The Well Known Leaven-
worth Lawyer dies
FROM HEART FAILURE
He was Dead Several Hours
Before Facts were Known
Mr.. FentOn was one of the Pioneers CT
Kansas and Most Successful
Lawyer

Leavenworth, Kansas, Feb. s.
Colonel Thomas p. Fenlon, perhaps
the Oldest and certainly one of the
ablest and best known lawyers in The
State, is dead. He died about s
O'Clock this morning in his room in
the Ryan building, but his death was
not discovered until l:30 O'Clock this
afternoon when the doctor made his
regular call. Death was due to heart
failure.
He had been in failing health for
year past, and for the last six months
had been almost constantly confined
to his room.
This morning, Father Ward adj
ministered extreme JUNCTION and com
munion to him, and he rolled over ON
his right side shortly afterwards and
apparently went to sleep. His son
was in the room nearly all the time,
but supposed that his father was
sleeping.
Funeral arrangements have not been
definitely settled though the body win
probably be buried from the cathedral
wednesday morning.

position. They Seem to
have an idea that
THE KANSAS REPUBLICANS
Would Rush to the New Res
ervatiOns in Numbers
That Democratic Ascendancy
in Oklahoma Might be
Endangered

Washington, Feb. 2.-The presen
condition OF matters relating to the
proposed opening of the Kiowa and
Comanche reservations is causing
considerable anxiety among the
friends of the proposed legislation
and those who are waiting anXiously
the adjustment of the details relating
to the adjustment OF the lands. 1t is
now an open secret that Stephens, of
Texas, and his friends and Arkansas
men in congress are determined to
throw every obstacle in the way of
the desired legislation. Their ami
mostly is inspired by belief that the
Kiowa reservation will be settled by
majority of people from Kansas and
they want all bars thrown down in
order to shut out as many people from
Oklahoma as possible and have their
places taken by Texas Democrats.
This is why Stephens objected to the
clause in the bill to authorize persons
who have lived on their homesteads
in Oklahoma for the space of five or
seven years to take up new home
steads in the reservations; but the
Stephens men go still further and in
sist that the bill prescribing how the
land shall be disposed of and who
shall be eligible to take them and
other details covered in the Flynn
bill shall be defeated so as to create
condition of lawlessness and enable
the'man with an arsenal to obtain the
choicest town lots as we'll as the best
quarter sections. They hope that the
conditions which prevailed in 1883,
when Oklahoma was thrown wide open
to settlement, will be re-enacted in the
opening of the Kiowa reservation, and
they intend, if possible, to defeat any
legislation that will tend to introduce
order and prescribe how the town lots
shall be disposed of. With this op'
position it will be difficult to pass any
bill by unanimous consent, and it Is
yet matter of doubt what steps will
be proper to secure the necessary
! legislation.

A Bill to Have One Established in

Topeka, Feb. I'm Difference to the
demand for county high schools, the
