Ayers Orders Overruled By the
Commanding General.
WILL ABANDON WIKOFF
ALL TROOPS ORDERED TO LEAVE
CAMP.
"Never Mind What Alger Says, I am
In Command Now" Was General
Miles Message-All of the Sol
diers Will Be Sent Away at Once
and the Camp Abandoned.

New York, Sept PA dispatch to
the Press from Camp Wikoff says:
Under peremptory orders from General
Miles, preparations are being made to
break up this camp at once, by send
ing home all the soldiers here. This
is entirely contrary to what has been
the understanding of the officers in
command General Shafter said last
week that 5000 or 1000 men would be
kept here at least until October, and
this was supposed to have been the or
der of Secretary Alger.
An officer said today when General
Miles order came, a telegram was sent
him saying that such order was con-
trary to that of Secretary Alger, and
Miles replied: Never mind VISIT AL
ger says; am in command now"
That, OF course, settled 1t so far as
the officers here are concerned, and I'M
less General Miles orders are counter
manded, next week will see the prac-
tical end of Camp Wikoff
General Bates said: My orders are to
send the troops away as fast as the
transportation can be arranged"
When asked if these orders did not
conflict with those of Secretary Alger,
he simoly said: They are new or
ders.'
In pursuance of this plan, the deten-
ton hospital is being abandoned All
the men in this hospital fit to travel are
being sent to New York on the SHINE
cock. and the others are being taken
to the general hospital The general
hospital is being cleared out as fast as
possible. but there are two or three
hundred cases that cannot be moved
without danger.
Strong frame buildings are now being
erected for the use of these patients.
These buildings will be finished in two
or three days, and the worst cases will
be moved into them. Nearly all of
these are typhoid fever cases, to move
which would cause frightful mortali-
ty. Major Brown said that he thought
there would be about so cases which
could not be moved for two or three
weeks at least.

Kansas City. Mo. Sept. ia special
to the Times from Liberty, Mo, says:
AT 1920 tonight Benjamin Jones, a
gray-haired man, IS years of age, was
taken from the Clay county Jail and
swung to an iron beam at the front
entrance of the court house. The mob,
which consisted of about 70 men,
quietly rode in on horseback, finished
their work in 80 minutes and left.
Jones had committed a criminal as
Sault on Annie Montgomery, an IL
Sear-old girl, yesterday evening, ana
had confessed his guilt just before he
was hanged.
During the day Jones got Mrs. John
MontgOmery's consent to take her little
girl to the local fair. They spent the
day there, starting home in buggy
at 7:30 in the evening. The assault
was made on the way home. When she
arrived home the girl told her parents
of the brute's deed. Physicians who
We're called reported her condition such
that she could not live.
The father spread the news and with
the aid of Constable David c. Roberts,
soon located Jones near his home. An
angry crowd gathered quickly, and it
was with difficulty that Roberts man
aged to get Jones to Jail, which the Of
ncer cid his morning.
Much Indignation was expressed dur
Ing the day, and this afternoon there
were rumors that Jones would be
3ynched tonight.
All day long crowds of horsemen
came in from all directions. At 1920
tonight the command was given to sur
round the court house.
This was done Immediately and the
main body of the crowd pushed into
the yard, through the hallway TO the
cell in the northwest wing of the build
ing. Part of the mob had already gath
cred there and was waiting. The work
of cutting the bolts in the locks of the
doors was begun and the sound of the
sledge hammers driving the sharp chisel
through the locks rang out on the
night air.
1t was quick work, however to get
the doors open, and there was rush
IN the Jail.
The lynchers soon came out with the
rope around the old mans neck. He
was begging for his life, but no heed
was paid to his appeals. He was led
out of the hallway TO the front en-
trance.
Hang him right here" shouted one
of the masked men. A few minutes
were spent debating the matter, b-N
the end of the rope had already gone
over an iron beam of the porch. The
old man stood trembling and groan-
ing.
Have you anything to say?" were
the gruff words of the leader.
Il was drunk when done it; oh,
was drunk" came the reply. The COM
-mand to swing him up was given.
There was a quick jerk on the rope
and the body was given a swing out
into the air from off the top step. The
job was finished and the crowd melted
away quietly.
Jones had served a term of two years
in the Missouri penitentiary for for
gerry. He has been travelling lately in
Kansas and Oklahoma selling medi-

shafter as a Marksman.

Colonel Thomas H. Barry, adjutant
general to Major General Otis before
leaving for Manila, told a good story of
Major General Skaters shooting in the
days when he was a colonel on the Mex
lean border.
7 was Skaters aid years ago when we
both were bronzing under the hottest
sun that shines in these states. Shafter
was known as the best shot not only in
his regiment, but in the whole country
about. One day an officer from another
regiment not acquainted with Shafters
ability in this line visited the post and
soon made it apparent to us that he es-
teemed himself about as expert a marks
man as ever pulled a trigger. We secret
ly laughed at his opinion of himself. and
whispered to each other, Just wait till
Pecos Bill gets after him.
We'll, his time came. One morning
Shafter and l started out to ride 40
miles or more to another post, and the
visitor asked to be allowed to accom-
pany us We trotted along easily until
about noon, when we halted to eat our
luncheon, which We packed with US. At
that time officers carried short carbines
on such service, and l had one strapped
10 my saddle. The conversation drifted
from the topography Of the country to
craftsmanship. and the Officer-caIl him
Smith-Said: Say, colonel, have you got
any shots in your regiment
Shafter smiled and replied: Have l?
Why. I've got some men who can dis
count the sharpshooters you read about.
Officers too. I'm not much myself, but
when you get back TO the fort I'll tell
few OF the good ones to show you a thing
or two
Just then an antelope spran., up a
quarter Of a mile away. and all seeing it
at the same moment reached for their
carbines. Shafter was quickest, and in
a second adjusted the sights TO COO feet
and blazed away. Down came Mr.. Ante
lope and when we rode up to where he
lay we found a bullet over his heart.
Smith examined the wound. looked
over the carbine and then muttered. half

SOME WONDERFUL OLD LADIES

1t is an acknowledged fact that women
more often attain very great age than
men, Among woman, one of the most
famous centenarians was the Countess of
Desmond. who died in the reign OF james
l from the effects of an accident Her
reputed age was 145 years. This wonder
full old lady at the age of 100 years was
so lively and well that she actually took
part m dance; and only five .ears be-
fore her death she Travelled from Bristol
to London-a tremendous journey in
those days--in order to personally attend
to some business matters.
Lady Desmond fame as a centenarian
sinks into nothing compared with that Of

friends. We drove down a long, narrow
street paved with cobblestones, shut
. in by two-story stone and brick build
ings, built flush with the thorough
fare. Each building was rooted with
heavy red tiles, each window was lat
ticed with heavy wood, and from the
second floor of every building a bal
cOny projected three or four feet into
the street. There was absolutely no
variation IL architecture on the street,
except tina : me balconies were more
elaborate than others, and the latticed
work was sometimes of intricate de-
sign. When we reached the house to
which we had been invited we drove
straight through the great arched open
front door and stopped at the foot of
the stairs. A dozen Malay servants
were lounging about smoking and chat
ting. A Tagal Indian boy took our
cards up. We alighted and while wait
ing 1 remarked that the horses. cows.
etc, resided on the ground floor, which
was of stone, and that the carriages
were also kept there. We then walked
up a flight of broad stone stairs, and.
passing through an opening without
doors, found ourselves in large sala.
a spacious room with dark Wood floor,
polished like piano top.
