WILL ARRIVE AUG. |
Dealers Order Full Car of
Ammunition From Chicago.
FOR THE LOCAL TRADE
Furnished by Hibbard, Spen-
GER BARTLETT Loaded Shells.

Sporting goods dealers of this city have
arranged for a carload of ammunition 10
5e shipped here for the fall trade. the
ammunition will be furnished by Hib-
bard, Spencer & Bartlett Of Chicago. It
is expected that the car will arrive In
the city about the first Of August After
it arrives the ammunition viii be divided
among the local dealers. The car will be
filed principally with shells already load
so with different sizes Of shot, and as
Wichita gun men prefer factory loaded
shells it is desired to have large num-
Der of these shells on hand before the
shooting season opens UP. There Will be
a large number Of empty shells IN the
car and these will probably be loaded by
the dealers after they come in. Some
sportsmen, however, prefer to load their
own shells and for these men certain
grade Of shells are usually bought To-
gether with the shells there will be some
powder and shot in cases and sacks. The
shot will vary in size and the powder will
probably be the sr1fokeless. as that seems
to be the most preferred by the sporting
men of the city.
It is thought that most Of the amnuni-
ton viii be used by Wichita sportsmen.
Many of them go out of town several
times during the hunting season for sew
eral days and on these trips use much
ammunition. However, a part Of the car
load Of ammunition will be used for the
trade in the small towns surrounding
Wichita
Wichita has quite a reputation among
sportsmen because of her enthusiastic
gun club. This club has many members
and the majority of those who belong are
good shots. Several Of them have won
honors in other places. In the home
shoots the contests have been very close
and it would be safe 70 say that no town
in the state has such club with as many
enthusiastic members.
Many fine guns are owned in Wichita,
and their owners take pride in them.
Nothing but the best of ammunition is
used and this is always secured from re-
liable dealers.
This is probably the first time in the
history of Wichita that ammunition has
been ordered in carload lots and it will
mark a new departure among sporting
goods men. It IS claimed by hunters who
have kept posted on the situation that
the outlook for fall shooting is very good.
The quail are coming on rapidly and from
all indications there will be many OF
them.

SNAKE-KlLLlNG TIME
Three Serpents Meet Their Death on
Water Street

Two snakes and one snakelet were kill
ed within three blocks Of the city build
ing Sunday. and 1t can be testified to
that there wasn't a saloon open in the
town during the day. Curiously enough,
the killing was on Water street, within
a few rods Of Dewey avenue. One Of the
snakes was a blue racer, the other a
spreading viper and the snakelet was a
young chap just Matched out, looking for
all the world like 1--we shoe string. He
was of the garter variety.
A woman was going down Water street
about O'Clock, and when she got to
point in front of Uncle Henry Browns
she jumped a few feet higher than the
fence and screamed a scream that could
have been heard at the Lawrence Avenue
bridge.
"A snake, a snake" said a man, and
fifty kids ran heller SHELTER, shouting:
"a snake! A snaket' The timid women
of the bolck ran to a point of vantage
and huddled together while their hus-
bands took after the snake.
No blue racer ever lived that had such
a run for his life He slid down the fine
cement sidewalk on the west side of
Water. until rock from the heavy hands
of a man was shattered in front of his
nose. He considered it ample time TO re-
treat, but another rock on the sidewalk
made him change his mind. He acted like
baseball player between bases and
finally raised I'D his head and jumped
the fence into Uncle Henry Browns
orchard. There he was met by another
man who was onto his curves who gave
him blow on the back. This stunned
him and the heavy heel Of another man
mashed his head. The ufeless remains
were born TO the middle of the road
where all the kids gathered to look at
him.
At the house formerly occupied by Her
man Tatelghorst, a man and a black cat
were sitting on the porch. The man saw
the cats eyes bulge out. Get away"
he said to the cat, but Tom wouldn't
bulge an inch. He simply arched his
back and looked wild. The man then
saw that a spreading viper. had Tom
charmed a well directed clod turned the
white side Of the viper UP. and the spell
being broken, the cat ran up a tree
The third and last-the snakelet-was
killed a short distance away. but didn't
cease wiggling until the sun went down
The children in the neigh0orhood kept
mighty close to their mothers aprons the
remainder of the evening and II they
didn't dream OF snakes all night il is not
because they had reason to.

