very comprehensive having been COM

research into the scattered documentary
data in regard to these isolated crags of
a prairie land. First a fine map is given
showing springs and water holes passes
through intricate places, gorGes and pos
sible camping places. Then in a separate
chapter is discussed, cold or No Gold"
This chapter treats of the rumors past
and present and the more reliable gov
Next comes a detailed description of the
different mountains with evidence as to
their probable mineral productiveness.
There is also an able paper on the ques-
tion of the opening Of these lands, the
status of the Indians and other subjects

The work IS of course. the first that
was ever issued. It is intensely Interest,"

REDMOND WAS HERE
Murderer of Miss Schumacher
in Wichita Sunday.
BEGGED FOR A MEAL
Called at the Residence of Mr..
ShackIeford on Emporia.

There was considerable excitement Sun
day afternoon over the appearance in
this city of John Redmond, who is wanted
in Kansas City for the murder Of Miss
Schumacher. which was committed there
on the night OF December S
In the afternoon a tramp appeared at
the back door Of the residence Of Mr.. ].
NJ. Shackleford. at 1906 South Emporia-
Mrs. Shackleford answered the knock at
the door and when the man asked for
something TO eat he was invited into the
kitchen. On january one Of the Kansas
City papers had a cut of Redmond and
il fell into the hands of the Shackleford
family. When the tramp took his seat
Mrs. Shackelford thought that there was
u very strong resemblance between the
cut and the man eating at her table. On
a Slight preteXt Mrs. Shackleford went
into the front room where her husband
and son were reading. She told her sus-
picions to Mr.. Shackleford. He came out,
although he had no idea that his wifes
suspicious would prove correct. He was
quite dumfounded when he directed his
SAFE upon the man. He walked back and
his son surveyed the tramp. They then
looked at the cut more closely, after
which all of them came TO the conclusion
that the man was no other than John
Redmond, the murderer.
The son, Mr.. William Shackleford. who
resides at Gl5 North Fourth. started i'm
mediately for the police station 10 notify
the officers. 1t was long walk and an
hour had elapsed before he returned with
a detective The tramp had fed. When
Mr. William Shackleford arrived at the
station he was shown a photograph OF
Redmond whichswas a better likeness Of
the murderer than the newspaper cut. Mr..
Shackleford after scrutinizing it closely
was more convinced than ever that the
tramp was Redmond
It is probable that Redmond thought
that he was recognized as the family
were quite excited and he finished his
meal sooner than he would otherwise
have done. When the officer arrived Red
mond was gone. The whole police force
was notified and the detectives began a
search of all the railroad yards and such
resorts as n man Of such a character
would likely frequent. All of the out
going trains were watched but no trace
Of the man could be found. The fact is,
he probably left town on foot. He has
been seen once since the murder in south
eastern Kansas. It is reported that he
| eschews trains and travels on foot from
one destination to the other. The officers
are of the opinion that he has gone south.
He may be in Wellington, Winfield or
Arkansas City today. IT is probable that
he is trying TO make his way TO Texas.
Mrs. Mary Heiserman, formerly of this
city and now living near Argonia, arrived
! in this city last night over the Santa Fe.
Mrs Heiserman was taken Immediately
TO the Wichita hospital She has been i'll
for some time and comes here for med
| ical treatment.

The Topeka State Journal Saturday
made the charge that on Kansas Day. at
Tone. , q quarrel occurred between Cy-
rus Leland and Judge S. r. Peters of
Newton over the distribution of patron
age in the proposed federal district, the
result OF which was two-fold: First. that
Leland said that he would oppose the di-
vision bill and Peters said he would OPP
pose Leland politically: second. that
Judge Peters Immediately announced his
support of Judge w. E. Stanley of Wich-
tia for the Republican nomination for

Judge Peters yesterday made a state
