Is on Pretty Strong Again
Down at Bucklin.
WILL Be FRISCO EXTENSION
Some Claim To Have Inside In
formation and Say It's a
Sure Thing.

" There Is still persistent rumor float.
ing around, especially in the vicinity Of
Bucklin that a Frisco extension will be
built to Buoklin from the southeast to
connect with the Dodge City branch, and
that the Rock Islands track will be ex-
tended from here to Goodland. Some
who claim to have inside information
say that the northwest and southeast
road is certainty. The road from here
to the northwest will open up a new
cattle and wheat country and will as
well traverse our "Oil belt" The Rock
Island will, after all of this happens,
run the western coal, as well as other
freight direct from Bucklin to the south
instead Of hauling 1t around by Herring
ton. The line which is to come to
Dodge City from the northwest will be
another short cut gulfwards and the wise
ones say that it will be mighty valuable
road.
Since the Rock Island division was
first located at Bucklin great many
people have pinned their faith to the
belief that cross road would be built.
Now some of the original entbusiastiCs
claim that the matter Is all settled,
If there proves to be anything in this
''nside information" 1t will cause big
boom for Bucklin and Dodge City,
Buch road would help Dodge City
a whole lot more than the Santa Fe cut
of. Iii is to be hoped the road will be!
come a reality instead of rumor.

FORCED TO RETURN HOME.
Wisconsin Girl Attempts to Elude
Papa in This City.
From Wednesdays Daily

Miss Jessie McGill, a young girl OF
seventeen, who has been employed as
a stripper in the Prima Vera Cigar fac
tory for the past four months, was taken
to her home at Stevens Point, Wis, yes
terday by her father who arrived here on
Sunday for that purpose.
The daughter was not willing com
panion ON the return trip, and Sunday
noon eluded her father and departed for
Mankato in the hope of evading him.
but the father chartered rig and drove
to that city, where he located his dangh-
ter in one of the hotels registered under
an assumed name. He brought her back
to this city, and yesterday departed for
his Wisconsin home.
There are two sides to the question.
The girl states that after the death of
her mother and when she was only six
years of age, her father married again
and would not care for her, and she liv-
ed with her aunt. She never had home
with her father and does not care to ac
cept one now. The father, however,
seemed to be an amiahle gentleman and
his action was undoubtedly prompted
for the good of his danghter.-St. Peter

Especial to The Free Press.]
Minneapolis, March lS.-Dr. A.A.Ames,
the once great man and former mayor of
Minneapolis, was arraigned in the GRIM
inal branch of the district court of Hen
nepin county, this morning, and he plead
ed not guilty to the seven indictments
which charge him with bribery, extortion
and conspiracy. In all five indictments
charged the former mayor with bribery,
and one alleges that he is guilty of ex-
torting sums ranging from $25 to $500
from the women of the town.
A large crowd was in the court room
to gaze upon the former idol of Mime
apolis.
There is strong feeling in Minneapo-
lis that Ames will not be convicted of
the charges. 1t is the general belief that
he is guilty, but owing to the long time
which has elapsed since the indictments
were returned against him and the fact
that a number of the witnesses are not
to be had, it will, in the opinion of many,
prove difficult matter to bring evidence
enough to bear before jury.
Ames' bond was fixed at $4,000 and
he will have until Saturday at noon to
secure sureties. His friends say that the
bond will be made good. Meantime
Ames is in charge of deputy sheriff.
Attorneys for Ames say his defense
will be insanity.

AN INTERESTING CHARACTER
Such Was the Late J. c. Evans, Father
of Mrs. De vaux.
From Wednesdays Daily.


The Bement, Ill.,, Register gives an in
teresting account of the life of the late
James G. Evans, father of Mrs. H. A.
DeVaux of this city. A characteristic
of the family is illustrated by an ac-
cident in his fathers life. In the divi-
sion of his grandfather's property, his
fathers portion was a large number of
negro slaves. Being opposed to slavery,
he gave them their freedom and went to
Illinois to seek him fortune.
Mr.. Evans was very benevolent man.
and many men and women in Bement
were enabled to build their homes be-
cause of his help. When he was able to
attend to his business in person. he
never closed his office on Saturday eve
ming without having given at least SIS in
charitable work during the week. He
hated pretence of any kind and taught
his children to be genuine, and to stand
before the world for what they really
were and not for what they seemed to
be.
The high esteem in which Mr.. Evans
was held as citizen, friend and a man
of splendid qualities was shown by the
people of Bement on the day of his fu-
neral. The business houses were closed
from II a. m. until p. M, and large
concourse of people attended the funeral.

North Third street, broke her right leg
yesterday evening. She had just finish
ed supper and was rising from the table
when her chair tipped and threw the
weight of the body on the leg in such 8
way as to produce fracture six inches
above the knee. Her physicians were
at once summoned and gave her such
surgical attention as was necessary. This
lady has been exceedingly unfortunate.
Only a few weeks ago in st. Joseph's
hospital she submitted to very serious
operation, that of removal of the entire
half of the lower jaw made necessary be-
cause of cancer. She made nice con-
valesence from her operation and had
returned to her home where she met with
the misfortune of last evening.
