murderous intent, but he escaped injury.
0lr. Harper. president Of the bank at
Conway Springs, was IN the city last
evening and reported that the tramp had
been arrested and was in jail at Well
ington. lie said the tramp was stealing
a ride on the train and when the con-
dUctor discovered him he stopped the
train just after leaving Perth and put
him of. He had no sooner struck the
ground than he drew a revolver and
fired at the conductor, but before he
could fire a second shot the conductor
slipped inside the car. A. was about S
O'Clock in the morning when the shooting
occurred. The officers at Wellington were
notified and by noon they had the tramp
in jail.
Some Of the railroad men here say that
tramps are becoming troublesome and
that If they take notion to shoot at the
train men VINO eject them from trains it
viii not be pleasant for the train men.
who are not anxious TO take chances at
shooting with all the tramps on the road.
Besides. the tramps have plenty of time
to practice with the revolver and are la
bic to be good shots.
Further details Of the affair are taken
from the Wellington Mail as follows:
'W B. Seymour flied his bond, with J.
II. Herrick and J. P. Winner as sureties,
at 8.45 o'clock this morning and took the
oath of Office. He hurried away from ths
city clerks Office 10 make his urst arrest.

Perth. lie discovered a bum on the train.
q north bound freight, and asked him
Tor ticket. The bum told MIN he had no
ticket. Powell then started back over
ccal car to the cabo0se. The bum evi-
IDENTIFY thought the conductor was going
after gun. ANY way he Jumped off .--e
train, and after tumbling over once or
twice got up and fired two shots at Con
ductOr Powell. One Of the pistol balls
struck a block Of coal at Pewells feet
and the other whistIed uncomfortably
close to his ear. When the freight train
met the passenger at Wellington Sheriff
shawver got OF the passenger and Mr..
Powell gave him an accurate description
of the bum.
AS court was meeting this morning,
Shawver had to hurry to the court house. /
So he turned the case over 10 Seymour
and Johnson Turner Securing a team,
they drove six miles down the Rock

but the officers got the drop on him. and

FUSION is DEAD
Senator Tapp Makes an Interesting
Prediction.

Prediction.
Senator James ". Tapp yesterday gave
it as his opinion that there viii not be
any more fusion of the Populists and
Democrats in this state and there win be
no more fusion on national tickets. The
senator gave ais reasons for his conclu-
sions.
He went on to relate lnat when Bryan
was nominated at Chicago the 1opulists
were made TO believe that the Democratic
party had been captured by the llberaf
element Of the party and that the re-
forms advocated by the Populist party
would be taken UP by the Democratic
party. He said free coinage Of silver was
Populist measure and they were led To
believe that Mr.. Bryan was about as
good a Populist as anybody. He said the
Populists had a good deal more faith in
Bryan personally than they had in the
Democratic party as an organization.
Now, he says, things have changed and
the eastern Democrats are coming into
leadership; and an eastern Democrat is a.
good deal further from the Populist party
than a Republican. The Popmists viii
never trust the eastern Democrats to car
~ out any reforms. The Kansas Demo-
Gratis, he thought. would fail in behind
their eastern leaders and help To ncmin-
ate some man like Hi of New York or
German of maryland for president. ana
he would like TO see the color OF d Popu-
list who would vote for either of them
for president.
You mark what I say" said the SEN
ator, there VIII not be any more fusion
in Kansas There VIII not even be fusion
in this county next fan"

ARE HARD TO FIND
Real Estate Men say Vacant Lots are
Hard TO Find


Along with the present activity in ali
commercial lines, the rising value Of bus
mess and residence property. comes the
increased demand for vacant lots for
building purposes. It is something quite
astonishing but nevertheless a fact. that
with one or two exceptions, there are no
vacant lots for sale at market value close
in on any OF the better residence streets.
Even so far north as Thirteenth street
on Lawrence or Topeka, nothing in this
line can be found that it is worth While
TO try TO buy at a reasonable figure.
Several months ago a couple of shrewd
dealers picked up about all the vacant
lots that were in the market at quick NOV
ing prices on these two streets and are
in fair way to realize a neat little proat
on their investment A well known real
estate agent said yesterday that it was
impossible to supply the demand for
vacant residence lots well situated and
priced at a conformity with the market.
He said II was true there were some va
cant lots in all parts OF the city. but they
were not priced so that he could handle
them. Vacant lots and building sites"
he continued. showed greater advance in
price than other property and have al
most doubled within the past six
months"

FOR SAFE KEEPING
Frank Clark Lodged in the
Wichita Jail.
FARMERS WERE EXCITED
And INDUCED in Talk of
Lynching Him.

Frank Clark, VINO was taken through
Wichita by Sheriff shawver Of Sumner
county on Monday. charged with Grim
inally assaulting his 15-year-oi~ sister,
now rests in the sedgwick county jail.
He occupies one Of the cells Of the rotary
where he can not break out and nobody
can break in.
When Sheriff snawver arrived in Well
ington on Monday night he soon learned
that an enort would be made to lynch
Clark and at ne would have to guard
his prisoner well in order to save him
for trial in the district court Of Sumner
county for the unnatural crime with
which he is charged. A4eri1 Shawver
considered it his duty to protect Las pris-
oner against q mob and he began to de-
wise plans Tor doing it. He finally con-
cluded hat the safest way would be 10
bring Clark TO the county jail here at
Wichita as he did not believe mob
would try TO take him from --e Sedgwick
county Jail
Sheriff Shaver put his prisoner in the
jail at Wellington ana pretended that he
had no fears Of mob in that place.
When dark came on the people began %
gather on the streets and tai. OF the ar
rest OF Clark, but it was at the same
time told that Clark had been taken 70
Wichita. The sheriff had slipped with
his prisoner to the north bound Rock
Island train and before very many Of the
people OF Wellington had found out that
the sheriff had certainly arrived with his
prisoner he was on the Rock Island
speeding back to Wichita, and he arrived
here after clock last night and was
handed over to Sheriff Simmons.
City Marshal @. ". Cox Of W. wellington
was in the city yesterday and learned
that Clark was here. he said he had
heard that 80 people Of Wellington had
expressed themselves pretty freely in re-
gard to what ought to be done with
Clark, but he did not believe that the
people had made up their Minus to mob
him. he said that the sister Of 14ar6
had lived in The country near Arson.
which is about fifteen miles from Well
ington. and it was reported that the peo-
PIE there were terribly indignant against
Clark and tnat they would in all probabn-
ity use him roughly if they got a chance !
He thought the farmers had no use for a
man like Clar6 and that ne was in no
more danger from the farmers than from
me people of Wellington.
The officers Of the law have learned 10
guard such prisoners as Clark because
about nine men out of ten when told that
a man has committed such an offense as
that with which he is charged viii say
that he ought to be hung to a tree. and
others hearing the A--reat are liable 20
carry it out.
