SON OF MIKE coNNoRs
Father of Young Man Arrested at
Howard Was Unique Character.

Howard, Kan, Jan. 12.-Connors, the
Moline young man who is awaiting trial
for assault and battery in this city, is a
son Of Mike Connors, who was a charac-
ter OF the town of Old Boston, away back
in the days of 1872. In those days he
was a bachelor. and the most extremely
bashful Irishman farmer, 1T is said, in
the country round. He was frequent
visitor at Pat Nulty's saloon, the con-
vivial headquarters of that neighborhood,
though he was not heavy drinker. He
once participated in a Jig dancing con-
test, in which Bill Frazier VIM Hall,
Tom Chapman and others also took part,
and Mike won the prize. He could go
more PAGES and rag off more steps than
any country Jig dancer in the country.
Mike afterwards married, and was the
father OF several children, but is now
dead. Many of the old Bostonians will
remember Mike Connors

MATTE ON STATEHOOD
Oklahoma Justice Says Oklahoma
Should Be Admitted.

Kansas City, Jan. 1S.-John L. McAtee
of Enid, one Of the associate justices Of
the supreme court OF Oklahoma. was a
visitor in the city yesterday.
Oklahoma is eager for statehood said
Judge McAtee. Taking the condition OF
other territories when admitted as a pre-
cedent. Oklahoma answers all Of the re-
quirements. we are greater. as regards
population. wealth and development along
ali lines than any territory has been ad-
mitted. I think, though, there is some
question about the passage of the state
hood bill by the present congress because
the Indian territory is not yet ready for
admission and union OF the two territor-
les as one state is inevitable"
Judge McAtee' enthusiasm on the state
hood question Is in spite OF the fact that
the position he holds is appointive and
must remain so so long as Oklahoma IS a
territory.

Mrs. Stanley Is Held Pending Inquiry
Into Ottawa Mans Death.

lnIO OLldWd w dfi GCGlIs
Ottawa. Kan. Jan. 12.-During the cor
oners investigation today into the death
Of James Booth, the old man whose body
was found in well here Saturday the
dead mans housekeeper, Mrs. Tabor
identified a watch found in Mrs. Marie
Stanley's room at Topeka as the property
of Booth. 1t had, she said, been in his
possession as late as the evening before
ne was killed. Both had been murdered
and robbed. Mrs. Stanley. her mother.
Mrs. Mccoy. and two younger members
of the Mccoy family, all of whom are
under arrest, refused to testify today.
Mrs Marie Stanley was arrested in To-
peka yesterday and brought here.
She went direct from here yester-
day to the home Of an uncle, VIII
liam Bendure, in Kansas City. Kansas,
where she remained until Saturday after
noon, when she left saying she was going
to Topeka in search of employment. After
she left the Bendure home her uncle read
of the murder and informed Sheriff Men
denhall The sheriff went to Topeka and
found Mrs. Stanley at hotel.
The body of James Booth was found
Saturday in well on the premises Of
Mrs Mccoy in Ottawa. The mother and
four children were arrested that day. The
oldest daughter, Mrs. Stanley, left Ottawa
Saturday on an early train. It is believ-
ed the crime was committed in the Mccoy
kitchen. Robbery was evidently the pur-
pose of the person who killed booth His
pockets were empty.
Mrs Stanley was with the sheriff and
states attorney here today for two hours
but gave no information that would i'm
plicate any one. Her story tailed with
the one her mother told. \ dispatch from
Topeka this afternoon said that watch
was found in the room occupied by Mrs
Stanley When she was asked what she
knew about it she said It was a watch she
forgot in her excitement yesterday She
said that it was given her by Booth the
day before she left. The state claims 70
have evidence TO prove that Booth was
seen with his watch the evening before
the murder.
Coroner Haggert searched Mrs stan
ley's baggage today and found a dress
skirt with what appear to De blood stains
on the front. other stains were found on
the sleeves of the dress The state claims
the woman wore this dress Friday night
A chemical examination OF these stains
Is now being made.
