ARMlSTlCE OF FIVE DAYS
Between the Venezuelan Insurgents
and the GOYernment

Washington, Oct 4-The navy depart
ment today received the following dis
patch from Captain HemDhill, at La
Guayra, commanding the Detroit: De
troit arrived today. Armistice Of five
days, pending conference between insur-
gents and government. Detroit will leave
about October for Puerto Cabello, with
the United States minister. to learn the
result from the government representa-
tive
New York, Oct. A cable dispatch has
been received in this city from Caracas
to the effect that President Andrade has
engaged passage for himself and family
on the Red D line steamer Philadelphia,
which leaves La Guayara on the 10th for
Ponce, Porto Rico, and New York. 1t is
generally believed he will go to Ponce.
If this. dispatch is authentic it means
that President Andrade regards himself
defeated by the insurgents under General
Cipriano Castro and win leave the coun-
try to save himself. Later advices re-
ceived here say that General Castro and
his advance guard are at Elyalle, which
is only three miles from Caracas. Cen
eral Castro, however. has declared
against entering the capital, as a battle
there would entail the loss of the lives
of many disinterested parties. He wishes,
therefore, to engage the government
troops just outside the city. The latter,
however, show no disposition to meet the
rebels in a decisive battle. The revolu-
tionary forces have been augmented by,
the followers of General Jose Manuel
Hernandez, who is now in prison in Car
acas. Thus far the latter have fought
independently of the Castro forces. Cen
eral Samuel Acosta, one of General Her
nandez's leading officers, has been APP
pointed military governor of the state Of
Carabobo, which has fallen into rebel
hands. General Acosta is the person who
killed President Crespo in battle. There
are now said to be nearly 1900 political
prisoners in Caracas. The news Of in
surgent success. it is asserted, has done
injury to the credit of the present gov

JUSTICE ON Stills
Judge AppIing's Court Stands
on a Hedge Fence.
BEN BAILEY SOLD 1T
To Mr.. Wise Who in Turn
Sues Mr.. Bailey.

H. C. Wise had Judge Appling's cour
house up on rollers the other day ant
was moving it away when one of the
township trustees rode by and stopped
him. Mr.. Wise had bought the house Of
Attorney Ben Bailey, and he was so in
dignant to think that Mr.. Bailey would
sell him property belonging to the county
that he came straightway to town and
sued him for sos, alleging, that Mr.. Bal
ley fraudulently secured money from him
by falsely representing that ne was the
owner of the house in which Judge APP
ping holds court. Mr.. Bailey, through
some error on the books, secured the
property by tax deed and on September
q sold it to Mr.. Wise for $75. Mr. Wise
was in the act of moving the house off
the premises yesterday, but as they got it
onto the hedge fence just half way across
the line they had some trouble proceeding
further and J. ". Skinner, township trus-
tee of Wichita township, happened along
He was surprised to see them moving the
house off the premises, justice court and
ALL It belonged to the township, and Mr.
Skinner promptly ordered them to discon-
tinue the work and to put the house back
on its original foundation. He informed
Mr.. Wise that he was moving and defac-
ing public property, and that the house
belonged to the township and was used
for public purposes, such as "a place for
holding elections, meetings of the board
of trustees, and all other purposes per-
tanning to the transaction of the town.
ships affairs. When Mr.. Wise heard this
he was pretty mad. He left Judge APP
pings court house suspended on stills
across the hedge fence and hurried down
town. No satisfactory arrangements could
be made short of the city court and he
employed Attorney Fred Hammers to
bring suit against Mr.. Bailey for sos, $75
for the purchase price and $50 for extra
expense of moving the house and setting
1t back where he got 1t.
In his petition Mr.. Wise alleges that
Mr.. Bailey misrepresented things in the
deal; that Bailey being a lawyer, knew
that he had no right to sell public prop
erty, but by false and malicious represen-
tations induced him to buy the property.
Mr.. Wise thought he was getting
snap. It is a very good one story frame
building situated on the reserve on Hy-
draulic avenue. He could have moved 1t
down town and transformed it into nice
cottage If Mr. Jenkins had not happened
along Just as they were getting 1t over
the line Mr.. Wise might have got away
with it and Judge Appling would have
been compelled to hold his court In
tent or under the branches of the trees.
As the court house now stands, Judge APP
ping will have to hold sessions in the
end that remains on the original lot 1t
is probable that the case will create a
great deal of interest in the city court,
as there has never been just such another
Circumstance as this.

BURTON WILL Be HERE
To Speak at Auditorium To-
morrow Night.
RANKS WITH D0LLIVER
Eloquent Kansan Will Discuss
Expansion.

Tomorrow night at 7:30 the most elo-
quent speaker in Kansas, ]. R. Burton,
will make an address at the Auditorium
under the auspices of the Republican
county central committee The band has
been engaged for the occasion and will
furnish lively music while the crowd
gathers.
Word has been received here that a
number Of people will come from neigh
boring towns to hear the speech. Aside
from Mr. Burton's sound reasoning and
clean cut logic, he is an orator deserving
to be classed with Dolliver of Iowa, Bev
eridge Of Indiana, Lodge Of Massachu-
sets, ingalls, or any or all Of the famous
speakers of the country. He is deliberate,
forceful and pleasing in delivery and his
statements of public issues and his argu-
ments on public questions are given great
prominence by the foremost newspapers
of the country.
The speech he made in the Eighth dis
trict Of Missouri was sent by wire to the
leading paper Of the Mississippi and CEN
trail states.
His speeches are poignant, sometimes
bristling with sarcasm, but always mani
festly fair. His treatment of the ques-
ton Of expansion will be one of the most
interesting and instructive pieces of ora
tory ever heard in Wichita. Every vot-
er in Wichita and the surrounding coun-
Try should hear Burton Every Republi-
can within reach Of Wichita should help
to I'LL the Auditorium.
