desert. He has so announced
himself and trouble Is aheld once
more in the Burton camp.
Findlay has long been loyal to
the senator aud II was rumored
that when the senatorial togs de-
ecended on Burton that be would
be placed on the pay rolls as in
ternal revenue collector.
Recently it was given out that
J. NJ. Simpson would receive the
coveted appointment, but that
Findlay would receive something
equally as good"
The equally as good" was the
contract for feeding the Federal
prisoners at Muskogee, made va
cant by the death Of Jim Pettigyew,
and the job was forthwith offered
to Findlay.
II was then that Findlay baked.
The Kansas appetite for territory
jobs is not resident in the Findlay
