Mr.. NJ. L. Thomas, postmaster of Pond

Mr.. Thomas is considered by his friends
to be one of the able leaders Of the party
In western Oklahoma, and he feels very
well satisfied over the situation in the
territory. He says that Governor Barnes
VIII positively not be removed. That
while to the outside world there seems
to be party strife and disintegrating in
iUences at work, in reality it is mostly
the fabrication of Populist newspapers
and comes from the enemy. He says the
Republican party will present solid
front when it comes to vital and neces-
sary action, and that the leaders really
stand together on important questions
MI Thomas declares he is a warm per-
sonal friend of Mr.. Flynn and yet he
asserts without modification that he
thoroughly approves of the official &C
tons Of the governor in all matters. Mr.
Thomas is in favor of a Grant county
man for the receivership OF the land Of
see at Enid. since Garfield county al
ready has the register. He states that
business and commercial affairs all
through the territory are in the best of
condition

In testers First Trial Was
Hung in Barber County.

Hoffman. the Chicago detective, who
has been in the city three days looking
up evidence for the Jester trial was COM
PEELED to stop suddenly on one Of his
trails yesterday, for the man he wanted
was hung in Barber county many years
ago. He came here to try to locate a
man named Browning, who had reduced
to writing all of the evidence taken at
the preliminary trial of Alexander Jester
in this city in 1872. Browning, Hoffman
said. could probably tell him where that
manuscript is and the detective wants it
very badly. Hoffman called at the pro-
bate court office yesterday and made his
desires known to Judge McCan,ess.
"Browning?" said Judge McCanless.
well, if<you want that man, you'll have
to take trip that most men don't like"
''How's that?" said Hoffman, limo
Gently.
'Brownings dead. He was hung for
horsestealing in Barber county twenty
years ago"
AOu OOh say So. CTIeO norman,
evidently chargined that he had been
chasing a phantom.
Yes" said Judge McCanless. "Why,
I knew Browning well He was a bad
man. They had to be pretty tough to get
hung In Barber county"
This information put an end to the de-
tective's work here and he left last night
for other localities in the interest of
Millionaire Gates
The trial Of Jester will be called in a
everything in shape for a pretty good
case, he thinks. He has found out some
valuable information from Judge Sluss,
who represented the state at the prelim-
mary here, and Riggs & Baldwin, Jes-
ter's attorneys at that time, have been
located and pulled" for what they know.
Mr.. ]. E. Dodge who was justice of
the peace at the time of TESTERS pre-
liminary hearing, is understood to be now
in Missouri ready to testify in the case
when 1t comes I'D for trial.
Mrs. Street, the sister who gave Jester
away in a letter to Sheriff Simmons CT
this city, is said to be living better and
easier than she has ever lived before. 1t
is reported that she is still kept at Kan

mons at the trial of her brother should
the necessity require.
Detective Hoffman is thoroughly conf
dent Of a conviction for Jester.

OPTION is EXPIRED
Burdette Contract for Street
Railway Null After Today.
CASH OFFER WITHDRAWN
Deal Will Probably be Closed
Today or Tomorrow.

Allowing three days of grace from Oc-
tober l, the option of J. o. Burdette on
the old Wichita street railway expires
today. An arrangement has been made
with the Batchelder people for the prep
erty If Burdette does not take it, and as
Mr.. Burdette is to be allowed to Withdraw
the 5000 he paid for his option, il is
considered very probable that ne will let
the deal go. Col. Fitch and J. .. David
son are working hard to get the matter
settled and every man and woman in
Wichita prays that they will succeed,
for everybody here knows that when
these two men get their hands on the
property Wichita will have new car
line, and that right away. Already Col
Fitch has completed all preliminary ar
rangements for a new plant machinery
and rolling stock, so that there will not
be days delay in the work when the
deal Is finally closed.
It will be remembered that Burdette
asked 1000 cash for the interest he Sc
cured by a 5000 option, and asked the
return Of the $4,000 forfeit, which would
make a total of $4,000 in reality which
he wanted Mr.. Davidson to pay for the
old plant figure twice its actual worth
Mr.. Davidson refused to give it, as any
business man would. 1t was reported
yesterday that Mr. Burdette had with
drawn his cash demand and would take
besides the return of his forfeit $4,000
bonds Of the new road, but It is not prob
able that his demand Will be acceded to.
Mr.. Davidson and Col. Fitch will be
ready today to make an offer on the
property on a straight business PROPOSE
ton. and It IS hoped that by tomorrow
night the announcement can be made
that they have secured the old lines and
will at once begin work.

