NOT APARDON DAY.
Friends of Willie Sell Thought Cover
nor in Wrong Mood.

Representatives of Willie Sell ap-
peared at the Office of Governor Stanley
this forenoon and heard the governor
refuse several applications for pardons.
Presumably, anticipating that this was
not a good day for pardons those rep
not presented.
There is not the slightest prospect for
a pardon for Sell. He has written the
governor a letter denying that he seeks
a conditional pardon. He wants an
absolute pardon and expresses that idea
by saying in the letter to the governor:
Il should positively resent any and all
Misrepresentation that we were petit
tioning for clemency. Our plea is for
the undoing of the injustice which I am
suffering by the exercise of that execu
tive power which the law of our state
vests in the governor"
Sell then explains that ne has made
an earnest effort to apprehend the real
murderer Of his family, and suggests
that recently discovered evidence indi-
Gates that he is innocent.

r. e. Vansant Seriously Wound
ed by Mark Phillips.
Two Men Were Looking For
Chicken Thieves.
BOTH CALLED "HALT.'' -
Phillips Fired and the Bullet
Struck Vansant.
Condition of Wounded Man is
Serious.

r. E. Vansant, who lives at 300 Green
street, Oakland, was mistaken for a
chicken thief early Sunday morning and
was shot by Mark Phillips.
Vansant is lying at the Santa Fe hos
pital with a bullet wound through his
face from side to side and in a serious
condition. The physicians say that it
is impossible to say what the result of
the wound will be. Nansant is clerk
in the office of c. NJ Atwood, auditor
of passenger receipts of the Santa Fe
and a member of the Republican county
central committee.
Vansant and Phillips are in the
chicken business together in Oakland
and live near each other. They have
been troubled for some time with
chicken thieves and determined to
watch for the marauders. Late Sunday
night Frank Jordan reported to Vansant
and Phillips that he had seen a suspic-
iOuS character in the neighbOrhood of
their chicken coops.
Vansant and Phillips armed themselves
the supposed chicken thieves. They
watched the coops for a while
and about three o'clock in the
morning determined to make a wide
one was lOafng in the neighborhOod.
They went through the grape arbor
together and separated. Phillips went
around one side of the orchard and
walked in toward the same point.
Vansant saw a man approaching in
the darkness.
Halt shouted Vansant
He supposed the man was the chicken
thief. 1t was Phillips.
Phillips thought Vansant was the
chicken thief calling to him to stop.
Phillips raised his revolver and fired
when Vansant called to him to halt.
The bullet entered Vansant'S right
cheek and lodged in his left cheek. He
was removed to the Santa Fe hospital
and the bullet removed and the wound
dressed. Vansant is resting as comfort
ably could be expected and is not
thought to be in any immediate danger
but the physicians say they can not
state what the outcome will be.
Phillips, who did the shooting, was
frantic when he found what he had
done.

HER0ISM OF RUSSIANS.
How They Saved Lives of For
eigners in Tien Tsin.

Indianapolis. Ind, Aug. 2O.-The follow
ing letter was received last night from
Mrs. Charles DENLY, jr., dated Tfen Tsin.
June 80:
"On the night of June Is, enormous fires
in the native city were started and e
boxers began their attack on the settle
ment; so we were all aroused at O'Clock
and every one who lived in the extra con-
cesSion went either to friends on the Vic
torias road or to the town hall. AS it
to come to her in case of Harm, so we
escaped to the town hall. Ths re were per-
haps one hundred people who remained
in their own homes All the rest were
huddled together in Gordon hall for ten
days.
THE Chinese troops were everywhere.
Two days before the alarm LOO Russian
troops arrived. They saved our lives Had
it not been for them all of US would have
been slaughtered. On that Monday they
fought 5000 Chinese foreign-drilled troops
for twelve hours At one time they
but in the evening the Russians still
maintained their position. How the Rus
SLAMS fought and suffered can not de-
lay in the open, exposed to q terrible ire,
without being able to fight back. The
Chinese were behind trenches SO the Rus
slams could not afford to waste ammuni-
ton.
IAN these days we were waiting and
waiting for reinforcements. We could not
believe the admiralS would lombard the
forts at Taku, plunge into war and
troops. Such. however, was the case. No
one knows where the fault lay. There
were three dreadful days of fighting. But
when the second additional troops were
dispatched from Taku after the arrival of
Jim Watts, the brave Russian rider. they
were able with such a reinforcement to
work their way through. Thus they all
arrived on Saturday morning and we Were
saved.

AN INGALLS, INCIDENT.

The following is taken from the Fort
Scott Tribune:
While here attending a picnic at Red
field a few years ago, John J. ingalls,
became engaged in a discussion of the
wisdom of Providence and in connec-
tion Herewith he related a most un-
usual incident in his life of which the
newspapers that have published pages
and pages about him have never
heard
Mr.. Ingalls, was riding in from Red
field on the train with Rev. Durboraw,
then pastor of the First M. r. church,
and number of well known Fort
Scott men. A prominent young woman
who had lived an active Christian life
and been blessing to others had just
died in Fort Scott and a little company
in which Mr. Ingalls, and Rev. Dur
boraw sat was wondering how it could
be figured out that Providence had act
ed wisely in taking her away in the
midst of her good work.
Senator Ingalls, told of a bright little
boy in Atchison, who while playing
ball in front of his home, had fallen
under a street car and been mangled.
He couldn't understand why, if God
had decreed the child'S death, He had
willed to have so mangled the remains
This talk suggested to Mr. ingalls, re-
markable incident of which he had
never before told. Recently, he said, he
had received a letter purposting to
dead quite a year. The letter was ad-
dressed in heaven and told how happy
the friend was there. Mr.. ingalls, knew
the friends handwriting and especially
his signature, as well as he knew his
own, and the handwriting and sigma
ture of this letter were identical to his
He could not conceive of such perfect
counterfeit The letter went on at
some length and finally predicted Mr.
Ingalls, death at a certain time and
place. Now of course" said Mr.. In
gals, II don't believe there is anything
in it, but 1 will confess that under such
apparently supernatural circumstances
I will await with some anxiety the ar
rival of the predicted date of my death
I always confide everything to my wife.
but you may believe I have never told
her of that letter"
He did not state what time and place
were given in the letter and since his
death those who heard his story have
curiosity to know how nearly the pro-
phecV was fulfilled.

many critics who claim that this gifted

following:
Authors who ascend to fame like the

RODGERS KNOCKED DOWN.
Stepped Outside His Bakery and is
Felled to the Ground.

Last night as c. E. Rogers, the

wood for starting a fire in the oven, he
was struck on the head by an unknown

fore he regained his senses. A deep
cash was cut in the had, but the wound
is not serious and he is at work today.
Mr.. Rodgers has no idea who his as
sailant was nor why the assault was
person nor from the bakery. He did not
consider the affair of sufficient impor-

has been made to find who made the at
tack. The bakery is only a short dis

prompt report might have led to some
