Hutchinson, Aug 24-This town had
more excitement Tuesday night than it
could well care for. The trouble arose
over a disagreement between the
Hatch boys and their brother-in-law.
The latter wanted to close the Hatch
house up until Emeline Hatch, who
owns the place, returned from Colora-
do. VIII Hatch, commonly known as
Bum said the house should not be
locked up. Finding one of the doors
locked he attacked it with a coupling

sort of war dance around the building.
The house is a short distance south of
the Rock Island track and a large
crowd witnessed the performance from
the depot.
Parker took his Winchester and clip
ped a few bricks from the chimney top
to see that the gun was in shooting or
der. In a short time the two brothers
had broken the doors down and cleaned
the windows out, sash and all. Parker
made one trip up Main street and
bought a fresh supply of cartridges.
The police hesitated about closing in
on the Matches while they were bonn
harding the house. The latter were
armed only with revolvers while Par
ker Hatch had a Winchester and his
brother a shotgun. Parker Hatch is
known as the best shot in town and the
general opinion of Bum is that he
would take a great degree Of pride in
shooting a man if he had a good op-
portunity. The police returned up town
and secured Winchesters. In the mean
time a warrant had been issued for the
arrest of. the Hatch brothers.

had started to drive to Parker's place

They made no resistance and were at

PRAIRIE BAND ALLOWANCE
Old Indian Claims Are at Last Being
Paid

After nineteen years the United States
court of claims has got around to allow
claims that were filed by members of
the Prairie band of Pottawatomie In
dams against the government for de-
predatiOnS committed by other Indians
on their property. During those nine
teen years many of the parties who
originally filed the claims, have died
and the money will now go to their
heirs.
Three applications have been made
in the probate court during the past
week to have administrators appointed
to distribute the money among the
heirs of the different estates to which
damages have been awarded. The mat
ter will be taken up by Judge Dolman
on his return from Colorado.
The first of these applications was
filed by c. H. Ogee, for an administra-
tor for the estate off Louis H. Ogee
who died in 1880, soon after he filed his
claim. The estate has been allowed
$731.25. G. A. Laframboise, of Silver
Lake, has made application for an ad
ministratOr for the estate of John S.
Young, his wife's father. This estate
has 5000 coming to it. Mrs. Ellen
Cook and Madden Nadeau want an ad-
ministrator appointed for the estate of
Louis VieuX, which has $615 coming to
it.
At the time these claims were filed
the parties making them were members
of the Prairie band of Pottawatomfe
Indians. The estates have had admins
traitors and have been settled years
ago, but it is necessary for new ones
to be appointed before the government
will pay over the money.
1t is said that there are quite a num-
Der more such claims pending at Wash
iu2tOn .

JARRED EUROPE.
Failure of a Russian Millionaire
Railroad Operator.

London, Aug 24.-The Leader today
publishes dispatch from its St. Pet
ersburg correspondent, saying that the
suspension of NJ. Vonderweiss. a mill
ionaire of that city, has produced a de-
pressing effect on the bourse and in
financial circles.
His capital was estimated to have
been between fifty and sixty million
rOubles, but after his debts are paid,
he will scarcely have six million rOubles
left. His fortune was largely sunk in
group of undertakings, each one sup
porting the other. He regarded one
of the most important system of
railroads in Russia as his own, and he
was connected with this road and with a
number of steamers plying on the Vol
ga and the Caspian sea, a machine fac
tory, an insurance company, a cement
factory and a number of smaller con-
Germs.
1t is thought the failure is likely to
ruin many other big houses, including
that of a Moscow capitalist named
Mamautou who has suspended for a.
900 900 roubles.

THE aKLoNDIKE" HARVEST.
Payment of Old Soldiers Pensions Is
Now Going On.

Leavenworth, Kan, Aug. PA. w.
Gleed, president of the State Temper
ance union, was over from Topeka yes
terday attending to some legal bust
ness before the United States court, and
incidentally he made an investiG 1tiOn
into the IawIess condition Of the Klon-
dixie. While here Mr.. Gleed talked
with a number of Leavenworth people
about the KlOndike dives and he found
the sentiment to be strong for suppress
ing every low joint in the place.
A correspondent asked Mr.. Gleed for
his views on the situation and what
would be done towards wiping it out.
Mr.. Gleed replied briefly as follows:
Il am thoroughly satisfied that the
governor and attorney general will
close the KIondil1e if it takes the re-
moval of the sheriff and county attor-
ney of LeavenwOrth county to do it and
if it takes the entire state militia.
I have been surprised at the amount
of indignation expressed to me by all
classes of people. prOhibitionists and
anti-prohibitionists, throughout the
state over the Klondike condition, and
the governor and attorney general
know what has got to be done to pre-
vent violence and mob law.
The quarterly payment of pension
money commenced at the Soldiers home
yesterday afternoon and it will be fin
ished by Friday evening. In all over
$780, will be paid to the veterans at
the home. Considerable of the large
pay veterans out on furlOugh. More
are away on furlough this time of the
year than at any other, and also be-
cause the old men have no trouble in
getting work this summer. About $70-
600 in cash will be paid veterans at the
home, and quite a large amount of this
viii be taken by the Klondike joint