WALDOCK LAKE SOLD
Mr.. I. G. Sergeant Will Probably Make
a Fine Resort

Chas. L. Davidson went to Pratt county
last night on some business connected
with the closing up of the deal for the
Waldock ranch. Mr.. Davidson sold the
ranch, including the famous Waldodk
lake, to I. c. Sargent of Galena, Kan,
and it is likely that Mr.. Sargent will i'm
prove the lake and make it one Of the
finest lakes for hunting and fishing in the
state. Mr.. Sargent has got rich in the
mines of the Joplin district, and he Sc
lected the Waldock ranch with a view of
improving it and spending some Of his
wealth in the property. Mr.. Sargent is
said to have liked the property the mo-
ment he laid eyes on 1t and It is thought
that he wanted it principally for its
splendid natural advantages as a fishing
and hunting resort

KNIFE AND REVOLVERS
Mrs. L. II. Mills Says Husband Is Too
Free With Them and WANTS nirorce

Because Mrs. Ella Mills life has been
made miserable and threatened with re-
peated dangers at the hands Of her hus-
band, she has concluded to sever the
marriage ties and go the rest of the way
alone. Yesterday her attorneys. Blake 6.
Ayers, filed her petition in the district
court. They also secured an order from
the court restraining L. r. Mills from
disposing OF or incumbering any OF the
property owned by her, and he is also
ordered to refrain from calling at Mrs.
Mills home or interfering in any manner
with her or her affairs. Mrs Mills lives
at 313 Ohio avenue and owns her prop
erty there.
Mr.. and Mrs. L. r. Mills were married
March IS, 1897, at Hutchinson Mrs. Mills
alleges that her husband is guilty of ex-
IRENE cruelty, in that he has ceased to
care for her and is extremely abusive
and has used obscene, abusive and
threatening language toward her. He has
also drawn forth his armory and pocket
knives and threatened her, she says. On
August Is. 1898, he went home intoxicated,
she says, and drew his revolver and
threatened her life. On October 7, 1898,
while she and Mills were out driving he
chooked and threatened her. On Nov

went home intoxicated, cursed and abus-

AS TO FUTILE LIBRARY
Representatives of the Estate Explain
About the Books.

About the Books.
Mr.. ]. T. Dorsey, James L. Tuttle and
w. B. Throckmorton. resident represen-
tatives of the estate of Gopher Tuttle,
called at the Eagle Office and stated that
they wish to set the public right on the
article published in Sundays issue rela-
tive to a so-ca1led controversy between
said estate and the Sedgwick county lib
rary.
They stated that no legal proceeding
had ever been contemplated. as in fact
there was no controversy between the
estate and the parties in charge of said
library. Some subscribers not acquainted
with the facts had made some state
ments tending to raise a question of
ownership, but at meeting between the
library officers it was conceded by the Of
ficers that the property and books were
bought and paid for by Gopher Tuttle
during his life and were regarded by
them and himself as his property abso-
lutely.
The estate does not seek to take or
stop the library If other responsible
parties wish to step in and take up and
continue the same, but does not care to
maintain or keep up said library. as no
such request, either verbal or written,
was ever made 0y said Gopher futile to
any of his heirs or legal representatives.
However, the said representatives stated
that if satisfactory TO the other heirs of
said estate that they would be willing
under proper conditions, to waive their
unquestio title to faid library, pro-
viding said society would furnish three
reliable men who would take the title
Of said library and see 10 it that it was
properly conducted for the uses as here
tofore. and failing TO so care for and
conduct said library, then the property
to revert to the legal heirs Of z. Tuttle,
rather than be distributed and abandoned
to those who had no legal claim on same.
The estate is not seeking and has never
sought or thought of realizing in a finan-
cial way on said library. but only wishes,
II desirable, to turn same over 10 some
persons authorized TO conduct the same,
as said estate does not wish TO continue
said library

Two barns. poultry house, fodder,

things. the property of Mr.. Alfred j.
Lilliston, Accomec G. H., were
burned last Sunday morning. The
fire started in the barn and was dis
covered about ! O'clock but at that
time had made such Roadway that
nothing could be done TO save it or
it's contents. A fight had to be made,
however, by the so persons or more
who had responded to the alarm to
save other outbuildings and the
dwelling, and it was only after faith
full work by them OF about two hours
before the danger had passed and
they were saved from destruction.
The dwelling would have been de-
stroyed but for the vigilance of those
who had climbed upon the roof
and swept of the sparks which fell
upon it from the burning building
and the help of those below who
kept it saturated with water The
destruction of property would doubt
less have been much greater if there
had been much delay in the time of
the discovery Of the fire. Its origin
is unknown but supposed to be ac-
cidental. Loss about $500. No in-
surance.
