May be a Fatal Kick.

On Saturday, the 22nd, as Ed Bel
field, west of Albert a few miles, was
driving team of young horses they
began to kick, and in attempting to
get to their heads and hold them he
was kicked and almost killed. One of
the horses landed with both hind feet
in Mr.. Belf1eld's back and side. He
was about a quarter of mile from
home, but managed to attract the at
tention>of the hired boy who assisted
him to the house. The physicians
think he may recover, if there is not
too great an internal injury, and if
inflammation can be kept down.

Adiudged Insane.

Monday this community was startled
by the notice that jury of good citi.
zeEs had investigated the matter in
the probate court and found that Mrs.
Diana Ross, wife of Major Z. j. Ross,
was insane. It seems that she had
been showing signs of insanity for some
time, but physicians were trying to cure
the infrmitY; but by last Saturday the
patient was getting so much worse it
was thought best to send her to state
institution where specialists could
treat the case, and the above action
was taken. Both Major Ross and his
unfortunate wife have the deep SYM
pathy of the entire community. Mrs.
Ross was taken to the asylum at Ossa 6

MYSTERIOUS sTABBING.
A White Man Lying at Deaths Door. and
Oolored Man in Jail.

Tuesday evening, after supper, a
white man registered at the Morrison
as F. Hilton. of Tuscon, Arizona, and
a colored man as VIM. Jeltz, Topeka.
Kansas. They registered after sup
per and were assigned rooms, but
went off down town and did not come
back. During the evening they were
seen together on the streets, and later
got into quarrel. When Marshal
Ewalt interfered and asked the cause of
the trouble the negro claimed that
Hilton had stolen SIS from him.
Hilton said he had won the money
from Jeltz. They quit quarreling at
that time but later got into it again.
When Ewait went TO arrest them. both
men ran and got away from him.
About O'Clock Wednesday morning
Hilton was found in Jim Harmison's
yard, south of the round house, with
a stab in the abdomen, just below the
navel. He was weak from loss of
blood. He was brought to town and
DR.. Shaw summoned, and Doctors
Lightfoot and Hess were also in at
tendance in the morning.
About o'clock in the morning a
colored man answering the description
of Jeltz was seen walking up the rail
road track towards Pawnee Rock.
The county attorney wired to Pawnee
Rock to have him arrested, which was
done. Jeltz went to work in the in
terest of paper he represents at To-
peka as soon as he struck Pawnee
Rock, but when the telegram was
received he attempted to get out of
town, and was only captured by shot
gun persuasion. He started to run
and as he ran he threw a knife away,
which was afterwards found, and is
evidently the knife with which Hilton
was cut.
The deputy sheriffs arrived at tie
jail with Jeltz about o'clock Wednes-
day afternoon. When shown Hilton,
Jeltz said he did not know him, but
afterwards said he had seen him here
in Great Bend Tuesday night. Hilton,
upon seeing Jeltz, said: "That
is the man who stabbed me-
AS we go to press "Wednesday at 4
o'clock) Hilton is very weak, and the

IF A common everyday theft steals
a pocket book and is caught in Wash
iugton, where our laws are made, he
is dumped into cherries cell; if a
hungry labcrer out of employment,
steals bread for his starving wife and
children, he goes in along with the
common theft. But when Broker
Chapman is found guilty of helping
to rob millions of people through the
sugar trust and is sentenced to 30 days
in the Washington Jail, he is treated
as royal guest; has his cell fitted up
like prince, with every desired com
fort and luxury. These are FACTS
that no one dares deny. And yet,
there are republican papers which
denounce as cranks and anarchists
the vast common people who have
dared to cry out against the powers of
the rich in this supposed be free
land. How long can a republic be
maintained If such practices are up
held in our nations capitol?

How He SPENT HIS MILLION =.

How He SPENT HIS MILLION "A
short time ago an eccentric millionaire
died at Vienna who, during his life
time, was collector in the full serse
of the word. He lived alone in large
dwelling, and when his heirs appeared
they found nothing OF value except the
collections. In one trunk magnificent
" arranged stamp collection, worth
about $4,000, was found; three cabl-
nets were full of unused railroad tick
cts from all parts of the globe, repre-,
senting face value Of several hundred
thousand dollars, arranged IN geo
graphical order. This collection Is
most interesting. since it contains some
specimens of the very first beginnings OF
railroadiug. among others tickets for g
ride from Troy to Albany, and from
Albany to Newburg, issued during the
first years existence of the railroad
between those points. The collection
of coins found comprised more than
$4,000 specimens and was sold for
$4,000. The stamp collection was
bought by an English dealer for
SO 900; but nobody has yet been found
who wants to give anything at all tol
the collection of railroad tickets, which
is considered unique, but which was
rejected by the Austrian and German
governments, to which 1t was offered,
because of the enormous price asked
for il by the heirs. While he spent
during his lifetime more than $450,00O
on this collection, the heirs will be sat
isfed to realize less than a third of that
sum from the sale of it.
