The St. Landry Plan.

i There is no truth in the repor
that Congress will soon recogniz,
the belligerency of the st. Landry
Regulators. Yet international law
strictly construed, would grant
them such right. They have all
the forms of a government. They
have a president, a full code OF
laws of their own making, and all
the administrative functions re-
quired. They are in full and COM
plete possession of their country,
and from a de facto standpoint,
are entitled to recognition.
Senator Caffery, whose antogon-
ism to the Cuban resolutions has
already been proclaimed, will
doubtless take q similar view of
the st. Landry appeal for recogni-
ton. Known for the tenacity to
which he clings to convictions
once formed, it is deemed certain
that, even though his friend, Muir
ply. j. Foster, is the de facto
chief executive of the st. Landry
regulator government, Senator
Caffery will not swerve from the
position he has already assumed.
Senator Blanchard is now with
the campaign party in Southwest
Louisiana, where his turgid elo-
quence has perceptibly increased
the prevailing Democratic lethar-
gy. He can we'll be spared, and,
once on the ground at Washing
ton, his indefstigable industry,
though hampered by his lack of
ability, may at once secure that
recognition which every cut-throat
regulator of st. Landry demands.
But the situation in this grand

Claude Cam, night employe at the

book and 1886 Monday night by two
Wichita boys to whom the employees

The boys, Charles Dumont and Rob-
ert Davis, are II and IL years old re-

that night from Enid on the II o'clock
Rock Island passenger and applied at
the mills about l O'Clock next morning
for lodging for the night. The en-
plOyes sent them down into the boiler
room and no further attention was
paid to them at the time. They were
missed about o'clock that morning,

A Case of Malicious Prosecution

Constable John Mllldrd brought T.
B. Turner down from Mulvane Mon
day and put him in jail on the charge
of stealing corn. The warrant charg-
ing Turner with the theft was sworn
out by L. D. Hilbert, a neighbor of
Turner, living three and half miles
southeast Of Mulvane.
Turner is poor man with family.
He had rented a 40-aCre tract of land
from Hilbert for cultivation next year.
The ownership of the land is in dis.
pute between Hilbert and a man
named Gilmer. Gilmer went to Tur-
ner when he learned that the land
had been leased from Hilbert, and
claimed ownership for himself. Tur.
ner then secured another lease on the
land from Gilmer. This he supposed
would settle the matter so far as he
was concerned, and that he would be
allowed to cultivate the land. Hill.
bert and Gilmer are enemies. When
Hilbert learned Of the action of Tur.
ner in securing another lease from
Gilmer, lie became angry and served
notice upon Turner to vacate the
land. Turner had leases from both
parties and paid no attention to the
notice, and Hilbert had him arrested
as stated. Turner had geen gathering
corn for his second Jesse, Gilmer,
who had raised this years crop %
the land, in part payment OF next
years rental.
Turner will have a bearing soon
and upon his release will begin an
action against Hilbert for malicious
prosecution. Hilbert is wealthy.

to recover the money they had stolen,
when they declared that they had
stolen nothing and started 10 run
away in opposite directions. The
marshal caught young Dumont with
out much trouble and succeeded in
stopping young Davis by threatening
to shoot him. One dollar and eighty
five cents was found on the person of
Dumcnt. Davis threw 81 away while
running from the marshal. The mon
ey was recovered that morning at day
light. The boys were brought up
town and induced to tell where they
had thrown the pOcketbOok, which
had been placed in the vacant lot
north OF Mr.. Guthrie's residence on f
street. Both the gamins are from
Wichita. They left home Monday
morning and went as far south as
Enid on Rock Island freight train.
They are of respectable parents. Du'
mont's father is an architect In Wich'
tia and is well-to-dO. The boys look
like they are unused to vice, and it is
not improbable that they have haC
their minds poisoned by the blood ant
thunder stories that appear with such
frequency in the Wichita Eagle.

Fell from a Train.

Saturday night as the Southern
Kansas passenger train was pulling in
from the west over the Santa Fe
track, while crossing the bridge across
the Walnut, the engineer happened
TO look back and see a man on top OF
the express car. At just about the
time the engineer saw him he took
tumble and rolled of the coach while
the train Was still on the bridge. AS
he went down, either his arm or his
leg went through the glass door Of the
express car and the messenger had
thoughts OF dynamite, hold ups, ETC.,
until the cause was explained.
The train was stopped as soon as
possible AM backed up to the bridge.
The man was found swinging from
the bridge by his neck with his head
fastened between two timbers and his
rescuers were surprised to find him
alive. How he got there is mystery.
II he had fallen 10 this position 1t
would certainly have broken his neck,
or in that length of time he would
have Strangled. Tue most plausible
suppUsilion is that he fell onto the
bridge and in his effort to get up fell
through.
Both DR.. Evans, The company sur
geOn, and Dr.. HolCOmb, county ply.
sician, were summoned and after ex-
animation found no bones broken and
the man practically uninjured. He
was drunk.
He was taken to the county jail and
never knew he was hurt until he
awOke the next morning.
Sunday morning he gave his name
as A. Cbeathum, and said he was a
farmer living south of Wellington.
He said he took his family to Yelling
ton and left them at a hotel. He paid
their bill 10 advance, and then with a
comrade started out to have a time.
They visited several places where hot
drinks were sold and then went to the
depot. After that his mind was a
blank. How he got on the car or what
he was doing up there. he said he did
not know. He knew nothing about
his fail and subsequent narrow escape,
but after learning the story seemed TO
feel thankful that he was alive. He
went home Sunday night.-Winfeld
