Judge Thomas la3s Down the Law to
the Train stealers.
LEAvENwoRTH, kas. June 14.-Judge
Thomas of the United States district
court found Captain JOHN A. Ralston,
Color Sergeant Frank E. Woods and
Commissary Ed Hart, leaders of the
band of Coxeyites who sliced a Union
Pacific train at Watkins, Col, and
We're captured at Ellis, Kan, guilty
of contempt in that they interfered
with a road in the hands of receivers.
Judge Thomas held that the actions
of these commonwealers in boarding
a Union Pacific train in large num-
bers over the objections of the train
men and in insisting upon riding on
the train after being ordered off was
equivalent to actual force and con-
stituted an interference with the op-
Grafton of trains in the hands of the
receivers which could not be toll
Grated and that these acts amounted
to a contempt of court. Sentences
will be announced hereafter.

had founded the Stanford university
out of a spirit of revenge and resent
ment because he had not been elected
a trustee of the university of Califor-
MIA. When he was governor of Cali

Mr.. Stanford a regent of the universe

the legislature did not confirm the
nomination. Governor Stoneman
also would have made Mr.. Stanford d
regent, but the honor was declined.
The tariff debate was then resumed,
the pending question being Mr..
Petfer's amendment to restore so per
cent of the duty on raw woods. Mr..
Sherman was recognized and made a
vigorous speech against free wool and

to a girl baby which had two heads.
They were about equal size and were

were in opposite directions. The
eyes, ears, nose and mouth of the
head which faced backward were not
perfect, as it could not breathe, see,

however, was perfect. DR.. Roiscon,
the attending physician, cut off the
head facing backwards and the baby
is doing well. He thinks it may live.

CRIMINALS SET FREE.
Freedom After Twenty Years of Confne-
ment.


ment.
KANSAS CITY, Mo, June 11.-For the
first time in twenty years Arthur
Winner of Kansas City and Joseph w.
McNutt will at sunrise to- morrow
morning be free men. They went
into the Kansas penitentiary as boys
twenty years ago tomorrow, sem
tcaced to be hanged, and they will
leave it tomorrow men well along in
middle life. They will leave behind
them only one man who was there be-
fore the penitentiary gate closed be-
hind them.
The Winner and McNutt case is
probably the most famous in the Grim
inal history of Kansas. Early in 1878
Winner and young McNutt went to
Wichita, Kan, and started a paint
shop. Winner was 10 years old and
McNutt was 20. Soon afterward Nc
Mutt insured his life in favor of
Winner for 5000. One night a few
months after the young men
settled in Wichita some one dis
covered that their shop was on
fire. The people of the town turned
out and extinguished the fire, but
McNutt was missing. The partly
burned body of a man was found in
the ruins Of the building. Winner de-
clared that it was McNutt, but the
people of Wichita did not believe
him. The body was recognized as
that of a tramp known as Texas"
The sudden departure of McNutt and
the fact that his life insurance was in
favor of Winner, though McNutt was
married and father of a child, excited
SO much suspicion hat Winner was
arrested the next day. A few weeks
later McNutt was captured in the
woods in Newton county, Mo. They
were tried for murder. The evidence
was SO convincing that they were con-
victed, and sentenced by Judge w.
p. Campbell, now department com
mander of Kansas, to be hanged,
under the law they went to the peni-
entiary for life.
A letter written by McNutt's wife,
then living III Kansas City, played an
important part in the trial. She had
been informed of the plot by her hus-
band ard on the morning after the
murder a letter was found from her
lmplOrlng him not TO commit the
crime. In that letter were these
words which led to the conviction of
her husband and his accomplice: IF
you carry that on we will all be
ruined. Before l will have the name
of numbering and stealing for wealth,
! will beg on my hands and knees"
She said she had only one dime left in
the world and she sent it as a Christ
mas present to hen husband with her
blessing.
The young men began to serve their
years ago, McNutt's wife secured a
divorce and a few years later was
married again. She is living in Clay
county, Missouri, and has a family Of
growing children.

