SAVED BY SWEETHEART.
Samuel JamisOn Escaped But Is
Captured at Last.

Deputy United States Marshal E. "A.
Prescott returned today from Pawnee
Rock, in Barton county, where he has
been to arrest Samuel Jamison on the
charge of robbing the United States
mails in the east.
The amount which Jamison is accused
of taking is small, but the story that he
tells in connection with it is quite Pc
culiar.
Jamison. who is not much more a
boy, was assistant postmaster at Bel
Alton, MARYLAND. A letter sent by Miss
Lillian Nalley of Bel Alton, to a Wash
ington firm reached its destination min
us the 81 which it contained when it was
mailed. Complaint was made and the
pOStOffice authorities began an inVeStl-
cation. They came to the conclusion
that Jamison was rObbing the mails,
and move was made to indict him by
a federal jury at Baltimore.
Miss Nalley, who lost the money, was
q friend of JamisOn, and when she dis
covered that he was to be arrested for
the theft she warned him and he dis
appeared.
The federal authorities put the post
office inspectors on his track, and for
several months they have been looking
for him. It was finally discovered that
a Samuel Jameson was getting mail
from Maryland at Pawnee Rock, and
the federal authorities at Baltimore
wrote to United States District Attorney
Lambert to have him arrested and re-
manded to Maryland for trial.
Deputy Marshal Prescott found Jami-
son working as a common hand for a
farmer named Zieber, two miles north
of Pawnee Rock Jamison admitted
that he had been assistant postmaster
at Bel Alton, and that he had run away
from the place, but he denied having
taken any money from the mails. His
explanation of his flight is that Miss
Nalley is his sweetheart, and when she
was called to testify before the grand
jury in the case and found that Jamison
would be indicted for the offense, she
not only warned him of his danger, but
also gave him the money with which to
come to Kansas.
Mr.. Prescott says that Jamison had
told the people in the community where
he was working that he was with SchleY
in the battle of Santiago Bay, and that
he had been all over Cuba. He even
gave a detailed description of all the
battIeships. He never went to Pawnee
Rock or any other town except when
it was absolutely necessary.
Jamison is now in Jail at Wichita.
where he will be given a preliminary
hearing before being taken back to
| Maryland.

NO GOLD THERE

only chance poor man has is to work

easily taken on a basis of 80 per cent
Lane says a miner can not afford to

Lane secured a number of claims on
Ophir and Melsing creek On one claim
in which he is interested fifty men had

On one other claim, the Dusty Dia-

Dr. KittIeson took out S42 from one

As good a story as any is the finding
of a rich claim on Dexter creek by Leo

on Dutch creek in FL Dorado district.
He then made a trip to Nome and back
and with an old rickety rocker washed
out S23 in two hours time on his claim
on Dexter creek. With a good rocker
he can take out $50 a day and with
sluices $1,000 a day and everything
seems to pay, from the grass roots.
Very Few claims up to the time Lane
left for the outside has been prOspected.
UnprOSpected claims or claims showing
pay dirt from the source down were al

Glacier creek, a tributary of either
Ophir or Melsing, offers have been made
as high as S250 900 for a claim.
On Ophir creeks itself good claims
were reckOned at as high as $780, 900.

TWELVE HOUSES.
Row of Modern Houses Being
Built In Ritchie Tract.

Contracts have just been awarded to
Q. H. HoIcraft for the erection Of a
row of twelve modern houses between
Eleventh and Twelfth streets facing
Kansas avenue.
The houses will each have seven
or eight rooms; will be two stories high
and will cost about 81, 500 each. They
will be built on what is known as the
Ritchie block
Work has already been commenced
and before cold weather, it is expected
that the last of the twelve houses will
be completed. The capitalists who are
behind the improvement are the Bryson
Bros, of Overlook, Usage county.
They are wealthy stock raisers and
farmers and like other enterprising peo-
pie realize that Topeka is and always
will be the best city in Kansas and
offers the safest investment.
The lots upon which the residences
are being built were offered to the city
as a site for the new city hall but it was
thought that the location is too far south
for a public building. 1t is, however, an
admirable location for residences.

at 1850 5c the market declined Irregular
~ to 730131sc. Outside trade was very
light and the market was almost entirely
in the hands of scalpers. The opening
frmness was the result of an advance of
I'D at Liverpool, but receipts of 6ll ears
at Minneapolis and Duluth, compared with
1856 cars last week and GA cars year ago,
more than oVerbalanced all other news.
Chicago received 81 cars, of contract
grade.

with wheat. September started a shade
over yesterday at 341sdAc and declined
slowly to 333sQ34c. Receipts at Chicago

generally favorable and cash demand con-
tinued fair.

INDIANS WANT MONEY.
Members of Pottawatomie Tribe APP
ply For Funds Which Have
Been Diverted.

Kalamazoo. Mich, July 15.-Fifty
members of the tribe of POttawatomie
Indians visited Kalamazoo today in
hopes of obtaining from the govern
ment the money granted them by the
courts and then mispaid or misappro-
priated in distribution.
In the early nineties they were grant
ed $166, 900 for a title to the land which
they still held near Niles, Mondan and
Schoolcraft. Charles Cadman of Jack
SON. brother-in-laW of ex-President
Cleveland, at that time took a census
of the tribe prior to the distribution of
the money. Many of the descendants
of the original tribe were not included
ir the census. Soon after Cadman
committed suicide, and despite an order
to that effect the census has never again
been retaken and payment was made
on the basis of the census.
Tt was alleged that agents of the gov
eminent profited by the deal. The tes-
timony of several claimants, with pay
rolls and other documents, will be Of
fered in evidence to be taken before the
court of claims in Washington. When
the money was appropriated the Indians
were on the land held as q. reservation
and on the payroll of the government
as reservation Indians.

APPEALS ARE VAIN.
Mrs Rich Will Be surrended to Mexi-

Washington, July 15.-Mrs. Rich is to
be surrendered to the Mexican author
tiles to be tried for the murder of her
husband
For days past kilograms and letters
have been coming to the president and
to Secretary Hay, some almost hysteri-
cal in the strength of their protest
against the extradition of the woman. It
has been represented that she is insane;
that there are impending physical OBJ
stacles that she is innocent of the crime
charged against her and finally that it
would be an act of barbarism to place
an American woman at the mercy of
Mexican law and officialism.
All of these considerations have been
weighed and it has been decided that
unless Mrs. Rich is surrendered there
can be no hope of securing the surren-
der to our officers of the many Mexican
border thieves and criminals who plum
der on our side of the line and retreat
into Mexico, so the precedent will be

DEFIANCE OF COURT.
In Case of Walla Tonka Execution to
Be Punished.

Kansas City. July 15-A Star spe-
cial from Tulsa, I. t, says:
The execution of Walla Tonka, the
Choctaw Indian, in defiance of a writ
of habeas corpus issued by United
States Judge John r. Thomas, will be
made the direct cause for bringing
those implicated to trial for murder.
Judge Thomas, in an interview last
night, twenty miles west of here where
he is fishing and camping with a party
of friends, stated he would see that
the law in respect to disobeying an or
der from the United States government
is fully investigated and that all the
guilty ones are brought to justice. The
open violation of Judge Thomas order
has created much excitement and it is
predicted it marks the beginning of the
end of conflicting laws in the Indian
Territory. AS a matter of fact all
tribal laws in the territory are of no
effect, yet all the tribes cling to their
old Indian laws and continue to insist
on self government.
At South McAlester. United States
Judge Clayton is quoted as saying
Judge Thomas had no jurisdiction in
the district in which the execution took
place.
