one of the most sensational in it's facts
of any of the many during those early
times in this section. The whole
trouble resulted from an idea that
Burris got that De Witt Perry was too
intimate with his iwfe. 1t was on the
goth of November and Perry as stop
ping at the home of Mrs. A. Fuller,
Glendale, Wis, where Mrs. Burris was
also boarding. Perry left his board
ing place early in the morning and
Burris, who had been watching for
him, took short cut to point on the
road where he knew Perry would pass.
When the latter came up Burris took
deliberate aim and shot Perry in the
back, the ball going through the body
and coming out at the right breast.
The body was then dragged over the
frosty ground into the woods and con-
cealed.
Burris was suspected and after ar
rest confessed, giving the particulars
of the crime in detail Romano Bum,
then circuit judge, now United States
district judge, sentenced him to life
Imprisonment.

give up her mother and remained with
her rather than leave her Ohio home

Caughy made no defense to the suit,
but she wrote several letters to the
court and so did her lawyers. She did

MANY POSSIBLE PRESIDENTS.
But Regents No Nearer Selection After
Meeting.
Madison. Ian

Madison, Jan. %.
By the meeting of the board of re-
gents, held yesterday afternoon in the
law building, the matter of the selec-
ton Of president of the university was
no further advanced. The committee
which has the selection of the chief
executive of the states educational IN
stitution made no formal report and the
matter was not discussed in the meet
ing. All of the members of the board
were very reticent about the matter
when approached and little could be
learned as to the possibilities: From
what has TRANSFERRED during the past
few weeks however it seems that there
have been about 20 men before the
board at one time or another and that
from this number the board has not
made any approach toward selection.
Among the most prominent of these
are DR.. Benjamin Ide Wheeler of Cali
fornia, President James w. 'Bashford
of Ohio Wesleyan university, Prof E.
A. Birge, Superintendent L. D. Harvey
and others. Some have made no per-
sOnal application but have been urged
by friends and the board has received
many letters concerning different
men.
In regard to the petition received
from the girls at the hall respecting
the food served at the hall table, the
board acted on the advice of the COM
mittee with DR.. Frisby as chair
man, and left the matter over until
called for again. 1t is considered a
dead issue by the board and all con-
cerned.

Panama, Colombia, Jan. 22.-An ex-
change of prisoners was responsible
for Mondays disaster to the govern
ment. From the former the reVolu-
tionists heard of the plans Of the gov
eminent. The Padilla, which was re-
Gently painted white so as to deceive
the government officials as to her
identity, advanced unrecognized to
spot 800 meters from Lautaro and be-
gan firing. The position of the Lau-
taro prevented her using her two big
guns mounted forward, but she re-
turned the Padilla's fire with her
small after guns. Her gunner, how
ever, was the first man killed. The
foreign crew of the Lautaro refused
to obey orders. General Alban, who
displayed great courage, was shot off
of the steamers deck. The capture of
Panama by the revolutionists is con-
sidered impossible owing to the num-
Der of government troops there.

"oLD MAN" KETCHAM.
Stories About the "Nearness" of
Noted Ohio Character.

NOlCu OilIS SIl6i
"Old man Ketcham, the father Of
George M. Ketcham, who owns this
record breaking trotter Cresceus,"
said a westerner to a New York Mail
and Express reporter at Brighton
Beach after a great race, twas one of
the most prominent characters in
Toledo years ago, just as he was
about the richest man in that town.
He was as close as he was rich, and
many stories are told about his
methods which made him a rich man.
Some time before he died he had
aassed about all the wealth to be had
in that vicinity and had nothing to do
but see that it didn't get away from
him and to enjoy himself in his own
peculiar way. The things he uesd to
of bob-tail horse cars, without con-
ductors, when passengers used to
drop their nickels in the slot in the
forward end Of the car. The COM
pany, however, sold six tickets for a
quarter, and old Ketcham used to buy

get on a car and ride all day, sitting
next to the SLOT When a passenger
got on he would offer to put his or
her nickel in the box He promptly
pocketed the nickel and deposited a
ticket purchased at reduced rates.
''His boys were not entirely chips of,
the old block, and used to make the
money fly when they got it. The old
man didn't wear such awfully stun
ming toys, and one day they decided
he ought to have new ove1coat. So
they went to swell tailor and told
him to build coat for their father,
charge him $40 for it and the, rest to
them. The coat was beauty and
cost $85. Ketcham put it on and
went down town.
GA friend met him on the street
and nearly fell dead when he saw the
beautiful togs on old Ketcham.
"'Say, he said, where did you get
it,?
"'All right, isn't it?' said Ketcham.
Bet you can't guess what I paid for
it,
"'Well,' said the man, not cent
less than $75.'
"'Give you $15,' says the man.
It's yours says Ketcham, and I'm
blessed if he didn't peel it off and
hand it over. You can imagine the
feelings of the boys.
ooh, yes, / know that story has
been told about others, but it began
right out in Toledo.
"But old Ketcham was all right.
Me met fool friends one day who
limited that when he was dead his
boys would throw away all has money
"'Well,' said the old man with
grim chuckle, if they have as much
fun spending it as l have had getting
it they're welcome"

San Francisco, Jan. 22.-Governor
General Taft, who arrived from Ma
Mia Monday night, landed yesterday
afternoon. Discussing the Philippine
conditions he said:
81 wish the press would correct the
impression that there is war on all
the islands. The instruction is con-
fined to two localities -Batangas and
Samar. This morning | received a
cable from General Wright, acting
governor in my absence. 1t said that
owing to General Bells repressive
measures the trouble in Batangas is
being uuieted and that 700 rifles have
been surrendered and as there are
only LOO to 1900 rifles in the prov
ince there is nc doubt Batangas will
be as peaceful as any of the other
provinces.
81 wish to impress upon everybody
that the civil government is success.
There is a strong peace party in the
islands and it is composed Of the
most influential men among the Fill
pinos. They are working earnestly
and zealously toward bringing about
happy relations between their country
men and the government. There are
thirty-five provinces capable of gov
eminent. The only place where there
is trouble is ir the island of Samar"
Governor Taft expects to return to
the islands about March 1.
