The sensation of the day was caused by
the arrest, for perjury, of Fred Segerman,
one of the witnesses for the defense
One Of the principal witnesses for the
government, Mr.. Walters. swore to having
been present both in sight and hearing dis
lance when Pecora shot Cline. Segerman
| swore that he and Walters were both in a
barroom taking drink and that the scene
OF the killing could not be seen from the
place. He also stated that the crowd gath
cred so dense in front of the door that it
was utterly impossible to get out until
after the second shot was fred by Pecora
AS soon as this testimony was given, the
attorneys for the prosecution asked United
States Commissioner Sherman for a war
rant, which was issued and served on Seq
erman. and he was placed under arrest
and taken to the county Jail.
There is considerable evidence yet TO in

C E LINTON MEETING.

| There was fair attendance at the meet
| ing of the Christian Endeavor societies of
the city at the Central Christian church
last night, and some important business
was attended to, after which the company
was entertained with music and other in
| teresting features. The meeting was pre-
sided over by Prof j C. South About
! two-thirds of the several societies were
| represented.
After an opening prayer and hymn the
| business before the meeting was taken up.
The minutes of the previous meeting were
read and approved. The principal subject
was the entertainment of the delegates to
the state convention OF the society to be
held here May to inclusive 1t was de-
cided that an invitation to an unlimited
number of delegates should be issued.
There were a good many methods for their
entertainment suggested, and the discus
sion to get at the best one was quite gener-
al. 1t was finally decided to place the matter
in the hands of the executive committee,
composed of the officers of the union and
the presidents of the various societies, for
them to canvass the members OF the
churches in which such societies are organ
lied for assistance.
The person to whom was assigned the
work of preparing a paper on How to
reach the young people on the outskirts of
the city, was not present, but the subject
was thought of so much importance that
it was discussed at some length by several
of the members, and the general trend of
opinion was that the best method TO reach
them was to establish societies within
easy access of such young persons, where
they would be more likely 10 come within
their influence.
There were many beneficial suggestions
brough out relative 10 the work of the
societies by the question bcX.
The audience was favored with a violin
solo by Mr. She man Skinner. which, as is
usual with this young mans music, was
heartily appreciated. The vocal music by
the Lewis academy quartette also brought
forth the applause Of appreciation which it
highly deserved.
The last half hour of the evening was
spent as a pleasant social gathering, in
which everyone joined with heartinoss be
fore departing for home.

THE PEOPLE JCBILANT.

T. H Ellis, proprietor of the kingfshei
Democrat. is in the CITY in attendance upon
the United States court. In the course OF
a conversation last evening Mr.. Ellis said
that the people of his town were wild with
Joy over the news of the ratification of the
Cheyenne and Arrapahoe treaties. When be
left last evening bonfires were blazing,
bands playing and cannons booming. The
people of that country feel assured now
that they will make great town out OF
kingfisher.
Mr. Ellis says the Indians express them
selves as very anxious TO have their lands
picked out and 10 have the rest thrown
open so that crops can be raised the com
ing season Mr. Ellis thinks that about
the 4th OF July the country will be thrown
open to settlement
kinghsher now feels assured that they
will remain the county seat, as they will
have good deal more territory 70 be ac-
ced 20 heir county.
Mr. Els was feeling pretty good as his
paper-the Democrat-had just been
named as the official paper of the county.

A FAMOUS CASE KNIFE.

The March issue of the Century Maya

written paper on the military prison at
Johnson's Island. Mr.. A. L. Buckeridge,
of the Wichita city council and one of our
oldest citizens, and who was an officer
there at the time of the escape made By
the prisoners and still keeps the case-knife

little girl about 10 years old She carried
her bit of lunch wrapped up in a newspa-
per She was evidently employed down in
one of the big shops.
At the moment the reporters eyes fell
upon her her eyes were big with amaze
ment and deligl She seemed in a very sew
enth heaven Of bliss. A picture book lay
open in Der lap, depicting in huge type and
high colors the old, old story of Cinder-
ella. There were stacks of just such books
in the shop where she worked, and her eye
may have fallen upon them and recog-
nized them somewhat as part of the land
marks of her daily drudgery. But this
one had been given her for her very own,
and she treasured il as though its value
were a hundred times its weight in gold.
Between One Hundred and Fourth street
and the Eighteenth street station she read
the entire story three times, and at each
reading she seemed to enjoy il more huge
ly than before. She had just begun for
the fourth time when tall, good natured
looking young woman, who was holding
on to one OF the straps, nodded her head
to her and shouted out, 'Hullo, Cash.
