BROKE HIS SKULL.

Frank Vaughn, COlOred, Struck by
Union Pacific Switch Engine.
Frank Vaughn, a North Topeka
colored man who is about forty years of
age, was struck by a Union Pacific
switch engine last night about IL o'clock
at St Johns street and badly hurt
Vaughn aud two tramps were walking
on the tracks and stepped off to get out
train. They stepped onto another track
on which was moving switch
engine. On the foot board in
front of the engine we're four
switchmen and they yelled TO the men
to look out. The two white men stepped
out of the way but Vaughn turned to
look back and was struck by the engine.
He was thrown against one OF the switch
men, John CourtrIght, and then against
the moving train on the other track.
Courtright's back was badly hurt and he
had to be taken home, where he is now
unable to work.
Vaughn was taken to the police sta
ton in the patrol wagon. He was badly
hurt The left side of his head near the
eye was very badly crushed and the left
brain exposed when J. s. McClin-
took took the broken off piece of
bone out Vaughn must also have
been hurled violently to the ground, as
his face was ground so full of cinders
they had to be cut out
Vaughn was hardly conscious even to-
day and was taken to the Bedwell hospi-
tai at noon. He will recover the doctors
say. He is known about the city as

SOUTH ENID EXCITED.
Sides Being Taken by the Friends of the
Men Murdered Yesterday.


SOUTH ENID. o. T., June 27.-The
double tragedy here yesterday in which
R w. Patterson. register of the United
States land Office, and City Marshal Will
liams was killed, has created the widest
excitement. Editor Isen berg's wound is
serious, though not necessarily fatal.
All three of the men had many friends
and sides are being taken by the citizens
Isenberg came to Enid shortly after the
opening, September 49, 1898. and started
the Daily Wave. Heis fearless fighter
and writes with a pen dripping with
wormwood. He has made a practice of
scoring his enemies mercilessly in sea-
son and out of season.
He was opposed to Patterson primarily
because he was what was termed
"carpet- bagger" but more on account Of
his being a southerner. The Wave is a
Democratic newspaper, but it was not
favored with the land Office printing and
Isenberg attributed this fact to the
Vaccinations of Patterson.
Isenberg is one of the best known
newspaper men in Oklahoma Shortly
after the strip opening he was assaulted
by Editor Whitaker of the North Enid
Tribune, who struck him when he was
not looking. Before he could retaliate a
crowd separated them.
Register Patterson was we'll liked. He
was brilliant public speaker, and an
enterprising, courageous man.

STATE PRINTER FIGHT.
1t began in the District Court To-
day.

4C OeR8n in the D1Str1ct Court TO-
day.
The contest for the fattest Office at the
disposal of the state. that of state printer,
between the present incumbent, E. II.
Snow, and Major j. K. Hudson, began in
the district court today. This suit is not
expected to settle the controversy but it
is an important preliminary step leading
to its termination.
Mr.. Snow asks Judge Hazen in his Pc
tition for an injunction to prevent Major
Hudson assuming the office of state
printer, or preventing the executive
council from recognizing him as such,
until Mr. Hudson shall have been award
ed the office by some court competent to
pass on the case. In this phase of the
case Mr.. Shows strongest argument can
he summoned up in the one declaration,
"There is no vacancy until the vacancy
has been shown" Major Hudson is rep
resented by Albert II. Horton, Attorney
General Dawes, r. B. Welch and Henry
Keeler. MIR. Snow is represented by
David Overmyer and G. {. Clemens.
With the exception of Senator Charles
F. Scott of Allen county, who
testified briefly as to the joint
session, the evidence in the
house journals for 1895 are il evidence.
Mr.. SHOWS resignation and reappoint-
ment by Governor Lewelling are part
OF the evidence. The bonds of both MIR.
Hudson and Mr.. Snow have been intro
duced. There are also several deposit
tions. One of these is by Arthur Clark
of Nickers IN, who deposes as follows:
Arthur Clark of lawful age, being first
duly sworn deposes and says: That on
Sunday June 16, 1895, he was on Santa
Fe train coming from Nickerson to To-
81 ho loFt ha
met on board Hon. W. c. Edwards the
secretary of state, with whom the afffant
had been long we'll acquainted, and en- =
tered into conversation with him. They
talked about the state printer contest be-
tween E. Fl. Snow and j. K. Hudson, and
in course of the conversation MIR. Ed
wards said that after July 1. "unQues-
tionably the board will recognize Major
Hudson as state printer and give him the
acquisitions for the printing and turn the
stock over to Hudson"
The other deposition is that of Harry
E. Richter, who was the senator from
Council Grove in 1891 and 1892. He said
he was a visitor in the senate chamber
after the Populist senators had refused
to go into the joint session. He counted
the number of senators who were prese mt
at that time and says there were only 18
| there, not quorum.
Senator Scott was put on the stand and
questioned as follows:

senate and the Republican senators
leave the hall to attend the joint session?

Ohm N. CAIN, Cashier
Atchison State Bank.
KANSAS CITY, Kan,

In our opinion Mr. John w. Breiden-
thai ranks much higher as public Off
cial than the average l consider him
very competent man for the position he
occupies, and believe that his manage
ment of his office has been as efficient as
conditions governing it would permit,
and has undoubtedly improved the con-
dition of Kansas state banks materially.
l do not believe in the prosecution or
persecution of any official for technical
violation of law unless some damage
has been done by such violation, and it
would be more difficult thing than our
legislature has yet been able to accom-
plish to make law which would tit and
provide for the technical needs of the
things it seeks to control, many of which
are created by the operation of the law.

ST. LOUIS, June 27.-General Powell
Clayton of Arkansas is stopping at the
today from Cleveland, where he had
been attending the Republican league
convention.
General Clayton was seen and asked
why the Republicans took no action on
the silver question in the convention.
"There was no dodging," he said.
"The constitution of the organization
prohibits the making of a platform
and for this reason no open
declaration on the question could have
been made. Had there been any ex-
preston on the monetary question. how
ever, l am confident it would have been
made for gold as a standard, for the pro-
portion of silverites at the convention was
small"
