For ReappOintment as POST

D. R. Anthony, Jr., is Super
seeded With Fred Willard.

Washington, June 12.-Congressman
Curtis today recommended the reap
pointn ent of ]. M. Chisham as post
master at Atchison. There were three
old soldier candidates and Mr. Curtis
gave it out that he did not appoint one
of them because they were unable to
agree among themselves.
Mr.. Curtis today also recommended
the appointment of Fred Willard to be
postmaster at Leavenworth, thus de-
posing D. r. Anthony, jr.
This action follows exactly the course
as outlined in the State Journal of
Tuesday evening. Mr.. Curtis decided
that to carry Atchison county it was
Necessary to reappOint Chisham but he
concluded that he does not need the
Anthonys to carry Leavenworth county
on account of his strong hold with the
old soldiers.
This action is all the outgrowth of Mr.
Curtis becoming entangled with the
Burton faction at Wichita. He told D.
r. Anthony, Jr.. who is postmaster at
LeavenWOrth that he would not be re-
appointed unless he voted part of the
delegation for Greer for chairman. An
thony refused

statement to Chisham who also refused

at work within the enclosure The day
and night superintendents do not live
in the eolliery as do many of the other
employees and they are taken to and
from the colliery on a locomotive.
Last night the night superintendent
rode to the colliery safely. A few min
utes later Superintendent Thomas
came out and when about 300 yards
from the breaker. he says, a number OF
men who were in ambush opened fire
on the locomotive. Fortunately the en-

afraid of hurrying things too much.
It was nearly 2 o'clock when the con-
vention assembled again after dinner.
The committees reported and ten -
pOrary organization was made per
manent.
The resolutions committee was still
at work and while waiting for it, the
convention proceeded with the presen-

Cherokee county presented the name of
George W. Wheatlev. "All the world, -
he paraphrased, loves a fighter and
the man whom I shall name is a born
fighter" He told how Wheatley had
