Some doubt has been cast upon the famIl-
lar legend Of Jefferson's riding up to the
Capitol TO his Inauguration and hitching his
horse to the palings, and It's literal exactness
is not of much importance. Washington
was sparsely settled wilderness at that
time, riding was Jefferson's usual way of
going about, and the whole proceeding was
relatively much less rustic than II would ap-
pear to-day. Nevertheless, jefferson did
have purpose in this somewhat ostenta.
tious simplicity. He was not Indifferent TO
good manners or to the ceremonial courte.
sizes of life, but the Adams administration,
weakly initiating the unaffected stateliness
OF Washington, had carried official ceremo
NAL to an obnoxious il not ridiculous ex.
tent, under the then existing conditions,
and the great Virginian took the first occa-
sion to show his antipathy to this and to
symbolic it personally upon his assumption

WIFE MURDERER CAUGHT.
w. n. Kiensmire Has serious Charge to
Answer to-Tciis strange Tale.

HhN"NE tfitS StFhHkt hts
On the night of May l2, Mrs. w. II.
klensmire disappeared from her home
in Holton, Kan, and until sunday her
whereabouts were not known. Her
body was found buried in a ditch on
her husbands farm one mile north OF
Holton. The discovery was made by
the oldest daughter, who had been
searching over the place for some evil
dences of her mothers body in the
belief that foul play had been the cause
of the disappearance.
The gully in which the body was ex-
humed is al open field on high ground.
Appearances indicate hat the body
was thrown into the ditch without any
~cxcavating. and simply covered over
with dirt to "A depth of two or three
feet. On top of this was piled a heap
of hedge brush, which had recently
been piled near The grave was reason
ably well concealed and would not have
attracted ordinary attention. Marks
of a heavy blow were found.
After his wife's disappearance, Klens-
mire told his children that he and his
wife had quarellcd during the night
and that she had left home and prob.
ably had gone to some friends in the
north part of the county.
The children appeared to accept THIS
explanation and made no further in
quiry. Some days later klcnsmire
told his children that he had received
a telegram from Texas stating that his
wife had the yellow fever and tina he
would leave hat day to take care of
her, saying that if she died he would
bury her remains there. He refused to
show the children the telegram.
They later learned he had not re-
ceived a telegram. Then his daughter
began the search OF the farm.
Detectives were placed on the case
and klensmire was arrested at Kansas
City, Kan, and was taken to Topeka.

and that he buried the body because
he feared the disgrace. 1t is also be-
lievcd Klensmire murdered a brother
in-law in 1892 in order to secure insur-
ance money, and he may have to ans
