JONES OF Usage.
A Crank Who H. threatening TO XII
People.

A Crank Who H. Threatsntng TO XIII
PeoPie.
The officers are looking for John Jones,
a man who used to live IN Usage county.
He has fancied grievance against ex-
Attorney General Bradford and has
threatened to kill him.
Jones is undoubtedly insane and he
talks only about the great wrong he has
suffered He has been around the city
for some time but has always been con-
sidered harmless until recently, when he
has made repeated threats against Gen.
Bradford's life.
In 1879 Jones and his family lived in
Usage county. His wife became insane
and was sent to the asylum where she
subsequently, died When she was sent
to the asylum she had some property in
her own right and Il is alleged that she
WAS driven insane by her husband who
attempted to force her to turn the
property over to him. After she was
taken TO the asylum guardian was ap-
pointed for her Jones was disappointed
because the property WAS not turned over
to him.
O Gen. Bradford was elected county at
tOrney of Usage county in 1881, and
Jones came to him to ask him to prose-
cute the probate Judge and the guardian
who he said had Gefrauded him out of
his wife's property. After investigating
the case Bedford refused to prosecute
and therefore incurred the ennlitv of
Jones, who afterward went TO Judge
Spillman with his request and the judge
also refused to do anything about the
matter.
When Mr.. Bradford was elected attor-
ney general IN 1884. Jones again hunted
him up and requested him to prosecute
Judge Spillnau, the probate judge and
others, and again lie was refused. Dur
ing BradfOrd'5 two terms the man con
tinuaIly haunted his office and since then
has called upon him repeatedly and de-
manded that his wife's money be return
ell TO him. Gen. Bradford a short time
ago drove him from his Office, and told
him to keep away from him.
At the last meeting Of the city council
Jones came to the council chamber Gen.
Bradford is a member of the council
There was wild stare in his
eyes and he looked dangerous.
He waited until the meeting adj
journed, keeping his eyes on Gen.
Bradford. Bradford saw him and when
he started from the hall he took up his
heavy cane and held it so that he could
use it if necessary. When Jones saw the
cane he walked to one side Of the hall
and let Bradford pass. He however, ac-
costed the mayor and poured his tale of
woe into his ears. He wanted the may
or to proceed against Bradford The
mayor told him he could do nothing.
The officers have been on the lookout
for Jones but have failed to find him.

reason was the order secured from udge

was admitted to the bar and hung out

1870. In 1883 he removed to Topeka,
where he soon rose to the head Of his
profession. His political faith has
changed as many times as his residence.
He was brought up d Democrat, became
a Republican before he was old enough
to vote, followed the fortunes Of Re
publicanism until he located in Kansas
and then returned to the Democratic
fold. He is the leader of the antipJohi-
bitionists in Kansas and was a member
of the legislature in 1884.

desires TO work this summer need
starve next winter. Mayor Pingree is a
very original and picturesque character.
He was born in Ipswich, Mass. in 1910,
and in 1854 began learning the shoe
makers trade in a factory at Hopkin-
ton, Mass. When the war opened, he
Joined Company E of the Fourteenth
Massachusetts infantry and was in the
battle at Spottsylvania Courthouse,
where 500 Of the 1, 500 members of his
regiment were killed.
Pingree then joined the First Massa-
chusetts artillery and shortly thereafter,
while on special duty. was captured by
Mosby's men. General Mosby saw
that Pingree wore good clothes and at
once ordered the young private to change
with him. Pingree was then sent to diff
ferent Confederate prisons and spent
five months in Andersonville. He was
exchanged in 1864, but Immediately re-
enlisted and served during the remain
der of the war.
In 1866 he made Detroit his home
and began work in a shoe factory as a
bench hand Soon thereafter he started
q factory Of his own. Eight persons
were at first employed, but the business
has been SO successful that the factory
now has over 700. Mayor Pingree is
a Republican, but he never dabbled
in politics until 1890, when he was
urged to run for mayor. He did so
and was elected He at once locked
horns with various local monopOlies
that he believed were overcharging the
people and is said to have reformed
many alleged abuses He is now serving
his fourth term as mayor of the city
and it is said proposes to make a fight
in the legislature next winter for the
seat of Unired States Senator Mcmillan.

SPENCER O. FISHER JAMES P. CLARK.
mayor Of West Bay City in 1882 and
was reelected two years later The
Democrats then sent him to congress in
1885. He was reno1ninated and re-
elected and remained in Washington
looking after the interests of his district
two years longer
John P Clark, Arkansas Democrats
candidate for the governors chair, was
born in Mississippi 3s years ago and
removed to Arkansas in 1879. He chose
the law as his profession, and hard
work and natural talent have won for
him high place among the legal lumi-
naries of the state In 1887 he was
elected to the legislature, and two years
later he secured a seat in the senate, Of
which body he was made president In
1892 he was elected attorney general Of
Arkansas, and his recent nomination
for governor was the unanimous act of
the Democratic party. His ambition Is
by no means gratifed, for it is said that
he has both eyes on the toga Of United
States Senator James K Jones, whose
term expires two years hence.
