Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1896-09-05

The following is taken from the
Lawrence Journal: 1.-The Journal has
become weary of hearing and reading
the praises of old Judge Bryan, father
of the democratic candidate for presi-
dent. He has been pictured as a
saint, man of irreproachable charac-
ter and deep religious convictions. 1t
has been said that he always opened
court with prayer and adjourned it
with a benediction. As matter of
fact, Judge Bryan was, an old scoun-
drel who put in his time talking
treaon, organizing lodges of the
Knights of the. Golden Circle and
making speeches abusing the soldiers
and the government. He narrowly
escaped lynching several times at the
hands of soldiers and he richly de-
served hanging. He lived in the hot
test hot bed of secession north of
Mason and Dixon'S line, and he prided
himself upon being a leader of the
worst of the X. G.. C'.s whose business
it was to encourage treason and muir
der soldiers. He was one of the rank
est and vilest copperheads that in
|
cause of his superior abilities was one
of the most dangerous men in the
country. Knowing these things as
the Journal does, the constant singing
of virtues of the old rascal has a ten
dency to make one weary"
1t is queer how some people change
their minds. Not long ago some of
the leading pops of this county said
we would starve to death if we got
free silver: now, they say Well starve
ii we don't get it.

Williams Said to Have
Met Miss Ivory in 1t.
Latest Developments in Al
legged ElOpement Case.
Father Learns Young Woman Did
Not Pay Household Bills.

Charles II. Ivory would like to meet
fellow named George A. Williams. The
meeting you'd be bad for Williams who
left town suddenly with Mr. Ivory's only
cnild, 17-year-oid daughter. Late de-
velopments demonstrate that the runaway
girl was bad los, and the father sdver-
tises to the effect that he will paw no
bills other than those contracted by him
SELF This step was taken because he has
found out that money given his daughter
has been used for purposes for which
1t was not designed. lie mas learned
that two months rent for his home is
unpaid, and that the money given the
girl to pay the grocery and market bills
has also failed 10 reach the places for
which II was intended.
II has also been ascertsined that Will
liams and the Ivory girl have been occu-
pying room at So Richmond street.
Mrs. Carver keeps house there and let's
rooms. A few waeks ago Williams came
there and hired room No. 4. stating tka,
his name was Young and that he lived
out Of town. He wanted the room as a
sort of waiting place for his wife, who
came to the city frequently. and who
needed q waiting place. He occupied the
room for three weeks, and during that
time Mrs. Carver had seen him but twice
when he paid the rent OF the room. She
hsd not seen his alleged wife, although
she knew a woman had Seen In the room.
Williams paid bis bill In advance.
Friends of the man had seen him enter
the Richmond street house frequently
and wondered why.
On Saturday, Dec. 8. Mrs. Carver found
the key of the room in the door and the
latch KEY of the front door on a table.
This was the first intlmation she had that
perhaps her l0dgers mad given up the
premises. She did not see anything more
OF Willin ms or his money, and couldn't
say positively when the couple ceased to
come TO the house.
Mrs. Williams, the deserted wife, has
recovered somewhat from the shock OF
the abadonment. She recalls q significant
incident. Her runaway husband claimed
to be 40 years OF age, hut lie was nearer

bottle OF hair dye, and requested mis- wife
to change the'color of bis thin hair. She
applied the dye, and Williams stood be-
fore her with what little head adornmen
he had Of raven hue. This made IL pos
sible, too, for him to stand beside Miss |
Ivory without making him look like her
grandfather. The wife also found out |
that her husband had the down town |
apartment already referred to. She now |
feels convinced that Williams bad been |

a dressmaker informed Mrs. Williams
that her husosni had ordered a"long"
dress for young person and had left the
material at her place. She did not 40 the
work, however, and last Monday Mrs.
Williams took the material away.
The runaway girl was an orphan, and

years Of age. Williams had known her
from that time to the day he ran away
with her.
