The sheriff told the governor that he

During the past six weeks some eight

DEE WILKINSON RUNS.
Takes A6 vantage of Judges Leniency
and Makes His Escape.

The Dee Wilkerson case took a new turn
for him.
Wilkerson left Topeka day before yes
terday and his family say that they know
nothing of his wherea bouts. He called
for his time at the new bridge where he
has been employed several months and
the contractors told the officers today
that they supposed he was in the county
jail.
This action is something of a surprise
for Wilkerson has really been on parole
since last winter. Judge Hazen, who is
sympathetic, did not sentence the prison
er when he was convicted selling liz
quor. He said that his family was in des-
titute circumstances and he told the
truth. He had just secured work the
bridge and Judge Hazen deferred sentence
allowing Wilkerson to return to his work
Since then Judge Hazen has been cen
sured for his action and even Governor
Leedy has taken a hand. Last Monday
Judge Hazen ordered the sheriff to bring
Wilkerson before the court for sentence.
Again the heart of Judge Hazen was
touched, likewise those who witnessed the
scene, and he gave him two days to make
provisions for the of his family
while in the county Jail. The two days
passed and Wilkerson failed to appear.
Deputy Sheriff Larry Sheehan started out
to search for him this morning but he
could not be found and it is supposed he
has left the country.

WINFIELO'S FIGHT
The Question of the No. Pacific
Putting in Guards
At Street Crossings, Assumes
an Active Phase.
TRY TO STOP TRAIN.
Engineer Gives Officials the
Laugh and WhirIs Bye
Fear to Fool With Passenger
Trains on Mail Account.

Winfield. July 23.-The effort by the
city to make the Missouri Pacific COM
pany put in guards at street crossings
took an active and new turn yesterday
Acting under the instructions of the
city attorney, Officer Applegate watch
ed the local, west, Wednesday evening
cross the streets where guard gates
have been ordered in, and followed the
train to the depot to get the names of
the engineer and conductor. Conductor
]. H. Lane had charge of the train and
Engineer Ben West manipulated the
throttle. They gave their names all
right, but it did not take them long to
Surmise what was coming.
Yesterday Mr.. Applegate went to the
depot armed with the necessary war
rants for the arrest of the gentlemen
named and patiently awaited the ar
rival of the train which was about two
hours late. The train pulled in slowly,
the engine passed the depot, the ca
bOOse came up and Mr.. Applegate got
ready for business.
Instead of stopping the caboose run
slowly by and before the officer could
realize what was transpiring, was
rounding the curve of the depot. For
the present the train men have the best
of it, but the officers say all freight
trains can't run through without stop
ping. The passenger trains carry the
United States mail and for a time at
least they will not be molested. But
such a bitter feeling exists that trouble
is bound to arise vet.

CANNOT PAY CLAIMS.
Leavenworth County Will Not be
Able to Settle This Year.

Leavenworth, July 23.-Parties hav-
ing unpaid claims against the county
stand a good show of th4ir remaining
unpaid until next January and
perhaps longer. For several years the
delinquent tax list has been growing
larger and as consequence the amount
of unpaid claims has greatly increas-
ed, many of which has extended over q
long period.
When the law requiring the county
commissioners to meet and settle
claims and salaries monthly went into
effect there were not sufficient funds
in the treasury to meet the obligations
and payment was deferred until July.
AS the time for paying the second half
of the years taxes closed June 20. it
was supposed that enough money would
be collected to meet all claims but
such was not the case. Instead of haV-
ing ready money on hand, that which
has been collected is already paid out
and the treasurer is obliged to turn
claimants away
The amount paid out since last Sat-
urday aggregates in round numbers,
some SIS, 900 in all funds.

BARBER COUNTY GEOLOGY.
Several Professors Studying the
Formations.

Medicine Lodge, July 23.-Prof c. N
Gould of Winfield, was in town Tues
day. Prof. Gould is making a geologi-
cal study of this section of the country
for the state university.
He says that Barber county is very
rich from a geological standpoint and
that there are few nicer geological
fields being of special interest to geo
1ogists, as, on account of the lack of
fossils in the red formation, biologists
are unable to determine to what age it
belongs. DR.. S. w. Williston of the I'M
iversity, will meet Prof. Gould in a
couple of weeks at Belvidere in the
southeast corner of Kiowa county, and
the two will spend some time in that
section of the state
About September 1 Prof Lester N.
Ward, who is connected with the Uni
ted States geological survey will join
Prof Gould and they will make a spec
ial study of the fossil leaves found in
this part of the country.

RAILROAD NEWS.
Spirited Correspondence Be-
tween Attorney Hurd
And Sheriff Church Over the
Tramp Gang,
WHO REFUSED TO PAY
On a Freight at Ottawa, on the
Santa Fe.
Mr.. Hurd Thinks the Sheriff
Did Wrong-Church's Idea.

Sheriff Church declined to arrest some
40 men who rode through town on
Santa Fe freight train. He is IN re-
ceipt of the following letter:
Mr.. D. s. Church, Sheriff, Ottawa, Kan
Dear Sir-General Manager Frey has
called my attention to complaint made
by Assistant General superintendent
Turner and others on account of your
failure to render any aid or protection
to the company in the matter of dispos-
ing of tramps who had taken possession
of our train at ottawa recently L
therefore write you to ascertain from
you the facts in relation to the matter
from your standpoint. The company is
by far the largest taxpayer in Frank
lin county and certainly ought to be en-
titled to have it's property protected
from a forced seizure by tramps to the
same extent that merchant, a farmer,
or other tax payers of the county would
be protected.
In addition to this the company has
always furnished you personally with
an annual pass which has enabled you
to travel over its lines, and this of it
self ought to call for an extra effort on
your part to assist the company in
cases where mobs take possession of its
| trains. Yours truly,
The Ottawa Republican of July %
publishes the above letter and COM
IIl0nIS DIS IOllOWS.
Sheriff Church replied to this in a
note briefly stating his reasons for his
action and stating his Willingness to
surrender his pass upon request.
Public opinion here is unanimously
| in support of Sheriff Church's action.
| The majority of these men were not
cramps" they were harvest hands
| who had been induced to go on a more
or less bootless trip to western Kansas
in search of work. They were getting
| home as best they could. They We're
| not rioters; they committed no overt
act other than to decline to pay fare on
a railroad train; they dismounted from
the cars when requested so to do by
| the sheriff. He had no legal right to go
| farther If they reboarded the train
on departure of the posse it was no
| fault of the sheriff's.
The cramps boarded the cars at
| Emporia. The sheriffs of Lyon and
Usage counties had quite as much juris-
| idction as any other sheriff along the
| line-why should those men have been
| dumped off on Ottawa particularly?

FIGHTING THE POLL TAX.
Fort Scott Starts a Contention That
May Overturn a Statute.

Fort Scott, July 23.-The laboring and
railroad men of this city have united in
a rebellion against the poll tax law and
have carried the question of its enforce
Inent to the supreme court on some
unique propositions of law, which, if
sustained, will affect the working of
road tax in every township in the state.
They claim that the law is unconstitu-
tional because it demands ten hours
work day in contravention of state
law making eight hours days work.
They also maintain that the law of 1891
purporting to exempt the residents of
cities with a population of over 10000
practically repeats subdivision 81 of the
general poll tax law providing for the
collection of the tax in all cities of the
first class.
One of the men who refused to pay
the tax was today convicted and sent to
prison, and the citizens have raised
money by subscription TO send an attOr-
ney to Topeka with an application to
the supreme court for his release on
writ of habeas corpus.
1t will be heard the last of this week
or the first of next.
