A Tale Of Rank Ingratitude.
Something like 20 years ago Barney
Bohen killed two Anderson brothers
| at Brookville. He.was sentenced for
life, but his faithful wife worked for
Is years and finally secured for him q
pardon. During these years she regu-
larly sent him money and boxes Of
luxuries to lessen the tedium of his
confinement. But, upon being re-
| leased, BOhan ran away to Montana
without even going to see his faithful
spouse, and for several years she knew
nothing of his whereabouts. By pat
| enting smoke consumer Bohan be-
| came we1l-to-dO, but when his wife
| searched him out and asked for aid
he disowned her and cast her off with
the charge that they never had been
married. But Mrs. Bohan has secured
proofs of her marrige and now she
is proceeding against her husband
with all the fury of a woman scorned.

This Spoils His Candidacy.

ply; solicitor, J. n. Fike; judge court

This IL Wo-'h ..FIguring'' On.
Eldorado is figuring on rebuilding
her burned $4,000 schoolhouse by
borrowing some of Butler county's
surplus sinking fund money now ly-
ing in the bank and drawing two per
cent, at four per cent. Three annual
assessments would pay off the prin-
cipal and interest, whereas $4,000 in
bonds to run 90 years at five per cent.
would reach total of $4,000.
Act of an Unknown Enemy
Early the other morning the resi-
dence of J. C. Fox, of McPike & Fox,
wholesale druggists at Atchison, was
totally destroyed by fire. The struct-
ure was one of the most costly and
beautiful in Kansas. During the past |
month several bricks have been hurled |
through the windows of the house by |
unknown parties and the fire is be-
lieved to be of their doing.
Two Miners SunOcated.
In the Midway coal mines. near |
Pittsburg, William Laws and Thomas |
Oliver met a tragic death. The men |
failed to make their appearance when |
it was time for them to come out, and |
search was instituted. The bodies |
of the men were found close together,
and it is supposed they went back on
a shot and were suffocated by gas.
The Lower Heirs Defeated.
The supreme court handed down |
decision last week which settled the
title to half the townsite of Eldorado.
1t knocks out the claims of the |
Lower heirs, who claimed that their
father was insane when he plated |
and sold ground on which about one
half the city is now located.
