A Much Needed Rain.

The excessive heat Of the last week
was broken Saturday night by q good
rain, which measured about half
inch.
The clouds that hung over the city
all day seemed to bank themselves
suddenly in the west about six o'clock
and swept down with wind and rain
a few minutes later. The wind lasted
only little while but the rain kept
up until about eight o'clock giving
the streets and lawns good soaking
and cooling the atmosphere greatly.
The rain extended from few miles
south to about ten miles north Of
here. At Industry there was just
enough to lay the dust.

Judge Flack Hurt.

Judge Flack hitched up his family
horse Monday morning at his home IL
Enterprise and started on his daily
trip to Abilene but met with q pain
full accident before he had gone far
He had reached the Feighley farm
about two miles west Of Enterprise
when a dog that was following a rail
road camp rushed out and barked al
the horse, frightening it and causing
it to turn suddenly and run into q
telephone post, throwing the judge
out and breaking one Of his ribs.
The horse broke away from the
buggy and started up the road but
was caught by one Of the men on the
Feighley place, who went back and
found the judge. He hitched the
horse to another buggy and took him
to Enterprise where he is resting
easily, although the injury is very
annoying one.
His Abilene friends hope bis re-
covery will be a speedy one and that
he will be in his Office in few days.

Jas. A. Carter, who has been EN-
ployed at W. A. Landes' barber shoE
for about two years, left town Mon
day morning on the plug and no one

gone SO early.
When Mr.. Landes reached his shop
he found Carter's tools gone and q
letter for himself and one for Mrs.

he would be dead as he was discour-
aged and intended taking his life.

street and expressed surprise that ne
was leaving SO soon and also saying
that 1t would be impossible for her
to 90 with him at this time on ac-
count Of the heat and some work she
had TO do.
The young lady was shown the
letter by Mrs. Carter and although
denying having written it, at first,
finally admitted she had but refused
to tell where Mr.. Carter intended to
go.
A couple Of weeks ago Carter SOLD

GETTING BETTER SERVICE.
Pension Commissioner Ware Is Doing
Good Work.

In an editorial, the National Tri'
bune, Of Washington, organ OF the q.
A. R., highly commends the first
years administration OF the pension
office by E. F. Ware. 1t shows that
during the year 1S2,s29 claims were
allowed and 1890 rejected -the re-
jected being mostly in cases of apPli
cation for an increase. This is 49,
900 more claims allowed than In the
last year Of Commissioner Evans, and
5000 fewer rejected. The Tribune
says: "In spite Of the great advance
in the number Of lallowances. the total
OF the pension roll is still under the
1000, 900 mark, owing to the great
increase in mortality. The loss to
the pension roll during the year will
probably, come close to 10000.
Commissioner Ware has succeeded 10
getting more good work out Of the
clerical force OF the pension bureau
than any Of his predecessors, and this
without overwork, but by proper
and the exercise OF UNI
uaual executive ability"

MULLINS IS CAPTURED.
L. P. Folck Of Junction City Recog
nized Him.

Gilbert Mullins, the leader OF the
prisoners who assaulted Sheriff feeso
at Junction City Saturday morning
and effected their escape was cap
tured there yesterday afternoon about
8 o'clock by citizen, L. Z. folck'
When United States Marshal Mackey
arrived there Saturday noon, ne
placed the posses and the soldiers at
short intervals across the country
through which Mullins would have to
pass were he to leave the timber in
which he was hiding. This move
ment placed Mullins between the
posses and the river. Mullins says
he saw the citizens and soldiers going
out to head him of. He knew that
it was impossible for him to get by
the guards without being seen and ne
turned back to town.
L. P. Folck, who captured Mullins,
was in his stable at work when the
convict walked up and asked the way
to the home Of young man who had
been imprisoned in the county Jail
a short time while Mullins was there.
Mr., Folck, as soon as he saw the
stranger, was convinced that he was
Gilbert Mullins. He called an en-
ploye and directed that the stranger
be shown the way. As soon as the
two men had started, Folck went into
his house and armed himself and
followed Mullins. He succeeded ia
keeping out OF the convict's sight
until he was within fifty yards OF him.
Mullins started to run when he saw
Folck approaching. Mr., Folck shot
at him as he leaped fence and the
desperate fell, but he got up imme-
diately and ran faster than before.
He ran into corn field several hum
dred yards and Folck who was close
behind, shot again. Mullins got
down and crawed under some farm
ing implements. When Mr.. Folck
came up to him be surrendered, and
without further resistance was soon
placed in his old cell in the county
jail. He was not injured by the shots
that were fired at him, but was great
ly excited. He had no weapons on
him.
Two hundred dollars had been
offered for his capture.
