FOUND DEAD.
George Dixon Dies Suddenly Alone
and Unattended.

George Dixon Dies Suddenly Alone
and Unattended.
from Thursdays Daily Gazette. ~
George Dixon, for many years a
resident of the city, was found dead
this afternoon in the kitchen of the
Cardwell house in North Twenty
ninth street. The family is absent
from town and he had been sleeping
there and caring for the premises.
The last time he was Ger alive
was last evening, when he was at the
court house, where he spent much of
his idle time in company with AFRO
Battles, the %janitor, and whom he
occasionally assisted. This after
noon his services were needed by Ed.
Dunno and Mr.. Battles volunteered
to go in search of him, as he had not
been about the court house today.
Mr.. Battles went to the Cardwell
place, but was unable to find Dixon
and made inquiry of the neighbors
as to whether they had seen him
about the place. Receiving a mega
tive reply, Mr.. Battles looked into
the window of the kitchen and saw
him lying on a comforter on the floor.
At first glance Mr.. Battles thought
him to be asleep, but on closer in
spection saw that he was dead. A
mass of blood had run from his
mouth and formed a pool about the
feet, showing that death had prob
ably occurred as a result of a hemor-
rhage.
The coroner was notified and took
charge of the body.
Dixon was about 81 years Of age and
a survivor of the war of the rebellion.
He was a single man and as far as
known had no relatives in these parts,
if anywhere.

CLEANED OUT THE PLACE.
Pat Groark Makes Rough House Of
His Home.

AS a result of enc OF the regular
emeutes that punctuate existence in
the Groark household and keep the
neighborhood stirred up a greater part
OF the time, poor, old, legless Pat is
an inmate of the city ruins and must
face mis- honor on the charge of dis
turbing the peace. Although he was
arrested last night, the trouble that
led to it had it's inception the night
before and, as usual, was the out
come of a quarrel between him and
Mrs. Pat over money matters.
Pat claimed that his better half re-
fused to give him enough coin with
with to buy a pair Of shoes to cover
his artificial feet. To overcome the
difficulty and his bare%footedness he
made a collecting tour and when it
was over haa several dollars in his
possession that he collected from
patrons of the town herd, of which
Pat is the keeper. Whether he
bought the shoes Is not known, but
it is on record that he imbibed in
something to warm his inside and

Mrs. Groark went in search of an
officer and wanted Pat arrested. None
of those to whom she appealed would
respond and she went back, and the
war began anew.
Last night Pat presented himself
at the home of Judge Mann and de
manded a warrant for the arrest of his
wife, daughter and their son, saying
they had double-teamed him and beat
en- him with pop bottles, pieces Of
wood and other bric-a-brac. He claim

rant and Pat left.

CATTLE MAN KILLED IN CARBON
COUNTY.
RESULT OF RANGE DISPUTE
Sheriff and Posse on Trail Of Guilty
ones-More Bioodshed
Feared.

from Thursdays Daily Gazette.
Parties who arrived from Red Lodge
last evening brought the news of a
shooting affair which occurred earlier
in the Jay at what is known as the
Dry Head, in the eastern part Of Car
bon county.
Harry Mogan and Link Hanan are
the men accused of having done the
shooting and Edward Morris was the
man whom they shot, as it was report
ed that Morris died of his wounds.
The cause leading up to the affray
was some trouble which grew out of
a lot of cattle belonging to a Wyo-
ming man named Strong, who drove
his herd across the line and ranged
them en- the Dry Head. This some of
the grazers in that section resented
as an intrusion and it was decided
to drive Strong and his stock out of
the country.
One night last week Strong's herd
was driven to the edge of a high preci-
pice overlooking the Big Horn river
and then forced over resulting in
the killing and Gripping Of about
half a hundred. Yesterday morning
Strong and Morris went to where the
stock had been killed and found that
the animals had first been shot and
then rolled over the bluff. While car
rying on their investigation it is
claimed they were fired on by Hanan
and Mogan, who were in ambush.
Strong managed to reach cover and
escaped uninjured, but Morris was
hit. 49,
After the shooting Hanan and Mo-
gan decamped and Morris was TAX
en- to the home of Charles Phelps, a
%halfbreed, who lives on Bovay creek,
on the Crow reservation.
AS soon as the news of the ARRAY
reached Red Lodge Sheriff Potter,
Under Sheriff Gebo and George Bark
er left for the scene of its occurrence.
They arranged for another man to
meet them today and chase will be
given to the two men accused of the
crime, who are said to be trying to
get out of the state.
The place where the shooting oc'
Cured is wild and mountainous and
said to contain many hiding places
from which it would be extremely diff
icult to dislodge the men, should
they decide to resist arrest.
Of the two Hanan seems to bear
the harder reputation and is said to
be a desperate and dangerous man.
likely to make serious trouble to the
officers unless they manage to catch
him off his guard.

