Wellingtonians Successful.

1t will doubtless please some of all
political parties here who do not al
ready know it, to learn that, at leasts
three former Wellingtonians have
been successful candidates IN the
strip. Conductor George Bradfeld,
who is so favOrably known here, has
made a successful campaign in the
territorial district including Wood
ward, and will in the future sit in the
legislature. Another Of Wellington's
sons in the person of Joe DodsOn is
now county attorney elect Of o county
Oklahoma, so say unofficial returns.
Quite number here will doubtless
be glad to learn of his success. Re-
turns also show Elsie Thralls to be
elected sheriff of 0 county Oklahoma.
Mr.. Thralls Will doubtless make a
fearless officer, as his efficiency in that
line has been demonstrated in this
county in earlier days.

was walking along the street near
Ellis Il Rush'S livery barn. some un-

The man grabbed at Mr.. Rowel's

upon the head, bringing him to his

A GOLD BRICK MAN.
He Is Arrested on Quincy Street
Today,
After Swindling anAgedFarmeI
Out Of $1,000.
HE'S ALL INNOCENCE.

Undeceived.
Believes That the Brick is Pure
Gold.

A red whiskerad man who gives his
name as George Gordon was arrested in
Topeka today by Sheriff NaylOr of Jack
son county and ex- Chief Of Police John
W. Gardner OF Topeka He il charged
with having conhdsnced $1,035 out of
Henry G. Trenear who lives on y farm
two miles south OF Holton.
Monday evening Gordon, as he calls
himself. called at the farm of Trenear,
who is 20 years old, and worked himself
into the old mans confidence. On Tues
day Gordon came bacA from the woods
on the old mans farm and told him that
there was Indian camped down
there who had bar Of gold
that weighed forty pounds, that he de-
discovered a gold mine in Arizona, ard
this Was a sample of the gold.
He finally brought the brick up to the
old man to look at and asked him to bore
piece out, which he did with brace
and bit. Gordon then took the bOr-
ings lack to the Indians campfire
wnere hs said he wovld melt them into
a lump that would be easier taken care
Of Soon he came back with the lump
and il was tested by an alleged jewelsr
who said it was worth $2OO5 an ounce.
This, OF course, would make the bar
worth SO $50 The Indian would
sell the bar for half Of that and it
would be a great scheme If they could buy
the bar together and take it to the mint
at Philadelphia and sell it The Indian
must have something on the brick, how
ever, 50 Irenear went 10 HOlton aud tell
ing his stOsy succeeded in bor-
rowing $1,000 on his farm and stock.
Gordon had some influence over the In
dian, who, by the way, Trenear never
saw, and he was to take possession of the
brick aud 2 and Trenear would come to
Topeka, where the exchange would be
made. and they would 60 to the mint
TO cash in. The Indian was to stay till
they got back.
People at Holson had tried to dissuade
Irenear from making the trade, but he
would not listen, so finally the sheriff
took the matter into his own hands and
followed Trenear to Topeka at 1 o'clock
today, where he was to meet Gordon.

street NavlOr and Gardiner folIowed

gat apart before they arrested them, aud
took Gordon to the county Jail
Gordon is medium sized man with
heavy red whiskers, and very wisely will
say nothing about the case
Trenear is a small man and is GER
tainly the most gullible being it was ever
the fortune of a confidence man to run
across. He still believes the brick is
good gold and all right.
The Indian IN the case is supposed to
be a myth
The $1,000 in cash is in possession of
Sheriff Burdge and the only thing Cor
don succeeded in getting was $35 that
Trenear had let him have to pay start

Condition Serious.

Casey remains there as superintendent
The disgraceful management of the
state insane asylum uUder the manage
ment Of Dr.. J. FL. McCasey becomes more
clearly Visible every day even to the peo-
pie who do not want to see.
The latest sensational affair in this
state institution is one OF heartless
cruelty on the part of John Laughlin, an
attendant who is one of DR.. MeCasey's
pets
Yesterday morning in the brick build
ing where LGughlin is employed in one
OF the wards old man was knocked
down and 80 badly injured that an opera
tion will likely have to be performed to
save his life. The old mans hip was
dislocated.
The injured man, who is one Of the
Tended Laughlin in some tridiag man
ner and Laughlin thereupon knocked
him down with his fist.
The old man fell in such manner
that his hip was pulled from Its socket,
and his condition is today reported TO be
serious.
A few weeks ago another attendant,
named Joe 6teppen, knocked down and
pounded patient after he was down
and then kicked him to make him get
up.
Complaint was made to DR.. McCasey
about the affair, and he pretended TO
make investigation and reported that
there was nothing in the story. He was
much afraid that the story would reach
the ears of the public.
When the state board of charities came
around at their last meeting they were
complained to about the Steppen case.
The board made an investigation which
resulted in stephens being discharged
DR.. McCasey, with whom he was "a great
favorite, kept him around a few days
and then gave him a recommendation
first class attendant. Steppen went
directly. to Clarinda, Iowa. where he at
once secured a position on DR. McCasey's
recommendation.
Several other discharged employees
have secured positions at Clarinda on
the recommendation of DIR. NcCasey, and
Attendant LaughIin Will no doubt get
Job there if he is unfortunate enough to
be- discharged by the board. The board
doesn't seem to have gumPtion enough
to discharge the cause of all the trouble,

Laughlin is registered a Democrat,
and is credited TO Anderson county in
the list of appointments.
