Madelia, Mimi. Dec 24.-This village
has a prodigy in the person of James

He is now but a little more than Is years
of age. but is feet 10 inches tall. At

pounds. His feet are 1872 inches in
length, and he wears q No. q shoe. He
wears a No. hat and his head is not
swollen a bit. lie is in perfect health and
eats more than a 1,500-pound OK. When
ever he wants a drink of water he takes
q gallon pail and drains every drop from
it. He has been known to eat a common
basketful of grapes and ask for more. Re
Gently he ate twenty-three large apples
for dessert at dinner.
He is good of shape, and except for his
hight, does not look abnormally large.

IS years of age lifted LOO pounds. In a
test the other day he spanned with one
hand 1874 inches His intellectual devel-
opment is normal. He has a surprisingly
good head for mechanics. He can take a
clock or watch 10 pieces, repair and clean,
and put it together perfectly again A
short time ago he made a violin upon

from the New YORK sun.
Elizabeth, n j., Jan. 6.-Joe Windley, a
painter, was assaulted on Tuesday night
in the wagon shop where he works. He
had returned after the usual hours to look
after some particular work. AS soon as
he entered the shop man leaped at him
from behind wagon and began to beat
him with the spoke of a wheel. Windley
has passed the prime of life and was un-
able to beat off his assailant. who rained
blows on his head with the heavy spoke.
The Old man was quickly beaten to the
floor.
AS he fell he clutched for something to
break his fall and grasped his assailants
right hand. He gave it a good squeeze,
There was just enough light in the shop
for him to see the form of his assailant
before he became unconscious When he
regained consciousness. Windley dragged
himself into the Office and telephoned to
police headquarters. From the description
given by Windley the police arrested Eu-
gene Stauffer at his home on Cameron
place on suspicion of being the assailant.
Windley was taken home and surgeon
was summoned to attend him. His scalp
was badly lacerated and his shoulders We're
bruised, but he was not dangerously hurt.
This morning Stauffer demanded his re-
lease, declaring that he knew nothing of
the assault on Windley When the detec-
tiVes visited the old man they found him
still confined to his bed Windiey repeat
ed the first description he had given of
his assailant and added that he could iden-
tify him by feeling his hand. Detective
McGrall arranged to have half dozen men
at Windleys home about noon. Among
the six was Stauffer. Windley was blind
folded and Obliged to cover his head with
the bedciothes. Only his right hand was
uncovered The cd man did not know that
Stauffer was among those upon whom the
experiment was to be tried. The men were
admitted to the bedroom one at a time.
AS he grasped each mans hand he felt it
carefully, evidently taking note of each
joint and apparently searching for scars
and Irregularities.
Four men had been examined in this
manner without result. AS the fifth mans
hand grasped his Windley gave a start.
He examined this hand with greater care
than the others after his fingers touched
scar on the index finger. Weak as he
was Windley grasped the hand with
powerful grip, threw off the bed coverings
and tore the bandage from his eyes, eX
claiming THAT is the man. I know 1T
is He had hold of Stauffers hand.
Police Justice Hetield took Windeys de-
position, charging Stauffer with attempt
ing to kill him. Windley explained to the
police that he was positive in his identi-
hcaton because of a certain scar on the
index finger Of his assailant's hand. Stauff-
er was taken back to police headquarters
| and held under bail to await the result
| of Windley's injuries. The prisoner says
Windley is mistaken in his identification,
and that he can easily prove an aliOi

YOUNG LooTER's ATTACK.

On Friday afternoon three boys were
coming up Douglas avenue from the east
They were hardly over eight, the eldest.
When they got in front OF Weinshank's
grocery store they broke ranks. They had
been marching three abreast. Without a
word they got into Indian fife and also
sided close 10 the store. On stands were
apples. peaches and other fruits IN bask-
cts. None of these baskets were covered
with anything stronger than mosquito bar
and some OF them had been broken
This happened 20 be the case with the
basket on the extreme end. The first boy
TO pass looked into the door and saw
tina: all were busy inside When he came
10 the last basket on the raised platform
he quickly but quietly let his left hand
slip into Jhe basket and when Il came out
there was fine yellow apple sticking to
his fingers. The second boy repeated the
performances and followed his predeces-
sor. The last saw the work Of mis- two
companions and intended 70 do likewise
and furthermore did it. He slid UP close
to the apple baskets and giving a quick
look inside TO see If any one there was
looking. let MS hand down into the bask-

THE MET AGAIN.

Colonel r. #. Bean was one day last
week relating old war experiences, and
told Of a peculiar meeting after over a
quarter of a century. One day during the
war he was ordered by his superior officer
to capture the tents OF the enemy after a
severe battle at point in Tennessee. He
gave the order to his command, remem-
bering afterward the very words he used
TO the men That was in 1854. A year or
50 ago he happened to be in a little vii
lage in Kentucky late at night, and a
stormy disagreeable night it was. The
clerk Of the hotel and he got to talking
TO kill time, and the conversation turned
10 war times. The hotel clerk related an
incident of the war which occurred when
he was only boy of u years OF age.
He said he then lived close to the battle
field. and after the fight Of the van
quished he along with a number of other
boys went out to the scene of the strug-
gle. The most he could recall of the af-
fair was a certain young officer giving
orders 70 his men 10 capture the tents
OF the defeated and flying host. He used
the exact words. which Conole3 Bean re-
membered using on that eventful day. and
q comparison Of notes revealed that he
was the officer. the boy, now the same
hotel clerk, had gazed upon in awe and
trembling. The two men shock hands
very cordially, and it seemed like old-time
acquaintance long separated. Fully thirty
years had elapsed between the two Incl
dents.

The following was received from H. r.
Farnum yesterday: Ny Dear Colonel
You doubtless will be surprised to learn
that Mr.. II. ". Kendle. who moved 70
this city something over a year ago. has
the names and addresses Of $40 Wichita
voters, living IN the two Kansas Cities.
This would mean over 1903 a a small
estimate Mr.. Kendle, approaching the
fact that thede Is no class of people on
the globe more loyal to each other than
Wichita people. he has, with assistance
OF some Of the Wichita people. arranged
for a Wichita day for the Wichita colony.
Notices will be published in the city pa
pers inviting all the Wichita people 90
set aside next Tuesday and 10 meet at
Troost Park for a grand Wichita picnic.
Bugle call will sound about nine or ten
o'clock in the morning. We are all enter
ing into this most heartily. as It viii

Would you kindly make note OF the

Kansas city on Tuesday. a most cordial
invitation to Join Us at Troost Park, and
they needn't bring a basket with them.

bicycles are used for pleasure they GER
