In I. Towns About
Hutchinson

From the Daily News.
Hon. Chester I. Long arrived In Hutcn-
inson this afternoon. His coming was not
entirely unexpected, as was evidenced by
the fact that nearly every train To-Day
brought a delegation Of statesmen from
some western county.
Very few OF them at first admitted
what they were here for, but man who
has been in politics some told News re-
porter that he did not think the states
men were out entirely for their health.
Mr.. Longs host Of friends in Hutchin-
son will be glad to see him and he to
see them If the visitors don't monopo-
lie all his time he may expect a great
deal of good advice with charge.
Mr.. Long is stopping at the Bruins
wick, and will probably be here a day
or two.
The statesmen who are in the city to
see Mr. Long have all called at the News
office, and it has been the general re-
quest that we do not publish their
names

set TO work with spade and mattock
upon the long neglected fields. and they
turned up every sod and clod upon the
estate. They discovered no treasure.
