Bob Freeman's Escape

Some very peculiar statements
with reference to certain facts con.
tain facts connected with the sensa-
tional escapade at Mulvane are beiLg
made.
1t has been reported here for the
past day or two that Freeman told
certain parties that he was not COM
ing back no matter whether he got
bond or not. Then again it has been
said that when he went TO the livery
stable to get his team, he went up
stairs, changed his clothing, packed his
grip sack and put it into the surrey.
T. r. Mordy is in the city today and
informs us that these facts are COM
mon talk on the streets Of Mulvane.
He says further that when Geo. W.
Hill returned from Clearwater with
the team, he said that Freeman took
his grip out Of the surrey when be
left the team in the Clearwater livery
stable.
II these statements are true, it is
evident that his escape was a prear-
ranged affair. We do not mean TO be
understood that Sheriff WOOdcOck
was a party to any such deal. We be-
lieve he was the victim Of cOnspir-
acy. His great confidence in himself
made him an easy victim, if this
theory is correct.

A Mistake.


Dhllg HAL ".
On Thursday under the caption OF
"The ResubmissiOn Petition" the
following article appeared in the
Mail:
1t is with great difficulty that Will
lis X. Folks has just secured a copy of
all the recorded names of the t'im-
mortal one hundred and twelve citi-
zens Of this county who attached
tLeir names to the resubmisslon petit
tlon submitted to the legislature at
the last session. 1t is strange. but
true men who have lived in this coun-
ty many yeaIs and are consequently
acquainted with the greater number
OF the inhabitants Of the county. are
unable to recognize, in the list of
names, one which is familiar or OF
which they have ever heard. IL
seems exceeding queer" that all are
buried SO deep in Obscurity. 1t is
plain that either no Wellington citi-
zenS signed the petition or else they
signed fictitious names, which is GER
talnly not the case. 1t Is still further
evident that some throughout the
county have signed fictitious names
or else the entire list of names is a
bold forgery on Sumner county. il
the list which Mr.. Folks has is cor
rect, and he has infallible proOf that
it is.
What does it all mean?
This article was not written by the
editor of the Mail, but by our assist
ant and, being out of the Office that
afternoon, the editor did not catch IL
10 reading proof. Yesterday we
looked into the matter and today
Mr.. Folks kindly furnished us with a
partial list Of these names. 1t con.
tains flfty-three rames and forty-fve
Of them are we'll known to the editor
OF the Mail. One Of them is post
master at Mulvane, two OF them
have been candidates for nomination
to county Office, two of them are or
have been deputy sheriffs, one of them
is regular practicing attorney Of
this bar, one has been a justice Of the
peace for many years, many of them
have been delegates to different coun
ty conventions Of different parties.
We have heard Of every name in this
list.
1t takes an illustration like this to
convince the average man who thinks
he is acquainted with the greater
number Of inhabitants Of the county,"
what small percentage of 10000 peo-
pie he really does know.

Yet-sThis Country Can Stand

LIKES NEW WOMEN.
But He Still Clings to the Old
as Well.
Colonel IngerSoll Says Sunday
Laws Are Impudent.

CHICAGO, Oct. 22.-Robert G. Ingersoil
is in town, much the same Ingerson no
was year ago He is little feshier
and little grayer, but for his friends he
has the same hearty hand grasp, the
same CHEEKY greeting, the same fecun-
dity Of conversation and the same
smoothly worded criticism of society and
expressions of hope for the future. IN
/ hsmpered by any definitely expressed
plan of i'm provement for the present.
On the third term question in its gen.
eral application and in particular as ap-
piled to the present chief executive, Col
Ingersoll said:
Il have no prejudice against third
term for the right man. l do not think
Cleveland ought to have a third term. l
think his first and second about as much
as we can stand. l do not blame Cleve-
land for accepting votes. If the people
want him l see no reason why he should
not have as many terms as the people
desire he should have. This is q great
country, and'it can stand a great deal OF
grief"
oonel Ingersoll is not picking any
presidential winners in his own party this
year. Most certain of all, he is not back
ing ex- President Harrison.
This is what he said of two of them:
"Reed is a splendid man; so is Mckinley.
l think Reeds chances are good. Both
are the best kind of men, and either one
of them can beat the Democratic nomi-
nee."
If women ever vote and Colonel Inger-
soil ever runs for president in that future
/ time he will have nothing to explain
| away. He draws the new woman TO him,
while keeping one arm securely around
! tho waist of the old woman. He plainly
| tells the new woman why he likes her,
and if her boomers offend his eye he
says nothing about it, even ignoring a
question as TO their fit.
I Il like the new woman and l like
the DID," he says. "They are about
alike, only the new woman is lookin 2
out for herself l am on her side.
believe in liberty for all. 1 want every
/ girl to have equal chance with the boy s..
! / believe in educated women-women
who are really interested in great ques
tons"
Theodore Roosevelt is not Que of
Colonel Ingersoil's heroes, and from the
way he talks he will not be sorry to see
Tammany win in New York city ngain.
He said
81 think that Mr. Roosevelt has made
! great mistake The Sunday laws are
not only foolish, but they are impudent.

AS TO the MARI borough Vanderbilt al

industry of raising American heiresses
for titled foreigners he said:
HIt is mistake tor an American girl,
rich or poor, TO marry an English noble
man. No girl should give her life for
title -
