TOPEKA, Kan, Sept. 12.-The bitter
feeling between the citizens of Ravenna
and Eminence oyer the unsettled county
seat question was renewed yesterday by
the removal by w. T. Williams, treasurer
of the county, of the records of his office
from Ravenna to Eminence. A guard
of Ravenna citizens had been de
tailed to watch the treasurer to
prevent the removal. Yesterday the
guards attended the judicial district con
vention. Williams loaded the records of
his office into a wagon and was about TO
drive of when the alarm was given. The
guards hurried from the convention and
arming themselves and hastily hitching
up team started in pursuit of the fleeing
treasurer. At Al cross roads they mistook
another wagon for the treasurer
aud followed the wrong trail.
They were too slow for the
team in advance and in their rage fired
several shots at the supposed fugitive,
who finally escaped. In the meantime
Williams had reached Eminence and put
the records in 4 place OF security. The
citizens OF Eminence have armed them
selves in anticipation of an attempt by the

question as to its length. The street was
covered with mud.
At IL o'clock. Colonel Donation, the
chief of the staff to the cheiff marshal,
General Gregg, in full uniform walked
from headquarters and mounting a horse
dashed away to consult his superior
and receive his final orders. When
the colonel returned he ordered
the guard to be removed from around the
reviewing stand in the center OF the square
and closed his headquarters. The parade
had been declared Off Thus all the work
of weeks, the trouble and anxieties OF
months was for naught. Governor Beaver

the monuments TO the Gettysburg memorl-

the stairway the dog sprang.

ran in there, ran the length OF the long room,
back 70 the little partitioned of private Office,
and darted in there. The bookkeeper and one
of the Maerlender brothers were III the pri-
vate office and they were scared. They stood
close against the wall and let the dog rush
past them. he jumped out Of the window,
bowling all the while. The window looks out
on the space between the Maerlender build

ground floor is built up 10 a level with tho
windows Of the Maerlender private Office.
