CONAN DOYLE.

DR.. Conan Doyle, another famous
writer in that line, created in "Sher-
lock Holmes" a new style of detective.
His character is that of a physician, who
studies men and their motives and al
ways captures the criminal in the end.
DIR. Doyle's greatest task is in devising
the climax. He always gets that and
writes the end of the story frst-all the
rest is easily done in a week. He is a
tall, broad shouldered and very open
air sort of man, and says that his best
ideas come to him when he is walking,
rowing, tricycling or playing tennis.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, March 17.-The
house, after adopting resolution to
adjourn March "a, spent the rest of the
day in speech making and tilibustering
on parliamentary points, without taking
any action on the university matter,

to engrossment the committee substi-
tute for Mr. Julian's bill to tax fran
chises and corporations per cent for q
university fund and other purposes.
After two days session considering
the house bill fixing the judicial cir
cults, the senate passed the amended
measure and it is now ready for con-
currence in by the house. As passed
by the senate the bill fixes the number
of districts at twenty-eight and raises

of the house refusing to concur. in
which event it is more than likely that
the assembly will adjourn without try
ing to pass upon the matter.

CARRoLLToN, Mo-, March 14.-About
o'clock Friday afternoon Mrs. John
Perreton, residing on the state road,
four miles east of town, was assaulted
at her home by an unknown man, now
known to be Lewis Gordon.
Mrs. Perreton was alone when the
man appeared at the door and asked
for drink of water, which she gave
him. After drinking, he caught hold
of her by the hair. struck her down
and threatened her life at the point of
pistol, if she made any further cutlery.
He succeeded in accomplishing his
purposes. Mr.. Perreton, who was
working in his field a quarter of Il
mile away, was attracted by his wife's
cries after the mans departure, and ar
irving at the house found her in o
hysterical condition. He Immediately

THE SHERIFF DUNN MURDER
CASES DISMISSED.
A COMPETENT JURY NOT 70 Be HAD,
Special Judge vandervert's Singular Ruiz
ing ut springfield-On Hundred Men
Disqualified by 1t for Jury Service
No Man Eligible Who Believed
That Sheriff Dunn Was
"Unlawfully Killed"

SPRINGFIELD, Kan, March IT,
Sheriff Dunn's murderer is to go I'M
punished A jury cannot be found in
Seward county to try the men who are
accused of the crime.
District court convened yesterday
morning for the purpose of trying the
Dunn murder cases. The examination
of citizens for jury service was begun
at once and continued through the day
and up to late hour last night when
the special venire was exhausted and
no jury obtained.
When the first juror was placed upon
the stand Special Judge Vandevert
ruled that no man who entertained the
opinion that Dunn was unlawfully
killed by a mob could sit as juror; and
after 100 men had disqualified them
selves by saying they had such an
opinion the cases were all nollied and
the prisoner turned loose.
The citizens generally look upon the
affair as farce and say that no man
could say that Dunn was lawfully
killed by mob"
This action disposes of all the cases
against the supposed murderers of
Sheriff Dunn. The only trial which
has taken place was that in the case of
Sam Minton, concluded March 3, which
resulted in his acquittal. None of his
alleged associates who were indicted
can now be brought to trial for the
reason that the judge has decided that
no jury can be secured to try them in
Seward county.
The public was prepared for this re-
suit since the recent discharge of
James Brennan, the murderer of Sam
Wood, because jury could not be
found in Stevens county. The killing
of Sheriff Dunn was the direct out
growth of the murder of Sam Wood.
