ENGLEwooD, Kan, Dec. S.-News
comes from No Mans Land of q cattle
man named Harding who had a fearful
experience and is insane from the eff
fects of it. He was found in an old dry
well. While out rounding up stock he
was lost to his companions. This was
ten days ago, and he must, therefore,
have spent nine days in the well. How
he got there is unknown, but probably
the sudden stopping of his horse threw
him down the hole, which is nearly
forty feet deep Beside him when found
was the half.devoured carcass of wolf,
with bullet through his head, which
showed that Harding must have shut
him. Occasionally Harding has CLEAN
of intelligence, and from what can be
gathered it seems he was five or six days
without food. Wolves probably dis
covered his presence there, and the one
on which he had lived most likely was
crowded over the edge of the well by
the rest of the pack. The rescuer was
attracted to the spot by the wild howl

Disrupted.
CHICAGO, June 25.-Disputes between
Chairman Finley, of the Western Pas
senger association, and the Chicago and
Alton railroad eliminated today in a
ruling which will probably disrupt the
association. The Alton some time ago
reduced the st. Louis rate to meet secret
cuts. After some consideration Finley or
dered all the lines to restore the rates,
but the Alton, asserting that the others
were not acting in good faith, refused,
and Finley fined the company $500,
which they declined to pay. Then the
Alton asked authority to reduce the rate
to st. Louis, Kansas City and Denver to
meet secret cutting. Finley today. in
his ruling, declined. He said the Alton,
byits past conduct, had virtually forfeited
all right to protection. This virtually
reads the Alton out of the ASSOCIATION.
Many railroad men are OF the opinion
that Finley exceeded his authority. The
Alton will now act independent of the
association. Legal notice will be given
tomorrow of its intention to reduce the
rates to Chicago and Denver from $50 IS
to $25; Chicago and Kansas City. from
$3.50 to $40; Chicago and st. Louis,
from $3.50 to $6.
Quite sensation was caused today by
the announcement of the Burlington
road that it will Immediately resume
the payment of passenger commissions
in eastern territory. The reason given
being that it has not received the pro-
lection guaranteed it by the board of
ruling.

LONDON, June 25.-It is learned that

give any Information about the mar
riage, and be promised to preserve the

veyance was ready Parnell and Mrs.
oShea entered the phaeton and orders
were given to the coachman to drive
westward. After the party left Brigh-
