Night marshal Wilson of Hois-
ington has been getting rather
promiscous with his gun plays of
late, with the result that last Satur-
day night he made a complete fool of
himself, and was taken down a notch.
It appears that he discovered young
man and woman of supposed doubt
full reputation with whom he pro-
ceeded to assert his authority. In
the attempt he got them in the ladies
waiting room at the depot, and pro-
ceeded to apply names to them which
would not look we'll in print. There
were a number of men and women in
the room, among them w. P. Cone,
deputy sheriff. Wilson began waving
his gun in the air, whereupon Cone
stepped UP to him and remarked
that he should not conduct himself
that way. Wilson then turned the
gun on Cone, with the result that
Cone downed him, and his gun was
taken away from him. He asked tc
get up to go to the telephone Office
which he was permitted to do, but
soon returned with another gun and
attempted to arrest Cone. He pulled
his gun, was downed again, and the
same taken from him. About this
time the train was ready to start. and
Cone came on home Since then &
warrant has been sworn out in the
police court of Hoisington, and the
case will be aired Saturday. From
all information we can gather, Cone
was right and Wilson wrong, and il
an investigation will sustain this view
Mr.. Wilson should be divested of
authority and given lesson.

A Murder at larned.
county,

Clyde Langdon, white man, about
% years old, who was quite well
known in Great Bend, was shot and
almost instantly killed, Saturday
evening last, by R. B. Williams, a
,colored tailor, at the Iatter's shop in
Larned. Langdon called at the
tailor shop for suit of clothes he had
left to be pressed. Some words passed
between the two men, the clothes not
being ready for delivery, when Viii
liams drew a gun and fired, putting
three shots into the victim, two after
the first shot had brought him down.
Williams was put under arrest, and
shortly after, a mob began forming,
with the avowed intention of fvnching
the murderer. The sheriff, with
presence of mind, put his prisoner on
board the Santa Fe and took him to
Hutchinson.
LATER-0n Monday Williams was
taken back to Larned. A coroner's
inquest was held, and its decision was
that the shooting was done in self
defense, it appearing that Langdon
was hunting trouble, and made the
first gun play.

prepared for the committee by coz
tractors, and after some considerable
discussion the full amount of in

said about $500 will be expended in

A Sad Drowning.

On Sunday, the I'd inst. Fred
Savoy, seventeen years old, son of
Karl Savoy of west of town, was
drowned in the Pawnee, near Larned,
while in swimming. Fred. had been
working with threshing crew, near
the place of the drowning, and with
some of the men was bathing in the
creek. which was swollen with recent
rains. He had swan across the
creek couple of times, but at the
third effort appeared to be taken
with cramps. His companions
attempted rescue, but were unsuc-
cessful, one of them being nearly
dragged under by the struggling boy.
Fred was boy well liked in his
neighborhood, and his sudden and
untimely death is sad blow to the
Savoy family. The body was buried
from his late home in Liberty town

Some Bold Charges.

Since there is growing demand
for the Investigation of boodEng In
the Kansas Legislature in 1908, .
few Republican editors are trying 70
square themselves with the people by
demanding an investigation. William
Allen White, of the Emporia Gazette,
the highest Republican authority be-
tween Topeka and Wichita. sees
trouble ahead unless the Republicans
clean themselves, and he starts the
ruction. It can be truthfuliy said of
Mr.. White that he is not a creature
of patronage nor does he deal in
patronage; Re holds no Office and is
free, honest and fearless. Here's
what he says:
'D. ]. Kelley, the corrupt agent Of
the Baking Powder trust, says that
he once bought the Kansas Legisla-
ture. His remark would cause
laugh to spread over the State. which
by the way, is about as appropriate
as laugh at the remark that ones
own mother is a scarlet woman.
That kind of sneer. should call for
the sternest investigation. Political
ly bribery and corruption are no
giggling matter. There is talk under
the bushes of little deals and rakeof
in the last Legislature. There is
reason to believe that money was
used there and that certain leaders,
men of both sides, took money.
There was too much slot machine
talk, too much monkey business with
the committees On revision of the
calender in both houses.
If Governor Bailey or Attorney
General Coleman cared to go to the
bottom of the talk that is circulating
IN gossip among the politicians in this
| State there IS no doubt that the State
could be purged better than by any
other move in local politics. If, fol
instance. the Boss Busters were sin
cere in their desire to clean up the
politics in Kansas and get new deal
all around, they would look at the
bills introduced for blackmailing pur
poses in the last Legislature ano
smothered. That will remove some
of the shining lights of bossism anc
of busterism from Kansas polite:
and would form faction founded or
real honesty and not on windy pro
testations of observation-disclosures
What this State needs so bad-ii
is just naturally hurting for it's fol
some man to come along who is not
afraid to raise hell. He'll IS under
cover here. it is in both campS-the
Leland camp and the Burton camp
A Governor or an Attorney Genera
who would start an inquiry into
boodling and shield neither Leland
nor Burton nor Dumont Smith mol
Pringle, if the taint should fall there
would make himself so everlastingly
popular with the people that all the
politicians with dirty fingers could
not harm a hair of his head

Morrison Windows Smashed.

Last Thursday night some mis-
creants broke three or four of the
large plate glass in the front of the
Morrison house. A negro dance was
being held in the east wing of the
house, and it is presumed that some
of the tough element who were
excluded from participating thought
to take revenge by hurting rocks
through the windows. It is sincerely
hoped that the fellows who did that
piece of deviltry will be run down by
the officers and given a chance to
pay for the damage-if able-or dc

Killed By An Engine.

On Tuesday of last week a dis
tressing accident occurred on one of
the farms of Val. Kramer in Beaver
township The threshing rig owned
by Dolecheck & Kramer was at
work on the place, and during one of
the moves a young man named
Kellogg, whose home is at Lyons,
was sitting on the tool box on the
rear of the engine, as the same was
being backed up the young man lost
his balance fell from his seat directly
in the path of one of the drive wheels.
The engine was brought to a stop,
not soon enough, as it stood on the
man, across his hips. Medical
assistance was summoned, but after
lingering in intense agony for about
