Tom Brown is all right as a captain and
is satisfied to act as substitute when a
better player is found. but at present Tom
is batting as well as any man on the team,
barring DeMont, and in fielding is good

DEATH OF f. g. RAWSON
He Passed Away Yesterday After a Very
Brief Illness.

Early yesterday morning Mr.. Frank
G. Rawson OF this city died very unex-
pectedly after sickness OF only two
days, arising out of stomach troubles
from which ne suffered a great deal last
summer. This sudden calling off was
great shock to the friends of Mr.. Raw
son, of which he had many in this city
as well as throughout the country. Mr..
Rawson was manager Of the Kansas
Steam laundry and has been during the
past two or three years. or since he
moved in from his fine farm in the west
ern part of the county on which he had
lived since the early settlement of this
valley. III 1892 he was elected to men,

that body during the stormy times incl
dent to the Observation-Disclosures war. His
election was secured by such large ma
jority and his title to the seat being I'M
questioned. he did not figure in that body
as prominently as men whose ma orities
were so doubtful that they had to be-
come conspicuous in the war to retain
their seats Mr.. Rawson since coming

TIP THAT WAS A TIP
Remarkable Experience of a Wichita Man
With Whisper.

Mr.. Gus V. Wells, of this city, had
most remarkable tip on the Corbett-
Fitzsimmors fight, from a source en-
tirely unknown to him. He tinidly &C.
cepted the tip and won eleven bets on
it and did not lose a single one. Not
knowing, as stated. whence came his
tip, he did not have any remarkable de-
gree of faith in il, and hence instead
Of betting large juicy rolls of morey he
bet hats, cigars, and such things
Mr.. Wells was getting along in the
world finely. without paying mo-
ment's attention TO Corbett, Fitzsimmons
or their fight, until ore day a fellow
travelling man accosted him with
unique proposition. The fellow travel
ing mans wife, previously, lost some dia-
monds and fortune teller displayed such
a remarkable faculty in locating them
that an idea flashed into the mind of
the travelling man. Why not consult
her as 10 the outcome of the Corbett-
Fitzsimmons fight and bet on her judg-
ment? This is the proposition Mr. Grif-
fifth, the travelling man, laid before Mr.
Wells. Both went to the home OF the
fortune teller. but the lady was too sick
to peer into the future, and so told the
two gentlemen, who were rather disap-
pointed. Mr. Griffith went to Kansas
City, but not Until after he had exacted
a promise from Mr.. Wells to visit the
fortune-teller later. ascertain from her
the result of the fight ard telegraph her
verdict to him at Kansas City. Mr.. Wells
visited the fortune-teller the day before
the fight, but she was still sick and could
not prophecy. Returning from his visit
TO the fortune-teller, with eyes downcast
somebody whispered the following words
into his ear: "Fitzsmmons will knock
out Corbett in the fourteenth round"
Mr.. Wells was startled and looked behind
him, but he could see neither man, wo-
man or child. The voice came from an
unseen mouth and Mr.. Wells wondered
greatly. Seven years ago that same
voice whispered the following words in
to his ear: Buy hay He bought a
Thousand tons of hay for $3.50 per ton
and sold il for Is per ton. He at once
came down towr, went into McNaugh-
tens shoe store and announced that
Fitzsimmons would knock Corbett out
in the fourteenth round They trans
cribed his prediction or the back of
ledger, nd you may be sure they mar
veled greatly next day when Corbett
was put to sleep in the fourteenth
round. Mr.. Wells telegraphed briefly to
Mr.. Griffith at Kansas City that Fitz-
simmons would knock Cor5ett out in the
fourteenth rourd. Griffith, thinking the
fortUne-teiler said SO, and having great
faith in her, plunged heavily on Fitzsim-
mons, and eft Kansas City something
like $1,000 better off than wher he went
there. Among the bets won by Mr. Wells
was Sc worth of shaving from George
the barber.

BOTH HEADS LIE Low
Remains of Mrs. Baker Pass Through
Wichita for Salina.

Sunday the remains of Mrs II. D. Ba-
ker of Ponca City, Oklahoma, passed
through Wichita enroute for Salina for
burial. There is nothing strange or pa
thetic about the mere announcement of
the fact, but when the facts are thor
oughly understood they are touching
One week previous the remains of Mrs.
Bakers husband, Captain H. d. Baker,
passed over the same route, and both
the husband and wife are now lying
peacefully in death, side by side, in the
cemetery at Salina, their old home.
Three weeks ago both of them were in
the enjoyment Of the best of health.
Captain Baker was at Guthrie during
the session of the legisla ture and about
two weeks ago he was stricken with
pneumonia and died within four or five
days. When his illness was first motto
ed to be serious his wife was sent for at
Ponca City and she Immediately went 10
his bedside. His death so shocked her
that she was unable to attend his fun
eral She never recovered from her ner-
vous collapse and died al the residence
of friend at Guthrie. Captain Baker
was cousin of United States Senator
Baker, was for years a power in the
politics of Kansas. and not only served
in the senate of this state, but repre-
scented Kay county in the Oklahoma leg
islature two years ago. When the Cher
okee Strip opened he had a large inter-
est in the townsite of Cross, but Ponca
City got the best of a long fight with
that own and the result is that Captain
Baker practically went broke and was
a very poor man when he died. He had
been a rich man at one time, but the
original Kansas boom and the subse
quent Oklahoma boom got the best Of
him. Mrs. Baker was lady of the most
