House bill No. 1872, vetoed by Gov. Nc
Graw, was introduced for the express pur-
pose Of SAVING the condemned murderer.
Pecani, who slashed his countryman to
death at Tacoma. The effect of the bill, If
approved, would have been to practically
abolish the death penalty. The present
laws are very mild to murderers, for in
the past i've years only three men have
been hanged in this state by sheriffs.

The view of the rush at u O'clock
from the observatory on the Chicago
school was full Of exciting interest.
With field glass a view Of the long
line Of horses and men densely packcd
for 200 feet back could be seen getting
ready. The shprp crack of a reyolver
was distinctly heard, and Immediately

softened by the distance and the lie
got in motion. Horses were seer to
shoot out from the ruck and dash
across the prairie and then a d. nse
cloud OF dust obscured the line for
a moment, but brisk wind from the
west cleared it away for an instant
and the men and wagons could be
seen scattering as the slowest were left
behind. Now and then o wagon would

A horse was seen to rear in the air
as he was struck by a wagon tongue
and fall back. His rider was up in an
instant and bent over his horse. Then
he arose, and it was plainly seen that
he had been left at the post. The last
OF them were not long in disappearing
over the hill into the valley at the
south line of the Chicago reserve, the
rear being brought up by throng Of
men and women On foot and few
teams in a walk. The trains did not
pull out of the Santa Fe yards till long
after - o'clock, and the jam was then
awful. At least $4,000 people, includ-
ing most of the population of Arkan-
sas City. were there to board the
trains. Special trains from Wichita,
Winfield and other near points came
in loaded with sight-seers. Box, cat

WHAT THE SETTLERS FOUND

After the race was over and when
the settlers looked around to see where
he was he was sore, very sore. The
man who had taken up a homestead
found himself located upon about as
apparently undesirable patch ofland
as could well be found in the length
and breadth of Uncle Sans domain,
excepting possibly portions OF the
American Desert. Prairie fires had
swept great tracts of land and left
them black and uninviting. Other
tracts had been cut clear OF hay by
men who have made a living and
some Of them fortunes gathering the
prairie grass. What hay had been
left by the fires and hay-makers was
parched to crisp by the recent hot
wind and matted on the ground by
