Becker Lynohed.

The last act in the tragedy Of the kill
ing Of Miss Myrtle Hoffmeister near
G reat Bend, was played Monday night
when Becker, her murderer was hanged
by a mob. The story of Becker's crime
is we'll known and 1t is useless to re-
peat it, further than to say 1t was
the result OF unrequited love.
Becker was taken to Great Bend
Monday morning for the purpose of ar
guing motion for change of venue
by his attorney, Judge Martin of this
city, and an attorney employed by the
two brothers of the deceased from Mar
ion, Illinois. The motion was granted
but before the judge had given his de-
cision, it was noised around that mob
was collecting to hang the prisoner
Sheriff Amber, therefore, decided to try
to get him away on the five O'Clock
train. The prisoner was taken from
the jail and driven to near the depot
AS he was brought from the jail, farm
wagon loaded full of men standing,
drove along beside the buggy. At the
depot it was evident he couli not board
the train so he drove down the track
at furious pace and about three miles
out tagged the train. Again the sher-
if was headed off, for several of the
mob had boarded the train aud would
not let him on. The sheriff then started

praIse For Ilutohlnson,

Under the headlines "Praise for
Hutchinson, Visitors Still Talking of
the Entertainment Furnished at
Hutchinson" the Topeka Capital fur =
nishes the following:
"People are not yet done talking Of
the Hutchinson convention, and espec
tally of the manner in which the peo-
Of that town entertained the hundreds
OF delegates and visitors. Despite the
rush and hustle always attending an
event of that sort, the people of Hutch
inson went quietly to work and took
care of the throng just as though they
were in the habit of doing 30 every
day." Considering the fact that To-
peka was rival for the convention and
bitterly disappointed, 1t is quite gen
erous compliment.

Hurrah for Kansas.

A small skirmish that was not with

store last Friday between, the proprie-
tor w. M. Craig, and Mr.. Dockerty
who has been one Of his chief clerks

quit. From what we can gather 1t ap-

heather must be mighty good and re-
spectful. AS consequence, he has
bumped up against rebellion and
trouble at many corners Mr. Dock
erty went into the store to settle some
matter and the "boss" started to show
him out. When outside the door the
battle began, in which victory was
coming with the M an from the West.
However they were parted before much
damage was done and the only visible
effects of battle were few rose tinted

The San Francisco call., 1898-05-14

Dorst, after making sure that the expected insurgents were not in the vicinity, decided to re-embark
 Darkness was falling and it was unsafe to leave such a small number of men on shore, for at night the gunboats could do nothing. Three Cuban scouts were mounted and sent inland to meet the insurgents and to make an appointment for another at tempt to-day. They rode along the beach under cover of the underbrush for mile, and then took the path for the interior. When they had gone our soldiers returned on board the Gussie.
 Our only casualties were sundry duckings from which the men suf- fered little inconvenience, and slight scratch to civilian with the party. While the engagement was going on the Spaniards fired repeat edly at the vessels lying near shore One bullet struck the pilothouse of the Dewey and others whizzed mer- rily close by. The Gussie was struck several times, but no one was in- jured.

Small Army Ex- pected to Hold

NEW YORK, May 1s.-The
 Herald's Washington corre- spondent telegraphs: Many off,
 cers in both the army and navy ! have expressed themselves as l very much opposed to the pro-
 ! posed plan of ding an army
 of only 12,O0O men to the Philip
 ] pines. Ad: ,-ral Dewey, in his
 dispatch to the Navy Depart
 ment, has intimated that 1t { would take large and efficient
 army of men to establish and
 preserve order among both
 Spaniards and insurgents in and around rianila- The troops that
 the administratio have desig-
 { mated for the Philippi: are on the whole unorgani-ed and
 { wholly unfit to hold the respon- sible position to which they have been ordered. The expedition. as 1t now stands, will consist of a force of 1000 men. It is planned
 not to send the remainder of the 12.O00 troops concentrated at San { Francisco to tle Philippines for ! Gt least two months. The bulk of actual work will thus fall to
 { the lot of this first detachment. The entire population of the
