BOTH PLAY an SANE CANE.
Dispute Over Boundary Liae Lads I'VE
Farmers 90 DRAW Deadly Woapons-
Both Give Bonds 60 Keep Psase.

Friday afternoon The troubles Of Z.
81. Beinhof and William DisKrugsr,
two farmers living southeast Of Good
land, were aired in Justice Cuthbert-
sons court
The case grew ont Of q disagreement
between Beinhoff and DisKrugar,
whose farms join, over line fence.
Beinhof claimed that DieKrugeF vas
over on his land a couple OF rods, 50 he
dug bitches indicating the boundary
according to his contention in astubbla
field which DieKruger was intending
to SOW to wheat. DieKruger filled the
bitches and proceeded TO drill in Whest
on the disputed land last Thursday,
whereupon BeinhoR appeared and sn
alteration ensued during which Bein-
hOf fourished q revolver, and, Il Is
claimed, made threats of bodily injury
to DieKr1ger. The latter had no gun,
but proceeded to his home and was
met by his wife with a shotgun, who
was coming to his assistance, and both
wife and husband marched to the feld
of battle in possession Of Beinhoff.
Better judgment was displayed, how
ever, when firearms met firearms, and
no blood was shed.
The outcoms OF the matter was 3
peace warrant, which was sworn out by
Beinhof against DieKruger. Law is q
game that two can play as well as one,
so DieKruger sued a counter writ, or
peace warrant, against Beinhof.
After hearing the evidence the court
bound both BeinhoR and DieKrugsr
in the sum of 500 to keep the peace.
Bond was furnished and the case will
come up at the next term Of the dis
trict court.
County Attorney Andrews was coun-
sci for the state in the first case Of
Beinhof vs. DieKruger, and G. L. Cal
vert was attorney for DieKruger in
defense. The costs in the case will
amount to s25 or $50, besides the at
torney's tees.

came so deeply interested in religious
matters that it unbalanced his mind
and he is hopeIessly insane Wrought
up at times to a passionate pitch by
religious excitement. McKeigan would
utter statements that put the johnson
family IN fear Of bodily harm at his
hands, and it was considered best for
their safety that he be committed to

THE WAGNER TRAIN ROBBERY.
Forty Thousand Dollars T~aken-The
Pursuit of the RObbers-Werc
Experienced Hands.

St. Paul, MIMI, July 6.0General
Auditor D.. B. Elicit, of the Great
Northern Express Co., said yesterday
that the exact amount of the loss by
the hold-up at Wagner, Mont, on Mon
day last, was Sal, 500. All but $500 was
currency sent from Washington to
the Montana NationalBank of Helena
the rest beinI Great Northern money
in the through safe. The consign.
ment to the Montana bank consisted
of bank notes printed in sheets OF
SO and $50 bills. Only nine were
signed by the PRESIDENT and cashier
of the bank, but all could be readily
passed without their signatures.
Mr.. Elliott received Information
late yesterday that the identity of tbs
men who robbed the express safe haC
been established by Pinkerton mer
sen from st. Paul. He did not care to
give out their names until satisfied
that the detectives had made no mis-.
take.
IF the Pinkertons T right said
he, 'the men T experienced hands
and have held up trains on other
roads,"
The report that the robbers mad
been surrounded, Mr.. Elliott said, was
not verified by information received
by Great Northern officials. Their
horses were chased by a posse about
fifty miles south of Malta, Mont. OF.
ficials of the express company believe
that the men had fresh mounts and
suppose they eluded their pursuers
and are now in the Little Rocky
mountains, a wild country we'll sup.
piled with hiding places. The district
will be guarded by a picket line and
the authorities hope to capture the
men when they try to get out.
A party of cowboys has started
north from Lewistown, in the Judith
basin, to intercept the robbers should
they continue southwark from the
Little Rocky mountains.

A YOUTHFUL MURDERER.
and. Seeing What He Had Done,
Hanged Himself.

