THIS DISPLAY IS A SECRET.
Still Another Section of the Santa Fe
Jubilee Procession.

day of Festival week will be headed by

At the division office in this city last
night a meeting of the station, track,

chairman, Mr.. Fred L. Feakins, secre-
tary, and Mr.. H. V. Rogers, treasurer
This organization will carry out the
work of preparing the display which
will head the Santa F'e parade.
Division superintendent G. T. Nc
Clellan was unable to attend the meet
ing on account of absence from the
city, but ne left with his chief clerk
Mr.. Webb a letter in which he sug-
gested a plan for a display. 1t took
those in attendance at the meeting but
a few minutes to decide to carry out
the plan suggested by Mr.. Mcclellan,
and steps will be at once taken to
raise a sufficient fund by collecting
from each employee an amount equal to
his hospital fees for the months of Ju-
ly, August and September.
The division employees do not want
the details of their display made public
They want to spring a surprise on the
people of Topeka and the visitors. The
display will be along line not thought
of by any other set of employees.
There will be several sections to the
display, and at the next meeting COM
mitteeS will be appointed to take charge

The Other Side.

We are in receipt of the following
letter, which purports to give Mr..
Hanchett's side of the difficulty at
Silver Peak. We have eliminated
such portions of it as were of a per-
sonal character:
Ed. BULLETIN: My attention has
been directed to a letter in your pa.
per of the 10Th of May written by
one Volcano" l have just returned
from Silver Peak and am familiar
with the incidents referred to by
Volcano, in which he states that
the present incumbent aud very much
In evidence owner of the Silver Peak
property, was met with a warm re-
ception by one General WATSON, and
follows this stretch of imagination
with an outrageous attack upon the
reputation OF a man whose general
standing is superior to any in Silver
Peak.
Mr.. Hanchett was misled entirely
by the outrageous lying promises
made to him by the crowd of coward
ly experts who waited their opportu-
nifty to sneak into the property under
cove- of darkness and an escort OF
twelve men. Upon learning of the
state OF affairs at the mines, Mr..
Hanchet armed himself and, unat-
tended, dropped upon the invaders.
He ordered the General off the prop
erty in emphatic language, and the
General began basty retreat. Mr..
Hanchett then turned his attention
to the Others, and while preparing to
wipe the earth with one of them, the
General stole up behind and threw
himself upon Hanchett, at the same
time shouting Justify for help and
proclaiming himself deputy Sheriff.
His cries were cut short by a fierce
Highlander on the right optic, de-
livered by Mr. Hanchett. Several
others who were hiding behind rocks
rushed out in body to the attack.
One grasped Mr.. Hanchett around
the legs, but before he was overpow-
cred he landed a left-hand upper cut
on another of his assailants, who af-
forwards remarked that he thought
mule had kicked him.
1t will suffice to say that Mr.. Han
chett has expended about 5000, 600
in improving the mines and milling
plant, and the property is virtually
his, as can be clearly shown.
