre revolver and fired, striking the
porter somewhere in the back, inficting q
serious wound. The train, which was not
yet out of the switch limits, was stopped
and the tramp who did the shooting threw
MS revolver down and started on the run
bnt was quikly overtaken and captured.
The wounded man was conveyed on
Wallace where the companys physician
made an examination and probed for the
bullet, but without success, and the latest
report we have was that Hoard had been
taken to Denver hospital and that the
wound is liable to prove serious. The
tramp who did this malicious and cow
ardly act refused to give his name or place
OF residence, and was promptly placed un-
der arrest and left in the charge of city
marshal Ringwalt for safe keeping, but at
about 10 O. clock last evening he eluded
the marshal and made his escape, just an
hour before Sheriff Perryman reached
here to take him in charge. Indignation
runs high over the prisoners escape, and
it is said a few ladies of the city who
could not control their motherly affec-
tions pleaded for the release of the pris-
oner who seemed to have won their
sympathy. Whether the ladies had any
influence over the marshal or not we are
not prepared to say, but we are inclined
to think the marshal put too much
confidence in his prisoner and he quickly
gave the slip. The refugee is described
as boy Is or 10 years of age small for his
age, very slim, weighs about lis pounds,
blue eyes, peaked face. long sharp nose,
sharp features, very delicate, dark brown
hair, wore small black felt hat, short sack
coat, about No. 6 shoe, scarf and small
pin. the sheriff offers reward of $25,
for him arrest.
Just before going to press Sheriff Perry
man and the prisoner have come into
town with fugative's captors. He was
captured at Mystic, in Thomas county,
10 miles northeast of here by gentleman
named Wentworth and another party
whose name we failed to learn who came
down and received the reward.
LATER YET.
The World understands that the
tramp was taken to Hays City, and lodged
in Jail.

Last Sunday Mrs. Benedict and Miss
Lulie LeBron were out riding. When in
the northeast part of town a line was
dropped accidentally, and Charleys
"buckskin'' pony, which was pulling the
buggy, proceeded 10 move to suit himself.
The buggy was upset in short order,
when Mrs. Benedict and Miss LeBron
were thrown some distance upon the
ground. Mrs. Benedict was unconscious
for short time, but beyond this she was
not injured, except by having the right
side of her face bruised considerably.
The pony soon became disengaged from
the buggy, and ran down into town.

the buggy was upset, and the two riders
spilled upon the ground. Neither of the
men was hurt. The team dragged the We
hicle, top down, until the yard to the east
of Mead's stable was reached. Here an
other vehicle was run into, with the effect
of crushing it badly and breaking the
tongue and wheel off the one to which
the team was attached.

Senator Edmunds, Views.

WASHINGTON, May 29.--It was expected
thatsenator Edmunds who by resolution OF
the Committee on Foreign Affairs regarding
the fisheries treaty would have it in charge
during the debate and the fact that the
leadership had been practically taken by
Senator Sherman and that the voice OF the
enato from Vermont was not heard upon
the subject with which he is so
familiar in colloquies which closed
the afternoons debate caused some
some surprise. The explanation
is understood to be that Senator Edmunds
believes it improper and unwise to use no
stronger term for the Senate when in the
act OF advising the President and espe-
cially upon so important a matter OF di-
plomacy to do 30 ia the presence OF the
public and other parties in the case. Though
asserting reluctantly to the will OF the ma
lority and voting with his party for open
doors, he is understood to prefer to take
no public part in the proceeding, which he
holds to be SO irregular.

THE FIRST INTELLIGENCE
OF his condition came from Colonel Blunt.
who had remained at the house all night.
he left it about $50 O'Clock to 60 home for
breakfast, and as he passed the newspaper
men In waising he said that the Generalhad
a very comfortable night, and that one Of the
physicians told him a few minutes before
that the General was doing splendidly.
Everything seems to be more favorable
now,' said Colonel Blunt. land Mrs. Sheri-
Ian and all OF us feel much encouraged. |
But then, you know. the disease is there
and that no one can tell what will happen"
Colonel Kellogg relieved Colonel Blunt,
and after expending some little time in the |
house with the physicians and members OF |
Inc family, appeared on the front porch
about 8 o'clock and ~conversed freely about
the case.
THE General slept well during the
night" said he land now appears to be
mueh refreshed. His sleep wa natural
ana restiui, and not caused by narcotics OF
any kind. His respiration was also easier
and more natural, and there was no occa-
sion to resort to the oxygen treatment at
