FAILED TO REPORT.
Dick Chipman Has Not Compiled
With Conditions of Parole.

Dick Chapman of Topeka is one of the
prisoners paroled from the penitentiary
by Governor Stanley. One of the condi-
tions Of the pardon was that Chapman
should report monthly to the governor
explaining what he was doing and how
he was getting on. Chapman has been
out several weeks but has not made
report.
Tne governor has written him a let
ter in which the report is asked for. Mr..
Stanley. also says. in the letter that if
Mr.. Chipman violates the terms OF the
contract he can not expect to retain
his liberty.

He WOULD TELL.
Convict Promises Revelation on Con-
dition He Is Released.

Oscar w. Bane of Crawford county,
who is now in the penitentiary, has
written to the governor offering to fur
nish evidence of the innocence of Willie
Sell, provided the governor will pardon
Bane.
Just how a Crawford county man
knows more about a. NeOshO county
crime than the officers is somewhat
myStifying to the governor and Bane
story is not credited Bane says he will
not speak without being given his lib
erty.
Justice does not usually follow this
groove but the anxiety which Bane
manifests in his desire to get out of the
penitentiary before telling what he
claims to know indicates that his story
is a fake.
Sell is serving a life sentence for the
murder of his parents, sister and
brother.

An EXCITING CRIMINAL TRIAL
Death Of Judge Gardiner.

Judge G.. w. Gardiner was buried on
Monday by the q A. R., of which body
he Was member. He fell asleep from
an attack of the grip on Sunday and
passed away peacefully, ripe in years and
honors. The judge was born in Genes
SEQ county, n Y, aud WAS nearly 50
years old at the time OF his death. He
Was Judge Of the district court in Kansas
for several years, and came within one
vote as democrat OF being elected to
the supreme bench On one occasion
IN that state. He was the populist nom
iuee for supreme Judge OF Washington
six years ago last tall.
For several years the Judge was city
justice, and in that capacity was noted
for his justice and integrity. His great
heart ever beat for the suffering and OPP
pressed, and he died as he had lived,
without an enemy. Tie received pen
sion of $50 per month, which was ample
for himself and wife, they owning their
own home. The funeral services were
simple and short at the home OF his
widow. Mrs. Sharilow and Miss Minnie
Sherwood, assisted by Messrs. Dudley
and Kpso. rendered suitable sacred mu-
sic, and Captain Kin gsbury, an old friend
of the deceased, delivered touching
and eloquent address. The pail bearers
we're Messrs. Walter Reed, McCaiferty,
Stevens, Scott, Bissell and Schwartz,
veterans Of the g. A. K. The house and
grounds were crowded with mourning
friends. Many believed the services
would be held in the Presbyterian church,
snd called there only to be disappointed.
Judge Gardiner lived decade longer
than the allotted span Of life, and died
sincerely mourned and honored.

The New Tre.snrer's BOND.

Mayor Fechter called special meeting
OF the city council last Thursday after
noon at the office of Clerk D1ust for the
purpose of taking action on the bond of
the new treasurer, Janeck. All members
OF the council were present except kerk.
Mr.. Jsneck's bond vas presented with
the following named securities; VIM.
ii. Redman and wife. 81 900; \. L. Lar
sen and wife, s. 300; G. +. Wilcox ard
wife, 81 800; Mrs. JaneCk, $4,000; total,
10000. Councilman SCHNEIDER and
Hough objected to the approval of the
bond, as they thought as a matter Of a
precedent that ought to be established
now, that the new treasurer should give
Il bond with some reliable Guarantee or
Surety Company-whose business it is to
furnish officials with bonds, and is al
ways m ore satisfactory than bond ex-
ecuted with private individual as Sc
curity, although the one presented by
Mr.. Janeck appears to be an exception
ally good one. The other members of
the council, however, seemed to be of a
different opinion, as upon roll call on a
motion to accept the bond offered, Coun-
cilmen Dudley, Poole, Wilgus and An
derson voted aye, and SCHNEIDER and
Hough no.

An Exciting Trial.

Henry Goetjen was tried last Saturday
before U. S. Commissioner Hewlett for
selling liquor to Indians. He was de-
Tended by Col. Miller, assisted by d. L..
Crowder. During the morning session
Mr.. Ctowder and Deputy U. S. Marshal
Dilley got into a wordy dispute which
came to blows. Mr.. Dilley stated to the
court he was satisfied that some OF the
witnesses for the defense had been tam
pered with, to which remark Mr.. Crow
der replied, "If anybody charges me with
fixing or bribing witnesses he is blank
ETY., blank liar"
Mr.. Dilley then struck Mr.. Crowder
who arose to his feet and was proceeding
to retaliate when the combatants were
separated. Mr.. Crowder retired from
the case and Col. Miller then took charge
of the defense. The Indians swore posi-
lively that the defendant had sold liquor,
while as many witnesses for the defend.
ant set up the defense that it was not
whisky but water that was sold. The
commissioner held the defendant Tor the
L. s. grand jury, in default of 5000 bail.
Marshal DiiIay subsequently conveyed
the prisoner before Federal Judge Han
lord, at Tacoma.
