More About Mr.. Green.
James L. Green, the Kansas boy
mentioned as having been killed in a
duel in Havana, lived in Labette coun-
ty. His experience as Cuban soldier
has been varied and several times he
has been reported killed. His sister,
Mrs. J. S. Smith, who resides at Che
topa, does not credit the story that he
is dead, having received a letter from
him only few days ago dated at Man
tanzas. The fact that Mr.. Green has
a wife and child living near Oswego
and that he has never secured a divorce
may throw some light on the subject.
