WALKED To WASHINGTON,
Long Tramp of Aged Frederick
Slagel and His Fond
Wife.
A Pension Claim That Caused the
Old Soldier to Suffer Great
HardshipS.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. TO- An
aged couple trudging along Pennsylvania
avenue and followed by a crowd of boys
proved to be Frederick and Jane Slagel,
who had tramped all the way from Van
derburg County. Ind. They had received
notice from Washington that Frederick
Slagels pension claim would require his
presence here, and the aged pair, being
poor and without railroad transportation,
set out to walk the entire distance. They
started on May II last.
The farmers along the way were very
kind to them and everywhere they were
treated Hospitality, except in one instance
Italian laborers stoned them out of small
mining town in Pennsylvania. Near Har-
risburg they expected to meet kinsfolk, as
Frederick Slagel had lived there before the
war, but as they walked into the village
they found everything sadly changed and
were greeted only by barking dogs. The
old fellow had half expected to meet some
of his brothers and sisters, but they had
died many years before.
Upon their arrival in Washington the
Id people were given the guest chamber
at the police station. The matron fur
nished them nice hot supper, that being
the only food they had tasted for many
hours. The old mans feet were badly
swollen and his wife's were also much
blistered. But they both knelt by the iron
bedstead in earnest prayer, and after
prayer, man and wife, who have lived to-
gether two score years. united their weak
and trembling voices in that touching
Christian song which commences 81 will
sing you song of that beautiful land, the
faraway home of the soul."
They appeared to be supremely happy
notwithstanding their adverse circum-
stances, and after transacting their busi-
ness here will set out upon their return
trip, being provided with transportation
as far as Harrisburg.

An OLD MYSTERY CL cared,
Discovery Of the Remains of
"DutCh BILL" an Early
Marshal.
In the Seventies He Became
Hated and Was Murdered at
Wichita.

WICHITA, KANs., Aug. 1o.-An old
murder mystery was solved to-day by the
finding of the remains of human skull
and an old tobacco-box of unique construc-
ton in the cottonwood grove between
First and Second streets, on the Arkansas
River. where the bank had been washed
away by the recent high waters.
The box, which is fashioned out of
horn, has been positively identified by
Fred Sewers, who edited the Wichita
Vidette in the early seventies, as having
belonged to United States Marshal who
went by the name of Clutch Bill"
Dutch Bill' began his career as Mar
shall when Wichita was only little from
tier town, and he was terror to the evil
doors of that time. Frequent attempts
were made to assassinate him. and in May,
1871 his enemies inveigled him into a sa-
loon while he was tipsy.
That was the last seen of him, and it
had always been believed that he was MUIR
dered. To-day's grewsome find establishes
the fact beyond question.

AFTER THE BIC BATTLE,
Indian Territory Sports Would
Like to Secure the COrbett-
Fitzsimmons Fight.
Ardmore a Strong Bidder and WILL
ing to Take the Mil From
Dallas, Texas.

WICHITA, KANs., Aug. 10.-Since the
declaration of Governor Culberson and the
Attorney General of Texas that the Cor
bett-Fitzsimmons fight shall not take place
in that State, the sporting fraternity of
Ardmore, Ind. T., are making a strong
effort to have the fight pulled off at that
place.
James Kilgore of the Territorial Court,
ex-Congressman from Texas, has given as
his opinion that the Territory statutes do
not prohibit prizefghting, and the pros
pect OF the fight coming off in the Indian
Territory has aroused Ardmore citizens to
the highest pitch of excitement
If the Territory is to be the battle-ground
Ardmore is a strong candidate for selection
as the place to have the fight. The dis
lance is only few hours from Dallas and
the sporting fraternity there is prepared to
receive the gladiators and their friends with
open arms. As far as known no other
town is such strong bidder. There is no
known law to prevent it taking place in
the Territory.

nation of new conspiracy against the
clerical Government, the Caro- Govern
ment. The history of this latest Spanish
American outrage stripped OF minor de-
tails is as follows: A native woman In
whom man had confded informed the
local authorities that she knew of localities
in which arms were concealed; that the
hiding places were in and near this city.
Her information led to the instant arrest
of a number of people.
A search was instituted by the local
authorities, and rifles were found in a
number of localities. Then the Govern
ment took a hand in the matter, when
more arrests were made. Rewards were
offered, and a systematic inquiry was set
on foot While the above was proceeding

true Spanish American fashion, under
circumstances of barbaric cruelty. They
were tortured to extort confessions I'M
plicating others. Some were hung up by
by their heads by means of a broad board
having central aperture for the head.
The ends of the board were hoisted by
ropes until the whole weight of the body
of the victim rested on the sharp edges of
the central aperture, the toes just touching
the ground. While suspended repeated
hoggings were given.
Altogether ten or twelve persons under
went more or less torture. Some of the
most prominent citizens here sent joint
memorial to the Minister of the Interior
asking if the fortunes practiced were
authorized by the Caro- or National
Government. The memorial led to the
ending OF this new reign of terror.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Aug. 10.-Racing at

public esteem. He is now necessarily the
only bulwark against Republican extrava-
