WILL HANG.
All Hope for Franz Broadenax Has
Been Abandon d-9overnor Will
Not Commute the Sentence.

The last ray of hope for Frank Broad
enax, the colored man confined in the
death chamber at the Moundsville PEN
itentiary, awaiting execution for the
brutal murder of an unoffending boy
in Fayette county, disappeared yester-
day. when Governor Atkinson wired
Warden S. A. Hawk that the sentence
must be executed.
Broadenax was sent to the prison
with Shep Caldwell convicted of MUIR
dering his paramour, and both were to
have hanged on the same day. 1t will
be remembered that Broadenax claimed
all along that the shooting of the boy
was accidental, and upon his represen-
tation that if given sufficient time he
could substantiate the fact, Governor
Atkinson granted stay Of execution
for thirty days Caldwell paid the pen
atty for his crime.
A transcript of the evidence in the
case and other relevant matters were
submitted to the Governor, and care
fully examined by him. He found that
Broadenax had failed to substantiate
his story of the killing, and yesterday
he decided that he would not inter-
fere.
The sentence of the law viii there
fore be carried out, and Broadenax will
swing for his crime on Thursday, No
vember 9Th.

ELM GROVE ROBBER|' s.
Bur glars Who Operated Saturday
Night Made a Good Haul.
A SUM OF MONEY AT
FRED. HARTLEIB'S SALOON AND
SECURED MONEY AND OTHER
VALUABLES AT THE CHAMBERS
RESIDENCE-NO CLUE TO THE
IDENTITY OF THE THIEVES.

There appears to be an epidemic OF
burglaries in Wheeling and Ohio coun-
ty at the present time. Following
closely upon last weeks robberies in
this city, came reports of successful
attempts made at Elm Grove some time
Saturday night or Sunday morning. So
far as was reported yesterday, two
houses were entered.
One was the saloon conducted by
Fred. Hartleib, in which the intruders
found SIS in cash drawer, which they
carried away with them, as well as
articles of small value
The Chambers residence was also
entered. Mr.. Sam Chambers returned
from Scio, O., after midnight, and went
into a room which he and his brother
occupy. His brother told him he was
sick, and Sam went into another room.
The brother had $3.50 watch, and 500
in cash in clothing beside his bed, and
it was not disturbed. The thieves
either did not enter his room, or over
looked the valuables mentioned.
In the room occupied by Sam Cham
bers the thieves secured s45 in bills and
three dollars in silver, also a check for
$50, payable to F. H. Taylor and drawn
by Kennedy, Fitzgibbon & Co. Pay
ment upon the check has been stopped.
A black overcoat, with green lining
with yellow stripes, and black velvet
collar, is also missing.
The county and city officials were
notified yesterday of the burglaries, and
are making an investigation, but have
no clue to the identity of the thieves.

teresting to Wichita people, as DR.. Gray,
the principal figure in it, owns property
in Wichita and has been here frequently
in the past.
Wednesday afternoon DR.. E. z. Gray
killed Mrs. Lizzie Skinner on the street,
near the depot, IN plain view Of a large
number Of people. He stabbed her four
times with a large surgical knife, and
she died instantly. He had made threats
that he would kill her. He was watching
for her at the depot. AS she was coming
TO take the train he walked up TO her
and without word murdered her in cold
blood. He Immediately gave himself up
after the killing.
Mrs. Skinner left a former husband on
account of ier infatuation for DR.. Gray,
and he deserted a wife and family for her.
DR.. Gray is about so years old, the son
Of one of the most prominent men of the
county Public feeling is running high.

SITUATION AT NEWTON
On Account of SMALLPOX School May
he Postponed.

TIE following from the Newton Republi-
can shows the smallpox situation at New
ton: The doctors in this city report that
they were rushed yesterday by people
who wished TO be vaceinated. II is es-
timated that several hundred people
were vaccinated yesterday and today.
Several Of the physicians ran out of vac
cine points and were compelled to tele-
CRASH for a fresh supply. While the
people Of this city have manifested but
little worry over the presence Of smallpox
Yet they are wisely taking every precau-
ton to prevent its spread.
The members Of the school board have
been talking over the situation and have
as yet come to no conclusion concerning
the schools. It has been proposed that
each child who enters school next week
shall be required 20 present a certificate
of health from a physician. It has also
been suggested that the opening Of
school be put off one week and that by
that time any cases of infection which
may have occurred will probably develop.
It is not known as yet what viii be done
but the question will probably be de-
cided either tonight or tomorrow. The
school board wishes TO exercise the
greatest care in the matter and viii use
their best judgment.

