Generosity of Former Wichita

The outdoor spOrtsmen of early Wichita
established hunting preserves in Barber
county nearly thirty years ago and the
noble red man poached on them OCCASION
ally. One time in particular they poached
on them when they were rather blood
thirsty and a house that Dr. McAGams,
one of Wichita's pioneer physicians. built
became the scence OF a tragedy in
which two white men lost their lives
and their scalps. This place was in Elm
creek, ten miles or so from where Medi-
cine Lodge now stands. The wife OF one
of the murdered men went insane over
the loss of her husband. She had five
children, the oldest one of them, a girl
of z. This little girl hitched up the team.
placed her insane mother and the other
children in the wagon and drove TO Wich-
tia When they arrived here the little girl
told her story. One of the old-tinme gam
bIars rushed around among his fellow
craftsmen. and in fifteen minutes had
made up purse Of $50 and placed it in
the little girls hand. McAdams says that
word of the matter went around town and
that in. less than half an hour that wagon
was full Of provisions. Everybody
wanted TO give some help to the family,
who were going to the insane woman's
father in Missouri. Some gave hams. some
sacks of flour and you could see some run
ming to that wagon with an arm full Of
canned goods. DR.. McAdams says that
incident was a fine exempliication of the
spontaneous frontier generosity of the
town

The mystery OF an early day affinity
has never been solved nor is the mystery
OF some latter day afiinities for that
matter. As q matter OF fact Wichita has
always had some strange afinities, but
never more Of them than at the present
Tho early day case. however, was very
noticeable because probably there was not
much else to rotice in those days. The
stone house on East Murdoch averne is
monument to that strange affinity.
Bishop and Fenton. two young Michigan
ders. built it and had Kept a kind Of
bachelor han there. One Of them was
the son of the serving Governor while
the other was a son Of an Ex-Governor.
They brought here with them about
$4,000 ana spent it lavishIy Bishop was
the most polite and affable men of the
time while Fenton was sour, sullen and
non-magnetic. Bishop had great genius
for making friends while Fenton never
did try to be agreeable; and still both OF
them We're inseperable companions, a
cloud ard sunburst always together
Bishop was the pioneer Chesterfield. In
the presence Of a lazy he always stood
bare headed and his bows" were by far
the most perfect examples Of gentlity
ever observed by old timers before or
since. 1t was not long till Bishop went
broke and it IS said that the time came in
his career when he had TO resort TO
sweeping out bar rooms for his main
tainance He was down near Fort Sill
whacking bulls when his folks discovered
his whereabouts. They sent for him

They Aeturned Like Skeletons.

Uncle Newt Warren, who is said to
have been the very first man into the
Black Hills country after the gold dis
covery, went from Wichita with a young
fellow named Bishop. The experience
they had there. as related by themselves
and verified by history. is still talked
about here. There was a fannie IN the
Hills the first winter and the stampede
out was worse TIM the one inward. Many
of them died from cold and starvation
while trying to escape TO a more hospita-
bic region. Uncle Dick and Bishop came
out in a little sled fixed up by themselves
and pulled by a lone mule that, owing
to the scarcity of feed. was nothing but
skin and bones. They Travelled through
miles of uninhabitated country with prac-
tically no food and the temperature below
zero They were like skeletons when they
reached Wichita

Geuda SPRINGS Electric Line.

W. b. Smith thinks that an electric
street car line between Wichita and Geuda
Springs would pay and pay big. He IS
like every one else, a great friend to the
springs because he knows the merit of
their waters from medicinal stand
point. and he would like to see something
done to make them easy of access. Mr..
Smith thinks an electric line to the
springs would be a big thing for Wichita
as it would enable the farmers enroute
to hop on the cars and come up here to
do their trading. He also thinks that the
farmers along the line would contribute
the right OF way and maybe do the grad
ing free

