VOLUNTEERS WERE RIGHT
But Salvation Army Is FOolIshIy
DEFIANT.

The trouble that had been scheduled for
the police department and the Salvation
Army In regard TO street meetings and
crowds on the corners did not OCCUR last
night. The truth of the matter is that
Mayor Ross and the police department
only took such action as would insure
safety In case OF run by the fire depart
ment or other accident. The Salvation
Army took the matter up and was very
stif and defiant last night They said
they had a right on the streets any where.
and instead OF trying to promote the
safety Of the crowds. whirled up In front
OF the Boston Store last night on Douglas
with an unusually large crowd.
The sympathy of Wichita people is and
always has been with the Volunteers OF
America, the Salvation Army and other
street ministrations, but they have mover
been bling to the fact that during un-
usually enthusiastic services the streets
become congested and in case OF a run
away or fire department run serious acci-
dents might result. Wichita Is noted for
her inerality in this particIllr. 1t was
only az a measure OF prec1ution that
Mayor Ross took any hand. The Volun-
;eers went down on Dougl1s. below ar
ket, and tried to be fair. but the Saliva
ton Army. with consequential defiance,
got where they thought trouble would
most likely occur,

KILLED N 4 QUARREL
Gene Stone Shoots Old Man
SpidelI Five Times.
AT MANCHESTER, OKLA
Tragedy Was the Result Ofan
Old Feud.

Mr. Gone. who travels for Casey &
Garst, came in from the south yesterday
and brought the news Of a tragedy at
Manchester, q small town just across the
line in Oklahoma. Yesterday morning
Gene Stone. a young man. shot and killed
old man Spiden after the two had had a
quarrel over a feud which Is said to have
existed between the two men for some
time. Both men were said to have been
drinking some. After the quarrel was
thought to have been over, Stone left
Manchester and went over to the little
town of Cameron, in Kansas, and pur-
chased a revolver. He crossed the state
line again to Manchester, and meeting old
mag SpideII In the street, opened fire,
taking the revolver in both hands N a
very awkward manner. He fired four or
five shots, the last one hitting Spldell
just above the eye and going entirely
through his head. Spidell fell and died
instantly.
The shooting did not create much ex-
element. After Spidell fell dead in the
streets his murderer walked cody around
his body and talked with the witnesses of
the tragedy with the utmost indifference.
He discussed cody with them whether to
go to the sheriff and give himself up or
wait until the sheriff should come after
him. He had no desire to escape. The
sentiment of the people seemed to have
been with Stone, for the reason, 1t is
said. that Mr.. Spidell was a very dan
gerous and quarrelsome man, especially
when he was drinking. He and Stone
had had trouble several times. but Stone
always seemed to have tried TO avoid
trouble heretofore, as he Is considered a
very peaceable young man. After the
quarrel yesterday, however, he is alleged
to have said that he would not put up
with Spidell's abuse any longer, and went
and got gun and shot him.
One Of the young Spidelrs said yester-
day that II the law did not avenge his
murder he would kill Stone the
first time he got chance. and 1t is
thought there will be serious trouble
should Stone be able to get out on bail.
Old man Spidell Is said to have once
lived In this city and Is thought to be the
same man who was shot in the railroad
yards q few years ago for attempting to
steal coal from the cars.

SHORT MARTIAL EXPERIENCE
Ed LItchfleId Is sued for Divorce AZ
fer Five Months

Edna Litchfeld filed a petition tor d.
vorce from her husband. Sherman Itch
field, yesterday. She came up from Texas
the otleSr day in search OF her husband.
IN the hope OF winning him back. She
sought the aid of the police to make lin
provide for her, but the police told ncr
they had no authority. Mrs. Litchfield
says she and her husband were MAJ ried
about five months ago, and soon after
this he advised her to make visit to
relatives in Texas. When she got there
she said he wrote her not to return, as he
would not provide for nor live with her
any more. Finding that all other means
were a failure she commenced divorce
and alimony proceedings In the court yes

ACCUSED. OF PERJURY
Mrs. Vanatta May Have to
Face a Crime.
GOT ORDER FOR ALIMONY
Man Sued Says He Is Not Her
Husband at all.

r. n. vanatta was filled with wrath
when he read OF the proceedings for ALI
mony begun against him by Lulu Van
alta, and afterwards had papers served
on him In accordance with the order Of
Judge Dale. compelling him to pay s.
every Saturday to his wife and baby. Mr..
Vanatta says the woman is not his wife
at all, and never has been. He therefore
engaged Judge Haymaker to defend him
and will fight the case. He accuses his
alleged wife Of committing fraud and
willful perjury IN order to obtain the
order from Judge Dale He virtually
alleges that he Is the father Of her child
but claims that the matter was fixed up
In a justice court last winter and the
woman has no further claim upon him.
This looks to be true, for the court rec
ords bear him out In his allegations, and
seem to place Lulu Carbon in a very Pc
culiar and unenvious position. The dis
trict court records show that Vanatta
has never been divorced from his wife,
zepha A Vanatts, whom he sued for d.
Vorce June IS, 1897, and it is not likely
that he would have married again with
out securing that divorce.
1t is said that the woman who Is now
mixed up in this suit has been very
anxious to marry Vanatta, but could not
do so, even If he had been willing, on
account Of the other marriage. She is
said to have frequently called at the dis
trict clerks office to see whether or not

Haymaker. filed a motion yesterday, to
set aside the order compelling him to
pay alimony. The motion is as follows:
Comes now the defendant, r. NJ. Va
malta, and moves the court to vacate,
set aside and hold for naught the order
made by him on the 21st day OF July,
1899. for the following reasons:
First, The said plaintiff Is not now,
and never has been, the wife OF said de-
PENDANT.
Second. The said order was obtained
by fraud, Misrepresentation and willful
perjury Of the said plaintiff.
Third, The said plaintiff brought bast-
ardy proceedings against the defendant
under the name of Lulu Carbon for the
support and maintenance OF the said
child before E E. Enoch, Justice OF the
peace, and caused this defendant to be
arrested. alleging In her complaint that
she was an unmarried woman, and that
thereafter this defendant went into said
court and made settlement OF said pro-
ceedings and was released from court"

IS TAKEN TO SIOUX FALLS
John McCnrty Will Spend Five Yenrs
in the Penitenitary for
CounterfeitinE.

Deputy United States Marshals Allen and
Homan went to Sioux Falls last night TAX
ing with them John McCarty, recently con-
victed of counterfeitlng and sentenced to a
term Of five years in the United States penf-
tentiaTy. To avoid any possibility of escape,
McCarty was handcuffed and shackled. he
having boasted that he would never be
placed inside the walls of prison.
The imprisonment of McCarty wipes out
the gang OF counterfeiters whose headquar-
ters were in the vicinity of Bellevue for sew,
eral years. TIE capture of McCarty and his
subsequent conviction was brought about by
Secret Service Agent Donnela, who set a
trap into which the man fell. Numerous
efforts had been made to capture him, but
they all failed. Finally man was brought
here from the west and sent down TO Belle
vue. He represented that he was a criminal
who had served time for passing bad money,
and after a few visits at the McCarty home
was taken into full fellowship He was
allowed to assist in procuring the material
for making the money. He helped to make
the stuff and eventually was allowed to
pass it. Finally he turned McCarty over to
the officers and the conviction followed.
