Friends Of General Miles say that
General Miles. in addition to his ex-
perienee and ability. has the rank to
meet the commanding officers Of other
troops on the same footing. They even
go so far as to assert that General
Miles reputation would go far toward
causing the commanders Of other COL

result would be a more effective coop

General Miles declines to discuss the
attitude Of the war department upon his

The Trial Of 1arper Zerfoose.

Wednesday last week IN W lntie,d the
preliminary nearing VI the Case OF
the state VS.. Harper ZerfOOse, charged
with the killing of Douglas Z. Cottes,
night operator Of Tie Santa Fe, was
commenced. The first few witnesses
did not give any very material testl-
mOuy, but W. ". Gilbert, proprietor
of the Exchange said that two
ZerfOOse aud his partner, Bert WilbeI
came 10 the hotel 10 the evening OF
April 2, aud engaged room and board
He said they retired shortly after Il
O'Clock ana he heard one Of them al
least, get into bed, The murder, II
will be remembered, was supposed to
have been committed shortly after l.
O'Clock.
Anna Fisher, an emplOye Of the
hotel, stated that on the night 10
question she heard two men come To
the MOTEL from the south, which is the
direction in which the depot is located
and gG up stairs tn bed. This she
thinks was about Ills am.
There was considerable testimony
brought out which is very damaging
TO the case Of ZerfOOse The officers
have some inside evidence which is
also very damaging.
About5 o'clock 10 the Afternoon
quite a sensation was stirred up when
the county attorney ordered the ar
rest of Bert Wilber. WILDER was
partner of Zerfoose and in
the first complaint filed was
charged Jointly with ZerfOose. H.
was not found and the fact that he
was under suspicion was kept out OF
the papers. When Zerfoose was ar.
rested and befure he came to trial he
had subpoena issued for WILDER as a
witness for the defense, Wilber came
to Winfield from Bland, Kan. When
il was shown that he was mixed up in
the deal he was arrested and placed In
Jail. He thought he ,ould give bond,
but when it was fixed at 81, 900 he was
unable to do 50. The case was con-
tinued and in the meantime the
sheriff has gone to Pratt county after
another import ant witness. Zerfoose
is wanted in Bulah, Neb for stealing
a horse, saddle aud bride from a mar
for whom he was working. This
occurred some years ago.
The identity OF the maa killed al
Caldwell still remains MYSTERY as il
was at first believed he was Wilher
The man, however, is still believed t
be one OF the gang.

between cOntending claim owners and
that peace will bepreServed.
From au interview with General
George n. Randall, commander OF
the Federal troops ut Nome in the
Nome Gold Digger" Of June q, the
following excerpt is taken:
"lG is wise TO give the truth TO the
outside, else all kinds Of wild stories
are liable to be sent out about alleged
lawleSSueSS, when 10 does not exist
There Is a Dad element here, il is
true, but the element can be managed
very well. The most serious thing
we have 10 consider is typhoid fever
There are humber OF cases already
aud there is sure to be many more,
The camp must be cleaned up. The
conditions in the rear OF some OF the
saloons is frightful. 1t is a serious
menace to health. l will attend tC
| the cleaning up PROMPTLY"
The general spoke of st. Bernard
hospital being full Of patients, and
said what 10 do with the sick was a
problem. Department Surgeon Ebril
said there would probably be 10 per
cent Of the people attacked, or 1900
cases. There are sixteen patients in
the St. Bernard hospital, two thirds
of whom have the typnoid fever, says
the digger" The fever is inCreas-
ing somewhat, owing to the sleeping
