SHOT TO SCARE BOYS.
Fort Scott Boy Did Not Know He
Wounded Melon Thieves.

Fort Scott, Sept. 8.-AIbert jerks, the
young man who was shot in the back
and badly wounded by Albert Umstead
the farmer boy who was protecting his
watermelon patch from vandals, is get
ting along nicely and DR.. Mcdonald.
the attending physician says he will
completely recover 1t is understood
that Umstead will not be prosecuted,
although Mrs. jerks will be given
complaint if she so desires. Umstead
is patient and is trying to effect a
compromise.
It has developed that Umpstead did
not know that his shot took effect until
the Monday evening after the shooting
when he was informed by a neighbor,
J. P. Hubbart, who went to Umstead's
farm and found him hoeing as if moth
ing had happened. He showed no un-
easiness at all regarding his victims
condition and this, Mr.. Hubbart thought
strange, as young Umpstead is a man
of much sympathy. Mr.. Hubbart then
called him aside and asked him if he
did not know that jerks was in a preca-
rious condition and liable to die. A
feeling of regret passed over Umstead
and he gave utterance to great surprise,
saying that he did not even know that
the shot took effect and that he only
shot to scare the boys. He and his
father straightway went to jerks
home and learned the particulars.

MOTHER SECURES CHILD.
Wichita Children's Home Loses an
Important Suit.

Wichita, Sept. 8.-The habeas corpus
proceedings brought by Mrs. Hank Hell
serman to secure possession of her lit
tie girl whom she gave to the Children's
home some years go resulted yesterday
in Mrs. Heiserman getting the child.
Mrs. Heiserman who was then Mrs
Phillips, gave her little girl over to the
Children'S home. She had secured a
divorce from Phillips because she said
he failed to support her. She signed
the papers as Mrs. J. F. Dean, but said
yesterday in her testimony before
Judge Dale that she didn't know Whv
she did this. She said she was alone
and couldn't take care of the girl then
She married Mr. Heiserman some
months ago and having a good home
wanted her child. The authorities at
the home had found a place for the girl
in Reno county. S. B. Amidon, Mrs
Heiserman's attorney, in his argument
maintained that the object of the or
phan home was to secure homes for the
children brought there. The family in
which the little girl had been placed
in Reno county had three girls smaller
than she was and there was always
trouble and in view of the fact that
nothing had been proven against the
character of Mrs. Heiserman he thought
it was the duty of the court to give her
the child. Judge Dale recited the facts
in the case and decided that Mrs. Heis-
erman was entitled to the keeping of
the child.

NEW JAPANESE MINISTER.
Will Come to Washington as the Re-
suit of the Recent Election.

Washington, Sept. s.-Toru Hoshi, the
japanese minister, has been elected to
the Japanese parliament and will retire
from the post at Washington The
present indications are that his success
sor will be Mr.. Hatoyama, a leading
member of Count Okuma's party, a
prominent lawyer of Toxic and a man
well versed in American affairs, being a
graduate of Yale. Mr.. Hoshi left
Washington several weeks ago on a
leave of absence, in order to take part
in the parliamentary elections, his pur-
pose being to return this fall. He had
been mentioned for a cabinet portfolio,
and it was thought he might take the
minister of justice or of foreign affairs.
His election removes him to the leg
islatiVe field. The appointment of his
successor here, is attracting much in
terest in Japan owing to the interest
Japan takes in the determination of the
Philippine question. Mr.. Hatoyama is
well qualified for the post here, owing
to his familiarity with the language and
his long residence in the United States.

Fort Scott Immunes Sent There to
Care for Sick Stranger.


Fort Scott, Sept. 8.-Pawnee, a little
is the scene of a genuine smallpox
scare, and the officers and people are
doing all possible to prevent the spread
of the disease.
The case was reported to Sheriff
Wheeler by DR.. Caryell, of Cato. Sc
curing DR.. Aikman, Sheriff Wheeler at
once drove to Pawnee.
They found that the person who had
brought the disease to Bourbon county,
was tramp who had just arrived with
companion from Fort Smith, Ark,
where he had been exposed to small
pOx. The fellow was in a box car and
was very sick.
DR.. Aikman ordered his removal from
the car but it was some time before
ceive the patient.
He was finally taken to a vacant
house some distance from the town and
upon instructions from Sheriff Wheeler,
Deputy Sheriff Bales, last night sent
T. O. Gould and Dick Parmenter to
Pawnee to nurse and attend the sick
man. Both Gould and Parmenter are
immunes, having had the disease.
The companion of the sick man who
was fully exposed succeeded in making
his escape and could not be found after
Sheriff Wheeler arrived.

the case is genuine smallpox and the
officers and physicians are doing all
possible to prevent the spread of the
disease. If any more cases develop
Pawnee will be quarantined and no
communication allowed with the infect
ed village. The scare is the all i'm
portant subject for discussion at Paw
