He is Taken to the City Hospital Where
Beaten up With Coupling Pin-Las,
Report is Favorable for Recovery.
A man giving the name of johnson was
found in the Santa Fe yards yesterday
showing very rough usage at the hands
OF some unknown persons. He was TAX
en- care of by the yard men until taken
TO the hospital, where his injuries were
attended to.
The yard men noticed him wandering
ABOUT in very strange manner. They
investigated and found that the man.
head had been beaten very badly with
some blunt instrument He was taken
charge Of and put under the care OF the
switehman until the arrival Of the po-
lice. Officers Harry Sutton and Horner
answered the summons, and immedia tely
called the patrol and the man was tax
en- to the city hospital
1t was thought that the wounds which
the man had received would prove IA
tai a coupling pin covered with blood
was found in the yards near where the
man was first seen. This implement is
undoubtedly the tool with which the deed
was done. The man had cuts all over
his head and one situated over the left
eye was especially serious wound, and
IL was thought the skull was fractured
but 1t was considered a very severe scalp
wound only when the wounds were dress
ed. Seven or eight places were so badly
cut that stitches had TO be taken. II was
not known whether any contusions up
on the brain had resulted, but at a late
b.- Iue~ -s~rk.A L.
He was conscious nearly all the time
but could not tell in detail but little. He
stated that they" had tried TO rob him,
but who the parties indicated Were it
was impossible to ascertain. The evil
dence at hand goes to show that he was
attacked and beaten in car, and after
wards was thrown out in the yaros.
Whether the car was standing in the
yards on a sidetrack or not is hard to
determine. The police seem to think
that the act occurred upon a moving
train, and that the man was dropped
out upon the ground as the train was
passing through the yards. Three sus-
picious looking characters seen about the
yards We're arrested and locked up at the
police station, but there is no direct evil
dence against tnem so far.
If there Is no confusion of the brain
the man stands an excellent chance Of
recovery. He is tall smooth faced man
and wore Il soft felt hat and a brown
canvas coat. A little over 50 was found
about his person, and If his ASSISTANTS
Intended robbery they did not get it all
He stated that they robbed him of the
most of his money but did not get all OF
il. re also said that he had partner
with him ard asked about him. but as it
appears he was either one Of the rogues
who attempted 10 kill and rob him, or
otherwise was not with him when it was
going on. There was little chance OF
capturing the criminals last night but
something may turn up soon which VIII
throw more light upon the subject. The
man will be able To give a better account
of the occurrence today, and the officers
will then have something more definite
TO work upon.

LOOK OUT FOR JOHN
BRADFORD THINKS BREIDENTHAL
WILL BE NEXT SENATOR
He Calls Him the Best Political Tactician
in the Populist Party and the Most Dam
gerous Man to Send to the Senate-The
Great Danger Turks In His Fine Per
sonal Appearances What He Thinks
About Presperity-Ae Says 1t Is Coming
to Kansas by Reflex Action - Points
About the Law Business.

Ex-Attorney General S. B. Bradford
was in the city last night. having come
down from his home at Topeka on legal
business.
Il think" said Mr.. Bradford, that
John Breidenthai is setting his pins to De
a candidate for UnitedrSt senator. II
he ever enters the race the other candi-
dates win not be in 1t. Breidenthal, to
my mind, is the ablest POLITICAL tacti-
clan in the Populist party. He is great
general among the class OF men OF
which his party is composed. He would
be the most dangerous man the people OF
Kansas could send 10 the senate in this,
that his fine personal appearance and
genial manners would disarm the con-
sentative people of the country and serve
to make them less cautious of the dan
gers of Populism.' From that stand
point Mr.. Bradford thought that the
best man that could be sent to the SEN
ate is PETER.
Speaking Of the good positions to be Sc
cured TO Kansas under the administra-
ton of Mckinley, Mr.. Bradford thought
that the best ones will go to the defeated
candidates for congress He thought
that Long, Calderhead, Ellis and Harris
would want federal positions, and he
seemed to be quite sure that Dick Blue
would. He did not think that Kirkpat-
rick Of the Third district wanted any.
thing
Speaking about the return of prosper
ity, Mr.. Bradford said: in six months
il viii be felt all over the land. I do not
think We viii feel it here so much as if
the state had gone Republican. 1t does
not make much difference what the ad-
ministration of Leedy will prove TO be,
the people who have money to invest
will be timid about making investments
in states where Populism is in control.
They know that the natural inclination
Of Populism is hostility to wealth. Our
prosperity will come from reflex action.
If men are employed back east that will
be the cause of a better market and bet
ter prices for our products. So far as
the direct investment of money in Kan
sas enterprises is concerned I do not be-
feve we will get any in that way"
Speaking about law, Mr.. Bradford
said: There is no law business in Kan
sas any more. You will never see law
yers prosper in a purely agricultural
state after its formative period has pass
ed. OF course there will be some bust
ness for a few, but not many. In To-
peka We have about 200 men in the prac-
tice. II a man wants TO practice law
and make q permanent success OF it he
must establish himself in bushes in
commercial. manufacturing or mining
community
During the past two years Mr.. Brad
ford has been clerk of the court of ap-
peals in the Eastern division of the
northern department
