Columbus. July 2-There Is g. desper-
ate gang of highwaymen camped south
of this city, two miles, who are robbing
and terrorizing the people. A couple
of farmers came into Columbus and
swore out warrants for their arrest, and
the story they tell is sufficient to make
travellers take some other road than the
one on which these thugs are camped.
A farm hand in going from the harry
est field to the house for a jug of water
saw two of them holding a stranger in
the road, but as he came nearer they
released him and turned their attention
to the farmer. but he spurred up his
horse and got away. At another time
a party Of young men from Columbus
had been to Brush creek frogging and
when returning in the evening were
held up by the same gang, but Ray
Ritter. who was one of the crowd, bluff
fed them off with a target rife.
1t is supposed that they are gang of
genuine thugs and highwaymen who
have come up from the territory to ply
their nefarious games and are ostensi-
bly, playing the horse trader racket.
Sheriff Sparks and one of his men went
out with warrants expecting to capture
the thugs.

REGIMENTAL TENT.
Hutchinson Has a Plan to so Equip
the Twenty-First.

Hutchinson, July "A movement is
on foot to purchase a large regimentaI
tent for the Twenty first Kansas vol
unteers. During their stay at Chicka-
manga the boys have been greatly in
need of a large tent to use as a chapel
7. NJ. Q. A, and reading and writing
room. The government does not fur
nish these but some of the regiments
have been furnished them by friends.
Mr.. Frank Huxtable from this city was
sure that the Twenty first regiment
boys had as many friends as any of the
regiments and has sent a request home
for funds to purchase the big regimen
tai tent. Other members of the COM
pany have written friends at their
towns and 1T will take only a short
time to secure the desired amount. This
city was asked for $50, Wichita for SIS,
Kingman $40 and other towns amounts
in proportion to number of soldiers sent
The First Presbyterian church was
the first to act on Mr.. Huxtable's re-
quest. They were asked for $40 and
collection was taken Sunday, the
This amount was forwarded to Mr..
HUxtable yesterday. The other church,
es will raise the rest of the $50.
The large tent viii be used for a gem
eral headquarters for the soldiers. All
religious services, or meetings of any
character will be held there. It will
be used also as a reading room and for
writing as well.
AS some of the regiments have been
furnished such tents the Twenty first
should have one. There will be little
difficulty in raising the desired amount
of money.

CHEAP LAMP CHIMNEYS.
New Company Has a Machine to Rev
olutionize Manufacturing

Anderson, Ind, July 2.-The Ameri-
can Lamp Chimney company, with cap
ital stock of S75O,000 has been incOr-
porated under the laws of West Vir-
ginia, for the purpose of controlling the
lamp chimney markets of the country
by revOlutionizing manufacture by the
Introduction of machinery, which will
blow at a cost of 5 cents a dozen better
chimneys, it is claimed, than can be
produced by hand at Is cents a dozen.
Aside from this saving in cost of
blowing, there is also a material saving
in other particulars. The company will
control the only machine yet construct
ed. The annual consumption of the ma
ton is 7.000,O00 dozen per annum. It is
figured that they can control the mar
ket by cheap prices. Edward D. Libby
of Toledo, o., is president of the new
company. The company will also man
ufacture rehectors and globes. This in
nOvatiOn will go far. if successfully
carried out, in revolutiOnizing all kinds
of glassmaking by the introduction of
machines to displace men.

DESPERATE BERRY PICKER.
Shoots Indiscriminately st a Column
bus Boy-In Jail Now.

Columbus, July &C w Burch, a
man probably 40 years of age, who halls
from the territory, got into a difficulty
south of this city for which he will have
to spend six months in the county Jail,
and at the same time assist in fixing up
the streets of this city.
1t appears that Burch came here for
the purpose of picking berries, and was
at z. Hull's place where the trouble
occurred. Work was being done in the
field, and as Lesley Meyer picked up the
water jug to go and get some water,
Burch pulled out a revolver and ordered
him to halt. Meyer paid no attention
to the command, thinking the fellow
was in fun, and started on. Burch
again ordered him to halt, but Meyer
did not comply with the request, where
upon he fired four or five shots at him.
Parties who saw the affair, Immediately
drove to town with Meyer and swore
out a warrant for Burch, charging him
with assault with intent to kill This
was placed In the hands of Sheriff
Sparks, who soon located his man and
arrested him and a fellow by the name
of Simpson who was with him. Burch
was given six months in Jail by Justice

Knock Down Fight Over Fort Scott
Police Affairs.

Fort Scott, July 2.-After a long ses-
sion, lasting far into the night, Mayor
P. c. Hesser, Republican, of this city,
appointed and had confirmed an entire
new police force, with T. J. Allen, ex-
sheriff of the county, as chief. The
mayor arranged for the new officers to
go on duty at noon yesterday, but he
came near counting on results before
he had the battle won. When the new
chief and his patrOlmen reported for
business. they found the police judge
and two or three old patrolmen in
charge of police headquarters and
Leedy's CHIEFS desk. The new chief
and six of his men attempted to take
possession of the headquarters and fix
lures belonging to the police depart
ment, but met with hot resistance
from the old patrolmen and a general
knockdown and dragout took place,
ending finally in a victory for the new
force, which took possession of the
chiefs and police judges desk, and
removed them to another building. The
result was that Fort Scott had two Pc,
lice courts and a. double police force
this afternoon, but it is believed to-
night that the old force is weakening
ana will give up the ghost before morn
ing.

Der of volunteers to the various regi-
ments and in many parts of the west
had sent out companies and whole
regiments.

nicely filed. The berry is nice and
