PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE.
One Thousand Rounds of Cartridges
 Sent to Jasper.

Col. Tom O. Smith of the Third Reg iment, Alabama National Guards, sent 1000 rounds of cartridges to the Jas per Rifles last night. This step was taken as a precautionary measure against the probable lynching of the white man, Cox, who is charged with an outrage upon his own daughter. few days ago. The Jasper Rifles had not been supplied with cartridges and were, therefore, not equipped to pro tect the prisoner in the event mob undertook to take him from the jail.
 Up to late hour last night no dem- onstration had been made and there were no indications of mob forming, but there was more or less aprehen- sion on the part of the officers.

SUDDEN DEATH
 OF A BARTENDER John M. Dickinson Found In a
 Standing Position DUE ID HEART FAILURE Was Employed at Lavender's Saloon, Corner Eighth Avenue and Four. teenth Street-WaIked Into a
 Rear Room-Investigation.
DUE TO HEART FAILURE

John M. Dickinson, a bartender em- ployed at the saloon of William Laven- der at the corner of Eighth avenue and Fourteenth street, was found dead last night about Il o'clock in room in the rear of the saloon, where he had gone few minutes before. The cause of his death is supposed to have been heart failure due to excessive drinking.
 Dickinson had been on duty during the afternoon and evening, and was appar- ently in good health. Shortly before II o'clock he left his place behind the bar and walked into the back room, which had been used as bedroom supposedly to look after the doors and windows as 1t was near closing time. There were sev- eral men in the room at the time, but no special attention was paid to his absence until 1t became prolonged, when one of the men walked into the room and found him standing by the side of the bed with his head resting on the mattress, which was rumpled up near the foot of the stead. Thinking that he was not feeling well he called to him and asked what was the matter but getting no answer he approached nearer and found that the bartender was dead.
 The other men were quickly summoned but life was extinct and the coroner and MT. Lavender were immediately notified.
 Coroner Paris went at once to the sa- loon and made a preliminary investigation but failed to find any evidence of foul play. MT. Lavender soon arrived and from him the coroner obtained the infor- Llation that Dickinson had been drink ing rather heavily of late and concluded that death was due to heart failure super induced by alcoholism.
 The remains of the dead man were re- moved to the undertaking establishment of Gaudin & Loy, where the coroner will make further investigation this morn ing.
 Dickinson was a married man and resid- ed with his family, consisting of a wife and five small children, near Cutclin's store in Smithfield, a short distance from tho saloon.

TRAGIC DEATH OF
 1S-YEAR OLD BOY Joe WaddeII Killed By Con- panion at Pratt City PLAYING WITH PISTOLS One of the Weapons Was Accidentally Discharged, Sending Bullet
 Through Head of the Un-
 fortunate Lad.

A terrible tragedy occurred at Pratt City yesterday afternoon at 3:3O o'clock which resulted in the death of Joe Wad- dell, a 13-year-old boy, at the hands of Owen Culpepper a companion and play mate about the same age.
 The boys had been out hunting during the day and had returned to the Culpep- per residence, where they came across two pistols belonging to J. T. Culpep- per, the father of one of the boys. One Of the pistols was loaded but the other, a H-calibre colts, contained a number of cartridges, which young Culpepper re- moved, and began snapping at his con- panion. The other little fellow returned the imaginary fire and they were both in high glee until Mrs. Culpeper arrived on the scene and put a stop to the mimic warfare by ordering them to put the pis- tols up.
 The order was immediately obeyed and young Culpepper, who had reloaded his pistol was in the act of putting 1t under the pillow of the bed when 1t was acci- dentally discharged, instantly killing young Waddell, who was standing near by. The bullet struck the unfortunate boy just behind the right ear and passed entirely through the head, coming out on the other side.
 Mrs. Culpepper was in the room at the time and when it was discovered that the Waddell boy was dead there was in- tense excitement. The little fellow who had caused the death of his companion was almost crazed with grief, and it was indeed pitiful to hear him disclaim any intention to fire the pistol.
 Coroner Paris was sent for and re- sponded immediately to the call. He made a preliminary investigation and concluded that the boys death was pure ly accidental.

There is not the slightest doubt in
the world but that the above fish
can be traced directly to that now
famous dry land terrapin, known all
over Western Kansas as the Lobo
catfish. When we first mentioned
this celebrated fish about year ago,
many people thought it a joke, but
now many of the papers IN this part
of the state are beginning to treat
the matter seriously. We first be-
came interested in icthyology when
our attention was called to Fish
Warden Wiley's Biennial Report on
Fish and Fish Culture, which he
made to Gov. Stanley last year.
The report did not deal very exten-
sively with the Lobo as their i'm
portation was only an experiment al
that time, but together with MIR.
Wiley we carried on extensive ex-
periments and found that this was
the proper fish for Western Kansas
