knowledge in the Columbia college of
Washington. He fought for the lost
cause" and before leaving the confed-
crate army was made a colonel. He was
employed as civil engineer in the con-
struction of the Kansas d Pacific rail-
road, and this work brought him to Kan
sas in 1865. He lived at Lawrence until
1884, and then took up farming in
Leavenworth county. His early polit-

and there is baronetcy attached. Back
in 1852 there was a Sir Roger Charles
Doughty Tichborne, a lively young
man, who romped over the great estate
and made its great baron.al halls merry.
He cell in love with his cousin, Kate,
who returned his affection. But her
father, for some unknown reason, dis
approved and would not permit a mar
