CAPT. CARRIERS CASE.
Attorneys for the Convicted Oficer Say
Developments Will Make 1t Equal to
the Noted Dreyfus AFFAIR In France.

Leayenworth, Kan, Feb. 14.-Devel-
opments in the Carter case late yes
terday afternoon point to a national
scandal which, his attorneys claim,
will equal the noted Dreyfus case OF
France. John II. Atwood, Carriers To-
cal attorney, received word that
should Carter be admitted to bail by
the federal court tomorrow he will
be Immediately arrested. SO as to pre-
vent his going to Savannah, Ca, where
he would demand civil trial and
which, he asserts, would prove his
complete innocence of the charges for
which he was convicted. Officers, it is
said, are on the way to arrest him
should the court grant bail, but an
effort will be made to have the court
refuse to admit him to bail, as there
is strong desire to keep him from
going to Savannah.
The intention of the officers is to
effect Carriers arrest and take him to
New York, where other contractors
are implicated for alleged defrauding
thegovernment, and holding him there
until the supreme court passes upon
his application for habeas corpus.
Carriers application to be admitted
to bail Will be argued before Judge
Hook, of the United States court, to.
morrow. He has filed an affidavit set
ting forth that each day that he is
kept in confinement lessons his
chances of proving his innocence, as
several of his witnesses have died
since he has been in prison He also
states that the confinement has i'm
paired his health and in the event of
his acquittal he would be entitled to
indemnity from the government for
unlawful confinement.

A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
Impaled on the Plunge Rod of Pump.

Arnold Mcleod age IA years, son of
Alex Mcleod, met with Il serious acct
dent at about 40 O'Clock, Tuesday a.
m. Arnold was climbing on q rope sns-
pended from the top of the tower of the
wind mill in his fathers yard, when. los
ing his balance. he fell distance of II
feet and striking on the plunge rod of the
pump. where he was inpaled for a num-
Der of seconds. The rod. Which is one
inch wide aud half an inch thick, enter
ed the fleshy part of the left leg below
the thigh and passed through the leg for
ten inches or more, and protruded left of
the knee joint. The boy fell backwards
and his weight caused the iron enter

or splintered. and the wound is painful.
Arnold hung down head foremost, sus-
pended by the leg. on its iron hook, and
against the pump. when the leg was lifted
off I Is implement The ugly wound
bled profuseIy and the injured boy was
taken into the house by Geo. V. Bartlett,
and the Drs. McCarty were Immediately
summoned. The doctors probed and
washed the wound and bandaged the
limb The unfortunate boy will fiud sew

the wound (periaps MANNED for life,)
and to consider that boys make danger
Gus experiments sometimes.
Jack Murphy and his son were clean
ing the we'll. and the rope used by them
and fastened to the top of the wind mill
tower is the rope which Arnold was hang
ing to, and by some means it became
slackened which caused the boy TO be
thrown down. Tom Murphy, as soon as
he could, lifted the boys leg from its
perilous position.
Had Arnold's leg not caught on the
plunge rod. he would have fallen into the
we'll 60 feet deep, and it is probable in
his headlong descent he would have
struck on his head in the bottom of the
we'll.
Arnold Mcleod, couple of years ago,
was badly injured in the left hand by the
premature explosion of revolver which
he was taking out of box, tile pistol

the cars striking him, and was in the To-

Arnold Mcleod is doing well, and he
will recover soon. He is strong and
healthy and this is much to his advantage

The champion liar is always found

fish story in the GLOBE REPUBLICAN
the Meade Globe tells another. 1t is in
confirmat ton of Darwin-s theory that the
change in habits make Il change in struc-
tire. evidenced in the change of the
swin-bladder of fish to one of lung
capacity. The Meade Globe fish have
feet well lungs. The Globe says
In Sand Greek and Odee townships there
are ponds away up OH the flats that are
full of catfish having feet much like the
lizard and are able to travel along the
banks of the ponds and from one pond to
another This may seem to be a strange
story-but is actual truth, told by
some of the most reliable men in that
part of Meade county Fish Warden
Wiley is endeavoring to get hold of a
number of this strange kind of fish and
will take them to Topeka and place them
on exhibition There be doubt
but that they are genuine fish and that
the extreme droutI of this western coun-
try have through evolution produced
species of fish that able to get from
one pond to another when the water dries
up. 1t is unquestionably a wise provision
of nature. We await the examination of
this new species of fish by ichthyologists
with much interest.