FUSION FOR
HOSPITALITY
Democrats and Republicans
to Act in Harmony.
TO CARE FOR VISITORS
And to Manage Details of the
May Conventions.
TO CARE FOR VISITORS

Last evening President Charles David
son of the Chamber of Commerce appoint
ed the following gentlemen to constitute
general committee to take charge of all
matters concerning the Republican and
DoEocratic conventions which will meet
here in May. The committee is made "
of seven Democrats and seven RepubH-
cans, all Of whom viii act as Wichita
men rather than as partisans in their
work. the idea being to treat these con-
ventions from a local standpoint in a
non-partisan way. 1t is a fusion so TO
speak of both Republicans and Demo
Gratis to show the visiting conventions
what a good place Wichita is TO meet in
and how thoroughly harmonious her peo-
pie are, regardless Of politics in the mat
ter Of their hospitality. This committee
on general arrangement for the two con-
ventions will have power 10 appoint sub
committees for any special work that
may be required. The committee is as fol-
lows: 7. g. Fitch, z. T. Allen, George /.
Young, W. A. Minick, D. d. Leahy, J. NJ.
Chain, s. B. Anidon, A c. Jobes, A. z.
Helm, Elmer Reese. ]. Q. Hamilton. J.
H. Stewart, Rufus Cone and Ben Eaton.
In the matter of the Populist state com
mlttee, IL is probable that 1t VIII be held
in Topeka. Judge Babb indicated that
the convention might come here If more
than $500 in ducement was given, but II
is hardly likely that the local people will
give more to a Populist committee with
fewer delegates than they are giving TO
the Republicans and the Democrats. In
fact it is not the policy Of Wichita to
pay so much for any convention it being
more It's policy to pay a conventions eX-
penses, give them entertainment and be
free TO treat them as guests. 1t wants to
have control of its own hospitality.
It is possible that the Populists will not
place their conditions to meet in any To-
cality in the form of a bonus or subsidy,
but, Ike the others. accept the hospitality
and accommodations of whatever city
they may meet in. In that event Wich-
tia will make proposition TO them rather
IN the shape of an invitation than a bid.

MUCH INTEREST IN CASE
Mr.. LoWther Makes Statement
for Eagle Reporter

Arkansas City. March 26.-Though the
Southwest Kansas conference began its
session in Arkansas City today with an
apparent air of harmony. yet underneath
the surface plans are being made for
the prosecution of one of the most senss-
tional heresy trials ever known in the
history Of Kansas AIethodism, and the
FIRST one known in the history Of this con-
ference.
On Thursday morning Rev. Granville
Lowther, pastor Of the Methodist church
at Mcpherson and one of the leading
members of the conference, viii be ar
Taigned on the charge of teaching doc
trines contrary to the creed Of the Meth
odisC church, and in preparation for this
event numerous consultations were held
today by the partsans Of the prosecut ton
and Of the defendant The principal topic
Of conversation among the preachers
present is the heresy trial. and all are
eagerly awaiting the morrow.
Not a word about the case was uttered
81 the regular meeting Of the conference
this morning, except by Rev. J. a. Davis,
presiding elder Of the Mcpherson district,
who spoke Of some preachers falling away
from the faith, but did not mention any
names it was plain. however, that he
had in mind Rev. Mr. Lowther, and
many comments were made on the Incl
dent.
In making his annual report, Rev Mr.
Davis said.
The brethren. as a rule, have stayed
with the old ship and are confidently ex-

occasionally one in our beloved Method
ism. after the type Of DR.. Pearson, in
whose creed there is. perhaps, as much or
more Of Prince Guatam of India, than OF
Christ of Judea; more of Darwin than Of
Moses; more Of physical opinion than OF

10 be smart or famous. rather than hum

their imagnations. The anchor that held
for SO many years has broken loose from

negro. 4 have told something like four

fact, l saw only the arm of my burglar
and that was moving so fast at the time
that did not note the color of it. From
the front Mrs. Mccoy saw the burglar in
the house with the lighted lamp near his
face. and her impression was that he was
a white man, though, of course, she may
have been mistaken"

that creeds are expressions Of thought
which may be regarded as landmarks Of

be formulated so as 70 cover the undis-

What are our views on the atone

The life Of Christ was an example Of
divinity in humanity, prophecy of what
the race is destined to be in the order of
divine progress. The death Of Christ was
the highest example Of sacrifice revealing
the very heart Of God. We are 70 follow
in his footsteps and sacrifice for others in
the same spirit that he sacrificed for Us.
The primary meaning of 'atonement' is
at-one-ment,' and this life and sacri-
fee of Christ are to bring the race into at

pose God to save Us. Infinite love has al

he said It was contained in the ninth ar

I'VE are accounted righteous before

our own works or deservings. Wherefore
that we are saved by faith only is a most
