ROBBERY AND RAPE.

Saturday morning, July 10th, a
young fellow between % and 50 years
old, went to the house of Henry Willms,
few miles south of Ellinwood. and
when no one was at home but Mrs.
Wilims, who is about 81 years old and
partially paralized. and after going
through the house and securing SIT in
cash from bureau drawer, criminally
assaulted the helpless old lady and
made his escape.
Mr. and Mrs. Willms are the parents
of ex-commissioner c. A. Wilims of
Comanche township. The old gentle.
man hitChed up in the morning to drive
over to his sons. only about a mile
away. AS he drove out of the yard a.
young fellow came up and asked to get
drink. He was shown the pump,
and Mr.. Willms then drove away.
When he came back-in less than an
hour-the robbery and assault had been
committed.
Word was immediately sent to Ell
linwood and posse organized to search
for the fiend, Sheriff Aber was teIe.
graphed for in the afternoon and with
Deputy John Dawson went to the scene
of the crime, but could get no clews to
the whereabouts of the perpetrator.
A farmer and his son drove into town
ABOUT the time Mr.. Willms was return
ing from his sons, and near the Willms,
ST. farm a man answering the descrip.
tion of the robber came out of the corn
field asked for ride to town with the
farmer, and was doubtless in the town
when the news of his crime was brought
In. Afterwards young fellow Is or
IL years old was found who confessed
that he had been with the fellow who
committed the crime that morning. He
says they started out to rob houses.
and that he was lying in the corn field
near the house when the other fellow
: whose only name he knew was
"Slim' went to the house for a drink;
claimed he had not seen him since.
The boy is being held as accessory TO
the crime.
Sheriff Aber on Sunday telegraphed
to Hutchinson for couple of blood
hounds, and getting them tried to put
them on the trail, but was not success

The Big Show Union.

sin union there is strength" Moth.
ing symbolizes this trite saying more
than the uniting of two immense
shows that heretofore have been suf-
ficient alone to be classed as the very
biggest and best in the world. The
Adam Forepaugh show was founded
about forty years ago by the man
whose name it bore, and Sells Brothers
show was organized nearly thirty
years ago by the brothers who have
during all that time personally con-
Quoted it. Never has there been a
stain on the escutcheon of either of
these splendid exhibitions. Adam
Forepaugh died over seven years ago,
and his show was purchased by Bar.
mum, Bailey and Cooper, who con-
Quoted il on a mammoth scale. Three
years ago initial preparations were
made toward uniting it with the Sells
Brothers show, which was soon after
ward consummated. Then it was
that the famous trihle show alliance
was formed between the Barnum and
Baily, the Forepaugh and Sells and
the Buffalo bill exhibitions. The OBJ
ject was to bring into alliance all that
was worth any consideration what
ever, and eventually occupy the en-
tire field of the whole world, and give
to the public guaranteed attraction
OF superior character in every secr
ton of the world. In the unfolding
of the plan, the people this year are
for the first time made acquainted
with its matchless magnitude. While
the Barnum and Bailey show is de-
lighting the people of Great Britain,
the Buffalo Bill show is exhibiting in
one section of the United States, and
the Forepaugh. Sells Brothers union
is giving the people of this part of
the country a chance to see tented
exhibition absolutely without any par
allel. The English-speaking peo.
pie of two hemispberes will this year
be permitted TO see and enjoy the
best, purest and most extensive out
door entertainments in the wide world.
The advantage of this alliance is apr
parent now, and while silly.pated
whippersnappers were crying "Mono
poly" and trying to call attention tC
their empty canvasses and junk-pile
paraphernalia, the formula of this
great scheme was being consummated,
That the public for whom this alliance
was formed will appreciate and pat
ronize 1t admits Of no reasonable
doubt. At Great Bend, on Friday
August 5th the people of this vicinity
will have an opportunity of seeing fol
themselves the result of the most com
| prehensivs shows coalition ever st
tempted.

Jim Valentine Killed.
To w. R. BRADY. /
Great Bend. July Is, 1898. J

On last Friday morning the body of
Jim Valen sine, colored, was found
alongside the Santa Fe railroad track
between Raymond aud Sterling. He
had either fallen or been thrown from
the cars and the train ran over him,
cutting off his legs. When found he
had evidently been dead several hours.
Thursday afternoon he was in Great
Bend, and when we saw him, about 4
O'Clock, was considerably under the
influence of liquor. He was we'll
known here having been for several
years porter and waiter at the different
hotels. He was married here several
years ago. His mother lives in Okla
homa. Jim's life was reckless one.
and doubtless his death was the result
of his last spree of Thursday.

VIM. 6. HoFFER, editor of the
Beacon at Lincoln. Kansas, has been
nominated for congress By the demo
Gratis of the 9th district. It would
seem that the democrats and popu.
lists of the 9th ought to quit working
at cross purposes, and continue to pull
together in the future as they have in
the past for the success of pure DEM
ocratic principles. The democrats of
that district are about as numerous as
the populists, but they have, for the
past eight years, supported and elected
populist candidates. It would seem
that the populists are in q measure to
blame for the two elements not being
together this year also. Boys. quit
monkeying and get down to practlca
politics.
