Former Greeley Man in Trouble.

Elmer E. Brown, formerly principal of the
Greeley schools, was mixed up in shooting
scrape at Oklahoma City, the other day, and,
in consequence, he is in Jail. When Brown
lived at Greeley, he was quiet, harmless, gen
tlemanly fellow, and this act of mis- is certain
ly surprising. The following dispatch from
Oklahoma City explains the matter:
Oklahoma City, June IS.-W. T. McMichael,
who shot and killed E. w. johnson, yesterday
morning, as the result of quarrel over con-
tested land claim, died this morning, at 9
O'Clock, from his wound. E. E. Brown, editor
of the Times Journal, who took part in the
shooting, was arrested last night, on the charge
of shooting at McMchael with intent to kill.
The preliminary examination will be to-mor-
row. To-day, when it became known that
McMichael had died, Brown was arrested by
the officers, and is now held without bail.
MANY citizens visited Brown to-day, and offer
to 90 on his bond. The body of johnson was
sent to his home at Cushing, Ok, this morn
ing, for burial. Several Spanish American war
veterans accompanied the body.
William Barry, who claims Sedalia, Mo-, as
his home stated at the coroner's inquest over
the McMichael killing, that Brown approached
him on Broadway, in this city, several months
ago, and offered him $4,000 to kill McMichael,
and then divide the money from. the sale of
McMichae's contested claim.

Appeal to Reason
W.R. Andrews, of Grand Rapids, Mich, at
a recent toast, got off the following appeal to
the Filipinos:
sYou Filipnos don't know what you are
missing by not wanting to become citizens OF
this grand country of ours. There isn't any
thing like it under the sun. You ought to send
delegation over to see us-the land of the
free-land of fine churches and 10000 licensed
saloons; Bibles, forts and guns, houses of pros
titution, millionaires and paupers; theologians
and thieves; liberalists and liars; politicians
and poverty; Christians anG chain-gangs;
schools and scalawags; trusts and tramps;
money and misery; homes and hunger; virtue
and vice; land where you can get good
Bible for fifteen cents or bad drink of whisky
for five cents; where we have man in congress
with three wives and lot in the penitentiary
for having two wives; where some men make
sausage out of their wives and some want to
eat them raw; where we make bologna out of
dogs, canned beef out of horses and sick cows,
and corpses out of the people who eat it; where
we put man in Jail for not having the means
of support, and on the rock-pile for asking for
lob of work; where we license bawdy-houses
and fine men for preaching Christ on the street
to make laws, and supreme court of nine men
to set them aside; where good whisky makes
bad men and bad men make good whisky;
where newspapers are paid for suppressing the
truth and made rich for teaching lie; where
professors draw their convictions from the same
place they do their salaries; where preachers
are paid $25 900 year to dodge the Devil and
tickle the ears of the wealthy: where business
consists of getting hold of property in any way
that won't land you in the ,penitentiary; where
trusts 'hold up and poverty holds down;
where men vote for what they do not want for
fear they won't get what they do want by vot-
ing for it, where girl who goes wrong is
made an outcast, and her male partner -four
ishes as gentleman; where women wear false
hair and men dock their horse tails; where
the political wire. puller has displaced the patri-
otto statesman; where men vote for thing one
day and 'cuss' it 364 days; where we have
prayers on the floor of our national capitol and

bury statesman who is rich, and $40 to put
away working man who is poor; where to be
virtuous is to be lonesome, and to be honest is
to be crank; where we sit on the safety-valve
of energy and pull wide open the throttle of
conscience; where gold is substance-the one
thing sought for; where we pay $4,000 for
dog and fifteen cents dozen to poor woman
for making shirts; where we teach the until
tored' Indian eternal life from the Bible and kill
him off with bad whisky; where we put man
in Jail for stealing loaf of bread, and in con-
gress for stealing a railroad; where the check
book talks, sin walks in broad daylight, justice
IS asleep, crime runs amuck, corruption perme-
ates our whole social and political fabric, and
