TALKED ABOUT EARLY DAYS.
Judge johnson Of the Appellate Court
Ncrsed in Kansas History.

Judge Johnson. presiding judge of
the southern division of the appellate
court is a thorough Kansan. After
the business ofthe court was completed
yesterday he sat in the clerks office,
near an open window and talked freely
and in a reminiscent mood with those
present all of whom were interested
and admiring listeners; for the judge is
not only an encyclopedia in earl Kansas
history but he has facinating way of
reciting il that gives all what he says
a charm.
Judge Johnson, like all the prominent
surviving pioneers Of Kansas is a gen.
tleman Of strong character and a fine
personality. He has a wonderful men,
ory and what he does not remember of
the events in this state for forty years
is not worth remembering. He talks al
most exactly like his son John, who was
the chairman of the judiciary commit
tee and the constitutional authority
of the lower house Of the legislature last
winter.
4 few days ago DR.. Wood, one Of
the early settlers of Kansas, told an
Eagle reporter that Quantrelrs real
name was Charlie Hart and that Gov
ernor Shannon gave him the name of
Quantrell in predicting that he would
be to war life on the border what a
man with similar name was TO a
SpdHISn-AHlerlcan TeEOlutlOn. JuOSe
Johnson says that Bill Quantrell was
the famous guerrilla's real name and
tells how he came to have the name of
Charlie Hart. Quantrell came TO Kan
sas with a man named Beeson from
Ohio where he was his fathers assis-
tant superintendent Of schools of Ca
raj Dover. and settled in Johnson coun-
ty where he began teaching school.
Some time afterwards he stole Bee
sons oxen and hid them in the woods
- as to get the reward for their re-
which he did after due time.
'Beeson, after paying him the reward,
learned of Quantrell's trick and made
It so hot for him that he had to leave
the country and go to Lawrence where
he adopted the name of Charlie Hart.
Judge Johnson has Quantrelfs biogra-
ply down pat" and tells a very in
teresting story of his subsequent life,

COLLISION OF TwO TEAMS.
Wounded Horse and a Badly Shattered
Milk Wagon.

Yesterday every Office in the court
house was deserted on account of a
runaway. Captain and Mrs. Mason
were driving up Market street and at
Central their horse took notion 10 run
away and such furious kicking as il
did en- route none of the spectators
ever saw. They disappeared south of
the Jail and a womanS scream was
heard. All ran TO the scene thinking
that Mrs. Mason had been seriously
hurt. 1t was not Mrs. Mason that
screamed, 1t was the woman who drove
the city dairy wagon and her team MAS
laying PROSTATE on the pavement with
one of them bleeding terribly from the
opening OF an artery in its leg by the
sharp edge or point of the broken wag
on tongue. One wheel of the dairy
wagon was in smithereens and milk.
cream, buttermilk and broken eggs
were scattered about in all directions.
DR.. Ward attended 10 the horse and
saved it from bleeding 10 death. No
person was hurt but several were badly
frightened.

Immense German Wedding Held at Andale
Last Night.

Last night Henry Schnitzler. Char
lie Mossbacher, Cliff Sawyer, James
Emo and other we'll known Germans
went out TO Andale TO attend the we'd
ding of Herman Leindicker to Miss
Leis. II was the biggest wedding ever
held in this county, probably. All the
Germans for fifty miles were invited
and wagon load after wagon load of
incidentels for an elaborate banquet
were taken out there. As no house was
big enough TO hold the crowd the feast
was given in the orchard Of the pros
porous German parents.

her calculation are correct and that the

When asked what she would do if the

do not believe any of them ever do that.
The church takes care Of its own poor
and 1t is out of debt. They never solicit
aid outside nor get up any devices to
get money from the public. The coun-
fy officers are drawn upon a great deal
but nobody ever saw anyone in the
court house begging for the Oak Street
Baptist church.
Now that is the way TO run church
and I think the other churches here
might learn something from this color

church are entitled to a good deal OF
credit for the management of their
church affairs, for you know the color

Florida This Spring.

Mr.. and Mrs. 9. c. RushbinS. whose
home is In Topon Springs, Florida. have
returned 10 Wichita, the great health
resort, to spend the summer.
Mr. Rushing says people in the north
err states have but faint idea of the
damage done by excessive cold weather
in Florida last winter. They had two
cold snaps but the one that did the
damage was on the 2Sth day Of Feb
ruray, after the sap had begun 10 run

In a harge section of the orange belt
the trees are totally destroyed, and Mr..
Rushing says when people here realize
that some Of these orange groves cost

ing. Arthur Van Week pretended to
drink laudanum at the home of Frank
Brown. His sweetheart. Miss Emma
Mccall, who was with him and who knew
the bottle had contained poison, tainted.
They were to have been married last
night.
Frank Brown came home about this
time and severely rebuked Van Week
for such foolishness The young people
left and the quarrel was continued with
his wife. She suddenly produced the
bottle into which she had poured the
lsudanum from the one which originally
contained it and began drinking it.
Brown jerked the bottle away and de-
stroyed the stuff. Physicians were quick
ly called and with a stomach pump took
what poison she had swallowed from her
and saved her life.
The fluid which Van Week drank
from the first bottle was nothing but
water which had been substituted for
the laudanum by Mrs. Brown.

Habeas Corpus Proceeding Filed in
That Court To-day May Not be
Heard for Some Time.
Judge s. W. Vandivert and County
Attorney C. A. Dyer of Kinsley, Ed
wards county. are in Topeka today for
the purpose of fling hsbsas corpus pro-
ceedings in the supreme court to test the
law covering the hanging of prisoners in
the state penitentiary under death
sentence.
The petition fled asks the supreme
court to release from the state peniten-
tiary and turn over to the sheriff of Ed
wards county the two young men who
murdered Mayor Marsh of Kinsley.
The point raised in the proceedings is
that advanced by Judge Houk, of Hutch
inson, who said the prisoners can
be released from the peniten-
tiary by habeas corpus proceedings
and then taken before Judge
Vandivert in the district court who can
pronounce the death sentence and order
the sheriff to hang the prisoners.
If the supreme court decides that this
can be done the murderers of Mayor
Marsh will be hung and precedent
will be established which may be far
reaching in its results in the criminal
courts of Kansas.
