In seeking to attach his fortunes to the
Populists and TO the silverites at the
same time Senator Hill seems TO have
made another tactical mistake Of ex.
cessive shrewdness. There was no oc.
casion for shrewdness. II, perchance,
he did attach the extreme silveritss to his
cause, Of what more avail viii It be to him
than to attach the solid delegation Of
the New York machine TO his fortunes
in 1892 when the whole Democratic party
was against him Senator Hill is so
efficient and powerful in machine poll
tics that his weakness in craftsmanship
appears pitiable. He accomplishes the
untoward and fatal purpose OF forcing
Democrats to defend men and measures
against his unnecessary attacks, un.
wholesome personal spite and inexcus.

AN OLDTiNFR.

Captain J. H. Wimple OF Norfolk. Va,
was in the city yesterday. He has been on
pleasure tour to the worlds fair, visiting
relatives in Michigan and concluded his
vacation by sojourn with his brother, NJ
D. Wimple of this county. He was pre-
pairing to depart for Norfolk when met.
Captain Wimple Will be remembered by
the oldtimers as character, man of
daring and sterling worth. He came 10
Wichita when there was but ono house to
mark the location of the present metropo-
lis. He took claims upon the Cowskin and
engaged in the cattle business. While
thus employed the notorious "Eigh roller"
(cattle thief Walker, a partner of Curly
Marshall, stole fifty head of cattle belong
ing to the captain. The latter followed
the thief to Dodge City. where they met
in a deadly duel. Walker fred three shots
with navy revolver and Captain Wimple
fired five with Winchester. Walker was
riding Curly Marshall's horse and he and
the animal were both killed, while Wimple
came out without a scratch. lie was
readily acquitted and recovered his cattle.
The captain commanded company in the
Thirteenth Michigan regiment. and
though residing in state now where
titles are easily acquired. he is still plain
old Captain" and will be remembered by
all the oldtimers.

ABOUT SCHOOL LANDS.

A good many inquiries have been made
recently by Wichita people and others re-
gard!ng the school lands in the Cherokee
strip. To these gentlemen the following
from letter, written by Governor Rem
trow of Oklahoma, to Z. j. Knight of
Cowley county, will be of interest. Gov
ernor Renfrow says:
by act Of congress the school lands of
Oklahoma territory are to be leased by the
governor. under rules prescribed by the
secretary of the interior. AS soon as III
structions are received from the depart
ment, publication will be made on said
lands. Sealed bids must be sent IN upon
forms of applications prepared by this
office before the day set for the opening OF
said bids When the bids are opened,
awards will be given to the highest bidder.
One person is entitled to only one quarter
section. The minimum price will be SO
per ouarter per year. Payment must be
made in cash or by notes with approved
security No provision has as yet been
made for releasing school lands. but no
doubt some Just an equitable rule VIII De
made. protecting both the settler and the
school fuud. No priority viii be gained
on account of settling on school land In
the Cherokee strip. Sales OF school land
will not be made until Oklahoma becomes
state All business connected with
leasing the school lands will be transacted
by the governor at Guthrie.

HANGING NEAR CALDWELL.
Herman Banner Of Denver Taken From :
Tree Limb, Dead.

A report reached the city last night.
brought I'D by a man named Clayton,
that Herman Banner of Denver WAS
found hanging to a tree few hundred
wards north of the Cherokee strip line and
almost directly south OF Caldwell, yesteF-
dav about noon. Mr.. Clayton said that
there was suspicion prevailing that
Banner had been hung as sooner, ana
that two young men WHO were con-
testing clalm with him IN the
strip a. few miles distant, were
suspected OF the crime. He was
asked why the crime should be committed
so far away from the claim and In that
manner, and he stated that there was
suspicion that the man was hung on the
Kansas side OF the line SO as to avoid the
death penalty. il the perpetrators should
ever be brought to justice.
Later: Mr. Chipchase, who was down
in Sumner county and returned late last
night, confirms the statement OF the hang
ing, but alleges that the story told IN
Wellington was to the effect that Banner
committed suicide over some disappoint-
ment he met in the strip with reference
to claim. He stated, also. that
Banner had all the appearances OF
a German, in good circumstances,
and was about 40 years of age. In his
pockets were found Sl3 in money, four
baggage checks, promissory note for $50
due Oct l. and several other papers that
indicated him to be man Of some means
and good standing at his home. 1t was
found in the afternoon when the hanging
became generally known that the baggage
represented by the checks was at one OF
the railroad depots and consisted princi-
pally of bedding and such other articles as
boomers usually carried with them
When found he was supposed to
have been dead about ten hours.