down an opinion that the eight hour
law is unconstitutional, paying: Sec
tions l and 8 of chapter 81 of the ses-
sion laws of 1891 having provided, in
effect, that for all classes of merchants,
servants and la borers, except those en-
gagged in farm or domestic labor, a
days work should not exceed eight
hours, and that for working any en-
ploye over the prescribed time the en-
ployer should pay extra compensation
in increasing geometrical progression
for the excess over eight hours, the
ate OF payment for the eight hours
being taken as the basis upon which to
reckon such progression; held, that
these provisions are unconstitutional:
first, because the discrimination against
farm and domestic laborers is special
legislation; second, because by the act
in question the constitutional right of
parties to contract with reference to
compensation for services is denied.
The latest weekly crop report of
the Nebraska weather service says:
The drouth has been partially broken
by scattered local showers, and
while crops in the localities visited
by them have cen greatly benefited.
the greater portion of the state is still
suffering badly for rain. Wheat, oats
and all small grain have been seriously,
if not hopelessly injured. Meadows
and pastures are drying up, and fruit
prospects are exceedingly poor. Corn
is generally reported as doing fairly
well. The acreage continues to be in
creased by farmers blowing up poor
fields of wheat and oats and replanting
in corn.

CHICAGO, June BIN a wreck on the
Chicago Great Western road, at Stillman

hurt, nine horses killed outright and seven
injured. Following is a list of the injured
persons: John Lahey, of Gloucester, several
ribs broken; Thomas VIM. of Jersey City.
risht side bruised; H. F. Christie, of Fort
jefferson, N. Y, right side and leg badly
bruised; John Riley, of Lexington, slightly
bruised and burned. 1t is thought the in
juries of none of the boys will prove fatal.
and none Of the injured horses will have
to be killed. Most of the horses in the car
were owned by W. II, Roller, an Eastern
horseman, but none was particularly val
liable. Probably the best horses in the
car were Oakwood and Wightman, owned
by James Cushman. The car of horses
was bound for St. Paul, where the horses
were to participate in the races Of the
Twin City Jockey Club. When the train
was nearing Stillman Valley a draw bar on
one OF the cars pulled out. and, falling on
the track, formed an obstruction which
derailed several of the cars and turned
the one containing the horses on its side.
The horses killed were Mary, Dalsyrian,
Little Fred, Monga, Twilight, Katrinas, In
digo, Panhandle and Azrael. The loss is
eStima ted at so, 900.

TOO MANY LAPAROIOMISTS.
Protest Against Incompetent Wielders
of the Surgeons Knife.

ST. LOUIS. June 1s.-Laparotomy has its
uses and abuses. Surgeons have recognized
it's uses for some time, but they are be-
ginning to discuss its abuses now. The
more conservative physicians of st. Louis
are contemplating a crusade against the
incompetent wielders of the surgeons knife.
Many physicians have complained from
time TO time that capital operations were
being performed when there was no ne
cessity for them. OF these operations lapa-
rotomy seems to have been the favorite OF
the amateur. DR.. Thomas O'Reilly, a prom
inent surgeon of this city, inspired by some
incident which came TO his notice in his
capacity as medical adviser, n which he
refuses to reveal. has written a letter to
Health Commissioner Homan, in which he
called DR.. Romans attention TO the many
deaths resulting from laparotomy. He char
acterized the knife of the surgeon. when
employed in such operations, to be fully as
dangerous as that of the assassin, and, in
the name of humanity, asked DR.. Holman
TO protect sufferers from this operation be-
ing performed. except where it was recon-
mended by two or more reputable physi-
clans.

otherwise damaged. All the windows in
the west side Of the courthouse were
broken, while almost every house in the
city had its chimneys, outbuildings and
fences blown away. Several people were
slightly injured by flying missiles. The

headed northeast, and starting about five
miles from the city. where several farm
houses We're wrecked. No other town ap-
pears to have been in its path. 1t was fol-
lowed by a slight shower and hail, when
