CALL KIDNAPPING.
Charge on Which Indian Burners Are
Convicted.

Muskogee, I. T., May 19.-In the
United States court here, Nelson M.
Jones was found guilty as accessory to
the kidnapping of Lincoln McGeisey
and Palmer Sampson, Seminole Indian
boys who were kidnapped in the In
dian Territory by a mob and after
wards burned to death at the stake
near Maud, Ok
Jones, at the time OF the burning, was
a deputy United States marshal and
had a writ for McGeisey but instead of
arresting and taking him from the
hands of the desperate and infuriated
mob, assisted in the kidnapping, which
resulted in the deaths of the boys. Nc
Geisey and Sampson, it was thought by
the mob, were guilty of the killing of
Mrs. julius Leard, which took place
about a week before the burning.
This is the first of the thirty indict-
ments against different parties charged
with being members of the mob. Other
cases will be taken up at once.
The jury was out three hours before
they reached a verdict.
Judge Thomas, before whom the case
was tried, will sentence Jones some
time during the week. The lowest PEN
atty for kidnapping is three years in
the penitentiary and the highest is
tWenty-one years.

The Salina Journal Republican, says:
\ att was certainly poor politics to coun-
ttermand the engagement of William J.
Bryan to deliver the commencement
address at the Agricultural college. The
Republicans have been complaining of
the extreme partizanship of the Popu-
lists in their management of the state
educational institutions, and now at
the very outset they are guilty of the
same thing. The national reputation
of Bryan as an orator is a sufficient
warranty for his engagement for the
commencement exercises. Should he
step to the plane of partizan politics in
his address, he would be the sufferer
not those who should happen to hear
him The Republicans at the present
gait seem to be doing everything pos
sible to limit their domination in the
state to the Stanley term

FIRE AT NEoszo FALLS
Was Most Destructive Blaze In His
tory of the Town-Loss Will
Exceed $4,000.

Neosho Falls, May 19.-This city was
visited by the most destructive fire in
its history Wednesday night. About
IL 80 o'clock fire was discovered in the
clothing store of Charles Snodgrass. BY
1 o'clock property to the value of $10,-
900 had been destroyed and it was only
by the most heroic efforts of citizens
that the entire block of business houses
was saved. Those sustaining total
losses are: J. w Bidwell, groceries;
Charles Snodgrass, clothing; Neosho
Falls postoffice; DR.. E. D. Jones, and
E. J. Robertson, dentist. Almost the
entire contents of the postoffice were
saved. The Neosho Falls bank sus-
tained a partial loss on contents and a
total on building.
Others sustained small losses by hav-
ing goods damaged in carrying them
out They are: Mrs. Best, millinery;
Turner harness shop; Shockey, bar
Der shop; Weekly, confectionery; Bax-
ter, hardware and implements The
buildings destroyed were among the
best in the city. Losses are partly GOV.
cred by insurance. The origin of the
fire is unknown.

New Bedford Standard: General
Funston thinks the bosses would not let
him have any offices in Kansas if he
should happen to want them. Therein
General Funston shows his ignorance
of the boss. The probability is that he
would have the entire concurrence of
the boss in his aspiration for almost
any office he might choose. With Fun
ston as one candidate, the chances are
that the rest of the ticket could be
made up an any way the bosses chose.
Moreover, though Funston is a, gallant
fighter in the field, and an honor to
American soldiery, it by no means fol-
lows that therefore he would not be
pliable in the hands of astute poll
ticians. Some conspicuous instances of
this have been seen in American poIiti-
cal history, as all students know. Gov
ernor Roosefelt is notable exception,
but he had a training in politics before
he was a soldier.

Archie -McCarter's Claim For
Inhuman Treatment
Against the Republic of Colon
bia Seems Just.
ENTITLED DAMAGES.
Cast in a Dungeon With Dis
eased Prisoners.
Often Suspended by His Ankles
Head Down.

Fort Scott, May ia letter from a
Brooklyn hotel keeper discredits the
story of Archie McCarter of this city
concerning his claim of $3.50 GOO against
the Colombian government and that he
had been confined in a political prison
in the United States of Colombia, but
letters received from him by Fort Scott
friends while he was in prison there,
and a telegram from Washington giving
specific allegations, seem to bear out
McCarter's claims.
McCarter lived here several years. In
1890 he engaged actively in politics in
the interest of Gen. John H. Rice, who
was a candidate for the legislature. He
had no family and lived at the Knox
house. In 1891 he left for South Amer
lea. While he was in prison in Colombia
he wrote to Chief of Police Conway and
to Carl B. Drake of this city. The let
ters We're written on prison stationery
but We're so censored by the commander
of the prison that he could not ask for
aid or tell why he was imprisoned Mr..
Conway has the letter yet.
McCarter, who is a civil engineer,
went to Honda, Colombia, to supervise
the erection of bridges along the FL
Dorado railroad. January, 1896, he
reached the town of Cucuta. There he
was arrested, thrown into prison, and
charged with being a spy in the employ
of the revolutionary factions. McCarter
got word to the American consular
agent, who had him released.
Three times within the next three
days he was again arrested, but each
time was released on demand of the
consular agent. The fifth time McCar-
ter was secretly taken to prison, where
he was chained in a. filthy dungeon and
denied the right to inform the United
States representative where he was.
On two occasions his ankles were
wrapped together and he was suspended
by his feet from a beam in his cell I'M
til unconscious. These inhuman meth
DDS failing to extOrt anything from him,
he was confined in a dungeon inhabited
by prisoners with loathesOme diseases,
left without medical attendance and
given no food other than bread and
water
After months of this cruelty he was
released and ordered to leave Cucuta
within an hour. He made his way down
a river on raft to Venezuela; thence