WILL TAKE It TODAY
Wichita and Western Will be
Absorbed.
SOME INSIDE FACTS
Santa Fe May Decide to
Abandon More of Road.

The Wichita and Western railroad VIII
be taken possession of today by the Santa
Fe railroad and operated under their sys-
tenn. In an interview with a prominent
official who IS acquainted with the inside
information concerning the deal just en-
tered upon by the Santa Fe corporation, it
was limited that more of the present svs-
tenn of the Wichita and Western might be
abandoned and the rails taken up. But,
he added, this has not been fully settled
upon and the time when this move may be
taken has not been determined. There are
other rumors afloat that the road may
finally be abandoned altogether. The his
tory of the corporation is an interesting
one.
The Wichita and Western was originally
constructed by the Santa Fe and San Fran
cisco, pursuant to a contract entered into
between the two companies, which con-
tract was the result of a compromise,
whereby the Frisco agreed to abandon its
purpose of extending two lines west from
Wichita, one line directly west and the
other in a northwesterly direction, for
which bonds had been voted. In other
words, it was a compromise whereby the
Frisco agreed 10 keep out of the Santa
Fe's territory west of Wichita. The con-
tract specified that whenever the territory
west of Wichita demanded a line of rail-
way that the Santa Fe should do the con-
struction work and that the Frisco should
put up half the cost. 1t was started west
with the understanding that it would be
built through TO Dodge City, and that the
Frisco would run its passenger trains
through TO that city, connecting with the
Santa Fe at that point instead of at Burr
ton. 1t was built as an independent line,
under its own corporate name, and was as
such thrown into the hands Of receiver
at the end of the boom. The Rock Islands
line paralleling the Wichita and Western
west Of Pratt. the line was abandoned and
subsequently taken up between Pratt and
MulInviIle.

AT BAR BANQUET
Judge Glenn Recited the Poem, En-
titled '.The HannY XaIIeY,

! At the banquet given by the Wichita bar
! to Governor-elect Stanley, Wednesday
! evening last, Judge a. A. Glenn contrib
uted the following poem, entitled THE
Happy Valley"
Italia's skies are bright and fair,
And soft Italia's balmy air,
And warm her landscapes golden flow,
Along the valley of the Pc:
And rich her dying sunsets gleam
Above old Theirs classic stream;
Her nights, like kingly diadems.
Flash with ten thousand gIitterirgs gems;
And long her glories have been sung,
By poets swift and tuneful tongue,
Until today Italia stands
The paragon of lovely lands.
Here. in the regions Of the West,
Times latest offspring and her best,
Beneath as soft and SUNK skies
Our home the Happy Valley, lies;
Along this vale. a winding stream,
Reflects the mornings earliest beam;
Filings back the suns meridian blaze,
or CLEANS beneath his evening rays,
Until its shining ripples seem,
The current of j molten stream!
Or when the ebon brow Of night
CLOVIS Win a COtCnal OF llSnJ,
From countless glittering stars that shine
Like diamonds in Goldconda's mine
Each star that shines in heavens concave
Is mirrored in the yielding wave,
Its image, fractured by the tide.
\ hundred times seems multiplied,
Until. like phosphOrescent rays.
The rushing stream is all ablaze!
Where snow-capped mountains touch the
Skies
In bubblng springs its sources rise
Down abrupt steeps-through canyons
bold
It's waters flow DER sands Of gold:
A mountain torrent, gathering force,
1t plunges on its headlonE course,
Until, debouching on the plain,
1t pours its flood toward the main;
For fun a hundred leagues. or more,
Through desert wastes on either shore,
With scarce a rock or shrub or tree,
The stream flows on toward the sea,
Until the arid plain is passed
And lovely wales appear at5ast.
And flowers and fields, and pastures green,
With foCks on every side are seen.
At length is onward surrent laves.
The Happy Valley with its waves.
