DEsTITUTIoN IN KANSAS.
Twenty Counties Appeal for Assistance
Financial and Crop Failure.

The following press dispatcl
from BelOit, Kan, tells Of the suffer
ing Of the people in the western por
tion Of the state:
The people 4 western Kansas
have never before ia the history oi
the state known such fearful iinau
cial difficulties as at present. Til,
scarcity of money or anything con
vertable into it, Is almost pitifnl and
the business houses have all they
can do 20 keep alive. Following the
failure Of the American National
bank Of Kansas Clty, four banks OF
this county alone have suspended,
one each at Cawker City, Downs,
Glen Elder and here. There was no
run made on any Of them, but the
little deposit they carried with their
correspondent was their ruinatiOn.
All over the western portion of
the state the cry Of restitution grows
louder, and the legislature at Topeka
has been made 10 hear II. An idea
OF the extent Of the suffering can be
had when IL IL known that twenty
counties have already applied to the
railroad commissioner for assistance.
In fact all the state west Of the Tooth
meridian, excepting a small district
In the Arkansas valley where irriga.
ton prevails, needs IL.
The first appeal came from Raw.
Inns county, where, following the
abundant crop Of 1882 came total
failure last year. Next came Thorn
rs county, aud then Others, until the
line Of dcstltution reached all over
the land west Of the Tooth meridian
and extended from north To south.
Every Grand Army post In the state
Is being called on, the Farmers Al.
llances are taking In supplies, the
Legislature IL appropriatIng money
and yet but "A small amount Of the
suffering can be relieved. The sod
houses are almost all barren, and
those families where the father Is not
well or where there Is no father to
care for the children, there is little
hope for more than "a bare subsls.
tence.
Many hundred families are now
living on corn meal aud warming
themselves 10y means OF buffalo chips,
or dried manure, picked up on the
plains. They have no money and
their mortgages are long past due.
The mortgage companies are fore
closing scores OF farms daily, but 10
no good. They only receive IA pitt
ml bid and are forced 10 take In the
property. Hence Ia some counties
there are whole townships owned by
Eastern parties who will never get
their cash out Of their Investments.
The situation Is grave one aud
should the present sensoh prove as
disastrous as the past one there will
be u verliable exodus from the plains
and they will be left ns barren ofclv-
Illzatlon as they were twenty years
ago.

lie found the bullet lodged ir between
the shirt and the body, which he pul
in his pocket, and then mounting
their horses set out for home.
After reaching Lewisville they re-
ported to Hake what they had seen.
The clothing, Hake requested his
nephew TO put INTO sack, as be wanted
10 show them to two other men, and
they were secreted in the attic Of
Hake's store. Hake and TEX" both
cautioned Williams to say nothing
about what he had seen: that dutch
John was an outlaw, and nobody
would ever say or care anything about
him, and after Hake had given him
credit for $40 on his store account he
returned home. Williams says, how
ever, that he told the matter to his
brother-in-law the next day, and To
several others, until finally he told it
to Billy Ayres, when the whole story
came out.
On the trip over TO see the body Of
Dutch John, Williams says Tex
told him several stories of how John
met his death. One of which was
that he and John were looking after
some lost horses and they got into a
QUARREL; that John pulled his gun, but
TEX got the .'drop" and shot first.
This story is improbable, as the testi.
innny shows John was shot in the
back. Reed Hake, the nephew. testi.
fled substantially TO the same thing
As Williams, in regard to the trip, but
that Tex" told him different story
as 10 how Dutch John" came to his
death. After hearing the testimony
of several other unimportant witness
es, the Coroner's jury returned the
following verdict:
We find that the deceased was
named John Andrews, was native OF
Germany, aged about IS years, that
he came to his death ON the 28th day
Of September, 1891, in this county
by wounds caused bg pistol shots,
fred from the hand of O. S. Herbert

II viii he remembered that Dutch
John" was one of the parties arrested
along with Frye, Bruhne and other,

they were all acquitted. 1t was ru
