A RUNAWAY GIRL.
Dodge City Miss Leaves Home
Arrested in Chicago.

Chicago. Nov. 5.-Dorothy Hinkle, the
16-year-old daughter of William Hin
kle, manager for the Postal Telegraph
company at Dodge City, Kas., is a pris-
oner in the annex at the Harrison street
police station, and involved in her
arrest is a story replete with romantic
features, presenting the pretty school
girl as the sweetheart of a railroad
brakeman who left home because her
parents objected to her Su1tOr.
The young woman was arrested by
Detective Sergeants Brown and Bugg1e
of the central station on telegram re-
ceived earlier in the day from the girl s
of friend in the southwest part of the
city, where, it is said, she has been
most of the time since her arrival here
ten days ago. When arrested the girl
broke down and cried.
She declared she did not want to re-
turn home, but desired to remain IN
Chicago to meet her sweetheart, whose
arrival she expected daily. The de
tectives, however, refused to listen to
her pleadings and took her to the sta
ton, where she will be kept in charge
of the matron until her father can be
communicated with.
The girls romance began two years
ago, when she first met William Gard
ner, 26 years old, who had gone west
from New York city and secured a po-
sition a brakeman on the Santa Fe
Kas., to La Junta. Colo.
Gardner's uncle is employed as sta
ton agent for the same road at Dodge
City, and the young man was intro
duced into some of the best homes of
the town, Dorothy Einlkle at that time
was in short skirts. but she admired
the brakeman and soon an attachment
sprang up between them. They were
much in each others company, it is
said, but owing to the age of the girl
it was thought they regarded each other
only as friends.
This friendship, however, ripened into
love, and it is said they engaged to
marry. Two weeks ago Gardner is said
to have asked the consent of Miss
Hinl1le's father, and it was then for
the first time that the latter realized
the situation. Mr.. Hinkle, it is said,
refused to listen to Gardner and in
structed his daughter that she must not
see him again.
The chief objection to the marriage is
said to have been the tender age of the
girl Both were told to wait until she
had at least graduated from high
school.
Gardner apparently was satisfied, but
the girl was obstinate. She decided to
run away from home, and late one
afternoon took a train bound toward
Chicago. Nothing was known by her
parents of her intention, and when she
failed to return home at the usual time
it was feared she had eloped.
Gardner was found, however. and he
claimed he was unable to explain the
strange disappearance of the girl.
Later it was learned that she was at
the home of q married sister living at
Tolona, ILL.,, but when a letter reached
there she had left for Chicago. An
other married sister lives in this city,
but the girl last night refused to give
her name or address.
It is believed the girl had planned to
meet Gardner here, as she frequently
inquired for him last night The police
say they have been informed that Gard
ner recently resigned his position and
left Dodge City, saying he was going to

MISSISSIPPI SCORES.
Adds One to Her Record of Negroes
Burned Alive.

Gulf Port, Miss, Nov. 5.-A negro
was burned at the stake in Perry coun-
ty, Mississippi, Saturday night. The
crime for which the negro suffered was
committed early in the morning, and
Mrs. Fortenberry is the victim. She Is
wife of one of the prominent men IN
that section. She was beaten into un-
consciousness by the negro. After re-
covering consciousness, and while al
most too weak to move. she began cry
ing for help.
When assistance reached her she told
the story of the crime and described
the negro. A posse WIS organized and
a negro answering the description given
by Mrs. Fortenberry was caught and
identified by her. She stated positively
that he was the man who had com
nitted the crime. The negro then made
a confession, telling all the details he
had previously denied. An informal
court was organized by the members OF
the posse. The trial resulted in a de-
cision to burn the negro, who was car
ried from the house to the exact scene
of his crime and there burned at the
stake.

New York Letters Delivered in

New York, Nov. 5-Business men were
surprised by the delivery of mails that
left New York on Tuesday last, says the
London correspondent of the Herald.
The delivery was at least day in ad-
vance of the usual time. Often it is
Wednesday before they are delivered.
This remarkable record is due to the
rapid passage of the Kron Prinz Will

minutes past midnight on Sunday. thus
covering the 1878 miles in five days,
eight hours and eighteen minutes.
This is only about an hour more than

Murphy G Co.'s Stock Letter.

New York, May 13.-Busness was re- stunned upon the Stock Exchange with transactions in large volume and for the most part effected at material advances above Fridays final figures. The most conspicuous feature of early dealings were St. Paul, Union Pacific, Missouri Pacific, Erie and United States Steel. Among the specialties, Amalgamated Copper was notably strong, The local Traction stocks were dull and neglected. Virtually nothing transpired bearing up- on the financial situations since the close on Friday except in regard to the more definite and authentic statements regarding last weeks developments in Northern Pacific affairs. At the same time the actual status of the control of the property remains in doubt inasmuch as in their official statement neither side asserted positively that 1t was in abso- lute control of the property. London fur nished irregular changes for American stocks but advances predominated.
 St. Paul was particularly strong in London, while Northern Pacific was quoted at sight reaction. The beginning of the settlement upon the London Stock Exchange did not reveal the tremendous short interest in Northern Pacific that had been expected to develop there; and on the contrary, the stock was reported to he loaning flat in that market. The dealings here for foreign account upon the opening business were conducted on both sides of the market.
 Southern Railway issues were very ac- tive. Consolidated Gas was fairly active and materially higher.
 Tennessee Coal and Iron opened weak, but had a sharp rally. The money market was easier The closing of the market was. very irregular.

 New York, May 13-Cables from Liver pool coming fully as weak as expected. with spot cotton there also 1-16d lower. the local crowd concluded that the only thing to do was to help along further the decline, and it was rather an easy thing to bring about when there appeared to be no buying orders to check 1t. The sell ing today was mostly for short account. It was noticeable and effective owing to the lack of buying orders. but 1t was not of a confident sort. The market held quite steady after the opening, and unless Liverpool declines sharply again tomor- row the market here is in a good position to have a reaction. Short sales on the bulges for quick turns may be well enough, but we believe purchases of July below 75Oc and August below 7.25c are reasonably certain to show profits and are accompanied with less than short sales though until something new turns up to cause an increase in the general outside trade 1t Is more than likely fiuc- tuations will be confined to narrow range.
 The total port receipts today were 1o.- 279 bales, against 10,14 last week and 14,- 229 last year. Houston expects tomorrow rather large receipts-56O0 to 5000, against 7706 last week and 21s1 last year, which gave confidence to the bears Some short lines were put out on this but caused no

 The new crop months have been sold pretty freely, large short interest exists and during the next three months any important change in the situation in that crop should favor an advance-possibly a considerable advance rather than any decline of consequence.
 Only a record-breaking crop will, we believe, cause October, December or Jan uary cotton to sell down as low as 6.50 at any time.
