time and was still there when /
came back. After that some one
stole my hat and l did not get
another one until l got to lola.
"After awhile the train came
and we went to lola. did not see
the man Dickey at all. l was not
drunk and know nothing of the
murder" When asked if he owned
the shoes he then had on when he
left Vinitia, he said he did and said
further he had walked IN them every
day. When seen in Jail next morn
ing however he said he bought the
shoes in Pittsburg from man who
worked in a livery barn. This
question of shoes is a vital point
and will probably cause Willoughby
some trouble when the case comes
to trial.
Willoughby also told two differ
ent stories regarding the liquor he
drank while here. When question
ed the second time about it he said
he had more than one drink. He
also gets confused when pressed re-
garding the route he took in coming
here and there is also about ten
days which he cannot or will not
account for. The case promises tc
be a sensational one and some very
dirty testimony. may be looked. for
The couple bear up remarkably wei
under such an awful charge and he
is at times even jovial. In the
court loom Friday she was cool anC
collected, while he was more Of
less nervous.
No break down is looked fol
from either one. New develop
ments may be looked for soon il
the case and these development
will decide in a measure their con
nection, if any, with the crime.

Old Settlers Reunion.

The old settlers organization of
the Brewster neighborhood, south
west of carlton, held its annual
picnic and reunion, last Tuesday in
the fine catalpa grove surrounding
the school house. 1t was our pleas
ure, due to the courtesy of S. w.
Brewster to be there.
We reached the locality just in
time to sit down to most bount-
eous dinner prepared by the good
women of the locality. Mr.. Brew
ster of course, did ample justice to
the dinner, the editors great mod
esty among so many good looking
young ladies precluded the possibil-
ity of his doing justice to the tempt.
ing lay out. We were much pleased
to meet these people and note the
many signs of prosperity among
them. We scarcely ever met bet
ter looking, better dressed, better
behaved and brighter looking set OF
people.
A very interesting literary ard
musical program was rendered.
! The editor; of course, delivered the
principal address OF the occasion,
which abounded in wit, wind and
wisdom. The wit and wisdom were
supplied bv the imagination of the
crowd. Two professionals were
down from the. Agricultural college
and made interesting talks, especial
ly Mrs. H. Calvin. Her talk to the
mothers was full of practical sug-
gestions and common sense idea.
Mr.. S. w. Brewster made very
interesting talk, full of enthusiasm
and earnest 2leadings for niger
ideals and more lofty aspirations
among the young, urging the nee
essity of broader education. Mr..
Sid Brewster made some very SEN
sible remarks In the line of public
needs. Charley Foetisch and sew
eral others made good short talks
under the head of Experiences. "
Recitations were rendered in a
crediable manner by Miss Effie
Dunsmore and Willard Watt. Splen-
did music was furnished by Mrs.
G., M. Roster and Bessie. Walker
and the carlton orchestra. All
told we enjoyed the day very much
and everybody seemed to be in the
very happiest mood. Surely with
the prosperity that has come to The
old settlers in the Brewster anc
carlton neighborhoods, they have
great reason to rejoice and be thank
full and these annual reunions art
beautiful and appropriate tribute
of joyous hearts to the giver of al
good. DR.. Vanmeter acted a
chairman and Ad Alleman as secre-
tary of the meeting.

Evidence in the Dickey Case.

Us Sam Willoughby guilty of kill
ing E. V. Dickey? is just now a
question that is agitating the minds
of the people of Chanute and vicin-
ity. The facts in the case are as
follows:
Willoughby and the woman were
around the depot the night of the
murder until nearly morning. This
they both readily admit. Will
oughby had been drinking some.
This he also admits, but claims
that at no time was he drunk or
even near it. His story as told by
himself to reporter of the TINES
is as follows:
81 have worked the last two years
in Vinitia, l. T., in livery barn.
L met this woman about three
months ago. She was working in a
hotel at that time, in the same town.
We decided to come back to Kan
sas and about month ago we start

walk all the way. AT Erie l got a
job threshing and we stayed there
ten days. Then we came on to
Chanute to take IN the fair. had
just S.. 90 when we got here. That
was Thursday, Aug. aS.
awe went to the fair in the after
noon and went to the depot about
dark. l then bought two tickets to
lola and had As or soc left and that
is all the money had when we go'
to lola. The woman did not have
a penny. When here we stayed
around the depot and some fellow
stole her umbrella. l told the
police about it and wanted to have
the fellow arrested. After that
went to sleep in the depot waiting
room. I awoke at about IL o'clocl

II. Thomas Insane.

Mr.. H. @. Thomas, of Bartelsville,
1. T., who has been IN Chanute most
of the time since the killing OF e. V.
Dickey, and who has done everything
in his power to fathOm the mystery
surrounding the case, became insane
Saturday morning. The man while
here hardly slept at all, devOting his
entire time and giving his mind over
to the case.
His actions for the last few days
were those of a man who seemed
separated from himself. He had a
theory that by assuming disguise he
could mix with the loose character:
that infest the railroad yards arc
perhaps learn something bearing d.
rectly upon the case. Mr.. Thoma!
while here created many friends by
his efforts Ia trying to run the guilty
parties to earth aud the people of th'
city sincerity hope that he will speed
lily recover his mind.

The Populist party of Illinois,
realizing the futility of their max
ing any fight for political place, de-
cided not to put out a ticket but
satisfied themselves with a set OF
resolutions. We quote below one
of the resolutions and commend its
hearty consideration by our Dem.
ocratic and Populistic friends Of
Kansas:
We look on the Republican party
with its gold standard and its bank
ing policy as our open enemy, with nC
intention of coDcealing its purpose.
We look on the Democratic party as 9
party of barter and sale, its principa
object being to get office, with its his
tory OF fusion, broken promises, In
trigue and deceit, as the secret
enemy OF the Popuiist party. While
the Republican party does something
and raises HI, the Democratic party
raises HI and does nothing.
