A DIFFERENT STORY.
The following dispatch from FL Do
RADIO gives another version of the run
away:
81 Dorado. May 18--The morning
passenger train on the Missouri Pa
cific was about two and One-haIf hours
late this morning. It seems that short
~ before the time for the passenger
train to depart from Yates Center. the
hOstleT there brought engine $40 out
from the round house and left it upon
a sidetrack ready for freight train 81
which would leave after the passenger.
The switch opened onto the main line.
1t must be that the throttle was not
tightly closed. and that the steam
gradually oOzinS through forced it
open. Anyhow, the engine started out
ran onto the main line. and started west
at great speed. It was finally found
dead about six miles from Yates Cen
ter. taken back, and then the way was
clear for the passenger.

DIR. EASTMAN MUST GO.
Some Populist Needs the Job at
the State Insane ASYLUM.

One of the first men who will be re-
quested to resign by the state board of
charities is Dr.B.D. Eastman, superin-
tendent of the Topeka insane asylum If
he declines to do SO, charges of cruelty
and mismanagement of the institution
will be preferred against him. it is said
and he Will be disposed at all events
These are the customary charges made
in removing the head of an insane asy-
lum-
Governor Leedy while maintaining
provisional office in the VeaIe block re-
ceived from DR.. Eastman a personal
application for reelection. DR.. East
man also notified the governor that if
the board wanted to make any changes
at the institution, he would be glad to
cooperate with them and the governor,
but would much desire to retain the
place.
Dr. Eastman hopes TO retain his po-
siton under the decision of the SUI
pren1e court in the case of T. J. Hayes
known as the tenure of office case. His
term expires in December but it is the
intention of the board to dispose of him
by June 1, if possible. In the interest
OF civil service, DR.. Eastman ought to
remain, but such a beneffcent reform as
civil service has no place in either
Populist or Republican party politics.

To Meet Next Month at Manhattan

COrbett to Fight ChOynski For
$4,000 Purse.
To Be a 20 Round Bout in San
Francisco.
FITZ is URGING 1T
Sharkey and Maher to Meet at
Manhattan Beach
In Early June, For a Purse Of
$4,000.

San Francisco. May 13.-Information
reached the city last night which points
to the probability of a match between
COrbett and ChOynski. The reason
for ParsOn Davies mysterious visit to
the east is thus made apparent. He
went to arrange a match between Cor
bett and ChOynsh to be fought in this
city in the fall. The Parson took the
trip in the interest of the National
Sporting club. and the officers of that
organization have received information
that leads them to confidently expect
that the match will be made Davies
has urged FitZSimmOnS to bring about
this result. knowing that if Fftzsim-
mons announced to Corbett that he
would fight him after the ex-champion
had beaten ChOynski, Jim would prob
ably go in for the battle.
Fitzsimmons. it is believed, is lend
ing himself to the project ChOynski is
perfectly willing to fight Corbett for
any amount. The only trouble in bring
ing about the match has been with the
latter. If the bout comes off it will
be a 2O-round go for a purse of SO. 600.
All the National people are jubilant
over the outlook
