FARMER FOUND.
The Harper County Abducting Case

The Harper County Abducting Case STORY
of Bond Voting in New Kansas Counties
Anything to Get the Bonds In the
Hands of ''Innocent Purchasers"
ANTHONY, Kan, Aug. 3.-Farmer, the
abducted county commissioner, has
turned up. A correspondent obtained
an interview with him at o'clock yes
terday afternoon and gained the follow
ing particulars:
About o'clock In the morning he
was called to the door of his home.
Opening it, he was confronted by five
masked men, one of whom pointed a
pistol at his head and said: 1--WE want
you. Come along" He made a show
of resistance but was grabbed from
both sides, bound and blindfolded and
lifted into a waiting carriage. One
man got in with him and the other four
got into another carriage and both
teams were started off Oh The jump.
Farmer asked them to return for his
clothes, as he did not want to be taken
in that shape They granted his request
The teams then went on a jump for
over half an hour, when they were
stopped and Farmer lifted from the car
riage. He WAS placed in what seemed
to be a storm cave, bread and water
placed beside him and the door barred
from the outside. At noon n good din
ner was showed through a window to
him
Some time that night his abductors
returned, blindfolded him and placed
him in a carriage. He was driven to
the neighborhood of his home, lifted to
the ground, his abductors, driving
rapidly off.
This is his version of what occurred.
He said he was not scared very much,
nor did he try very hard to get out of
his prison, as he thought no violence
was intended and that it was done to
keep the commissioners from making
the levy; that his abductors, after fail
ing to secure Commissioner Terrill,
and finding their work all in vain, re-
turned him to his home. He said IL it
was done for that purpose it was good
thing and ought to succeed, as the levy
ought not to be made.
The detective employed by the citi-
zens claims to have obtained proof that
the kidnapers of Farmer are four prom
inent county officials, assisted by an
alliance leader living southwest Of
town. Also that Farmer knew of the
intended abduction and went willingly,
and was taken to the home of said alli-
unce leader, that their object was a
political move in one respect;
thinking that under the msnda-
mus of the supreme court the levy
would have to be made on Monday
the alliance leaders got their commits
sioner ont OF the way so as to compel
the two republican members to make
the levy. Discovering on Monday that
the board had nine days in which TO
make the levy, they turned Farmer
loose
This much the detective claims to
have proof OF. and he is yet at work OBJ
tanning further evidence before any
definite steps are taken in the matter.
Farmer handed in his resignation, but
the board refused to accept it under
the present situation.

DROWNED BY a DOG.
How Fighting BfIlygoat DeseryedIy Met
Violent Death. -

Violent Death.
A billygoat who loafs about the wharf
Of a seaport is sure to lose his reputa-
ton. There are many bad goats ON
that part of the San Francisco water
front near the foot of Hyde street, and
the most disreputable one of the lot
came to "a bad end the other day.
Il WIS his delight to butt dogs; but,
Ike all bruisers, he finally ran against
the wrong dog, who took him out in the
bay and kept him till he was short on
wind and long on salt water. The dog
is big ST. Bernard, the property of
DR.. Arthur T Regensburger, and his
name is Marc Antony. The DOCTORS
big dogs indulge in bath there almost
every day, and as they passed along
this particular goat would run out and
hover around waiting for good chance
to use its head for a battering ram
against one of the dogs. This goat
seemed to pick out Mare Antony as an
especial target, and several fights be-
tween dog and goat were interrupted
by the dogs master.
The other day the dogs went down to
the beach as usual, and as usual that
billygoat was on hand waiting for Il
chance to mix up with Mare Antony.
Aftera good swim the dogs came out
and began chasing each other about the
sands, paying no attention TO the goat.
Finally one of the dogs chased Mare
Antony up toward where that goat was
waiting and watching. Mare ran on
ahead, and then as the fashion of all
dogs at play, turned, and, planting its
fore feet well forward, waited for the
other dog to come up. 1t was at this
Opportune moment that the billygoat
went into action. Lowering his head.
the animal charged, bowling the canine
over and over.
II was almost minute before that
dog realized what had happened. Then
Mare Antony made a dash for the goat
and caught it by the back of the neck.
The goat struggled, but the dog con-
tinueG dragging its foe toward the bay,
never offering to bite. Slowly but sure
" the big St Bernard moved toward
the water DIR. Regensburger shouted
to the dog to drop the goat and then
tried to whip the canine into submis-
sion. But that dog understood his bus
mess. He held on and dragged the strug-
Cling billy out into the bay and then
deliberately kept polling that goats
head under the water until it was
drowned. Then the sagaciOus dog
loosened his hold and allowed the body
of the dead goat to float away on the
waters OF the bay.-N. Y. Advertiser.
