A Book Found with the First Acc
count OF the Murder of am Old
MAN.
WICHITA, KAN, Jan IA cattleman, J.
W. Cook, came here from Indian Territory
o few days ago and related the particulars
OF the finding OF an old book he Showed. II
was partly Ineligible and appeared to be q
sort Of diary. On one OF the pages was
given full account of the murder OF Jacob
Baughman, an old man living alone II
miles southwest OF GAINESVILLE, Ohio In the
fall Of 1868. The deed was apparently done
by the writer and two accomplices for
$1,000. Mrs Cook said the book was
found under some stones on the floor of a
dug-out on the bank Of the Canadian river
In Indian Territory, into which he aud u
company OF men had pursued two horse-
thieves. Rather than surrender they had
fought until one WIS killed and the other
morally wounded. The latter died before
It could be discovered who was the owner
OF the book.
Yesterday the circumstances were re.
lated to j. W. Baughman OF this city, who
said the murdered man was bis uncle and
that the statements made In the diary were
eorrobcrated by evidences after the crime.
No one has ever been punished for the
murder, and this ts the first light ever
thrown upon 1t. He intends using this
acknowledgements evidence to aYenge the
murder Of his uncle II the perpetrators of
the crime are still alive. It is believed, how
ever, that one OF them WAS the horse.thief

T Continued from 9th page. I

The part of this misstatement that
seems to be intentional consists in sup
pressing the fact that Stonewall Jackson,
sire of the dam of Arstos, was by VIII
liamson's Black Hawk, son of Vermont
Black Hawk, thereby shutting out 81
ner cent. of known blood of Black Hawk
in Gillig and in claiming that Long Island
Black Hawk was Clay, when the writer
should have known that Long Island
Black Hawk was by Andrew jackson,
son of Young Bashaw by imported Grand
Bashaw, and had no Clay blood whatever
Adding, then, the 81 per cent. of Black
Hawk blood accidentally omitted, and
the % per cent. suppressed by the Era
man. and Gilig has precisely 129 per
cent. of the blood of Black Hawk, eX-
actlv the same that he has of the blood
of Abdallah; and the imaginary Clay,
Uambletonian and North American ele-
ments, claimed for this pedigree, go back
to zero, from whence they came.
6. The last statement, that "this is the
greatest horse yet formed by union OF
the Hambletonian and Ethan Allen or
Lambert blood" is open to the objection
that this horse is not formed that way.
If he were, we should hope the statement
might prove true; but in the mean time
such performers as Butterfly. 2:l9f,
ought, perhaps, to be considered.
The Era man should read up. This is
the first of his articles that has come UNI
der our eye. and it prompts the observa-
ton that if he honestly desires to in
struct the public in this line, he should
strive to make at least one statement in
seven strictly accurate.
