In His Attempt to Down Case

One of the Most Able of States
men

Go Back.
The Convention Called For an
Early Date.
KANSAS EVER SENT

The First district congressional COM
mittee meeting at Holton yesterday
afternoon was a decided disappointment
to Cy Leland, the Kansas Republican
"boss," and his friend Mr.. W. ]. Bailey
been of the opinion he could beat Case
Broderick out of the nomination for con-
gross in the First district.
The committee issued a call for the
congressional convention to be held at
Leavenworth March 8, at IL o'clock
noon
This places the First district conven-
ton one day in advance of the state con :
vsntiou at Wichita, which was exactly
what Chairman Leland and Mr.. Bailey
of Baileyville were opposed to. They
wanted the First district convention held
in April.
The committee meeting was controlled
by the friends of Congressman Case
Broderick and it was presided over by
NJ. NJ. Beck of jackson. The other
members present were S. A. Frazier of
AtchisoB, d. r. Anthony, holding the
proxy of E. Jameson of Leaven-
worth; H. T. Phinuey of Jefferson.
W. I. Devereaux of Doniphan, w. g.
Ham of Brown and Ira F. Collins hold
ing the proxy of W. ]. Bailey of Ne
maha.
o. ]. Grover of Pottawatomie held the
proxy of L. NJ. Stone of Wamego, but he
did not arrive until the meeting was
over.
Chairman Leland of the state commit
tee was present and directed the move
ments of his followers: but the failure of
o. ], Grover to arrive gave Mr.. Leland's
opponents a majority of one. If Mr.
Grover had arrived time there would
have been a tie and the committee could
not have called the convention before the
state convention unless Ar. Leland's
friends had given their consent.
When Mr.. Leland found his friends
were in the minority he directed them to
keep out of the meeting.
The call required the committee to
meet at p. and at 2.15 the meeting
was called to order The call for the
convention gives each county in the dis
trict the same number of delegates in the
congressional convention they are to
have in the state convention.
Mr.. Leland and his friends are now
trying to figure out how they will be
able to attend the congressional conven-
tions at Leavenworth and Emporia the
day before the state convention and ar
rive in Wichita in time to do their usual
preliminary work for the state cOnven-
tien.
4 gentleman who was present at the
committee meeting at Holton yesterday
says the First district will without doubt
renominate Case Broderick and will
probably elect delegates to the national
convention opposed to Cy Leland for
national committeeman.

Mexico's Picked Troops Arrive
at the Scene
Of the Proposed Maher-Fitzsim-
mons Fight.
WON'T LET 1T HAPPEN.
MexicanGovernorSaysH He FavOrs
the Fight,
But Will Follow Diaz's Com
mands to the Letter.

Ell PAso. Tex, Feb. 12.-The Rurales
(the picked troops of Mexico) arrived in
Juarez this morning at 8 o'clock, and
after taking two hours to rest up and
feed their horses, they were sent by
Governor Ahumada to- patrol the river
bank. An island in the Rio Grande,
which is disputed territory, the governor
directed, should be occupied by his men,
with instructions to allow no prize fights
upon it.
The governor reiterates this morning
that while he was personally in favor of
allowing the fight to come OF, he could
not in the face of the positive orders of
President Diaz. allow it to be held on
Mexican soil. Later in the day the gov
ernOr held a conference with Adjutant
General Mabry of Texas and United
States Marshal Hall of New Mexico
John L Sullivan aud Paddy Ryan,
both in charge of "Parson" Davies, ar
rived this morning. Sullivan was none
the worse for his recent acrobatic per-
formance in connection with fying
railroad train and expressed himself as
anxious to see the fight and was conf
dent that it would be pulled off"
81 don't know who will win," he said,
sits d toss up; l wonld like to see Peter
come out en- top, but it is pretty much
question as to who gets in the first hard
lick. II either man can get in good
stiff one on the jaw early in the game,
the chances are that this man will win
out 1t is hard pick and no cinch either
way"
Stuart is as confident as ever and says
the fights will surely come off The
sporting men of the country are evident
ly pinning their faith TO Stuart, as sew
eral large delegations arrived this morn
ing.
Governor Ahumada, of the state of
chihuahua, said today that he was abso-
lutely determined to prevent the
fight from coming off in his
territory. He has now 800 men
in JRurez and tomorrow morning be
will have two hundred moro. With
these he says he will patrol the banks
and allow nobody to cross for the pur-
pose of holding fight
"If they come into my province" he
declared, "with intent to break the law,
or order against the fight. shall repel
them by force and prevent the fight at
ANY cost"
'Dan Stuart says: "The fights will
come off; I will not say where, but they
will come off and on the DAYS scheduled.
That is all have to say and it covers
everything"

