Desperado oes slay3 Marshal.

Lexington, KY, July "a fierce bait
tie between Deputy United States Mar
shall j. Howard Wilson and William
lStamper on one side and Upton Day
and man named Bush on the other
occurred yesterday afternoon at Mari
ba, in Menefee counsy. Marshal Wil-
son had gone to Mariba to arrest Day.
who was wanted at Cumberland Gap
on the charge of highway robbery and
murder.
Day was found at Bush's home and
when the mission of the officers became
known he began firing. Wilson and
Stamper were taken by surprise, but
lretreating, defended themselves until
Wilson fell dead. Stamper continued
the fire and both Bush and Day were
| wounded.
4 Day is thought to be mortally wounds
i ed. He is desperate character, but
the officers believed they could take
\ him by surprise and that his arrest
would be accomplished without trouble.
4 Wilson was one of the most daring
officers in the mountain section of the
state and was much feared by tbs
moonshiners in Magotfin and Menefee
counties. Stamper is constable il
Montgomery county and had discov-
cred the Whereabouts Of Day and had
asked Wilson to assist him in making
the arrest.
1t cannot be learned what has be-
come of Stamper, but his friends be-
Slieve he will remain in the vicinity
watching the condition OF the wounded
man before returning to Mount Ster-
iing. The country is a wild, mountain.
GUS one, and fears for his safety from
the neighbors Of Bush are expressed.

K. .. FOOTBALL COACH.
Yost, Kennedy and Outland Are Being
Considered For 1901.

Lawrence, Dec. 25-The question at
Kansas university now is who will
coach the football team next year.
1t will not be Boynton. That was a
certainty long before the end of the sea-
son. He was a decided failure from the
start and there were no Jayhawk tears
shed when he took his departure. A
couple of weeks ago Johnny Outland
was in favor and seemed to have a clear
running, but during the past week
Coach Yost's name has been up for con
sideration and it is understood that it is
simply a matter of whether Kansas will
pay his price. If his terms are accepted
then the Jayhawlxers win be developed
next year under the famous '99 coach.
Bert Kennedy has many followers and
is well liked. His name will be duly
considered by the athletic board. be-
fore a decision is reached. Yost is the
popular favoTite among the student
body and his engagement would be well
received.
With Tucker back X. u. expects TO
have a good team next fall, but of late
there have been rumors af1oat that
Tuck may coach next year and others
say that if he does attend the university
he will not play football

The Big Lake In Barton County
Reality at Last.
Water Has Been Turned In
From the Arkansas River.
LAND OWNERS RESIST.
Fifty-fiYe Appeals Taken From
Appraisers Awards.
Basin Eight Miles Long, Three
Wide and IL Feet Deep.

Great Bend, Dec. 25-The big artificial
lake in Barton county between this town
and Hoisington is a reality at last. The
water was turned on last Thursday, and
the big basin is now filing up. A KAN
sas City syndicate headed by A. e. SUI
well took charge of the enterprise sew
eraI months ago and decided to push It
The lands in the basin were condemned
and a big bond was put up with the
court to indemnify land owners not sat
isfied with the awards of the appraisers.
So far, 55 appeals have been taken from
the awards to the district court. These
cases will come up at the next term of
court, but their disposition will interfere
in no way with the carrying out of the
project because the bond will more than
cover the damages awarded The dis
trict clerk Of that county tried to block
ade the scheme by refusing to take the
indemnifying bond, but he was man
damused and forced to accept it.
The Arkansas river is fun Of water
now and when employees Of the company
opened the foodgate to the ditch water
started through with a rush. There were
a number of bayous between the river
and the basin, and they had to be filled
first, but that didn't take long, and now
water is running into the basin. A board
of appraisers is now at work condemn
ing the land in the second level. This is
known as the 17-foot level. In order to
cover it, the water must be II feet deep
in the middle of the lake The apprais-
ers will have their work done on the
second level before the first level is lll-
ed.
The basin is eight miles long and three
miles wide, and when filled will be the
largest body Of water in Kansas. 1t viii

GRAHAM COUNTY WATER.
Dave Hanna Denies the Story That
Wells Are Two Miles Deep.

Hill City, Kas., Dec. pa good story
IS told on Dave Hanna, of this place,
in connection with his real estate bust
ness. He has been a hard worker for
Graham county and Hill City during
his thirteen years residence and while
he finds considerable time to ming1e
with the boys in politics, he never let's
an opportunity roll by when he can
sell a. farm.
He was away from home, over in
Missouri, talking for Graham county
lands, having heard of some families in
the town he was visiting who had their
minds firmly set on Graham county
He sat down in real estate Office
IN the Missouri town and told about
the good qualities OF Graham county
lands for some time to several who
were present, when one of them spoke
out: Say, stranger" referring to Mr.
Hanna, II was going through Graham
county several years ago when I met
another man hauling a load of barrels
in his wagon. hailed him and asked
him what he had IN his barrels. The
answer came back promptly, Haul
ing water for my family and stock. >
Asked as to how far he had to haul
water he said about two miles. Why
don't you dig a well2' retorted the in
quisitor, when the fellow who was
hauling the water, with emphasis and
a fierce look, said: TT is nearer to water
this way in Graham county than to dig
a we'll"
Mr.. Hanna was completely taken
back for a moment, but putting on a.
bold front he denied the charge, and
invited them to go with him to his
county and see for themselves.
Since then he has succeeded in get
ting several Missouri families located
on Graham county lands, and they are
contented and happy and making
money.

Santiago de Cuba, Dec 25.-The second
earthquake experienced by this district
within a month occurred at noon today.
The shocks were at first scarcely percept-
BILE. but they increased steadily, and the
last was the most severe known for many
years in this region. 1t would be almost
impossible to injure the massive masonry
of the buildings constituting the principal
portion of the city, but some damage was
q ne In the poor quarters and one child
was badly injured by falling tile. The
people of the city have a deadly fear OF
seismic disturbances owing to the destruc-
ton Of a cathedral long ago. Many of
them now predict an early disaster be-
cause of the TWO earthquakes that have
visited Santiago within thirty days.

Dodge City, Kas., Dec. 25.-Coyote
hunting is becoming a profitable in
dustry in some of the southern coun-
ties and quite number Of the farm
ers are taking a part in this sport
Some catch these animals With traps or
poison, they being coaxed to these by
the smell of old meat or a Growing
rooster in a cage. and some run them
down on horseback and rope them from
the saddle.
one boy was known to take a piece of
old meat, drag it in circle of about
a half a mile and then conceal himself

had been dragged and follow it
until he would find the meat, where

scalp being worth 81 and the hide from
