An Excursionist Has His Shoes Stolen off
His Feet at Lawrence.

the Santa Fe excursion to Leavenworth
Saturday had his shoes stolen in a most
remarkable manner. They were abso-
luteIy stolen right off his feet He was
in very good spirits when he boarded the
train to come home at o'clock Saturday
night and was far enough used up to be
sleepy. So sleepy was he that he strung
himself out along seat and let his feet
stick out of the window to the Kansas
zephyrs.
His shoes were new and when the
train stopped at Lawrence they took the
fancy of some fellow as short of con-
science as he was of shoes and he was
not slow in unlacing them from the feet
of the sleeping man and then he pulled
them off The final tug was necessarily
a hard one and the sleeper realizing in a
dim and uncertain way that something
was wrong made grab out of the win :
dow but his shoes were gone and he
walked home from the train in the June
starlight and his stocking feet.

DEATH AT GARDEN CITY.

Erightfu1 Killing of Young Charles Zlm-
norman by q Horse.
The Garden City Sentinel relates the
story OF the killing of Charles Zmmer-
man, the 12-year- old son of J. P. Zim-
norman. The boy started out to the
pasture q short distance from the house,
f with the intention of BRING ng the herd
of cows home. He rode big black
mare owned by his father. All went
we'll till he had got nearly home with
his charge, and was about $50 yards from
the house. At this place he was met by
Herbert Stocks and some more boys in a
wagon. After driving some distance
Stocks, looking back, saw a body lying in
the road. He saw no signs of the horse,
and at once came back TO see what was
the matter. Charley lay there all in
heap, his clothes badly torn, the back of
his head torn nearly of, one arm nearly
severed from his body and the other
badly bruised. He was unconscious and
was carried to the house where he was
laid down. He expired at twenty min
utes past eleven o'clock on the same
night, without having regained con-
seriousness. The supposition s that the
horse fell down and threw the boy of.
Nj srks were found on the knees OF the
animal which strengthened this theory.
One of the boys feet got fast in the stir
rup and be was dragged along by one
leg for about one hundred yards. The
horse probably kicked him In the back,
as one of his ribs was broken.

It Was Floating Above "OId Glory and
Veterans Wouldn't Stand 1t.
SUSPENSION BRIDGE, N. Y, June "a
The construction of the trolley line
along the American bank of the Niagara
river has resulted in the contractors
bringing into the locality several hun
dred Italian laborers to live in camps
along the route OF the line between this
city and Lewiston.
One of the largest of these camps is
occupied by about 300 Italians and they
had demonstration on the occasion of
their raising flagstaff some go feet long,
from the top of which they fioated Italy's
flag.
Below it on the same staff they nailed
small American flag. The prominence
that was given to Italy's flag and the ap-
parent insult to the stars and stripes was
the subject of more than one comment
The Italians were advised to change the
flags, but they paid no attention.
Orlando E Wilson, veteran of the
civil war, who wears medal for bravery
displayed, in company with four men
named Michael Fitzgerald, John Gala
; han, Charles Hickey and Edmund Elan
ders, marched on the camp. Arriving
there they demanded that the Italian
flag be lowered from the staff The 1tal-
ians were little disposed to heed the re-
quest. Take that flag down." said Will
son, ''or I'll shoot it down"
There was a great chattering in their
native tongue, after which one, appar-
entity the leader of the camp, gave the
men orders to pull the flag down.
As the Italian emblem came down
within reach of uplifted hands, the
Italians grabbed it and showered their
kisses upon it,

They Arc Organizing p E1l1DustOrtnG EX-
petition in San Francisco.
CHICAGO, June PA Times Herald
special from San Francisco says:
For several weeks there has been
much anxiety among the colony of Ha-
waiian exiles here. Small groups are
seen in earnest consultation.
Today Hawaiian Consul Wilder re-
vealed the secret of this activity, which
is the organization of new
filibustering expedition to carry
one hundred picked men and a
large supply of arms and ammunition to
Hawaii Wilder is skeptical of the real
strength of the expedition, but etiIl he
admits that the exiles here are desperate
men and that they have strong financial
backing.
Many of these men will be ruined if
forced to abandon much longer their
property interests in Hawaii, and they
are ready for any desperate scheme that
promises to change the government in
Honolulu.
1t is known the arms and ammunition
have been ordered at the east and they
are probably on the way here.

MAss1LLoN, Ohio, June 24.-Bride-
groom Browne, according to his latest
illumination, is proceeding to Washing
ton by easy stages, where he expects to
be the central figure in the reunion of
the pining commonweaL The necessity
for preceding by ''easy stages" is plain,
in view of the fact that he was obliged
to borrow % cents to get as far as Can

viGed him with the marriage license, for
which no fee was paid, and. an easy GO
ing justice tied the knot on the same
terms.
The bride, nee Coxey. travels from
town to town in street attire, with her
bridal outfit in a carpet bag. This trous-
seau was secured by Browne through an
obliging acquaintance, and consists of a
gown of null, cheap white veil and a
pair of white shoes, all of which cost
$4.82. Brownies programme is to deliver
daily speeches, while his wife sells ''re-