Not long ago a celebrated novelist
was the guest of honor at a brilliant re-
ception. He had heard the praises of his
own work until every one but a conceit-

weary, but he had borne up bravely
through it all. Finally timid man was
presented to him, who said, with an
apologize air, "I'm ashamed to confess
it, but haven t read one of your books. %
The novelist bent forward, a look of re-

WOODEN-LEGGED HEN.
The Man Who Hated Anvthing but the
Truth.

eff there is one thing despise more
than another" remarked a gentleman
the other day to a Punxsutawney Spirit
reporter, cit is man who does not re-
gard the truth with sacred awe. I no
tice that the local papers are full of big
egg, big-pumpkin and other stories of
that sort that have a little merit in
them, and I fear that some of them do
not even have the redeeming feature of
being strictly true. I believe they are
exaggerated. Now, have story for
you that is not only good one, but it
is true. What does a story amount to
if it isn't true? Any fool can make up
lie. 1 hate liar. Here is my story;
Il was down in Indiana County the
other day and stopped at farmhouse
for dinner. After dinner sat down on
the porch to take smoke. 1 saw an old
hen hobbling about in a very awkward
way and 1 said to the farmers wife:
Madam, what is the matter with
that hen?'
That hen,' said she, is lame. 1t
has an artificial leg
oh, it has, has it?'
Yes. You know there was some

and she finally got we'll. But she
couldn't walk on one leg. So 1 just
stuck clothes-pin on the stump of her
leg, tied a string around it to hold it on,
and she does very WELL
Well, well,' I said, 'if that isn't

Yes replied the good lady, with
smile. but that isn't the strangest part
of it.

''tNo, indeed. The strange part of it
happeDed afterward, and one would
scarcely believe it if one hadn't seen it
with ones own eyes. This spring that
hen with the clothes-pin leg wanted to
hatch. I didn't think she could

stump. But 1 kind O. pitied her, cause
she was a cripple, and 1 put thirteen
eggs under her. She stuck right to her
business for three weeks and never

No. replied the woman, that was
not so very odd, but that wasn't it.

of those little chickens had a wooden

CAPT. JOHNSON TALKs.
Tells why He Believes AndersOn's
Candidacy Means Leland.


Candidacy Means Leland.
"Why do you think that Tom Ander-
sons candidacy is in the interest of Cy
Leland?" said a JOURNAL reporter to
| Capt. Johnson today.
"If Tom Anderson can carry this
| county against me he says it will put me
out of the race for delegate at-large and
national committeeman If he does that
of course it would leave Mr. Leland in
the field without any opposition what
ever. / think that would be very greatly
in Mr. Leland's interest. Can you con
ceive OF anything that Tom could do that
would help Cy Leland any more than
thatf
"There can be no doubt but that his
candidacy is wholly and solely for the
purpose of promoting Cy Leland's sue
cess. Surely that is its effect. Every
Republican who votes for Anderson
votes directly for Leland. Every Re-
publican who desires Leland's perpetua-
Jion in power can accomplish that result
by helping Anderson to defeat me in this
county.
There should be no mistake by the
Republicans of Shawnee county as to
the purpose of this movement. II
you are for Leland vote for
Anderson. If you are against Leland
you had better vote for me. There is not
one Republican In ten in this county
mo would knowingly vote tor Cy Le-
lands continuation in power,
~ know Major Anderson claims that
his candidacy is not in the interests of
Leland and that he does not SO intend it.
Every man, however, is held RESPONSE
BILE for the legitimate results of
his own acts. If Anderson's candi-
dacy in this county results in
my defeat at home it would end my can
didacy against MIR. Leland for the very
good reason that l had lost my own
county. Surely that would elect Le-
land because he would have no other
opposition. Therefore, would not Major
Anderson's candidacy, whether he SO in
tended or not, be in the interest of Cy
Leland.
GAS 1 have said, this county is not for
Leland, and he should not be permitted
to carry it by any mistaken issue of
this kind. would be perfect
ly willing to contest this county with Cy
Leland in an open field. This, am not
permitted to do. This kind of politics is
not fair nor square 1t does Tom Ander-
son injustice.
The American people, above every
thing else, like fair play. [ have no
doubt but that the Republicans of this
county will see that it is had in this mat
ter. and that Cy Leland does net get this
county by direction or indirection."
