DEWEY CASE is UP.
Arguments in Habeas Corpus
Case Being Heard Today.

Somewhere in the shuttle the petition
for writ of habeaS corpus in the
Dewey case has been lost, and the
judges of the supreme court We're
obliged to go to the State Historical
society and get a copy of the daily
newspapers containing the publica ton
of that document.
The hearing of the arguments in the
case which was set for o'clock this
mornin, was continued until o'clock
this afternoon, because Senator HesSin
attorney for Dewey Mcbride and Will
SON. had not had an opportunity to
read over the evidence.
The losing of the petition for writ of
habeaS corpus is a mysterious affair,
and may be found to have a sinister
significance, though this theory is
secuted at by all the officers of the su
preme court 1t seems that the petition
was last seen when it lay on a table
In the general office of the supreme
court, together with a lot of other
papers in the case There were lot o.
attorneys around, and it was thought
for a time that some of them had acci-
dentally picked up the petition and put
1t in their pocket. All of the attorneys
were questioned. however, and no trace
of the missing paper was found.
There is only one reason why anyone
should want to get away with the petit
ton for writ, and that is to cause
some delay in the proceedings, and in
some way embarrasS the progress of
the case. 1t is possible that the petition
will be found put away in some filing
case at the supreme court rooms, but
so far a careful search has revealed
nothin/.
All of the attorneys interested in the
Dewey case are in the city. and the
argument this afternoon promises to be
very interesting. Many attorneys, not
only from Topeka, but from other parts
of the state, are here to listen to the
arguments. This is the first day of the
July term, and for the rest of the week
the judges will be busy listening to
arguments in many important cases.

WILSON IS GONE.
County Attorney of Sumner
Disappears In Topeka.

Emory Il. Wilson. attorney of Sumner
county, has disappeared ans relatives and
friends fear that he has committed suicide.
Wilson came to Topeka July from his
home in Belle PLANE and registered at the
Throop hotel. Saturday afternoon at 4
letter from him, the contents of which
would indicate that his mind was de-
ranged He spoke of the cooling waters, Z"
and said that he had visited the river twice
since he came to Topeka and decided it
ran straight 10 the destination he wished
to reach. He added that his personal eff
fects and baggage would be found at the
Throop.
r. G. Ranney, friend, FASTENED to To-
peka in hopes Of interceptinS him in any
rash act, but he was gone when they ar
rived and had not been at the hotel since
the night of the Sd.
As he had stated in his letter, all his
baggage was found in his room. together
purchased for his wife and children. Ths
indications are that he has drowned him
self IN the river. His brOther-in-law, Mr.
Forney, said last night that Wilson had
been acting queerly for some time. which
was probably the result of an injury he
received in fight some time ago. During
the opening of the Oklahoma country ne
took a claim and litigation arose with
man named Dow for the possession of the
claim. Wilson won the suit and was as
saulted by Dow. who struck him on the
head and seriously wounded him.
Wilson is a sOn-in-laW of J. w. F'Orney
ex-state senator. He was connected with
extensive cattle interests in Sumner coun-
man-Sumner Cattle company. Mr.. Ranney
who came to Topeka to assist in the
search for him. is a wealthy stock breeder
of Little York, Ill, who had become ae-
quainted with Wilson in a business way
and came to Belle PLANE, where he was to
meet Wilson and close a deal for the pur-
chase of some blooded stock. Hearing that
he had threatened his life, be Joined Mr.
Forney and came to Topeka. 1t is thought
that Wilson was heavily involved in a
business way. but he recently sold his
share in a Denver gold mining concern fer
SO. COO which should have covered all his
debts. Several large mortgages are record
ed against him at Wellington.
Wilson was supposed to be on his! way
TO Kansas City with several cars of cat
tie for the Thursday market and returned
to Topeka after the sale of the cattle.
Wilson is described a slender man. "a
years of age, who walks erect, having been
a lieutenant in the TWenty-frst Kansas
during the Spanish war and later a cap
tain of the K. n. G. He has wife and
five children.
Mr. Forney returned home at II o'clock
this forenoon without having discovered
any trace of Wilson. Notice of his disap-
pearance has been sent to several places
and the Topeka police are doing what they
can to aid in the search.

HANNA OFF FOR CRUISE
The Senator Takes a Trip on
GriscOm's Yacht.

Cleveland, o.. July 6.-Referring to
the story printed today to the effect
that Senator NJ. A. Hanna had disposed
of all his business interests prepara-
tory to devoting his entire time to
public affairs D. r. Hanna, a son of
the senator and a member of the firm
of NJ. A. Hanna & Co, said:
THE impression conveyed by this re-
port is entirely incorrect and unjust.
Senator Hanna has, within the past
few years, relieved himself of the bur-
den of the personal attention to the bus
mess details but aside from this there
is no foundation for the statement
The firm of NJ. A. Hanna & Co., has
not been affected in the slightest On
the contrary, our business interests and
connections are larger today than they
have ever been, and the senator's in
terests are the same
Senator and Mrs. Hanna left Cleve-
land yesterday for Jersey City where
they expected to board the private
yacht today of c. A. Griscom for a
cruise along the Atlantic coast
