The talent were figuring that it
was dead cinch for Sweeney to win
with Alpha, in spite of the fact that
Chloe had gone down in the twenties

The sports were all figuring down

tips. When they got it sized up
that Alpha was the card, they back

heat was quite close and was any

Chloe broke and Sweeney slid in
first with Alpha, time 2:319 Victor

union he had two children, the oldest
being two years old the ninth of thi,

| mr.. McLemore was q man of great
natural power, and was looked upon n.
leader among his people. He wa,
their constant friend, adviser and COM
panion. Re was elected to the scheol
board in 1884, and served four years in
manner creditable to himself and to
ths very best of the people in general.
In politics he was a staunch Republi-
can but had the courage to oppose his
party when he did not think il In
| accord with his own convictions. He
had always been member of the county
and state conventions, and last fall was
member of the Republican State
central committee. which position he
filled to the satisfaction of his party and
all others interested.
lie was also known throughout Kan
sas as Free Mason in high standing.
Some years ago he was elected O.
member of the police department, and
made most excellent officer. He was
always in the performance of his duty
and his courage never failed him. He
was cool and collected In the perform-
ance of his every duty, and succeeded
In the most critical times to enforce the
laws and to bring the offenders to JUS
tice. His death is universally lamented
by both colored and white citizens.
The ARGUS reporter visited Mr.. Nc
Lemores' home at I'LL 4. Wall street
few moments after the tragedy was
made known to his most excellent wife
and family, and the scene was most
pitiful and heart rending. The young
wife and mother sat with her two
months old babe in her lap, bitterly
bewailing, the sudden death OF her
husband, and refused to hear the CONS
fQrting words of her many friends who
had called to express their sympathy.
The funeral services of officer 3. b,

o'clock. Long before the hour arrived

They then boarded the freight train and
stationed themselves on car just be-
hind the one in which the robbers and
murderers wore secreted in order to
prevent them from escaping. The rob-
bers soon learned that they were dis
covered, and began firing through the
car. The officers returned the fire and
the battle was kept mp until they reach
ed Pleasanton. When the train arrived
ut Pleasanton, Captain Chester at once
summoned q posse OF men armed with
Winchester rifles and surrounded the
car. The robbers saw the crowd OF
men but did not lose their nerve, but
called to them and said they would not
surrender but fight rs long rs they last
ed. The Captain ordered them to drop
their reyolyers and surrender but they
only replied by firing at the officer and
his men. Chester ordered his men to
stand ut cross-fire and riddled the car
with bullets. About fifty shots were
fired and every time the robbers fired
they exposed themselves to the bullets
from tile posse. One OF the robbers
soon made signs IF surrender, and when
the smoke of battle had cleared away
it was found that one Of the robbers had
been killed and the other badly wound
ed. lie signitied his surrender by
l,s,, IN
None Of the Captains posse were in
jured.
The dead and wounded robbers were
carried into the depot at PleasantOn
where the inquest was held.
Saturday evening about s. 80 the
remains OF the dead robber was brought
to this city BY City Marshal Robertson
and others in the same box car in which
he was killed. So great curiosity
was the car, riddled with bullet holes,
and bespattered with the blood of The
victims that the railroad people had to
remove it from the yards in order to
save it from being torn to pieces by
relic hunters.
All day Sunday crowd of excited
people sought and obtained permission
of Mr.. Goodlander to visit the remains
OF the dead robber.
About the time the funeral process
sion was going from the late home OF
MI. McLemore, Myers, the wounded pal
Of Francis was brought from Pleasanton
On tie train due at that time and was
taken off ut the nj. X. l. L. Junction,
placed in closed carriage and rapidly
driven to the County Jail, closely
guarded by Officer Mapes and deputies.
II was soon discovered that the car
risge contained the robber and an i'm
mense crowd was soon following 1t to
the iail. He Is now lying there in
very critical condition with a Win
