ing splendid place for an out door
meeting. They deserve much credit
for their enterprise and energy in
making the gathering such success.
e. 0. Scratford, central committee
man for Center township, presided in
his usual graceful manner and intro
duced Professor Nelson who made an
leloquent and telling address.
He made a strong speech compar.
ing the record of President Mckinley
in national affairs with that of Gov
ernor Leedy in state affairs, impress
ing the people Of the Fifth 'istrict
with the importance Of having a con-
gressional candidate to represent
them who is in perfect harmony with
President Mckinley and his admins
tration, urging the people 40 stand by
Mr.. Calderhead. who has all these
qualifications. All who heard Pro-
fessor Nelson received the impression
that he is practical and progressive
and that the people Of Kansas can
safely intrust the educational works
OF our State to his hands. The
Swedish Americans not only in this
county but in this entire section of
the State, will give Professor Nelson
and the entire Republican state ticket
their heartysupport. They gave Mr..
Nelson generous reception yester.
day.
Emil Grosser, who was also to have
spoken, was i'll and unable to be
present. His sickness Is not serious
and he will be out in day or two.
The people Of Enterprise and vicin-
ity are in favor Of prosperity and Re-
publicanism. In their own varied in
dustries, the most extensive in manu-
featuring lines of any town Of its size
in the State, they have seen what Re-
pubicanism and protection mean in
a business way and they propose to
have more Of it. There is a general
feeling that it is a good business
proposition to vote for good times
and not for calamity and the result
will be seen in the rousing Republi-
can majority that will be rolled up
in November.

D. D. Hornaday Says That Rspubli.

D. D. Hornaday is up from En-
poria. He has recently come out
straight for Republicanism and some
Of his old Populist and Democratic
friends here wish they had the nerve
to do so as well. "lt was this way
with me-" he remarked this morning,
al voted for Bryan but ! told the
boys that II the prosperity promised
by Mckinley came ! would be for
him. 1t has all been fulfilled and
more too. They have given good
measure and | will keep my promise.
1t is a business proposition and we
ought to be for a party that makes
prosperity. There is no issue for the
Populists this year. The silver issue
is dead tariff and sound money have
been settled for Republicanism. All
the promises Of Leedy been violated.
! asked the Pop bosses at Topeka the
other day what on earth they expect
ed to talk about this year and they
frankly said they hardly knew. The
Republican ticket will sweep the

HAD A BATTLE,
TRAMPS WEST OF TOWN SHOT
THE MARSHAL.
Murdsrous Attempt That Might
Have Resulted in a Fstality-Nar.
row Escape for ]. B. Favor.

A miniature Spanish war took place
near the Santa Fe crossing west Of
town Monday night about $50. 1t re-
suited in the Spaniards being routed
and the government forces being
wounded but no deaths.
Sheriff Robson and Marshal Favor
were informed that q colored young
lady named Mamie Mcvey intended
going west on the plug against the
desires Of her relatives. She says her
father is in Boulder, Colo, and she
intended going to him. She is aged
about II. As she was not at the de-
pot the officers went out to the cross
ing on the train. She was being
helped aboard and they arrested her
and started back toward town. As
they did so two men fired revolvers
at the train. They were in the ditch
and were probably tramps who had
been put off by the brakemen as
they sought to get aboard. The
marshal went toward them as the
train moved away and demanded
what they were doing. Maybe you
want some Of it, too," was the reply
from the darkness and several shots
we're fired at him. One bullet struck
him on the left forearm, breaking one
Of the bones and as a result he Is suf-
fering considerable pain though the
injury might have been much more
serious. He shot his revolver re.
turning the fire and there was a lively
fusilade for a moment. At the end
the men disappeared and though it is
possible that one Of them was hurt no
trace Of them can be found.
Sheriff Robson had been on the op.
posite or south side of the train and
captured the young lady. As the fir
ing commenced he ran to Favor's as
sistance and when the latter was hurt
took the marshal's revolver and shot
the remaining cartridges at the men
whom he could barely distinguish in
the darkness. About 10 shots we're
fired on both sides. The trainmen
sent a description Of the tramps-
both are about feet 8 inches, one
dark, one light and with sandy nous
tache.
Miss McVey skipped for town when
the firing commenced and is again
with her grandmother who is her
guardian.
Empty shells were found at the cross
ing Of the railroads Tuesday where
they reloaded their weapons.Itis some
what remarkable considering the cir
cumstances that the officers were not
killed, as the tramps were evidently
desperate.
