1T WAS JOE WALLACE.
Topeka Capital.

Topeka was thrown into another fl
of excitemen Saturday by rumor'
which spread like wild-tire, TO the eff.
feet that Governor dwellings life had
been threatened by one of his own
party.
Shortly after noon the sheriff re.
ceived II telephone message summon
ing him to the state house. This mes
sage was sent from the repu blicsn
house of representatives; at least the
sheriff was so informed. 1t said the
state house was full of rumors that
there was Withholding individual
then in the executive Office who was
suspicioned of being "ofl," and had
come, it was believed, for some evil
purpose. The sheriff went immedi-
ately TO the governor and had a per-
sonal interview.
When the sheriff withdrew from the
executive room into the adjoining Of
flee he noticed man sitting near the
outside door. The man was alone and
appeared nervous, and from the sus-
picion in which he appeared to be held
by all those in the room the sheriff at
once took it that the stranger was the
would-be assassin. Accordingly he
walked up to him and questioned him.
He said he was from Cherokee county
and had been IN the city four days.
After few more words had passed
between them, the Cherokee citizen
suddenly exclaimed TO the sheriff: II
see they are going to decapitate you,
loow This remark was decidedly out
of place at this point in The converse
ton, the sheriff thought, and the fact
that the stranger appeared 10 grow
more and more nervous all the
while, led the sheriff to believe that
there was something wrong with the
mau, and he decided he would watch
him.
A few moments aflerward the sus-
pect left the governors Office. Ac-
cordingly Deputy Tom WilkersOn
started after the man. He walked
about town and talked 10 several diff
ferent persons. The deputy also talked
to these same persons after the suspect
had passed on, but nothing definite
could be learned concerning him. In
this manner the stranger was shad-
owed through the streets, aud mat
tiers became very interesting TO the
deputy, at least. 1t is no telling when
the chase would have ended, had not
Deputy WilkersOn run against man
who happened to know the unknown
individual. 1t was found that the.
man who had caused all the alarm
and excitement was none other than
Joe Wallace, chairman Of the populist
committee of Cherokee county.
He was in the city after position under
the new administration and had only
called Oh the governor for an inler-
view.
