Sensational Developments in
Death of Judge Thomas.
Thought to Have Drowned
While Fishing Near Caldwell.
MURDER is CHARGED.
Three Caldwell Men Tell Com
plicated Stories
And Are Openly Charged With
the Crime.

Caldwell June 11.-There is, appar-
emily a deep mystery connected with
the death of Judge J. NJ. Thomas, who
was supposed to have been drowned
while fishing last Sunday night. It is
although the coroner's inquest resulted
in the return of a verdict to the effect
that Judge Thomas came to his death
while dynamiting the river for fish.
1t was supposed that the shock had
killed him.
The post mortem examination showed
that no water was in his lungs. His
stomach was free from water and all
theory of drowning. The belief is
growing among the people at Caldwell
that POuIsOn, Finch and Ellison are
responsible for Thomas death City
Marshal Rowan of Caldwell, telephOned
Sheriff Heskett of Wellington to come
take the matter in his own hands. The
sheriff went to Caldwell Immediately,
and is making further investigations
today.
PouIson, Finch and Ellison, who were
with Thomas when he met his death,
have been talking more or less since
the affair happened, and it is said their
stories take on n new color every day.
The affair has become quite suspicious
and Caldwell talks of nothing else. The
belief is general that if the three men
We're put through the sweating process
they could be convicted of the crime.
The character of the three men under
suspicious of the Caldwell people, who
will not be satisfied unless the county
officers make a thorough investigation
into the death of Judge Thomas.

The country possesses qualities for

differences in altitude. from a few hun

western resorts.
Game is found in abundance in the
mountains adjacent to Roswell, and
fishing is good Topeka men who have

and fishing advantages cannot be sur

Fifth District Congressman Reiterates
His Pledges.

In letter to Andrew Shearer, chair

said:
Washington, D. c., June 2, 1898.
Your telegram informing me of my
unanimous denomination by the Popu-
list convention of the Fifth congress
sional district was received too late for
a message of thanks to have reached
you before the delegates had departed
for their homes.
It is scarcely necessary for me to say
that L feel profoundly gra teful to the
delegates of the convention and to the
people they represented for the high
honor they have conferred upon me.
Perhaps the honor is greater than I de-
serve, but I trust 1 may be pard0ned
for saying that it is not more than 1
have tried to deserve. When l was
nominated and elected two years ago
the only pledge [ made was that I
would serve my country and my con-
StituentS to the best of my ability and
earnestly strive to carry out the prin-
ciples of the platform upon which I was
elected. The action of your convention
cOnvinces me that those who honored
me with their votes believe 1 have tried
to fulfill that promise. The expression
of confidence as signified by the action
of the convention is no less pleasing
and satisfying than the consciousness
of having tried to be a good and faith
full servant.

Superin tendent Orders 80 Men Bap-

The story is told of a division superin-
tendent of a Kansas road in the early
days when the country swarmed with
railroad builders. The division super
intendent was experimenting the con-
structiOn of a branch line which ran
parallel to another branch line being
built by a rival road. One day the di-
vision superintendent received word
through one of his OverSeerS that TWEEN
ty men on the other road had been bap-
tised by a travelling evangelist.
Twenty men. Have we had any
baptised?'> asked the division superin-
tendent.
No" replied the overseer.
I'VE can't afford to let them beat US
in any way. Take thirty men down to
the river and have them baptised at
once. 1 will see if any other road can
get ahead of US or not"

Engines Now Run Through From
Topeka to Fort Madison.

An entirely new plan of running the
engines on the eastern and Chicago di-
vision has been inaugurated. Hereto
fore engines running out of Topeka
made the trip to Marceline, Mo, and
returned. The trains between Fort
Madison and Marceline were handled
by other engines and crews. Between
Fort Madison and Chicago the train was
again made up with other engines.
This change has been made and now
the same engines take the trains
through from Topeka to Fort Madison
and from Fort Madison back to Tope-
ka. The crews are changed on the run
between Topeka and Fort Madison at
Marceline.
The reason given for the change is
that it does away with three engines at
a cost of about $40, GOO and interest at
3 per cent.

Business Men Hold a Meeting and
Take Treasures to Actively OPP
pose the Bonding of
the City.

Nearly forty of tho active and
prominent business men of lola held
a meeting Tuesday to consider ways
aud means to most effectively oppose
the proposition to bond the city for
the purpose of buying the gas plant.
A very large majority of those in at
tendance are not in any way interest
ed in the Gas Company, but they are
all deeply interested in the town and
they are unanimous i'm their belief
that to add S3S, 900 bonded indebted
ness to its already heavy burden
would do the city irreparable injury.
After thorough discussion the follow
ing were appointed committee to
conduct the campaign against the
bonds, namely: A. l.. Taylor, w. l..
Bartels, $. A. Ellis and r.. II. Bennett.
During the late campaign the
orators of the Citizens ticket explain
ed that they jumped onto the editor
of this paper because there WAS. "no
one else in sight" The meeting last
night will relieve them of the en-
barrassment. There are others in
sight now, and there will he still
others as the days go by. The editor
of the REGISTER may therefore expect
a little rest.
