LIBERAL, Kan, Jan. 5.-In Springfield,
county seat of Seward county,, to-day, the
sheriff and three deputies were killed by a
squad of men who were in ambush. It is
supposed to be the outcome of plot to
kill Thomas Bodkin, Judge of the judicial
district. 1t is all the result of the famous
Stevens county feud, whicl. began in 1888
and has continued since.
LATER-Judge Bodkin was to hold court
at Springfield to-day. Seward county was
formerly part of Stevens county. There
is a county seat war between Springfield
and Arkalon. A mob composed of the
old Stevens county faction was determined
that Bodkin should not hold court at
Springfield. The sheriff and posse were
on their way to escort the judge to his
court. Near the judges house they ran
into the ambush. Sheriff Dunn and
Sheriff-elect Guyman were killed. One
deputy is missing. A woman notified
Judge Bodkin of his danger and he fed to
Arkalon with his family. He has taken
refuge in house there, and his friends
are holding the mob at bay, calling on law
abiding citizens to rally to his support.

The Valparaiso Incident-How the
Democrats Will Attack the NcKfn-
ley Tariff Act-Senator Chambers
Proposed Amendment to the Con-
stjtutfon.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-Attorney Gen.
eral Miller has received from the United
States district attorney at San Francisco
the afidavits of Shields and McKinstris,
seamen of the American steamer Keewee-
nav, giving details of the assault alleged
to have been committed by Chilians on
the first named at Valparaiso. The attor-
ney general refuses to make the documents
public.
When the secretary of the navy was in
formed to-day of the arrival of the cruiser
Baltimore at San Francisco he telegraphed
to Captain Schley, commander of that YES
sci, informing him that Judge Advocate
General Remey had been sent to San
Francisco to investigate the circumstances
connected with the assault of the crew of
the Baltimore at Valparaiso and directing
him to afford all possible facilities to the
Judge advocate general. The crew will be
detained until Judge Remey concludes his
investigation.
An order was issued by the war depart
mert to-day placing Brigadier General
August V. Kautz, commanding the depart
mont of the Columbia, on the retired list
on account of age. 1t is expected briga-
der general to succeed him will be ap-
pointed by the president in few days.
The fact that it is generally recognized
to be the policy of the speaker and the
ways and means committee of the house to
attack the Mckinley tariff law by specific
bills abolishing and greatly reducing duties
on separate articles was strikingly shown
to-day. Some fifteen or twenty bills were
introduced, each proposing to place some
one or more named articles on the free list.
Mr. Andrew of Massachusetts introduced
several bills of this sort. One bill proposed
repeal of the sugar bounties, another plac-
ed raw wool on the free list, third coal and
iron ores, fourth potatoes, beans and peas,
fifth tin-plate, and sixth repealed the au-
thority of the president to reimpose duties
underline reciprocity clause.

of an unusually important nature. The

motion was seconded by Commissioner
Benton. Superintendent Smith was called
-. 4 hs. 70 tho advioa-
bility of having . matron, and said that
for his part he did not think favorably of the
plan. Commissioners Clancy and Andrews
also spoke in vigorous language against the
appointment. The election, however, took
place and resulted in the choice of Mrs. Su
san Ireland, she receiving four votes, while
Mrs Richard Coogan received but two.
Mrs. Ireland was thereupon declared elected
matron and her salary was fixed at $50 per

DEATH OF GEORGE PAGE.
The Expert Locksmith Dies After
Years of Suffering With Diabetes.
George Page, the locksmith, who for
about sixteen years has been in business
on State street between Court and Elm
streets, died early yesterday morning at
his residence, SO Green street. The de-
ceased was afflicted with diabetes, which
so impaired his health that he went abroad
last summer, hoping to receive beneficial
results from the trip to England. He re
ceived no benefit from his journey, but
had a pleasant visit to his birthplace,
which was Birmingham, England, where
he was born in 1881. He came to this
country twenty-six years ago, and has re-
sided in this city nearly all the time since.
He was lockmaker by trade, and was an
expert at his profession.
One of the most intricate pieces of
mechanism which he made was a large
combination lock which for q long time
was on exhibition in his show window at
464 State street. This lock was 30 con-
structed that each turn of the key disclosed
to view the name of a president of the
United States, one at time, in rotation,
from Washington to Garfield.
Mr.. Page was employed at the Bradford
lock works for about 2 years.
The deceased had been under the care of
his physician for years. He was nm
conscious during the last "a hours of his
life which, after much suffering, termin-
ated peacefully and quietly yesterday
morning. The deceased leaves 8 sons and
daughters to mourn the loss of an affec-
tionate father. The oldest son, Albert,
who is foreman of the pattern making
room at Sargent's, is SO seriously i'll with
the grip that he will be unable to attend
the funeral, which is to be attended from
the late residence, SO Greene street, on
