Hon. J. r, Mead of Wichita has given
the State Historical society a relic of the

WICHITA, Kan, Feb :. 1898
F. G. Adams. Secretary State Historical Society,
Topeka Kan:
Ny DEAR SIR send you today by ex-
press a shackle cut from the leg of slave
by Robert Mcfarland. since 1877 resident
and busiGesS man of Wichita.
In 1859 Mr.. Mcfarland owned an iron
foundry in Lexington, Mo. A slave owner
named James Hicklin owned slave man
about years of age, who was disposed 10
run away. To prevent this, Hicklin had
made at blacksmith shop shackle. to
which was attached part of log chain,
four feet long, and riveted TO that an iron
ball weighing twenty or twenty-five
pounds. This shackle was rveted around
the uegro's ankle. He had worn it until IL
had cut deep into the flesh, making a
loathsome sore. Mr.. Mcfarland, as a
humane man. t ok the negro TO the forge
shop of his foundry in the night, cut the
rivet, pried open the shackle. and set the
negro free The ball and chain were
thrown into a Shareholders well about
quarter of a mile distant, while the
shackle was buried near the foundry,
where il remained until after the close of
the war Then Mr. Mcfarland dug it up
and has kept it until today he presented it
to me, with wish to have it preserved In
the collections of the State Historical
society, as a relic Of the barbarism of
slavery. Very truly yours,
J. r. MEAD.
Mr.. Mead adds that when a resident of
Lexington, Mo-, Mr.. Mcfarland entered
the Union army and was in Mulligan's
command at the siege of Lexington by
Price in September, 1851 In his foundry
he made shot for Mulligan's command and
assisted to use them against the enemy.
He was afterwards in Blunt's Deitzler's,
Harding's and Pleasanton's commands.
After the war, in defiance of rebel senti-
ment. Mrs. Mcfarland opened and taught
a negro school in the basement of her
house at Lexington, Mr.. Mcfarland de-
Tending her and her school with his guns
for many months, until the rebel inten-
ton Of preventing negro education was
abandoned.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Ind. Oct. 1.-THE first
real clew to the murder of the six members
of the Wratten family has been discovered
in the finding of the weapon with which
the fatal blows were dealt. Coroner Nc
Gown, on making an additional investiga-
ton of the murder, found a corn knife in
crack between the logs of the Wratten
smokehouse. 1t had been made of an old
scythe. On it's blade were found unmis-
taxable blood stains, and a number of
human hairs. The hairs were of various
lengths and colors, showing that the weapon
had been used on several heads. A quilt on
which was found the bloody outline of a
corn knife was brought out and it was
found that the knife fitted the imprint of
blood. This afternoon the bodies of the
murdered family were exhumed, and the
gashes on their heads indicated that the
wounds were made by the corn knife and
by left-handed person. Kase one of the
suspected men. is left-handed. 1t is said
the officers know who owned the corn
knife. This may prove a good clew.

all being broken. There were three races
on the programme. The first was the 2:l4

ond choice, Pixley. Directum lost the Sec
ond heat to Pixley, but won the first, third
and fourth, the heats being the fastest ever
made, consecutively, in a race, the four
heats averaging 2:0S15. The third and last
race for the 2:29 trotting class, developed
a slashing good youngster in Silent Brook,

CHICAGO, Oct 1.-THE weather contin-

are swarming through the gates of the

The directors of the fair rendered q re-
ception tonight to State and foreign COM
missioners. A few of the national commits
sioners were invited. The majority, how
ever, were not favored with invitations, the
members of the directory dseming the invi-
tation list too large. The national commits
Sioners were given reception last spring,
and for this reason they were not invited
as a body tonight. The banquet was given
as farewell function 10 the foreigners and
State commissioners who have so material
ly aided in making the fair success. 4
special Illinois Central train was provided,
and the guests got aboard at the Twelfth
street station. The banquet was held in

DIG FIGHT IN PROSPECT.
The United States Glass Company Will
Start with NOnunion Labor.


GAS CITY, Ind, Oct. 1.-THE United
States Glass Company, operating seventeen
factories. their largest being at Gas City,
has resolved to go to work with nonunion
labor, and has issued a circular to the
union men giving them till the 18th inst. to
go to work, not as union men, but as indi-
viduals. The Gas City factory will have
about eight hundred operatives, and nom
union men will be put to work the first of
next week. large number of union men
are In the city. They are confident the
company cannot successfully operate with
nonunion men, and will ask them to return
in body. In the meantime they will each
receive a strike benefit of Sc per week. They
claim that no violence will be used to pre-
vent nonunion men from working, as the
strike must prove a success without re-
course to such methods, but it is confident
ly predicted on all sides that there are ugly
times ahead and that 1t will require inter-
ference of the county State to prevent
bloodShed. The management is arranging
to put a solid fence about its works, and
it now has a large boarding house on it's
grounds which can be included within the
barricade. Both sides are strong and
wealthy organizations, and a long, hard
struggle is inevitable.
