Country And Again Made
Good His Loss
BACK TO HIS OLD Home
He Flies, With the Ten
Thousand Dollars Ready
To Pay Back Every
Obligation

PETERSBURG, Va, July GA touch
when Prof. A. M. Hughlett stepped
from the train which brought him 20 the
last of his long journey from the Pacific
Coast, and caught his wife and baby in
his arms. His story has been strange
and sad one.
For ten years Professor HugAlett
had been the principal and business
manager of the Randolph Macon
academy here. He WAS a man OF splen-
did talents, commandipg, tactful, and
full of the magnetic qualities. He
managed the finances of the institution,
questions, accepting the simple word
of Professor 'Rughlett that all was
right.
Five years ago he married Miss Kit
tie Bradbury, the daughter of q rich
and prominent citizen Their union
was happy one. A daug hter, Leland
was born four years ago. She was two
years old when the crash came.
1t was the old, familiar one. The
professor had specula.ed, borrowed
from the funds intrusted to him-lost.
When he fed from the city and the
state there was shortage of $40. 900 In
his accounts. His father-in-lsw, to
avoid disgrace, made up the amount of
his defalcation, and there was no
prosecution.
But Hughlett could not bring hiu :
self to come back until he could make
restitution. He went to the Pacific
slope, and under a new name be began
life over again. He had but q single
object in life-tO earn the money he

had taken and retore it to It's rightful
owner. With this al n in life he work
ed day and night, CO csntrating his
splendid talents On the endeavor, and
in two years, almost to q day, be had
achieved It.. Then, and not until
then, he wrote to his wife:
81 have $40, 600 in bank. Shall 1 send
it or bring it?"
And the reply which went flying
across the continent vas very short,
but it spoke volumes:
"Come back.
BABY LELAND AND MANN a."
Professor Huehlett earned the money
by teaching. He had position in the
Stanford university, gave private les
sons to backward students of means,
and ran a large night class. In the fall
he will 60 to college in Tennessee,
where good position has been offered
him.

W. Fairchild, ON behalf of G. G. Corum
and w. 0. Robinson, two Kansas Cisy
young men, who were arrested at King
man recently for soliciting without a

The legal proposition involved is
that of Interstate commerce, and Is
very similar to the Bergen case a. o.

Corum and Robinson are two agents
of a Kansas City firm. Tkeir business
consists of soliciting orders for house

dictate composed mainly of Kansas
City capitalists have acquired q tract
of land eight miles north of this city
for the purpose of creating q lake for
irrigation purposes. The tract en-
braces q natural basin twelve miles
long and six miles wide. Only one
draw leads out of it., and that is only
25O feet wide. Damming this will

The land in tie basin is worthless

feet wide and fourteen miles long has
been built, connecting the Arkansas

March With Bryan To
the Inevitable
Rear.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July 6-The
nomination of Bryan last evening and
the adoption of q platform making i'm
perislism and trust stbe leading issues
of the campaign, although adopting
specific silver 16 to L resolution, made
things easy for every body this morn
ing, and the crowd at eight O'Clock
began focking to the great hall for the
day.
Little excitement Is expected. The
convention, however, narrowly escaped
u bitter and relentless fight on the
platform. That it did not have it is
due t) skill aui detsuess OF Boss Go
ker of New York. He directed affairs
SO that friction was avoided, and while
proclaiming himself on the side of the
silver men, he worked the resolutions
through SO that they were satisfactory
all around and an open contest wac
avoided.
1t was decided this morning that
Bryan will not come to Kansas City.
the idea of bringing him to address
the convention today having been aban-
doned at his own request and with the
acquiescence of the leaders.
The vice-presidensisl situation is
very much in the air this morning and
NO man can even CUES with any degree
of certainty who will BE- the nominee.
Stevenson and Towne seem to be in the
lead. There will probably be a dozen
names before the convention.
AS early as O'Clock this morning
the streets leading to the convention
hall were thronged by crowds of people
anxious to secure their seats. AS result
when the band struck up its overture
az 10-o'clock the galleries were
already filed.
AS at previous sessions, the ladies
appeared to be in the majority, and
their bright dresses and waving fans
made an animated scene. Especial
interest was manifested in todsy's
session for two reasons. First and
perhaps most important and most in
terestiag to the crowd was the we'll
defined rumor that William Jennings
Bryan would himself be present and
address the convention.
This idea spread and was generally
believed, and of course erybody was
anxious to hear the newly nominated
candidate for the presidency. 1t wac
not until late in the morning that the
news spread among the crowd that
Bryan would positively not be here.
By 10 the galleries swere packed to
overflow and looking up at them
from the floor 1t seemed impossible
for another person to squeeze In. Yet
they kept coming and some way they
managed to fnd standing room or
seats This convention is probably
the only one OF which the expression,
''packed TO the roof" is literally
true.
It was ten minutes to IL when the |
convention was called to order.
When vice-presidentia nominations
were called for directly after the open
ing, Williams of Illinois presented the
name of former Vice Pre- lecl S.vv-c-
son. ''Give US this man." he said, |
land we will sweep Illinois" The
speech was very effective and called |
out wild cheers.

