AFOUL OF ENGLAND.

English Artist, Robbed by Spanish
Guerrillas, Starves to Death.
Havana, October 22-Spain will
now have to answer to England for
the death of w. Hughes, correspond
ent and artist for Black and White, Of
London. Hughes was found lying
dead on the prado on Thursday night.
He had starved to death and lain in
the gutter for hours before it became
anybody's business to remove the
corpse. He had recently visited Pinar
del Rio with a pass from the military
governor. While there a party of
Spanish guerrillas assaulted and rob-
bed him of everything he had, except
his clothes. Officers looked on and
raised no hand to prevent the out
rage, which took place in broad day.
light.
Hughes appealed to the military
commander for help and demanded the
restitution of his property. He was
only laughed at. The only thing he
could do was to return to Havana.
walking the entire distance. When
he reached the city he was ragged and
starving. Having been deprived of
his passport he, could not establish his
identity or cable to his friends in
England. He appealed for temporary
aid in several quarters, but always met
with rebuffs. There was no help for
him in his predicament. and he starv-
ed to death, lying around the streets
for hours before death relieved his
sufferings.

SCHEME DIDN'T WORK
Because the Tenderfoot Was Onto the
Game.

On the road between AZuSa and Glen
dora there is a magnificent specimen of
a live-oak tree in the middle of the road
the spreading branches of which reach to
both sides of the road, making it an ideal
place for one to stop and rest from the
heat of the day.
1t had been my intention to pause here
and eat my lunch, but when 1 arrived at
the spot 1 found it already occupied by
an old man, who was busily engaged in
tying rope to one of the overspreading
branches of the tree.
He paid no attention to me and l watch
ed him without comment
Having secured the rope to his satisfac-
ton, he tied the other end in a moose,
and then, hauling up a barrel mounted
it and put the moose around his neck.

He shifted the moose under his ear be-

Eighteen months elapsed before the
now celebrated case again came to
trial in the old court house at Platte
City. This was in August, 1895. The
lapse of time had not softened the bit
terness of the two principals. Soured
by two defeats in court, Reed was
feroclously determined to fight to the
last ditch, if he became bankrupt in
the course of the struggle Winn felt
that having started the suit he could

ting that he had all along been in

cess. Neither Winn nor Reed would
abate one jot from his position.
Acrimony and intense personal hos
tility had succeeded the hasty anger
out of which the suit sprang. The
families continued to live on the adj
joining farms, but all intercourse be-
tween them had ceased. Even rela-
tives who had absolutely no interest
In the controversy had been dragged
into the feud.
When court assembled the entire
community felt that the hog suit was
OF more Importance than all other liti-
cation on the docket Nearly 200 wit
nesses had been summoned. Winn and
Reed arrived, each attended closely
by bodyguard of personal friends and
relatives. Great care was taken to pre-
vent. personal encounter between the
men, Both were known to possess
nerve, and the recent differences had
lrritated an old sore, long since healed.
A score OF years before, when both
Winn and Reed were young men, they
had dispute about politics <nd Reed
shot Winn. The wound healed and
Winn recovered, but he carried the bull
let as a reminded of Reeds marksman-
ship. Time cured this difference and
the men were fast friends until hog
came between them. Everybody felt
that false move might ingulf the lit

was made to get the men to disarm
Winn consented, and left his gun with
friend in the Office of the Wells Bank
ing Company, but Reed while dis
claiming any offensive design, declin-
ed to give up his weapon. Besides the
principals, most of the active members
of the two factions and many of the
witnesses carried guns and knives con-
cealed about them.
This was the situation when court
assembled. Judge w. S. Herndon was
on the bench. The counsel were the
same as at the previous trial. At every
session OF the court the large room was
crowded to suffCcation by the army of
witnesses and friends of the principals
There was evidently strain of expec-

