MANY VARIETIES ARE PLANTED.
sage of the Cowsktn SAYS Somebody will
have Good Corn.

Pat Mcdonald. the old settler on the
CowSkin. was in the city yesterday and
had something To say about the corn
crop. He is called the sage OF the
Cowskin because OF his philosophy.
Mr.. Mcdonald left Ireland after he
had grown 20 manhood and he is an
intense American. He does not want
anything English IN his and on the sill
Yer question he says he is in favor %
shutting England out OF the council
and protecting our own silver mines
by reciprocity with the silver standard
countries.
Yes. now about the corn" said Nj
Mcdonald. We are bound 10 have
some good corn anyhow, because there
are so many varieties planted. I have
never seen anything like Il before.
Everyone seems TO have taken the no

obtained from many northern states
and every early variety has been given

WHERE is MOONEY?
LAST SEEN GOING TOWARD THE
RIVER NIGHT BEFORE LAST.
Like Poor Rip Van Wrinkle. Pat Mooney is
Wife-He Throws His Hat in the Yard
and WAS Last Seen Going in the Direc-
ton of the River-AIrs. Mooney Tells
Her StOry-She In Heart Broken and
Says Tom Covil Drove Her Away and
Sicked the Dog on Her.

Sheriff Royse and his deputies are
| anxiously inquiring for Pat Mooney.
He was seen going toward the Big river
bridge night before last, but the man
has not been found who saw him cross.
The sheriff's officers told Mrs. Moon
ey yesterday that they were afraid that
Pat had plunged into the river. and
this very minute his corpse was float
ing toward the Gulf of Mexico. Mrs
Mooney laughed at the idea, but there
were tears in her eyes.
Mrs. Mooney was arrested several
days ago for disturbing the peace of
the community on the West Side where
she lives, and was lodged in the county
Jail. She was turned out day before
yesterday and proceeded toward home,
and commenced to mako il lively for
her husband. Pat Mooney. And when
night came the storm became so terri
fic that poor Pat threw his hat in the
yard and started toward the Maple
street bridge, since which time the off,
GERS have been unable TO hear anything
of him.
Pat Mooney is man about 65-yearS
of age, and even Mrs Mooney admits
tIdl III lOIHlcI QdyS lie WIS lIluUSlllOuS-
though he was in the habit of spending
his money too freely after he had work
ed for it. But the interesting question
is, what became of Patrick Mooney
when he left home night before last?
Some OF his friends are afraid that
something serious has happened to him.
a reporter for the Eagle saw Mrs.
Mooney at the court house yesterday
interviewing Commissioner Webb and
County Clerk Carvin, and he broke in
on the conversation abruptly and said:
Mrs. Mooney, where is your nus
band. Patrick MONEY!"
And sure and why do you ask me
that question:"
Because the deputy sheriffs say that
you drove Pat from home last night,
and that they are afraid he is drowned
in the river or committed suicide
II am just poor broken hearted
woman. And sure Pat is somewhere
about. / did not drive him away. I
just went home and told Pat to give me
the key and he threw down his hat in
the yard and left"
Have you seen him since?"
The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1895-07-04

Sure. and / thought I saw him at a
distance this morning. He used to be
good to work, but now he is a tramp.
and goes off and leaves me alone. We
| have separated now, its no use, we can
not live together any more. He left me
all alone last summer and went out TO
the county farm. He left me all alone
and / got on the street cars and rode
as far as they went and then walked
all the way to the county firm. 1t
was II O'Clock at night when l got there
all alone. L called for Pat to come to
me, and the overseer drove me out of
the ward and sicked the dog on me-
Was it Mr.. Covil? Tom Covil did
not do that"
Sure and he did. He drove me
away in the dark and sicked the dog on
me-"
Then Mrs. Mooney left and said she
was going home. She seemed anxious
10 have the officers find out that Pat
IS safe, but she declared that their do
mestic happiness was al an end
The officers were making inquiries for
Mr. Mooney last night, but nothing
could be learned OF his Wherea bouts

RESTORING THE SALARIES.
Supervisor brennan then moved that
the vote whereby the salaries of the
chalngang keepers were reduced from
Sl0O to $40 be reconsidered.
Supervisor Curtis was opposed to the
motion. He said the rock cost to lay it
on the roads from 81 to So per yard.
Crushed cobbles could be purchased for
less money. When there is no rock the
keepers are idle. The granite crushed by
the chaingang costs more than superior
rock. The Sheriff could direct his depu-
ties to watch the chaingang and the cost
would be less to the county.
supervisor Jenkins said it was rather a
late day in which to commence to reduce
salaries. The keepers are subject to the
Sheriff IS orders at all times, and 500 per
month was, in his opinion, none too
much.
Chairman Morrison said he is in favor
OF paving good wages. The granite that
is broken by the chaingang costs about
81 10 a ton and is used to good purpose.
The motion to reconsider was carried
by the votes of Morrison. Jenkins, Dre-
man and Todd, Curtis voting no.
A recess was then taken until 10 o'clock

OLD MAN DAMON'S SLAYERS.

Manuel and Dick Srrybe Sentenced to
Ten Years at Folsom.
Manuel and Richard Strybe, convicted
of manslaughter for killing A. G. Damon
some six years ago by administering
morphine to him, were yesterday sem
fenced to ten years. Imprisonment in the
State Prison at Folsom by Superior
Judge Johnson.
The court refused to grant them new
trial or to discharge them on the grounds
offered by their attorney, Hiram w.
Johnson.
Regarding the allegation of prejudice
on the part OF the jury for having been
informed by Deputy Sheriff Ben O'Neil
that ten years was the maximum penalty
Tor manslaughter, Judge Johnson said
that IN his opinion the information so OBJ
tanned did not prejudice the jury. O'Neil
told the truth. and there was no harm in
that.
The allegation that the defendants
should have been convicted of murder in
| the first degree, if convicted at all, on the
alleged ground that a person charged
with murder by administering poison
could not be convicted of anything else,
was not sustained. The court said man
slaughter IS included within the scope of
murder.
tho oSleuuautS attorney was given
thirty days in which to file bill of eX-
ceptions.
When asked if they had anything to
say why judgment should not be pro-
nounced against them, the defendants
answered that they had not.
Judge Johnson said he had received a
letter from defendants parents in Oregon
asking him to be mercitul to their sons,
but that he could not heed it, He then
sentenced them 10 ten years each.
