KANSAS FARMER
FELL. AMONG THIEVES
And Truing to Beat His Wau on a
Railroad Train Got Himself
Into Trouble

WASHINGTON, Ind, Sept. 10
August Hackmeister, a well to do
German farmer of Osborne county
Kansas, is locked up in the Jail here
on charge of breaking into a sealed
box car on the Baltimore & Ohio
Southwestern railway. A trip to Gin
cinnati, Ohio, to visit his sweetheart
is responsible for all his troubles. He
left his home in Kansas last Friday,
and soon after his arrival in Cincin-
natl he was robbed by two men of all
the money on his person. He knew
no one in Cincinnati except the young
lady he was visiting, and rather than
tell her of his financial embarrassment
he decided to beat his way home. He
got as far as Georgia, Indiana, and
when a Baltimore & Ohio train pulled
into the little town he opened the door
of box car and crawled in. Some of
the trainmen saw him enter and,
thinking him a thief, they closed the
door and locked him in. He was
turned over to the police upon the
trains arrival in this city. In his
pocket was found warranty deed TO
230 acres of land in Osborne county,
Kansas. The deed shows that Hack
meister paid $1,000 for the land.

LOST FOR 10 YEARS
Left Home With a Lot Of Moneu to
Buy Cattle and Became a Pau
per, Though Owning LARGE
interests at Old Home

DENVER. Colo, Sept IA man
calling himself Williams left the
county poor farm three weeks ago and
became professional mendicant. He
has just been Identified as George Nip
per, wealthy cattaeman who LEFT
Claremore, Indian Territory. teA
years ago with large amount of cash
in order to go to Houston, Texas, fn-
the purchase Of cattle.
From the time that Nipper left his
home in Claremore until now he has
never been seen by any of his friends
to be recognized by them. Last week,
however, a man from Claremore wa
in this city, and while walking down
SiXtenth street was accosted by beg
gar. The stranger paid no attention
at first, but upon a second appeal no
looked at the man and was startled to
find that the beggar bore the appear
ance of Nipper. On being asked il
his name was not Nipper, the mendi-
cant strongly denied that such was
the case. but the Claremore visitor
was positive, and he sent to Claremoce
for T. Chambers, who was Nipper's
former partner in the cattle business
in Indian Territory.
Chambers arrived here yesterday
and found an Irishman, about so years
of age, smooth-faced, and after one
look at the old cattleman was abba
last night to send back to his home in
Claremore the following laconic tele-
gram, 'It is Nipper."
And so the ten years mystery has
been solved in part, though the COM
plete history of the man during that
time is not now known and may re-
main locked up in the brain OF the
poor old man, who is partially parai-
yzed. It is known that Nipper has
been in this city for quite while a-s
he has been at the county poor farm
for many long months.
He says that he has suffered from
PARALYSIS for nine of the ten years he
has been missing. He has no recot-
lection of his old home at Claremore:
he does not recall his friends VINO
flocked about him there when he hao
all his wealth and all the good things
that he desired. Nor does he remem-
Der the fact that at that time he was
possessed of a fortune.
Now that he has been discovered ana
friends have identified him, it is likely
that everything will be done to restore
him to his right mind, and If he re-
covers he will find in Claremore q
large part Of his fortune still awaiting
him.
II am certain the man is Nipper..
said Mr.. Chambers last night. i
would know him among ten thousand.

REHDy FOR GRSTING
VIII Be Erected in WASHINGTON Near
SPOT Where General Reviewed
Victorious HrmU

WASHINGTON b. c., Sept 49,
The bronze equestrian statue of Gen.
eral William Tecumseh Sherman will
re cast at the Elmwood foundry, Prov.
idence, Rhode Island, within a few
days. The plaster model, begun by
Rhol-Smith and completed by LauritZ
Jenson, has been pronounced salts
factory. A number of military men
inspected the model in position re-
Gently, and declared the proportions
to be absolutely correct.
The statue will stand just south of
the treasury building, where the pedes-
tai has been erected for some time.
Early completion of the statue was
prevented by the death of Rohl-Smith
the sculptor.
The attitude of the horse and rider
were suggested by the fact that near
the spot where the statue will be erect
ed General Sherman reviewed the
Union army as it passed down Penn
sylvania avenue returning from the
civil war. The horse is sharply refined
in and the general is gazing with ar
interested expression with a prouc
poise of the head, as If looking at mer
whom he had led to victory.

PREPARING FOR GR6nT
IRRIGATION WORK
Director WdICott OF the Geological
SurVeu Taking a Personal Vi6W
OF th8 Field

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 19.-The
United States geological survey is pre-
pairing the way for putting into oper-
alton the new irrigation law passed
by the late Congress. d. G. Walcott,
director of the survey, is at present in
Montana, taking personal view Of
the points where some of the great
works that are to turn the semi-arid
regions of the west into blooming gar
dens are to be located.
AS the success of irrigation depends
upon the constant supply of water, it
is absolutely necessary to know all the
resources that can be drawn upon.
This factor is of the greatest I'M
portance, as it sets positive limit to
the acreage that can be placed under
cultivation. The low stages must be
very closely scrutinized as they usu-
ally occur in the midst Of the crop
season, when the supply must be abun-
dant and constant.
Another fact that must be carefully
ascertained is the possibility OF In
creasing the supply at low stages by
impounding the spring and freshet
waters in great storage reservoirs,
also the location and cost OF tnese
reservoirs, some of which may be
among the largest and most costly in
the world.
Fortunately, much of this work has
already been accomplished by the di-
vision of photography of the survey.
For ten years that division has been
engaged in a comprehensive study OF
thn colntry'S water resources, with
special reference, in the western
States to the use of the water for
irrigating purposes. AS result the
survey is ready to Immediately COM
mence plans for the construction. and
that is the purpose of the directors
visit to the head waters of many OF
the streams that flow through the
semi-arid regions. 1t is believed that
a very fair report of progress can be
made to Congress next winter paving
the way for additional legislation II
needed.

The representatives of the anthra-

The output for the year just mentioned
is from the papers of this agreement

at the rate of so cents per ton.
"On motion, the meeting resolved
that the price of each could be immedi-