ing been previously called to meet on
June Is, Mr.. Duval naturally turned 10 It
for advice, It being the most accessible
way Of aseertaining his party sentiment.
and referred Mr.. CanipbeHs letter TO this
committee, pIedging himself personally,
without any reservation whatever, TO ae-
cept its decision as the Will Of his party,
and to abide by the decision. and to act
contrast is this action of Mr. Duyal to-
ward his party as compared with the at
titude of 8ir. Campbell toward his party.
The Democratic committee considered
the matter for several hours, seeking to
ascertain, II possible, what was the
source and whence the demand for Mr..
DuvaPs withdrawal. It had been urged
that the Democrats of Sedgwick, of
Harvey and of Kingman counties were
clamoring for Mr. Duvars withdrawal
from the race for congress. but careful
inquiry upon a roll call OF the counties
comprising the district failed to disclose
the presence of any such sentiment: ever
county in the district, even including
Sedgwick, Kingman and Harvey counties,
voting in the committee meeting that Mr..
Duval ought not accept Mr.. Campbells
proposition. No demand of this kind was
discovered to exist among the ranks of
either Democrats or Populists in any
county in the district; nor was any such
demand evidenced by the action of either
the Populist party or its congressional
committee. but on the contrary it was
evident to the satisfaction of the COM
mittee that Mr.. Dual Is the choice OF
a great majority of the Bryan voters of
the district Every reliable source of
information was called TO its aid, but the
committee could not find the existence of
any demand for Mr. DavaPs withdrawal
from the race for congress, outside of
Mr.. Campbelps letter; hence the commit
tee unanimously advised Mr.. Duval that
its judgment was against the acceptance
Of Mr. Campbells proposition.
In its address to the voters Of the Sew
enth district, the committee announces
that "Mr. Duval will make the congress
sional race as the fusion nominee, asking
for, as he is unquestionably entitled to
receive, the loyal support Of all voters
who believe in the principles laid down
in the national, state and congressional
platforms of the Democratic, Popuhst and
Silver Republican parties.

Chairman Democratic Congressional
Committee, Seventh District

were nisrepresented to when We came
over here, by giving US to understand
that there was no union here. COM
mittee from the local union waited on US
and explained how things were, and ask
ed US if we would not demand the scale
of wages adopted here. While most of
the men are not members of the union
we have union principles and we did not
want to do anything that would tear
down the rights Of others We made the
demand and were refused. and we dis
continued work without further cere-
mony OF course a few brash words
passed between US and gave Mr. Waltz
to understand that we could not be
bluffed but that we wanted the wages
paid >by other contractors in the city"
What inducements were held out to
you by the committee to striker" further
asked the interviewer
There were none whatever" he said.
f'They came to us ike gentlemen and
only spoke what was to their interests.
We don't want TO do anything except
what is right There is not one Of US
that will go back to work unless we are
paid the scale. Of course If Mr. Wallu
wants Us to finish the job we will do It
under the terms of the demand. We will
go back to Jefferson City tomorrow, pro-
viding we can get our money, which is
for one days work, and transportation
which was part of the agreement when
we came over here"
When the Een struck yesterday morn
ing Contractor Wallu was in Hutchinson
arriving home in the afternoon to find
that all of his stonemasons had quit
work. He claims that his men are afrSis
to work and that threats had been made
to declare a sympathy strike if the men
did not accede to their wishes. President
Fitzpatrick and the committee deny that
any such threats were made.
Fearing that trouble would result,
Chief Of Police Cubbon was called upon
TO protect the men working on the exca-
walton, but he refused to interfere with
the controversy as long as there was no
disturbance. Detective Emil Small. spe-
cial agent for the company. was on the
grounds yesterday afternoon.
A meeting of the local unian was held
last Friday evening, and after discussing
the relative positions it was decided to
intercede in the violation of the present
scale Of wages, and a committee was ap-
pointed to wait upon the workmen.

FINE BULL STOLEN
S.sI. Barger Loses Registered Dur
ham RuII Saturday Night.

Mr.. 5. NJ. Barger, who resides about
four miles northwest of town, had full
blooded registered Durham bun stolen
from his place last Saturday night. The
bull was in corral near the barn for the
night with some other cattle. The next
morning when Mr.. Barger went out to
feed his stock he failed to ind the bull
in the lot. After looking through his
fields and inquiring of the neighbors he
came to the conclusion that he had been
stolen. He was in town yesterday and
offered a reward for the arrest Of the
thief and the return Of the buA. The bull
was a very fine one and was priced very
highly by Mr.. Barger. There are no
clues to work on in the case and the Of