the trial progressed to near it's close
All the evidence had been heard and

the public. Feeling that public senti-
ment was somewhat in favor of his
opponent, Reed tcCk a change of venue.
and the case was sent to Platte county.
There it ran the usual course and
finally came to trial for the first time
in the fall of 1898.
There was an imposing array of
legal talent on both sides. For the
plaintiff appeared M. B. Riley and b.
F. Ellis. of Plattsburg, and J. w. Co.
burn, of Platte City. For the defend
ant were Ras Hail. of Plattsburg, John
Cross, of Lathrop, and Francis NJ.
Wilson, of Platte City. Over 100 wit
nesses testified at the trial. which
lasted a week, in the old brick court
house at Platte City. It resulted in an
other verdict for Winn. The bitter
ness of this defeat sank deep into the
soul of Watt Reed. He swore that he
would not rest satisfied with the YER
dict. Acting under his instructions.
his attorneys took an appeal to the
Kansas City Court of Appeals. Sew
erdl months later the case was argued
before the full bench of that court A
nalGl er of Kansas City lawyers were
retained to assist in the argument be-
fore the Court of Appeals. An affida-
VT of John Martin, juror, was intro
duoed. Martin swore that he was fore
ed by the other jurors to agree to the
verdict by VIM by threat to report
him to the court because he had con-
yersation with Reed during the trial
On the affidavit the finding of the Cir
cult Court was reversed and the case
remanded for a new trial.

them to go home. He would stay in

his income ceased. He had spent all
the cash money he had deposited in a
Pensacola bank that he had left when
he proudly boarded a train with his
commission as Senator bound for
Washington. His bills at his hotel
grew into large proportions and were
not liquidated. He was asked for his
room. He then went TO private
boarding house. Finally he was az
judged insane and was booked for the
State asylum. He had lost all of his
Florida friends. But before he could
be removed Senator Palmer and Gen
eral Alger had him committed TO a
private sanitarium, they bearing the
expense. He remained there <p TO the
time of his death.

that Miss Palm was the only woman
who had ever touched his heart. While
he was in Detroit and before being

On August Goth the Excelsior left St.
Michaels with large mum Der of miners
and large quantity of gold. Reports
were current that her treasure amounted
to million dollars. Soon after leaving
st. Michaels the Excelsior was caught on
the dangerous fats of the Yukon and
broke two blades of the propeller. When
the Cleveland reached Ounalaska she
found the Excelsior undergoing repairs.
1t lie probable she left Ounalaska last
Monday.
Shortly before the Cleveland left for
Seattle on her journey home the United
States revenue cutter Bear put into ST..
Michaels to tell another story of death
and disaster in the ice-bound Arctic.
The Bear had on board Captain White
side, his wife, the first and fourth officers
and four seamen of the steam wha1er
Nevach. They are all that remain to
tell terrible story of death in the Arc
tic. The Nevach was caught in an ice
pack. Of her crew forty-two were lost.
Thirty-one were crushed in the ice
and ten were frozen to death. The
Bear saw the vessels signal of distress
near Point Burrow, and went to her as.
sistaAce. The Captain, his wife, two
officers and four seamen were persuaded
to leave the crippled ship, but nine
others positively refused to go. They
were left in desolate field of ice, and
it is feared perished with their comrades.
The terrible tale of suffering told by
Captain Whiteside and his officers forms
but an incident in the story that the
Cleveland brings. It was believed after
learn no more of the Klondike, its dan
gers and disasters, but the Cleveland
had hardly gone So miles when she
passed vessel that told of evils to come,
of dangerous spirits ready for any out
| rage, of excited and angry men who
have left a black record on the coast on
their own pathway to the Yukon.
! The Cleveland and Humboldt had
met, and new stories of the abandoned
adventurers the latter vessel is convey
ing to the gold fields were sent back to
the world.
When the Humboldt stopped at Ouna-
laska on her journey to st. Michaels, the
passengers were in open rebellion. They
began to realize that it would be impos-
sible to reach Dawson before next spring
and they knew that misery awaited them
at st. Michaels. There were open
threats against w. D. Wood, organizer
manager of the expedition, and it is
feared he may lose his life at the hands
of his passengers.