said, "Howdy, Mas Lafayette; how
you do, sir. You member me?" Yes,
stop; don't tell me your name. All! I
have it. Pompey, belonging to Colonel
Buchanan, the first servant who waited
on me when I came to America. When
landed at Georgetown was taken
first to the camp Of General Buchanan,
near there, and Pompey waited on me-"
said he. as he shook warmly the old
a glass Of champagne with Pompey,
which that worthy took with great dig
nifty. Then he put out his hand and
said, Goodbye, Mas Lafayette; we
getting old-well never meet again.
God bless you." They shook hands
again. Pompey went out, mounted his
pony, and started for his home near
Winnsboro, saying he'd come to see'
General LaFayette; now he'd done that
he was going home.
Judge DeSaussure's house was next
to the one occupied by Lafayette, and
here in his yard, did this gentleman of
the old school, have servants in at
tendance, constantly bringing fresh
water and dispensing it to the thirsty
men. It was but a cup Of cold water,
but how graceful the action, how pure
the heart so full Of thought for others
comfort. Frequently would the court
ly gentleman, when the soldiers crowd
ed in, take the pitcher in hand while
the servants ran for more, and fill the
cup after cup Of water with his own
hands.
The ball given that night in the state
house, was, suppose, a splendid affair,
During the entire night fire rockets
were sent off. The next day LaFay-
cite rode around town, calling on diff
ferent men Of eminence. Among 9TH
ers, so honored, was William Edward
Hayne, formerly sheriff Of York-the
son Of Charleston's Revolutionary mar
tyr. Mrs. Hayne brought out her in
FAINT and said to the general, "Sir, when
my baby is grown, want to have it to
say it was once in the arms of General
Lafayette" Benignly he took the in
FAINT in his arms, kissed and blessed it.
Whether the babe lived to mature
years, to boast the gentle action which
graced its infancy, I know not.
After three days stay, we saw the
bright pageant ended, and returned to
York-its beauties to recount, its pleas
ures to recall. Even now, after the
lapse of As years, recur with pride to
these days.
"Then none were for a party;
Then all were for the state;
Then the great helped the poor,
And the poor man loved the great"
do not remember any preserved rec
ord Of these great gala days in South
Carolina, and have, therefore, been
moved to tell to the young, as well as
the gap Of years allow, the pomp Of
the reception at their state capital Of

in by the gay company
from York.

A CASE OF LAW.
The Decision That Was Rendered by
BasutO Solomon.

The Decision That Was Rendered by
a Basuto Solomon.
Law is complicated thing, and some
Of its decisions seem not to be found
ed in equity. Probably most readers
will pass that criticism upon the case
recorded below:
Basutoland, being broken and noun
famous, was until recently the resort
Of lions, leopards and other wild ami
mails. Now, however, the hillsides
which were once the resort Of these
savage creatures, are the pasture
grounds of tens of thousands Of cattle.
Nearly all dangerous animals have
been driven away from Basutoland,
but not long ago leopard appeared
on the outskirts Of village. The ami
NAL soon became as badly frightened
as the villagers and sought safety in
flight.
The next morning the inhabitants
turned out for a hunt. One Of the
hunters was climbing a steep rock
when he suddenly found himself face
to face with the leopard, whose retreat
was cut off by the rock itself. Neither
the man nor the animal could escape
the encounter.
The dilemma was an awkward one,
for the climber was unarmed. Realiz-
ing his danger, he put forth his hands
and in desperation caught hold Of the
leopard on each side Of its jaw and
called for help. The leopard claWed
and tore his captor, but the man held
on until help arrived, and the beast
was speared.
Now came question Of law. BY Ba-
suto law the skin belonged to the chief,
who must reward one of three claim
ants-either the man who speared the
leopard or the man who held it so that
it was possible to spear it, or the man
who, being warned by the barking OF
his dog, first discovered the animal In
the village.
The Basuto Solomon decided the
case as follows: The man who speared
it could not have done so but for the
man who held it, and the man VINO
held it, could not have known OF lts
existence If the dog had not first warn
ed the village; therefore the credit for
the killing belonged to the dog, whose
owner was entitled to the reward