BRUTAL MURDER
OF An Old Man At YSletd.

YsLETA, Tex, July 6.-As tele-
graphed you yesterday, Pablo Rome
70, one of our most respected citizens,
was found murdered In his own home
yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Romero has
been living alone since his wife's
death and has been running grocery
store for years.
Yesterday morning people began to
call at the stor q and up to noon no one
had opened t do Jrs and people began
to think that every thing was not all
right. His nephew, Antonio Apodaca,
who was in Ell Paso returned about
o'clock, and on opening the door found
the dead body of his uncle lying on the
floor.
It appears that Mr. Romero was shot
from the outside, and from the posi-
tion of the body he must have made an
attempt to defend himself, as his body
shows he go: out OF bed and went to-
wards the door where he intended to
make fight, but In this position his
back WAS towards the window from
where he was shot. The bullet enter
ed the back of the head. going cut just
above the left eye.
Sr. Romero was about 90 years old
and was afraid of banks, So it fs said,
and is said to have always carried
from one to five hundred dollars in .
bslt that he always wore next to his
person. 1t Is supposed that he was
murdered by some one well known to
him and who knew of his peculiarisies.
He was the grandfa ther of Mrs. Isaac
Alderete and Mrs. ]. A. E5cajede of Ell
Paso, hose hus bands came here as soon
as they received the sad news. The
rangers are working hard on the case
and have already arrested three men
supposed to know something of the
murder, and are after two more who
they think were directly connected
with it.

RUNNING
WITH BLOOD
Pekin is He'll and the List Of
Victims is Said to Num-
Der Thousands
7IBN 7S|N IN PERIL
And Fears Are Expressed
That UnIss Relief Comes
There Will Be a
Massacre

SHANGHAI, July cit is stated
Boxers in Pekin, besides murde ing
foreig igners, massacred 5000 native Gath
Ollie converts, OF whom 10000 were
known to be in the city.
Chinese refugees confirm the story
of foreigners being tortured In Pekin.
The city is described az an inferno,
and the streets are said to be running
with blood.
Yung Lu, commander OF the ChIr ese
troops in Pekin, who advocated milder
measures, has absolutely bsen etfaced
by Prince Tusn.
The Boxers are said to have storm
ed the British legation and turned it
into shambles. Then according to the
Shanghai correspondents followed
outrage of the women, and the scene
was one of torture.
The only ray of hope is the fact that
the accounts of what has trauspired In
the Chinese capital are traceable to NO
authoritative source. The latest news
from Pekin that is at all reliable is
nine days old.
On June 9th through conditions that
we're then desperate, the British,
French, and German legations we're
still standing, and the Chinese att .cks
on them had not been successful.
Anything may have happened since
then, however, and even If the fer.
eigners have not been murdered there
is ample time for the Chinese to con-
summsts the work between now and
the unknown but distant date when
relief will reach Pekin.
AS suggested in these dispatches
yesterday Tien Tsin bids fair to be-
come q second Pekin. The II, 900
troops there are fighting al over
whelming b,dy of Chinese, and are
completely cut off from the coast
Until great army can be modified
At Taku the reinforcements now drib-
