A PELICAN ON THE RIVER.
Marcus Owens Shot 1t and Took It to the
State House.


State House.
Marcus Owens, young colored man,
living two miles northeast of Topeka on
the Granville state road, yesterday
morning shot big white pelican as it
was soaring over the Kansas river. One
shot brought it down and when Marcus
got it to shore he found that it measured
nine feet from tip to tip. It had
not had its breakfast yet as only few
minnows were found in the pouch under
its bill.
The bird was brought to town today
and taken to the state house for the pur-
pose of selling it 20 the museum there.
Marcus Owens shot another pelican IL
feet in measurement in 1898 which is
now stuffed and mounted in the museum.

sat down to dinner together and generally
drank very freely, going to bed late and
rising late next morning.
On the morning Of Aug. II Sir James
was found dead in his study, stabbed TO
the heart with stiletto.
At the coroner's inquest, which followed,
Mr.. Agnew swore that at 1915 he left Sir
James in the middle OF the dining room
with the other gentlemen. Mr.. Settle
swore that he parted with Sir James at the
table In the hall, where he took his night
candle, and that then Mr.. Ainslie and Mr.
Herbert were with him. Mr.. Herbert tes-
titled that he babe Sir James good night
at the foot OF the stairs and left Mr. Aims
lie with him. Mr.. Ainslie swore that he
quilted Sir James at the same place a few
moments afterward, just as the porter ex-
tinguished the light in the hallway.
Thomas Cooley, the porter, swore that
he went into the dining room TO close the
windows and left Sir James and Mr.. Aims
lie speaking together and that after he
had closed the windows he returned to the
hall and found that both gentlemen had
gone. There was light, however, In Sir
James study, and Cooley went and looked
in at the half open door. He saw Sir
James bring out his tin cash box Sh
James counted out a number Of bank note'
and said to Mr. Ainslie as he handed then
to him:
"There is $1,000, and you can give mt

Then Sir James put back a quantity o
bank notes into the tin box and returned

however. in the lower part Of the house
startled him. and he ran up stairs. Later
on. when he thought all was quiet, he de-
scended and went TO the study.
ON going in he saw man hiding be-
hind the screen and apparently watching
Sir James, who was busy at his desk. Mr:
Ainslie was greatly alarmed and returned
to tba hall. Fearful OF being caught, he
nlaced the umbrella in the stand and went

failed TO appear, Mr.. Ainslie went round
toward the window Of the study because

MIGHT have been murdered. Mr.. Ainshe
