The 'Jim" Thompson here men
toned is J. L. Thompson of Earlham,
N. M, who was shown the clipping by
the HERALD'S correspondent and
asked for the truth of the matter and
inform alton.
He says the auecdote is correct in its
major details. The only inaccur.cy
being that "old Uncle Alb" was so
years old and claimed to have killed 40
Indians, needing but one more to make
one Indian for every year he had lived.
Mr.. Thompson volunteered the fur
ther Information that "old Alternately"
was in no wise cured of his lying pro-
pensities by this practical joke and in
fact lost his life five years later by q
lie. The story told your correspond
ent we judge Of sufficient interest to
bear publication.
Ia the spring of 1869 the Comanches
under Chief Dull Knife made their
long to be remembered raid through
western Kansas, numbering settlers
and burning farms and crops. About
this time A bernathy had sold his claim
to an eastern man, and was on his way
to the land Office at Norton Center,
Kansas, to relinquish the same. He
and the purchaser, with the latter's
young son. a lad of IL or Is years, in a
wagon, saw in the distance band of
Indians and paused to consider what
they should do. Alternately said that
the Indians all over Kansas feared him,
and they would obey his slightest wish
through fear of his proves; and so far
prevailed upon the tenderfoot that they
went on to meet the Indians. The boy
in the back part of the wagon in great
fright, said:
Paw, don't you go on! That old
fool is lying to you! They'll kill you
surel''
Seeing that his advice was of no avail
the boy slipped from the wagon and
bid in the weeds while his father, with
A bernathy, drove on to meet their fate.
Their bodies were found a few days lat
err mutilated and scalped. while the
boy escaped.

THE MOST
NOTED LIAR
Of Early Days was Well
Known to a Resident of
EarIham, N. M.
HE KILLED INDIANS
And by Making a False Statement
to Tenderfoot Led Them Both
Into a Trap From Which They
Never ESCAPED.

In Cove and Logan counties there
is at present contest between the
local papers over the rather novel
query as to which county has the big
gest liar, says the Kansas City Journal,
and this reminds US that once upon q
time Cove county had q citizen who
held up his good right hand and made
oath that he believed himself to be
the biggest liar in whom God ever put
the breath of life.
His name was Alternately, and he
was we'll known in the buffalo hunting
days, when he used to come into Blu
ffalo station and sell hides to "Jim"
Thompson. One of his stories was
that he was the man who killed Nor
mon Joe Smith in the massacre at
Nauvoo. ILL.,, and he never came to
the station without telling of one or
more Indians that he had killed DUR
ing the previous weeks hunting.
81 hev got forty-nine of the red dew
lis, and l need only one more to make
fifty he said to Jim" Thompson one
day as he held up for inspection an old
blanket with bullet hole in it in evil
dence of his latest slaughter. Now, it
day Company 1, of the Third cavalry,
which had been out on q scout, rode in
to the station to camp for the night,
and "Jim" Thompson conceived the
idea to have some fun with old man
So he set up a job with
Lieutenant King, the commanding Of
fcer, and sergeant and file arrested
the old man and conveyed him to the
tent.
''Mr. Alternately" said Lieutenant
King, as the frightened old Indian
killer appeared before him, ST have
been sent out by the government to sp-
prehend certain men who have been
slaughtering our wards, the
Indians. I understand that you have
killed forty-nine and need only one to
make it fifty, and now 1 want to know
what you have to say for YOURSELF
"Swar me! swsr mel" shouted the
old man as he fairly quivered with ter
ror. and with due solemnity Lieuten-
ant King administered the oath.
MIR. Officer, Il swar before Gawd tibet
hain't killed no .injuns. 1 said hit,
but 1 am liar, sir, the wust liar We
ever seen in yer bon days. Why, We
Kin take me back to Illinoy and the
null population will swar that no SIGH
lar as old Alternately ever lived be-
ore! 1 swar hit myself, sir, before the
rood Gawd."
Needless to say, Abernathy, the In
liam slayer, was not prosecuted any
urther, but never afterward did he en-
ertain the stations with stories about
lis proves.

First Presbyterian church may well be
classed as leading social event of the
past week. Every day throngs of happy
Christmas shoppers have visited the ga
zaar rooms ard many impromptu lunches
have been given complimentary to young
women present.
The Bazaar closed shortly after IL
o'clock last night. An unusually large
crowd was present during the evening
and the sales were unexpectedly large.
The rooms that had been so complete
with gifts of handiwork were deserted ex-
cept for the jolly crowd that filled the
room. This crowd took away the last
of the articles.
The booths were lastly arranged and
were presided over as follows: Fancy

KENTUCKY

Louisville, KY, November by the
combined efforts of the republicans and
anti-Goebelites Attorney-General w. S.
Taylor, republican, has been elected gov
ernor of Kentucky by majority variously
estimated at from 1000 to $1,000 over Goebel,
democrat Returns received up to midnight
also indicate the election Of the entire re-
publican tickets while the complexion of
the legislature is in doubt.
The weather throughout the state was
perfect, and more than an average vote
was polled, the total falling but little short
of the vote polled in the last presidential
election. Comparatively little disorder pre-
vailed, and aside from several arrests for
alleged violations of election laws, the cleo
ton was characterized by remarkable de-
gree of quietude.
Governor Bradley remained in Louisville
during the day.
Chairman Long, of the republican cam
paign committee, said at midnight that
Tayor's plurality would not be less than
5000. This estimate, he said, was based
upon estimates received from majority of
the counties in the state Governor Brad
ley estimates Taylors plurality at from A.,
900 to $1,000.
At midnight there were still many miss
ing precincts, but ISL out of 2O3 in the city
of Louisville and jefferson county gave
Taylor a plurality of 1852 With all the
returns in and the present ratio of repub-
lican gains maintained, Taylor's majority in
the city will reach 1000.

Manila, November 7.-(4:45 p. m.)-General
Wheatons orders were to land at or near
San Fabian fishing village twenty miles
southeast of Daguapan. The insurgent
force there only numbered about 800 men,
enTenched, whereas Daguapan there are
some thousands of insurgents and five miles
of strong entrenches The mouth of the
river is blockaded. General Wheaton is
supposed to have landed today though COM
munica ton with him is not expected until
tomorrow. The weather has been good
since he started and he has been able to
take the trenches without great loss of life.
From San Fabian General Wheaton can
control the road of escape from Tarlac to

Lawton. General Macarthur will begin his
advance towards Tarlac tonight. General
Lawton will resume his advance tomorrow

MA MASSACHUSETTS,

Boston, Mass. November 1.-THE demo-
Gratis today had no difficulty in carrying
the city of Boston. For the last three
years the city has endorsed the republican
candidate for governor, but this year Rob-
ert Treat Paine, Jr., the democratic nomi-
nee, received a plurality of 6,196 over w.
Murray Crane, republican. Paine's total
vote was 32,592, and Cranes 26,396. Last
year Wolsott, republican, carried the city
by plurality of 1887 over Bruce, democrat.
These figures show loss for Crane from
Wolsott's vote of 7,197 AID a gain for Paine
over Bruce of ia. The decrease in the
Crane vote is partly due to the fact that he
comes from the western part of the state
and did not have the local popularity THAI
Wolcott had. The election passed oft
quietly, comparatively little interest being
taken by the republicans while the demo-
Gratis tried to rally a big plurality to
strengthen themselves for the city election
next month.
Robert Treat Paine. Jr., when asked for
a statement on the result of the election,
said: THE returns are most gratifying,
for the campaign was conducted not as as
appeal for voters, but solely with the idea
of awakening Massachusetts to stand by
her own principles, which for generations
have been neglected"
