night, as the 1910 O'Clock passenger
train arrived at Olathe from Kansas
City going south, Mrs. Trotter, who
was one OF the passengers, was as
sisted from the train to the platform
by Mr.. Hedden. As soon as she had
allghted' she turned to a bystander
and handed her grip and then drew a
revolver aud fired at Hedden. The
oall went wide Of its mark. Mrs,
TrOtter believed that she had shot
Hedden and she then directed the
revolver at her own breast and fired.
The ball struck over the heart, was
detected and lodged under the
shoulder blade. She was carried 70
her home, one block from the depot
where the shooting occurred, and a
physician sent for. The ball was ex.
tracted without much difficulty.
Jealousy is supposed to have been
the cause of the attempted double
murder. Hedden had been paying
attention TO Mrs. Trotter.-JournaI,

School Building Damaged by Fire.

The Third ward school building
narrowly escaped destruction by fire
last Saturday. The floor, walls and
ceiling OF Miss Hettle Ravens pri-
mary room on the first floor we're
badly damaged. Prompt action on
the part Of several citizens kept the
fire from spreading to other parts Of
the building.
The fire was discovered by Tom
Taylor. who was passing the school
building about 1890 o'clock and
noticed smoke issuing from the win.
dows OF Miss Ravens room. He ran
over to the building and attempted to
gain entrance, but the doors aud win
dows were locked. A cry OF fire was
started and crowd quickly gathered.
The fire department arrived on good
time but made bungle of the work
by rushing into the basement with
the hose instead Of going into Miss
Haveni' room as directed by those
who had located the fire. The fire
Was 10 the floor OF Miss Ravens
room. 1t started near the east wall
and was well under way before water
was turned on the blaze. The door to
the cIoskroom and hallway OF Miss
Havens' room was almost burned out.
The flames had begun to creep
through the ceiling into Miss Fannie
WOrden's room above before the fire
was subdued. A portion of the floor
twelve feet long aud four feet wide in
Miss Ravens room was burned out.
The blackboard, wall pictures and
desks were burned and badly damaged
and the closet room in the basement
was flooded with water. The damage
to the building will not exceed
500. The loss is fully covered by
insurance. 1t will require several
weeks for repairs.
The origin Of the fire is mystery.
There had been no fire in the building
since last Tuesday. Janitor Cockrell
and his assistant, Ulysses Romig,
were working in the building part OF
Saturday forenoon, They left the
building only short time before the
fire was discovered. A theory, and a
plausible one, of the origin of the fire,
is that rats carried waste paper and
mai ches beneath the floor OF Miss
Havens' room through d foul air
ventillator.
This is Wellington's finest public
building, and its destruction by fire
was narrowly averted. Had the ire
occurred at dead hour OF night the
building would undoubtedly have
been Quilted by fire. The experience
Saturday will probably cause the
school authorities to take extra pre-
cautions against fire in the future.

Uncle Jimmy Wright Is Dead.

Uncle Jimmy Wright, one of the
oldest settlers Of Sumner county, and
a well known character, died at the
home OF Mike Troutman near Belle
PLANE, Wednesday morning at 9
o'clock. He died Of a complication of
diseases. He was abou: rs years of
age and had been gradually failing in
health for sumo time.
"Uncle Jimmie" as he was famil.
larly known, was a Georgian by birth.
He spent few years 10 Kentucky and
removed from there to Missouri.
He came to Kansas from Buchanan
county, Mo-, in an early day and took
up a homestead near Oxford. He was
Variously estimated to be worth frum
$4,000 to $4,000, every dollar of which

the father CT seven children, four Of
whom are living. 1t is understood
that he left everything to his son,
Tom Hicks Wright, father.in.law Of
Sam Smith.
The funeral was held Friday
morning at 10 o'clock under the
auspices of tue Oxford lodge, AT. &

1t is said that Uncle Jimmy Wright

man pear Belle PLANE Wednesday
morning, succeeded in making peace
with his family before he died, anC
that he verbally willed his property
equally among his wife and his -four
living children.
Wright, during his lifetime, had
made as many as fifteen different
written wills, directing the DISPOSE
tiOn of his property among those OF
his kin with whom he was upon good
terms. His last written instrument
directed that practically everything
that belonged to him be given to his
favorite son, Tom Hicks Wright.
Two weeks before Uncle Jimmy
died when he realized that the Grin
Destroyer would soon close 10 on him
MS revengeful nature relented and he
sent for his children with whom he
had not not been On speaking terms
for years, and asked their forgiveness
he made verbal will in their pres.
ence, directing thatall OF his property
and money be equally divided among
his lawful heirs. Tom Hicks Wright
bad been staying at Mike Troutman's
during the old mans last days on
earth, and when the family were called
to the bedside Of the estranged father
he aud Mike Troutman were sent
away from the place, so that neither
OF them could interfere with the dying
mans verbal will. This notion Of
Uncle Jimmy's may have been only
one OF his eccentricities. The Wright
oOys are trying to agree TO the terms
OF the verbal will and effect a distri.
button Of the property without going
into litigation with one another.

Jimmy shows that he was worth at

PRISONERS WILL BE WE'LL
TREATED.

Washington, July l1.-Capt. Cooper,
superintendent of the naval academy at
Annapolis spent some time with Score
tary Long today going over the question
of caring for the Spanish naval prisoners,
including Admiral Cervera, who are to
be auartered at the academy. A complete
understanding was reached by which the
Spanish officers will receive every consid.
GRAFTON consistent with their rank. Capt
Cooper stated that If he were to remain at
the academy he would invite Admiral
Cervera into his own house, but as he is
aEout to go to another duty he could not
extend to him his courtesy. While reliev-
ing the prisoners from all undue humili-
alton there will be no disposition to be-
stow such ELUSIVE courtesy upon them as
to place them in the light of hero mar
tyrs. The Harvard sailed today from
Santiago bringing the remaining Spanish
same as those brought by the St. Louis,
the men going to Portsmouth and the
officers to Annapolis.