Albany, n. z, July 6.-Reymond AL
bers, a 13-year-old lad, last evening
shot and killed Emanuel Koehler, p
boy of 10 years, and then hanged HIM
self. The boys were playmates, and
according to statements of neighbors,
they had ~quarreled some days ago.
Albers is the son of Albert Albers, a
well-known painter, and Koehler is
the son of Rev. John T. Koehler, q
minister of the Gospel.
The shooting took place at six
o'clock last evening. Young Koehler
was standing on a fence in the ear
of Albers' house. He was with his
eight-year-old brother, Theodore, who
was the only one who saw the shoot
ing. The little fellow told his father
last night that The two boys had some
words, and that Albers raised a rifle
that he had and, pointing it at his
brother, shot him. The boy says hat
Albers, when he saw Koehler fall
from the fence, said:
"T'm sorry I did it."
The rifle used was a % Flobert rifle
of short caliber. The ball struck
Koehler in the left breast and passed
through his heart. He died almost
instantly. When Albers saw what he
had done he ran into the house and
told his mother. The neighborhood
was quickly alarmed with the news,
and, during the excitement, Albers
ran away. It was not until the arrival
Of the police that a search was made
for him. He was found in the cellar
of his home, suspended by the neck
from the end of a rope tied to a beam.
When he had learned that Koehler
was dead Alters went to the cellar.
and, taking n piece of rope, tied it to
a beam and standing on a eask, fast
ened it about his neck. He then
jumped from the cask and vas u.s.
pended in mid air when found. When
cut down he was still alive, but he
died a few moments later.

THE PAN-AMERIcAN Elk.
The Attendance So Far a DfsappOint-
ment, but Expected to Inn
prove from Now On.

Buffalo, n. Y, July S.-The total at
tendance to date at the Pan-American
exposition is 1,779,86S. The attend
ance began on May 20, but at that
time many features were incomplete
and the people remained away. The
average daily attendance for June, in
Guiding five Sundays, was over thirty
one thousand. The excessively hot
weather during the last two weeks
has had a deterrent influence on the
attendance, notwithstanding Buffalo
is rated as 1.-The coolest city" by eve
degrees, on account of the breezes
from Lake Erie. It is believed that
July and August will easily bring the
total to above five millions, and it will
remain for September and October to
bring the remainder of the ten mill
lions at which the status of g~uessers
has been set.
At the Chicago Worlds fair So per
cent. of the attendance was during the
last two months. Eight million paid
admissions, with the from
concessions, will repay the cost of the
Pan-American exposition.
One thing hat has perhaps counted
seriously against the attendance to
date is the short-limit railway excur-
sion tickets, which gives the holder
but one or two days at the exposition.
Some of the excursion people have
expressed themselves strongly against
any ticket having a limit of less than
Is days, claiming that two weeks is
little enough for anyone who desires
to enjoy the exposition as a festival
or to profit from it rs a great educa-
kinnal institution.

KANSAS IRRIGATION Law.
II Is Declared to be Constitutional
and Now the work Of Storage
VIII Begin.

Topeka, Kas-, July s.-The state SD.
preme court has handed down a deci-
sion declaring the Kansas irrigation
law to be constitutional and that the
condemnation of land by the Pawnee
Lake and City Irrigation Co. is valid.
This will make it possible to carry
into effect the biggest irrigation
scheme ever attempted in Kansas
that projected by Barton county, sit
uated in the exact enter of the state.
The company projecting the scheme
sought to condemn land occupying a
space IL miles long and eight miles
wide, the old Pawnee lake, for a reser-
voir. 1t built a long ditch from the
Arkansas river, just west of Great
Bend, to b lake, and proposed to
fill n lake when the river is high and
hold the water until it is needed in
the main and lateral bitches in east
ern Barton, Rice and Reno counties.
the latter two counties adjoining Bar
ton.
Storage has become a necessary
part of all big irrigation schemes in
Kansas and eastern Colorado, because
when the water is most needed the
Arkansas river is likely to be dry. The
county in which the company is work
ing is a great wheat-growing district,
and work on the ditch will now be
pushed rapidly to insure the next
crop.
The Arkansas river is that over
which Kansas and Colorado are now at
law, Kansas suing the State of Colo
RADIO for Illegally diverting the water
from that stream and causing it to
run dry in the Sunhower state.
