Dispute Between Sherihs Over Re
ward For Capture. q

Cottonwood Falls. Kas., July THE
man who was arrested here Saturday
afternoon by Marshal Brandley on the
charge of stealing the bicycle he rode. at
the request of the Emporia authorities,
proves to be very interesting prisoner.
He says he is one of a number of fed
eral soldiers who escaped from the guard
house at Fort Leavenworth a few days
ago. He had fifteen months to serve and
his name is J. o. Noble. To substantiate
this he shows a slight wound in the top
of his head which was inflicted by one
of the guards when he was escaping. This
accounts for the desperate chances he ran
in trying to escape from Marshal Brand
ley. Noble was taken to Emporia to be
tried there. 1t is not known whether a
case of grand larceny can be made
against him not. Sheriff Beach of this
county argued that the charge of escaping
from the federal authorities was superior
to that lodged against Noble by the offic-
ers, and as the reward in the former case
was $50, Beach showed a disposition to
keep the prisoner. However upon the adj
vice of the county attorney and promise
from the Emporia authorities that they
would turn Noble oyer to him in case the
federal charges were paramount to the
other, Beach let him go. He has written
to Fort Leavenworth for a ruling in the
case

Populists Meet Tonight to Elect
a Chairman.
There Are Six Men Who Want
the Place.
1T MAY BE HOFFMAN.
Enterprise Miller Believed to Be
i'm the Lead.
FusiOnists Seeking Opponent for
Congressman Curtis.

The Populist and Democratic state
central committees will meet at the
Throop tonight and arrange prelirn-
inaries for the coming campaign. Prac-
tically a full attendance is expected.
The first thing the Populists will do
will be to organize, and more interest
centers around the election of a state
chairman than anything else. Six cam
didates for this place have developed.
They are follows:
G. B. Hoffman of Enterprise.
A. NJ. Harvey of Topeka.
H. N. Gaines of Topeka.
w. ]. Babb of Wichita
Taylor Riddle of Marion.
Grant Harrington of Hiawatha.
1t is claimed that Hoffman and Rid
die are in the lead. Hoffman is not
pushing his candidacy himself-in fact
it is not certain that he even wants
the place, but his friends are pushing
him as a compromise candidate between
the two factions of the party and to
appeaSe those who were opposed to 60
ing into the Democratic party.
On the other hand the Democrats want
Riddle or some one with his views
elected chairman, so as to make the
y ocrats complete. Riddle was the orig
'nator of the scheme for the Populists
% go into the DEN ocratic party and
take control of it, and he has always
favored this plan. The Democrats urge
that the Populist chairman should be
in harmony with the Democrats so that
there may be no friction in the joint
campaign.
There appears to be no opposition to
the reelection Of John Curran as secre-
tary of the committee.
After the Populist committee has or
ganized. joint campaign committee of
four or five members from the Demo-
cratic and Populist state comm ittees
will be selected to run the campaign.
The two committees will probably main
tain their headquarters together or join
ing one another.
or public instruction will also have to
be selected to take the place of F. M.
Powell. OF Nickerson, who declined the
nomination.
The two committees will prepare their
official nomination papers, compare
them to see that both agree as to in
itials, spelling Of names and residences
Gratis will first file their ticket with the
secretary of state and then the Popu-
lists will offer theirs for fling.
Since such a vigorous fight against
Congressman Curtis has arisen at Leav-
enworth considerable interest has arisen
among the fusionists as to the nominal
ton of a candidate to run against Cur
It's Two years ago Mr.. Curtis had a
majority of something like 5000, which
is not very promising thing for a
fusion candidate to go up against, but
since there is vigorous fight in the
Republican ranks the fusionists think
the right kind OF man could very
materially reduce Curtis majority.
The Shawnee county Populists have
been talking of Offering Major John
Brown, once a Republican county clerk
or Shawnee county, as a suitable VIC
tim for the sacrifice. Major Brown is e

GODDARD SAVES MONEY.
Turns Back More Than Half His Con
tingent Fund.

Attorney General GODDARD Is rather
proud Of the record he has made in
the expenditure Of his contingent fund
during the past year. The legislature
allowed him $1,000 to cover the purchase
of law books, postage, travelling expen-
ses, and incidentals of various kinds.
He spent only $S9s.89 of it, turning back
into the treasury $1,1O411. He thinks
this is pretty good record for an Off
Ger who is not candidate for re-elec-
ton and who expects to become only a
private citizen after his term of office
expires.
Governor Stanley spent only 81, 500 of
tn $500 allowed him, turning back ST.
600 into the treasury.

CHAMBERLAIN HURT.
British Colonial Secretary Sus-

London. July THE colonial secres
tary, Joseph Chamberlain, was some
what severely cut on the head this af
ternoon as the result of a cab accident
in Whitehall.
The secretary's hanson was passing
through the Canadian arch, when the
horse slipped and Mr.. Chamberlain was
precipitated forward with great vio-
lence. His head struck and shattered
the glass front of the cab. When ex-
tricated it was seen that Mr.. Chamber
lain's head was badly lacerated and
bleeding profusely. A policeman helped
the secretary into cab and accom-
panied him to a surgeons office.

CALL A NEW CONVENTION.
Populists Not Satisfied With F. III.
Stahl For Sheriff

About rs members OF the Popuiist
party in Shawnee county held a meet
ing Saturday afternoon in Judge S. III.
Aliens office and decided to call an
other county convention of the Populist
party for July 10 at Trades Assembly
hall for the purpose Of trying to get
together with the Democrats on a. fu-
sion ticket The Democrats will hold a
convention in Topeka on the same day.
The chances are that the Democrats
will fight for a straight Democratic
ticket. The Populists are willing to en-
dorse Stebbins, the Independent nomi-
nee for county attorney, but Stahl, the
Independent nominee for sheriff will
likely not be endorsed by either Demo-
Gratis or PopuliSts.
