his senses would ask such a question.
He looked at the Sun correspondent
for moment and then fairly explod-
ed:
Leave that - cur in In
diana to live? Well, not by damned
sight. The Democratic party of Kahn
lucky will get the cur back to Kahn
lucky legally. and when we git him
there, We'll try him legally, convict
him legally and hang him legally. You
heard what I'm telling you, sub Wen
hang him legally. If we don't get him
from this Governor of Indiana we'll
get him from the next. The Republi-
can party will have to give him up to
us sooner or later. But l should not
wonder but there'd be hell of rum
pus in that party before we get him.
Get him, though, we will, and We'll get
him legally. He's leading the life of a
cur and vagabond. He's sellin' in
surance and practicin' law, but he
hasn't had an easy's nights rest since
ne caused William Goebel to be shot
down at my side. We got the man
who fired the shot and gave him i'm
prisonment for life. We got Caleb
Powers and gave him life Wen get
Iaylor and We'll hang him-hang him
as suah as theah's a God in heaven.
he brought those mountaineers to
frankfort, the toughest men in the
state, who nevah had three kinds of
feed in their stomachs at one time be-
ION and who nevah befoh drank a drop
OF red whiskey. He brought those men
to Frankfort to kill Goebel. and if
necessary, or if it happened to be
Taylor did, and We'll hang him fob
1t. But, mind you, We'll do it, legally"
Were you pretty well armed that
day, Colonel?" asked the Sun CORE
spondent
Il believe 1 was, sub. l sometimes
carry firearm in the State of Kahn
lucky, but nevah outside it; nevah,
sub. But do you know, my son, the
knowledge of the proper use of fire
arms in this country is sadly neglect
ed? The art of handling and discharg-
ing firearms ought to be taught in the
public schools. like they teach the A,
B, c. Every boy and girl ought to
know the art. 1t is a great and a no.
Bile art, sub If it were taught to our
boys, our army would be made UP of
men who would kill when they shot.
If it were taught to our girls, they
could defend themselves when their

Col. Jack was a great drawing card
at the Grand Union all the afternoon.
Natives and visitors wanted to have a
look at the man who, by common re-
port, is a walking arsenal and who
eats gunpowder and swallows bowie
knives, but he was no greater attrac-
ton at his hotel than young Z. Am
brose Clark was in the United States.
Clark is the youngest son of Mrs. AL
fred Corning Clark, who is going to
marry Bishop Potter. There WAS no
satisfactory way of determining Just
whether the people were asking after
the young man for the sake Of seeing
what the son of his mother looked like,
or whether it was to get a. look at the
betrothed of a young, woman who Is
reported to have forbidden her lover
to ride in any more steeplechaseS. 1t
is just possible that the "peepul.' as
Congressman SulZer would say, want
ed really to get an eye on a young
man, 81 years old, whose independent
fortune is estimated at $40, 900.
Young Clark is q delicate-looking lac
with chest hollow enough for a con
sumptive. But he knows how to ride
horses over the jumps. He had the
mount on his horse Rowdy in the
BeVerwyck Steeplechase on Saturday
and he rode as well as veteran pro-
fessional. After the race he was asked
how he had the temerity to ride after
his fiancee, Miss Stokes, had forbid
den him to go again over the Jumps
after their engagement was announc-
ed"
"Oh, that story was all moonshine.' .
said the young man. Miss Stokes ncv-
er did anything of the kind, and be-
sides, no woman would get 50 bossy
before she was married"
A paragraph was printed the other
day to the effect that "Biff" Ellison
had been married here. OF course the
story was not true, as the paragraph
er might have learned had he taken
the trouble to make inquiries. The
man who was married was young Ed
ward Cochran Ellis, the only son OF
the late Edward Ellis, for many years
president of the Ellis Locomotive
Works at Schenectady and a member
of the Republican State Committee
from this district for a long time.
This Ellis family is one of the Oldest,
as it is the wealthiest, in Schenectady
county, and the young mans mother
was very much annoyed over the
marriage. She did not know the
young woman and knew nothing of the
wedding until after it had taken place.
Mr.. and Mrs. Stanton B. Elliott are
at the Grand Union. Before her mar
riage to Mr.. Elliott she was Mrs.
Neame the daughter of William H.
Henriques, for assaulting whom Biff
Ellison was convicted and sentenced
to several years in Sing Sing. She
was married to her first husband in
st. Georges Church, London, in the
autumn of 1889 She was divorced and
year or two ago married Elliott.
