Horsemen All Over the West VIII Help
Make n Great Fair.

Horsemen All Over the West VIII Help
Make Great Fair.
Since the stae board of agriculture
at its annual meeting last week located
the Kansas state fair at Wichita there
is lready a growing interest among
breeders of fine stock in regard to the
next meeting.
Already prominent horsemen are cor
responding with secretary Hewey in
regard to stalls and it has been decid-
! ed to build more stalls on the grounds
to accommodate the horsemen who viii
be here. J. B. Chandler of Fullerton,
Neb., will be here about Feb. with
thirty or forty head of horses to train
on our track. His pay roll last year
was about $1,000 per month.
J. E. Humphrey of Crisco, Ia, is COM
ing with string of trotters to train.
s. A. Morrison and Sam Fuller of Sc
dalia, Mo-, are coming with their two
stables Of trotters and George Whitney
of Oshkosh, Wis, who was here last
summer, is also coming back and will
bring Albert E, KingTose, Homestake
and other noted horses.
These men all write Secretary w. r.
Hewey that they are coming to Wich-
tia to train because OF our mild climate
and good winter track. The associa-
ton have their own sprinkler and the
track will be kept in good condition at
ALL times. II. G. Teller and A. A
Kitzmiller will also train a large string
of horses on the Wichita track Other
local horsemen have engaged stalls
The indication now are that the meet
ing next fall viii be a grand success in
every particular. The officers of the
association are jubilant and are work
ing with a will to make the Kansas
state fair at Wichita the greatest fair
of the west. There are $4,000 of the
capital stock still unsold but the of
ficers think this will be taken at once
by men who are anxious to be identified
with the great fair.
Secretary Hewey thinks the law now
before the legislature in regard to pool
selling ought not to pass. He said:
IF the Cubbison bill becomes a law.
which does away with pool selling and
book making on ther aces. it will large
~ injure that particular feature of our
Kansa fairs, and viii cripple, If not de-
stroy. the speed horse industry. A
similar bill to the above has been
adopted in New York state and / see
from the leading horse papers that the
great running and trotting meetings
heretofore held at Guttenburg, Roches-
ter and other places in that state, viii
be discontinued on that account
want to see that part of the Cubbison
bill defeated, as regards the pool sell
ing and book making.

him and made little speech. He
wished Mr.. Bridgeman official and finan
cial success. He had enjoyed his Of
fetal career because his business with
the court attorneys and the public had
been of a pleasant nature and he sin
cerely hoped that Mr.. Bridgeman would
meet with the same experience. Mr..
Bridgeman was pleased and so were the
people present.

The reporter for the Eagle said:
| Barney, you can tell more about the
| shooting Your son James says that
you told him that you had done hor-
rible thing, and told him that you ought
to kill him.
This seemed to rouse him and he said:
'"That boy would swear my life away
/ guess. Jimmie is a good deal to blame
| for all this trouble. He is ambitious
| and wants to make money for himself,
and was trying to get his mother to
leave me and go with him. He would
go around among the neighbors and
come home and tell his mother things
to make her dissatisfied
After a good deal of urging Barney
Gibbons was induced to give some of
his history in answer to questions.
81 am 45-years-old, and my wife is IS.
We were married in Massachusetts, in
the spring of 1870. Eliyen children have
been born to US, eight are living and
three are dead Our Oldest is a boy,
Ben, who lives in Washington. James
works in the neighborhood and is 49,
years-old. Thomas is Il, and the oldest
girl is 14-years-old. The smaller child
rem run in ages from 10 years down.
The youngest is only l5-montns-old."
I'VE used to live for many years on
farm near Oatyille. We sold that to
go to Washington, but we did not like
it out there and came back. Since that
we have lived out west of town on a
rented farm. have never been
wealthy, but we always managed to get
along pretty comfortably until this
trouble"
what caused the troubie?"
'I cannot tell My wife seemed pos
left me and took our six little children
with her. lived alone and day and
night thought of those children. All
day long / would think of them. It
was the last thing on my mind when I
went to sleep and the first thing that
came to my mind when I awoke. When
cooking my meal I would find myself
talking about the children I did not
know what on earth to do. I could not
maintain two Households and could
not stay at home to take care Of my
children and make living. i thought
so much about my children that I could
not sleep at night"
when did your wife leave you?"
'It was about eight weeks ago that
she left" and then Barney Gibbons
sat down and buried his face in his
hands and showed deep distress.
In appearance Barney Gibbons is not
q vicious looking man. He is about 5
feet IL inches tall and rather slender.
He has clean cut face and is rather
dark with coal black eyes. He GER
tainly does not look like murderer
Mrs Gibbons is short fleshy woman.
and well preserved. She does not look
like to be over 30-years-old.
Dave Wimple of Oatville was in the
city and said that he lived near neigh
Dor to the Gibbons. He said they were
good neighbors and that Barney Glib
bons was considered an upright, honest
man.
Mrs, Gibbons was still alive at 1
o'clock this morning.

Gov ernor Budds Possible Visit to Los Angeles
During Fiesta Week

The following is an extract from a letter
of Col. /. s. Chadbourne to a member of
the governors staff in this city:
1.-The governor will arrange if possible
his matters SO that he can come down
next Wednesday. AT the present time,
however, it is somewhat doubtful, as he
has many important matters requiring
his close personal attention, especially
with reference to the San Francisco and
San Joaquin Valley lease, which is of
vital Importance to the people of the
state and which is now before the gov
ernor and the harbor commissioners. His
intention is to visit Los Angeles and the
southern portion of the state within the
next three weeks to look over the various
state institutions in that locality. Should
he be able to come to your celebration
