A Great Crowd of Toughs Assault a
Police officer There.

'Ticklin' Harper, the tall, angular
colored man, who last night beat his
VIE and pushed her downstairs at his
place across from the Rock Island de-
pot, and afterward resisted arrest, was
fined 500 in police court this morning.
Green Watson, Lish Watson, and n.
with interfering with an officer will be
tried by Police Judge Atchison this aft
ernoon.
1t was about 8:45 o'clock last evening
that Patrolman Frank Hendricks, who
was standing near the depot, heard a
noise as of something falling. and he
next saw woman falling down the
stairs at JOG Kansas avenue, closely
pursued by ''Ticklin" Harper. The wo-
man screamed and ran into the alley.
Patrolman Hendricks ran toward them
and caught Harper in the alley. The
latter fought the officer hercely. He is
a powerful fellow and has been in many
fights with officers. Hendricks used his
club on Harper's head and finally quiz
eted him. He threw him and held him
down until the patrol wagon should ar
rive. "A crowd of Smoky Row toughs
assembled quickly and attacked the Of
fficer. Hendricks defended himself as
best he could. A tall, white man rush
ed in and grabbed the officers club,
taking it away from him. Hendricks
quickly drew his revolver and someone
held his hand. y stone was thrown
which struck Hendricks on the head,
bruising him. By this time other Off
GERS had come to Hendricks assistance,
anu I1etIp per WAS taken 10 ponce station
He fought all the way and at the city
Jail had to be locked in the bull pen"
Later the city physician dressed the
wounds on his head. They were pain
full but not dangerous, being scalp
wounds.
Later in the night the three colored
men were arrested on the charge of in
terfering with an officer The police
say they know who the white man was
who took Hendricks club and held his
revolver and he will be arrested.
Patro1man Hendricks is known as
one of the nervieste men on the force.
He has an excellent record as patrol
man and the wonder is that someone
was not killed in the fight. Fully 50
colored toughs gathered in close to
where he was guarding his prisoner.
Harper pleaded guilty this morning to
disturbing the peace. whereupOn Judge
Atchison imposed the fine which will
keep Harper in jail many DAYS.

HE SQUARES HIMSELF.
Pfnkerton Goes to Washington for
That Purpose.

Washington, June SIN reference to
the repeated assertions that VIM. A
Pinkerton, of Chicago, had been in
Washington to confer with the war and
navy departments, in reference to spies
in this country, it is authoritatively
stated at the treasury department that
Mr.. Pinkerton received no such call as
has been reported. He visited Wash
ington principally for the purpose, it
is said of assuring the various heads of
departments that his agency was not
engaged in working for Spain. The
fact that his people had been employed
to make investigation in connection
with the filibustering expeditions be-
fore the present war broke out and the
necessarily intimate relations that had
existed between the agency and the
Spanish representatives in this country
led to a belief in some directions, that
he had continued in SPANS employ af-
ter hostilitieS began and it was for the
purpose of explaining the exact atti
tude of his agency and Of expressing
his loyalty to the government, it is
said, that Mr.. PinkertOn came to Wash
ingtOn.
The employment of the Pinkertons to
do any work in this connection, it is
said, has never been thought Of mas
much as it's own secret service under
the direction of Mr.. Wilkie is doing eX
cellent work and further that there is
a legal bar to such employment.

NOT MUCH FOR MERRITT.
Aquinaldo Seems to Be Taking Mat
tiers in His Own Hands in the
Philippines

Washington, June S.-The press re-
ports of the fierce fighting that has
been going on in the Philippines, be-
tween the insurgents and the Spaniards
have been read with greatest interest
at the navy department where the Of
ficials realize the very grave nature of
the problem that cOnfrontS Admiral
Dewey. The>naval officers say that the
administrative difficulties with which
Admiral Dewey must contend are in
dicative of what may be expected by
Major General Merritt, when he reaches
the Philippines.
A complete understanding of the
nature of the agreement that exists be-
TWEEN Admiral Dewey and Chief Aguin-
aldo seems to be lacking here, but from
the fact that some of the press reports
state that the insUrgent leader is re
ceiving the surrender of Spanish troops
and has proclaimed himself dictator
pro tempore it is believed that General
Merritt's functions as military COVER
nor will be very limited.

ssCUE" SMITHS ESCAPE.
Dragged in Front of the Blades of a
Cultivator and Not Killed

'Cue" Smith, the 12-year-old son of
A B. Smith, a farmer living two miles
south of Topeka, had narrow escape
from death Tuesday afternoon. He
was thrown between the heels of a
runaway team and the shovels of a
cultivator, and in this position dragged
for almost a quarter of a mile. His
face, limbs and body were horribly
bruised and torn, and it is feared that
he is injured internally.
The boy was riding across his fathers
farm on a cultivator when the team he
was driving took fright and started on
a gallop in the direction of the barn
a quarter of a mile away. A short dis
lance from the place the team started
the pole of the cultivator broke, and the
sudden lurch threw young Smith for
ward behind the heels of the frightened
horses. In falling one foot caught on
the cultiVatOr in such a way as to hold
him between the heels of the team and
the shovels of the cultivator with his
head and body dragging on the ground
The team stopped at the barn, and
the boy was picked up unconscious by
his father. He remained unconscious
for several hours after the accident.
His recovery is believed to be doubt

HARVEST HANDS.
Reduced Rates For Them to Go and
Garner Golden Grain.

A meeting of representatives
of western lines is being held
in Kansas City today to ar
range for reduced rates for harvest
hands into Kansas and Oklahoma.
General Passenger Agent w. J. Black
of the Santa Fe and Assistant General
Passenger Agent E. E. Macleod of the
Rock Island are in attendance.
A rate of at least two cents a mile
will be agreed upon, and it is possible
that the rate made will be one and one
half cents. Reduced rates for harvest
hands have not been in effect since
1892, and a half rate was agreed on that
year.
There is already demand for har-
vest hands in the southern and south
western counties of the state, and the
indications are that there will be a
greater demand in the state than ever
before. The war is partially the reason
for this, as hundreds of the Kansas SOL
diers were men from the farms.
The railroads will look after securing
the men, and expect to bring them into
the state from many of the eastern
states
