How He Became "Wild Bill. ="

The first woman story ever printed
on Wild Bill Hickok has made its ap.
pearance in the form Of a communca-
ton to the Olathe Mirror from julie
Hadley. Hickok lived in johnson
county in 1867. "He," says Had
ley. "was one Of the first constables
in Monticello township, and remained
there year after his term Of Office
had expired, in a vain effort to marry
Mary Owen, a farmers daughter and
an eighth.blood Shawnee OF great at
tractiohs. In 1858 ! carried many
notes to the lady for him, as | made
my home with the Owens. The pub
lie does not know it, but his matri-
monial failure and disappointment
made him the Wild Bill and most
distinguished son Of the border"

WED IN A CARRIAGE. :
Drove Fifty Miles Before They Could
Find Preacher.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, May 2t.-Misses
OpheIia and Elsie Nelson, sisters, are
the daughters of wealthy farmer re-
siding near this city. Miss Ophelia is
the member of high school gradual
ing class, and was given her diploma
Monday. sThe young men in the case
are Charles Young, an employe of
daily paper, and Ed. Terrell. a clerk in
a large store. The four young people
secured a team and drove to Ozark, a
distance of twenty miles, yesterday,
where they could obtain marriage IL
censes. After a complete search OF the
town they failed to find a minister.
There was a crippled justice of the
peace in the town, but the girls object
ed to having the ceremony performed
by any other than a minister On learn
ing that a preacher resided at Gallo
way, a small place half way between
Ozark and Springfield, they started
back Upon arriving at Galloway they
learned the minister had gone to
neighbours a mile or so distance, and
they followed him from one place to
another for several hours. but could not
catch him. At last they decided to re-
turn to Springfield and give up the
chase. As they We're passing the resi-
dence of Rev. Harvey A. Jones they
spied him lying in a hammock, ano
calling to him made known their wants
exhibited the licenses. and the double
knot was tied while sitting in the car
riage. after drive of about fifty miles.

PROPOSED PURLIc PARK.
Makiki May Soon Possess Recre
alton Ground.

W. NJ. Minton is endeavoring TO Gre
ate interest in making of public park
out of a tract of property held in con-
troll by him on Beretania street be-
tween Keeaumoku and Makiki streets.
The tract proposed viii take in the
ground now used for baseball and
a park at an initial expenditure of
about eight thousand dollars.
Mr.. Minton has talked with residents
Of the vicinity. who agree with him
that there is an urgent necessity for
more air room in Honolulu.
while We have one or two squares
that are dignifed with the name of
parks said Mr.. Minton, there are no
reservations really worthy of the name.
Every city of any Importance in the
States and Territories of Greater Am
erica has large open spaces. the lungs
of the city. with grounds set aside for
baseball, cricket and tennis. with res
ervations where children may romp in
healthy freedom, and the elder citizens
have place of meeting and recreation
OF an evening. With all the brilliant
foliage plants of Hawaii a much more
attractive public space could and
should easily be created in the differ
ent sections of the city at but small
expenditure.
One or two Makiki capitalists who
have been interviewed on the subject.
are in favor of the proposition. and there
is possibility of Makiki possessing in
the near future public park in which
provision will be made for all the
branches of local land sports except
racing and golf.
