MYSTERYOF ABOTTLE
Curious Note Found Floating
in Ninnescah River
IS TRADEGY OR JOKE
Has All the Evidence of Being
a Genuine Message.

Near Garden PLATA. the west and east
branches Of the Ninnescah rirver meet
Does the place mark tragedy, or has
It been used Cor the preparation OF q
Joke?
The other day C. W. shipley Of that
neighborhood found bobbing around in
an eddy in the river small bottle. It
contained what purported to be farewell
message He showed it to the people in
that vicinity. They were unable to make
out whether it was a joke or an actual
catastrophe. They induced Mr.. s. F.
Yarbeary of No. 10i1 South Water street,
Wichita to take the bottle which Mr..
Shipley had found and bring it to the
Eagle Office, give the matter publicity
and see II something cannot be discov-
cred.
Yesterday Mr.. Yarbeary appeared with
the bottle and the missive 1t contained.
Neither he, the people near the forks of
i the river nor the Eagle are prepared to
say that the thing is not the work of a
joker, and publication is given to the
matter only in the belief that it might
be a Joke.
Mr.. Shipley found the bottle just south
of the forks. When he opened the bet
tie 1t emitted a terribly pungent odor
He extricated the note and found on
common tab paper this, written in lead
pencil:
JOHN FISHER.
''May 2, 'ee.
ITO whoever finds this will know that
i am buried in the sand in the river near
he forks"
The note Is badly stained with the
green material which clings to the inside
OF the bottle, which is small, and the
cork Of which has at some time been
secured with paraffin. The bottle is of the
size and shape used in apothecaries' pre-
scription cases.
Mr.. Yarbeary has three theories.
"Ffrst-That 1t was written by a school
boy and tossed into the river with the
Idea Of exciting curiosity IL It were
found
FSecond-That John Fisher Cand no
John Is known in the neighborhood) com
mitted suicide by taking poison and
drowning himself near this spot and left
this note as farewell.
Thfrd-That man named John Fisbar
IN attempting to cross the Ninnescab az
this point was overcome by the quick
sand and while he was sinking. found
time to write this note and set It afloat
In the stream before he sank from sight"
Mr.. Yarbeary was asked II he did NOT
think this last theory untenable, but he
said not; that the quIcksand was very
deep and treacherous at that spot. and
that man sinking would have time to
write such note.
There is nothing facetious about the
note 1t Is written just as it is given.
with the name Of the writer signed at the
top because there was not room at the
bottom. 1t is very leglble and appears
to have been written on a soft surface
Is 1t the remnant of a tragedy, or q
Joke?

New York. March l5.--The Journal and

letter from Chairman Jones of the Dem
ocrauc national COMMITTEES:
''In view of the fact that tho Demo

give the Chicago platform unanimous
support, i am anxious o know what you
think is likely TO be. the attitude OF the
party in New York on this question I'm
the coming national convention. Ny
own impression is that the feeling IS
overwhelming in the party south and
west in favor of Il practical reaffirmation
OF the Chicago platform. / would be
glad To know what. in your opinion, is
the feeling of the party in your state on
this question. and whether the state
national convention ready To cooperate
with what seems To be the wish of the
majority, or whether Il course similar
10 that pursued in New York in 1896 is
likely 10 be followed in case the Chicago
platform should be practically reaf-
iirmed. | write you on account OF your
prominent connection with the party, and
hope YOU will let me hear from you
promptly on this question"
