SELMA
The Chief of Police Middle Refuses to
Down

Selma, May 17.-(Special.)- 1.-THE matter Of
the election of a chief of police for Selma
is in a peculiar muddle, and the solution
does not yet appear.
The officer is elected by the city council
and that body, composed of ten members,
stands five for Dawson and five for any
body to defeat Dawson. The five anti
Dawson men are willing to bring the tie
up to the mayor for settlement between
Dawson and B. F. Toler, it being under
stood that the personal relations between
Toler and Mayor Mcleod being such that
he would vote for him in preference. 10
Dawson, but at the same time the political
relations between Dawson and Mcleod are
such that it places the mayor in delicate
position, to say the least.
At the meeting of the council held Mon
day afternoon by q tie vote, the mayor
settling it, a resolution was adopted re-
questing the city democratic executive
committee to order primary election to
vote upon who shall fill the Office This
was considered a ten-strike for the Daw-
son men, but today the city executive
committee met and by a vote of to A
refused to order a primary, adopting a
resolution saying that it did not lie in their
province so to do.
So the matter is Clipped back to the city
council and the end is yet to be seen.

ENORMOUS LAND OWNER
Was Wilson Waddingham, Who Died
in New York


in New York o
Kansas City, Mo-, May H.-Wilson Wad-
bingham, who died suddenly in New York
yesterday, was one of the boldest specula-
tors in Kansas City during its boom of
fourteen years ago. He was associated
with G. F. Winter of this city in several
of the leargest real estate deals ever made
here. Together they bought the Goodrich
tract of so acres, paying S75O,OOO in cash
therefor, the Gates tract of 40 acres for
$500 900 cash, a part of the Winter park and
scores of smaller pieces of property. All
were finally sold at enormous profits.
The claim that Mr.. Waddingham was the
largest individual land owner in the United
States Is, according to Mr. Winter, well
founded. In New Mexico alone he owned
nearly two million acres of land. He was
also interested in various land grants in
Colorado bringing his land possessions
alone far up into the millions of acres.
