to the ascertainment of the cause of
the buildings collapse.
Col. Ainsworth addressed q letter
to Coroner Patterson today COM
planning that the jury were preju-
diced against him by the testimony
of the disafected clerks and riotous
proceedings of previous illegal en-
quiry, and urging his right to be
present by counsel and cross exam
inc Witnesses. Coroner Patterson
refused the request. Expert testi.
mony as to the building was taken
mp to recess at 1890 p. m.
Ainsworth's attorney was in the
| hall this morning few minutes be-
fore the inquest began, but he
| withdrew before Coroner Patterson
raped the jury to order. Distric;
Attorney Thomas sat with the cor
oner, and the police lieutenant was

no evidence of snoring.
He was asked if the work in prt

: "Would you have undertaken Il
!. work without shoring?" asked t!
- District Attorney.
q "No, sir; and in my opinion tn
was the cause of the disaster"
. Architect Clark, of the CapitI
% gave his opinion that the buildil
was safe before the excavation W

and the ladies were seated in the center of
the car. just behind Miss Tiffany was a
mlld-looking young man, with basket
which looked as if it might contain fruit.
Soon after the train started Miss Tiffany

gentlemen of the company to her and
whispered to him. He as once spoke 10
the mild-looking young man and requested
him to keep his feet To himself. A blank
look came over the miid-looking youth 8

just then Miss May Warren jumped up
and left her seat hurriedly, and little Jes-
sic Bertram gave n scream and said some
thing had bitten her foot off The mild
youth then examined his basket and it
was empty. A further search discovered
in a corner, under the water cooler, "a

De sentenced to prison again under pro-
vision of the state law which declares that
prisoners who attempt to escape can be
taken before district judge and sentenced
TO serve their terms over again. Judge
Myers refused to sentence the prisoners
and declared the law unconstitutional. in
hsmnch as iJ violated the constitution of
the United States and the state Of Kansas
by depriving a man of his liberty without
trial by jury. The judge also held that
penitentiary officials could not hold their
prisoners day longer than their regular
terms under any prison rule or preteXt.
Judge Myers decision also applies so the

was placed in the county Jail here at the
expiration of his term to await trial for

The prosecuting attorney is not satisfied

M,cURTAIN,s SHORTAGE.

TUsKAHoMA, I. Z. Oct, 1o.-It has been
discovered that the shortage of Ex-Treas-
urer McCurtain is s5S3000. 1t is not un-
likely that this figure will be increased
Attorney General G.. e. Nelson has the
figures for the shortage in the
lease district money. He has de-
Quoted the attorneys fees and
expenses for paying the money out.
The difference in the amount he has
paid out for per capita and the amount ne
turned over TO his successor is 1854, S44, III
addition TO Sl19, 600. making a total short
age of $453, ,S44 on the lease district money.
Besides this. DIR. Enwright. national
agent, has turned over TO him $l30. 600, col
lected as ROYALTIES. None of this has been
accounted for.
1t will take the finance committee some
time to complete his accounts. Ills
friends are beginning to desert him.
Governor Jones will not do anything dur
ing McCurtain's absence, as McCurtaln
was his adviser. The Legislature has been
blocked for the present, The finances
of the nation were never in such condition
before. There are a number OF persons
here now with claims against the nation,
and all seem to he patient,as they know
there is but 5000 of available cash to
pay their claims and the legislature is ID
session at an enormous expense.
Its said that McCurtam has over $50
600 of the leased district money deposited
IN IA bank in Missouri and has never drawn
a cent of it out. Ii he does not come up
with the cash there will be trouble, as it Is
characteristic OF the Indians to seek re-
