The shooting occurred In the west,
on the Panhandle branch Of the Santa
Fe railroad, and the story Of it is re-
lated by the Topeka State Journal. The
hero OF the tale is a superstiiious en-
gineer. who believes in warnings. One
night as he was rolling along at a
good speed, when he saw a clear, white
light, like a will-o'-t '-the-wisp, dancing
over the track few hundred feet in
front. He shut off steam and came TO
a. stop as quickly as he could. The
conductor and train crew came run
ming up to the engine to see what was
the matter. There is some one swing
ing a lantern across the track said
the engineer, and the crew went ahead
to investigate. I'VE can't find any
one" reported the rear brakeman, and
the engineer pulled out again, but he
went slowly, and in few minutes
stopped again. The crew went ahead
once more TO see what was the cause
of the light. The conductor, who Was
good shot, drew his revolver, and at
the second shot there was crash, a
scream, and the light went out, and
something white came fluttering down
from the clouds. The engineer was
scared. you've shot an angel, sure,'
he said to the conductor, with face
as pale as death. Investigation brought
out the fact that a small boy, with a
lantern tied to the tale of his kite, was
the cause of the trouble; but 1t leases

innocent culprits do not always eS
cape punishment on account Of their
ignorance. One such offender did
however, pass unmolested, although
she had, all unknowingly, grievously
broken the law.
1t was over in Japan, and she was
an American girl. Unwittingly she
committed the offense of looking upon
royalty. She had gone to the temple
of Kevannon. the goddess Of mercy.
The temple is on hill, and is reach
ed by many steps. Ascending these
steps, she sat down in little tea
house to rest. What happened while
she thus rested, she herself narrates
in the Buffalo Express.
She had closed her eyes and was
taking her ease, when she was sud-
denly aroused by a policeman, who
came very near and glared at her. His
words she could not understand. She
turned and saw gorgeously robed
priest, followed by an old man, who
led by the hand little girl about
eight years old Several ladies were
in attendance.
The visitor was interested in what
she saw. AS for the policeman, she
imagined that he had told her she
could not enter the temple to-day be-
cause of some priestly function.
Soon another policeman came up
and glared at her, but as before she
was in ignorance Of what he meant
She watched the party ascending the
steps, and thought what delicate
looking child the little girl was. and
admired the fine old man who was with
her.
It was not until she reached the ho-
tel that she learned what sin she
had committed. She had had the ef-
frontery to look on royalty. That was
the cause of the black looks. She had
not only looked ON royalty, but she
had looked down on royalty from her
position above the steps.
Nothing but her ignorance of the
language and customs of the country
had carried her through. The two
little princesses are now In Kamakura,

pleading wife. Next the pope was
drawn into the affair, and also the
queen regent OF Spain. All of these
eminent persons used their influence to
secure reopening Of the case, but
with no success. Still the work which
Nine. Dreyfus did was bearing good
fruit. The newspapers continued to
fight about Dreyfus. Zola and Max
Nordau took up their pens and wrote
with gall about some Of the big people
in Paris. Count Esterhazy was tried
on charge similar to that on which
Dreyfus was convicted, and although
not found guilty, the fact was all in fa-
vor of Nine. Dreyfus' campaign. Then
Colonel Picquart, friend of the Drey-
fuses, fought duel with Colonel Hen
ry, and then came the last chapter Of
Henrys confession and suicide. Cap

ONE OF QUANTRELL'S MEN.

One of the most interesting features
Of the Lone Jack picnic at Kansas City
the other day was the presence there
OF number of Quantrell's men, proml-
nent among whom was the famous Geo.
w. Shepherd known over Missouri and
Kansas as "One-eyed Geo. Shepherd,
Quantrell's trusted lieutenant. The true
record Of this man as soldier, guerril-
Ia, friend Of the James and Younger
boys and alleged slayer of Jesse James
would fill volumes. Such a record,
should it ever be written, would thrill
the adventurous, ard throw light upon
many Of the most daring deeds of bor-
der outlawry-both during and after
the war.
miliar long before Frank and Jesse
James were known to the outside world
as daring criminals and desperate men.
Shepherd is son of the late Jas. Shep-
herd, respectable farmer Of Jackson
county. In 1857 he left home and pro-
ccaGed to Utah, where he joined the
army, at that time operating against
the MOFIDnS uIQeI tne COllAdUU Ol
General Albert Sydney Johnston. At
the beginning Of the war he enlisted in
Captain Duncan's company of Rosser's
| regiment, and participated iii the bat
| ties of Wilson's creek ard Pea Ridge
| When General Prices army was order
ed east Of the Mississippi he returned
| to Jackson county and joined Quan'
trell's band OF guerrillas.
Among these kindred spirits Shep-
herd soon came to be known as one Of

the most reckless and daring of the
rough riders. In 1862 he and Bill
Gregg rode down the streets Of lnde-
penlence, then garrisoned by federal
soldiers under Colonel Burris' com
mand, and by shouting and shooting at
everything in sight so terrified the blue
coats that they We're not molestad. He
was in the Tate house at New Santa
Fe i'll March, 1862. when it was sur
rounde sbd oiesrdly Pc'g-k RE- v5
rounded by soldiers, and with sixteen
others, including Quantrell and Cole
Younger, fought his way out through
the flames. He was at the battle of
Independence when Quantrelrs guer-
rillas assisted the regular confederate
forces, and after it was over Quantrell
designated Geo. Shepherd as one
among half g dozen of his men who
had most distinguished themselves fo
daring courage. On the Kansas City
Harrisonville road, in the fall of 1852
Geo. Shepherd rode into an ambush
prepared for the guerrillas. A gun was
leveled at his breast, but he leaned for
ward and shot the man holding It
wheeled his horse around, and in spite
of the volley that was sent after him
rode back to warn Quantrell.
