The Twentieth Kansas.

Topeka, Kan, July BRIG. Gen.
Fred Funston, acting in the belief that
the Twentieth Kansas regiment has
done its full duty in the Philippines,
has written to state officials in Topeka
asking them to use their influence in
Washington to have the Kansas boys
called home. The general is careful to
avoid any suspicion that the Kansas
troops are complaining. On the con-
trary, he says he is acting solely on
his own motion in approaching the
subject.

When william Luke narrntcd "a.

Mr.. Hall at once communicated with
the police at Mount Glpps, and early
the next morning four troopers and
some black crackers appeared on the
scene,
Nearly two months had elapsed since
the departure OF Dsynes and his wife,

them. That they had murdered Robert

The excitement on the station was
intense, and people locked from all
