MRS. CASTLE DYING
Forgives Miss Jessie Morrison
for the Deed.
REALIZES DEATH is NEAR
Distributes Treasures Among
Those She Loves.

Wori was received from Ell Dorado last
evening that Mrs. Olin Castle, the young
bride whose throat was cut by Miss
Jessie Morrison, a couple of weeks ago.
was slowly dying and that she would
probably not survive her heroic struggle
Tor life another night The woman made
an ante mortum statement on paper on
July 4th but it was not given out for pub
Acation. In her dying condition she
penned the following note to Miss Nor
r9son:
''The Lord viii forgive you if you ask
HIN. I forgive you
1t could not be learned whether or not
the note was delivered to Miss Morrison
yesterday.
Mrs Castle, al, through her struggle for
life, maintained, that she was not going
10 die but that she would live for her
husband, and the family chung to that
faint hope. However, being unable to
take any nourlshment, she grew weaker
and weaker and her life is wasting away
momentarily. Wednesday she was able
TO take the first nourishment since the
tragedy, which consisted Of a glass of
milk and an egg. This was administered
through d stomach tube. The woman
has displayed wonderful vitality all
through the heroic struggle for existence,
but she realizes now, that the end is near
and has called her friends around her.
She is spending her last few hours i'll hap
piEess and claims that if her time has
come she is willing to die. Wednesday
and yesterday she made disposition of
many of her little treasures and trinkets
to members of her family and her numer-
GUS friends. She is unable TO talk and
the requests were made in writing. The
ending of the young life in so tragic a
planner is sad to even contemplate but
the hapDiest member of the family is
Mrs Castle
The patient passed "a hard night
Wednesday night but rallied some yes
terday morning. As the day advanced,
however she sank rapidly She retains
consciousness remarkably well, but her
life is going away slowly by degrees
The attending physician gave it cut last
night that there was no possible show to
save her life, that the last ray of hope
had vanished and that death was ex-
pected momentarily. Nourishment being
difficult to take, she is starving TO death.
Miss Morrison, who is accused of the
crime is still under 5000 bond on a
charge of assault with intent to kill, but
II is expected that the charge win be al
tered upon the death of Mrs. Castle.

BROKE ALL RECORDS
Street Car Company Handled
400 Passengers on Fourth
1000 WENT TO THE PARK
Had Prepared for 10000
Rain Interfered With Trade.


The street railway company did big
ger business on the Fourth Of July than
on any one day during the life Of the
system, having handled in the neighbor-
hood of 500 people. Had not the bust
ness been cut off by the rain in the
afternoon the gross receipts would
have been much heavier. Manager Mel
son and the clerks in the office finished
auditing the days business yesterday and
found that 400 passengers had been car
tied. Of this number 100 fares were coll
Iected on the park line, which shows
that the people of Wichita know where
to go when they are seeking pleasure.
To a reporter for the Eagle Manager
Nelson said yesterday that he was salts
fed with the days work and that after
the storm came up the receipts exceeded
his anticipation. Had IL not rained,"
continued the street car man, 1--WE would
easily have taken care of 10000 people,
as everybody was making a bee line for
the park. The. storm came up just as
the people were beginning to go out.
Notwithstanding the rain it was rec
ord breaker for business, we having
handled more passengers than any one
day since we have had the line"
Mr.. Nelson regretted very much that
they were short of cars but the next
big day that rolls around the company
will be in a position to better accommo-
date the people. The service furnished
on the Fourth was excellent in every par
ticular, there not being a single COM
plant to the management. The system
used in collecting fares and giving trans
fers is good one and none have cause
for objection.
Manager Nelson will be especially care
full with the park line in handling pas
sengers, as he realizes that the park will
be the center OF attraction during the
summer months On the Fourth cars were
only run to the entrance but it will only
be a short time until the people can be
taken into the park, which will be
convenience not often enjoyed, even in
the larger cities. The comfort of the
patrons of the road will be catered to in
every respect.
Word was received yesterday that two
more new summer cars have been
shipped, and the management expects
them daily. The remaining two will fol-
low later. When all arrive the company
will be fully equipped. The new cars are
strictly up to date and comfortable

Runaways were quite frequent Tor

occurred on Second street early in the
afternoon. one Of Kuechenmeister' rigs
was going west on Second when the horse
became frightened and commenced to run.
Mr. Kuechenmeister was in the wagon at
the time together with two boys. Green
nlumblng wagon was standing near the
Raltinore hotel and the back end OF the
rig was struck by the runaway horse and
turned over After the horse struck
Green's rig, it turned around in the street

RODE With ROOSEVELT
Rough Rider Roosevelt Accommodated
VII Needles on His spec al Train.

VIII Needles on His spec al 4 rain.
Willie Needles, one of the members Of
Sanfords Commercial band, will have
every reason to feel kindly towards Gov
ernor Roosevelt. Will attended the
Rough Riders reunion and played in
the band, and when he went to the de-
pot on the night of the Fourth to come
home he found that his train had gone.
Governor Roosevelt was at the depot and
was about to leave On his special when
he heard of the young Navigating left.
In his usual friendly manner the gallant
Rough Rider went UP to Mr.. Needles
and giving him a slap on the shoulder
that he can feel until this day, he said:
"Wel, don't let that bother you, young
man; come and ride with me-"
To say HAT Mr.. Needles was delighted
would be expressin it mildly. For two
reasons he was ticl1led. One was that he
vas anxious to get home and another
was that he was proud to be the guest
OF the hero OF San Juan Hill and the
vice presidential candidate on the Re-
publican ticket, an honor enjoyed by only
a-few. But Colonel Roosevelt is a friend
of the common people and likes their
company as well as If not better than
the aristocrats of the east.
