FUNSTON DID NOT SWIM.
Kansas Soldier Writes That He Fer
ried the Marilao River.

Fort Scott, May 13.-The statement
sent out from Manila on the 29th of
March to the effect that Col. Funston
with the Twentieth Kansas regiment
swan the river before Malo1os in the
advance upon that city and captured
eighty prisoners. which announcement
aroused intense enthusiasm for Fun
ston throughout the nation and was one
of his stepping stones to fame, is cor
rected in letter from Second Lieut.
c. E. Warner of Company NJ, which
was received here today. it being the
first descriptive account of the capture
of Malolos yet received from soldier.
Lieut.. Warner was then sergeant ma
jor, acting orderly for Col. Funston,
and had been close upon his heels
throughout the activities. He says:
tOn the 9th we advanced to the Mari
lao river. 1t was found impossible to
dislodge the enemy on the opposite
bank. and finally, under cover of our
fire, Lieut.. Hardy of Company H and
two other men swan the river and re-
turned with a large raft. On this Col
Funston, with one platoon of Company
c, was loaded and ferried to the OPP
pOsite side. When the insurgents heard
the firing in their rear and realized that
they were surrounded, they raised the
white flag and surrendered. Twenty
eight were taken prisoners"
Since writing this letter Sergt. War
ner has been promoted to a second lieu
tenancy upon Funston's recommended
ton. He was wounded at the same
time Funston was shot in the hand.
They are warm friends.

The Engagement of Senator
Mason, of Illinois,
To Deliver the Address to H0r-
ton Graduates,
~
CAUSES A TRAGEDY,
Almost, With Editor Howard
as the Victim.
A Revolver is Drawn-Editor's
Amusing Account.

Horton, May Ex-senator w. E.
Mason of Illinois delivered an address
here last night before the high school
graduates. The house was crowded ana
the speaker given much applause. He
opened by announcing that he was not
there to abuse any one or any party
but that he was there to express ms
views and his honest convictions. he
quoted freely from Abraham Llncoln'
from Daniel Webster and from George
Washington, using them all to sustain
his beliefs and the right for the position
he had taken. He did not refer to
President Mckinley nor to the admins
tration, but spoke always as OF the
American people.
Out of the coming of Senator Mason
a bitter war has sprung up between
superintendent ]. E. Dyche of the city
schools and Editor Bert Howard OF the
Headlight.
against Prof. Dyche securing Senator
Mason because he was an anti-ex-
pansionist and not in accord with Pres
ident McKinley's policy. Superintend-
ent Dyche denied that Mason was Sc
cured to make a political speech.
Editor Howard then proceeded to Sc
vereIy score Prof. Dyche through his
paper.
The last issue of the Headlight best
explains what followed. 1t says:
THE editor of the Headlight has been
a resident of Brown county for nearly
nfteen years during that time ne mas
never had a fight with any man; but
last Thursday afternoon about o'clock
superintendent Dyche, of the public
schools, stuck a revolver in our face
and threatened to shoot if a move was
made. 1t is safe to say that no move
was made; and, for the benefit of those
who have never looked into the business
end of one of these little pi1l-throwers,
the editor is ready to say, with all can
dor, that it is a mighty unpleasant
thing to have pointed your way. 1t
might have gone off, but it didn't, and
there is no one who rejoices over the
fact more than the editor. Prof. Dyche
had hold of the other end Of it, and he
is doubtless ashamed for it. If he isn't
he should be, and the editor is ashamed
also. We did not run. but it was not
because we did not want to do so. Our
exit was shut off, and We had to wait
until the other fellows arm got tired
and he put the pesky thing in his
pocket"

ECHO FROM THE PAST.
Suit Commenced to Set Aside Sale of
Santa Fe-

A suit to set aside the sale of the
Santa Fe and the reorganization of the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway
company has been commenced in the
district court of Shawnee county by
Alfred P. Lasher, of New York, and
may develop a large amount of htga-
ton. The suit is brought through Jet
more & Jetmore, LaShers attorneys.
Mr.. LaSher is the holder of $4,000 in
come bonds of the Atlantic & Pacific,
which were not assumed by the re-
organized company, when the road
passed out of the hands of the re-
ceivers. He claims that the reorganiza-
ton was a plan to freeze OUT some of
the creditors of the road and on this
ground he wants the court to declare
the sale and reorganization fraudulent
and void.
It is claimed that there is upwards
of $1,000, 900 of bonds in the same posi-
ton as those held by Mr.. Lasher, and
the holders of these will probably file
'-interpleaders.' setting forth their
claims in the case In addition to hav-
ing the reorganizat ton declared fraudu-
lent, the court is asked to appoint
receiver to take charge of the surplus
income for the benefit of the creditors

BULLS LONG VOYAGE.
It Crossed the Ocean Three Times In
Order to Reach Portland.

Boston, May 13.-One of the most
Travelled of bulls has just arrived here.
1t is a valuable prize Hereford which
Mr. A. ]. Libby, of Portland, Me, pur-
chased last March at Glasgow, Scotland
and shipped from there to Portland,
Me. When. the ship bearing the bull
arrived at Portland the &c vernment in
spector would not allow the animal to
land because Portland is not a quaran-
tine port. Mr.. Libby begged and
pleaded to be allowed to bring his prize
beast ashore, but the authorities were
memorable and on the vessels return
voyage to Scotland the bull recrossed
the ocean with her.
When the other side was reached the
bull was reshipped on a. vessel bound
for Boston and his lOrdship landed here
today none the worse for his 5000 mile
sea voyage, but he still has ninety days
in quarantine before he can be handed
over to his owner.
