Mr.. and Mrs. Cashions of Hennessey.
the parents of Roy Cashion, who was
killed at San Juan, called on Colonel
Roosevelt. A map of the battlefield
was produced and the point at which
the young man fell marked. Both Mr..

Roosevelt's eyes also became dfnned.
He was forced to remove his eye
glasses. Roy was a brave boy he
said, "a very brave boy
Another pathetic incident of the re-
union was the presence of Mrs. Captain
Capron, the widow of Captain Allen
NopAO VI tAOcp Il VI bAlC -AOdSH
Mrs. Capron was seated on the plat
form during the delivery of Governor
Roosevelt's address and the greeting
between her and the governor was very
affecting. She carried in her hand the
guidon of the regiment draped in black,
and when the boys of the rough riders
bore to the platform the colors of the
regiment she wept bitterly. Mrs. Cap
ron came to Oklahoma especially to at
tend the reunion of the regiment in
whose affairs her husband bore so val
orous q part.

Rumor That Selee is DESTROYS of Turn
ing the Reins Over to His Captain.

Boston, July At wouldn't be in the
least surprising if Hugh Duffy were to
manage the Boston club of 1901.
Stranger things than that have happen
ed Many are wondering why it is that
the Boston club is paying Duffy a big
salary when he is not playing, and,more
than that, was left at home on the last
trip.
When Duffy was signed this year it
was with the expectation that he would
play regularly. Freeman showed up so
strongly, however, and the club develop
ed such a winning streak with that
player in right and Stahl in left, that 1t
was thought best not to disturb the
team. When the club was losing Duffy
had a bad shoulder and was unable to
play for some time. 1t was insisted that
his brainy qualities were needed to
make the team winner. but it has won
without him in the field. though he has
been on the bench until the present trip.
Duffy, as manager could be in uniform,
coach on. the lines and play if the occa-
sion demanded. and it would not be at
all surprising if this happened He has
the confidence of his employers; he is
sticIzer for discipline, his habits are of
the very best, he is liked by his men,

Representative of National Shippers
Association Returns From the East

Leavenworth, July 4.-George G. Rich
ardson returned Sunday from two
weeks trip through the eastern part of
the United States in the interest of the
National Apple Shippers association
While in the east Richardson visited all
of the New England states, New York.
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, and Indi-
ana, inspecting the apple crop in these
states.
When seen last night he said: Il find
from the prospects in the states which
I visited that we may expect an aver
age apple crop throughout the country
this year. Several of the New England
states will have a good crop. I attended
a meeting of the executive committee of
the apple shippers in Boston and the re-
ports from all over the country for the
coming crop indicate an average crop.
THE convention of the national apple
shippers will be held in Cleveland on
August 1, 2 and g. There are about 300
members of this association who come
from all of the apple growing districts
of the United States and Canada
When asked what effect an average
crop of apples all over the country
would have on the crop in this part of
Kansas, Richardson said: 'If the crop
proves an average crop generally, prices
for apples here will not be exorbitant."

''This pitching game and myself said

game for a local picked nine. I always

bumped against my delivery shut their
eyes and swung regardless, nibbling at
wild pitches and dipping their sticks at
the dOWn-ShOOtS.
This down break of the ball or the
drop, as they call it, was my pet slant,

Carbonate Has a Mystery That
Puzzles the Town.
Unknown Parsonage Persists in
Injuring Mrs. Catren.
NO MOTIVE is KNOWN.
On Two Different Occasions
Nearly Murdered.
Acid Poured ON Her Face and
Kuklux Notes Left.

Carbonate. July 4-Certain incidents
have occurred in Earbondale recently
which are beginning to imbue the minds
of the people here with a sense of mys-
terry and fill the h9aets of a. few with
feelings OF fear.
About O'Clock In the evening of
May 10 Mrs. Maud Catren stepped out
of the back door of her residence and
went to the rear. of the lot Scarcely
had she reached the stable at the rear
of the premises when suddenly a man
sprang from the shadows of the barn
and dealt her a vicious blow on the
side of the head, Telling her to the
ground. An hour later she was found
by her husband, bruised, bleeding and
unconscious, in which latter condition
she remained for several hours
The next morning a heavy crowbar
was found near the spot where Mrs
Catren had fallen, but all attempts to
connect it with an owner proved futile.
The finger of suspicion pointed
toward certain parties, but as nothing
definite was known. the matter was
kept quiet. Mrs. Catren was sick for
several weeks.
Last Saturday afternoon she went to
the store to purchase some goods On
her return home at p. m. she found a
note pinned to her back door, in which
she was threatened with further in
jury of personal character.
About dusk of the same day she went
to the barn to feed a pony, her husband
being up town. When she turned to
leave the stable big hand shot from
behind the stable door and struck her
in the face, knocking her down and rem
dering her senseleSs. When found this
time it was discovered that an attempt
had been made to poison or blind her,
as some kind of liquid of a burning ma
ture had been dashed into her face and
over her dress.
A part of the liquid struck her on the
right temple and ear, burning deep and
painful wounds.
Mrs. Catren is still weak from the re-
suit of her frightful experience. She IS
at a loss to understand why anyone
should pursue her in this manner, as
she has no known enemies. She is the
wife of Joseph Catren, carrier on the
Carbonate rural mail delivery route.
but will be better remembered by many
readers of the Journal as Maud Burch,
the whistler and mimic.

HIS SCHEME DIDN'T WORK.
Kansas City Man Tried to Sell Wolf
Scalps to Woodson Co. Officials.

Yates Center, July 4.-Monday after
noon a young man presented himself at
the county clerks office with a big
bunch of wolf scalps, twenty-six in ALL
on which he attempted to collect
bounty. Had he been successful he
would have made a pretty big haul.
The large number of sca1ps in his pos
session made the commissioners suspi-
cious, and the contradictory stories he
told confirmed the suspicion. He first
claimed that he killed the wolves in
Owl Creek township, but when closely
questioned got pretty badly tangled and
quit the office as quickly as he could
Later in the evening he was arrested
at the Missouri Pacific depot. He gives
his name as w. D. Mcqueen, says he is
We're shipped to him from that place to
work off in the manner attempted. He
had letters in his pockets from his con-
federal ties telling the number sent to
other towns. He is apparently good for
a term in the penitentiary.

MR.. PERKINS WON.
Poor Farm superintendent Refuses to
Be Ousted Without Pay.

Independence, Kas., July AT the
regular monthly meeting Of the county
commissioners yesterday a compromise
was effected with Joshua Perkins
whereby the commissioners agreed to
pay Perkins $3.50 and he agreed to va
cate the county poor farm at once The
commissioners were given a verdict
against Perkins at the last term of the
district court. which was that Perkins
should turn the management of the
poor farm over to the commissioners
and vacate it. Perkins appealed the
case but this compromise will settle all
further dispute in regard to it. Mr. H
A. Waggoner, who was appointed su-
perintendent some time ago, will take
charge of the farm at once. The county
assumes the payment of all debts con-
tracted by Perkins while in charge of
the farm.
