REDFIELD NOT
ONE OF BOARD
That Let Index Book Contract
to Kerr.
BAD MISTAKE MADE
injustice Done to Man, Who
Fights for County.
MISTAKE
MADE

It was stated in yesterday morning s
Eagle that J. C Reddeld, county commits
sioner. was member Of the board which
let the contract for index books to J. NJ.
Kerr on March !. 1901 This was deplor-
able mistake on the part of the reporter
for the Eagle and it does an injustice to
MF. Redheld. which would be cruel were
1t not for the highly honorable character
OF the man Not only has he not been a
party to any such deal but fighting
against all odds, the like of which there
are but few men who can survive, he has
stood for the people Of Sedgwick county
and the preservation Of their treasury
When the contract on the notorious
index books was let to the register Of
deeds, the board of county commissioners
consisted Of Deacon Wilson, P. BaIlau-
tine and J. Z. Howard.
Ten days after this was done. on the
14th Of March. Mr.. RedieId was sworn in
as county commissioner. From that day
10 this, the 18th of April, 1903, he has been
governed by his actions on the board only
by what he knew was conducive to the
welfare and protection Of the people whom
he represents And so the unfortunate
mistake in the Eagle yesterday was made
doubly nonstroUs-
a little review OF the true history of this
index case VIII serve TO show what part
Mr. Redheld has taken in this affair and
this affair and thus aid in correcting the
WIZ impression that may have been
conveyed 70 some who do not realize that
this commissioner has done too much for
the county TO make the statement that
he was on that board consistent with his
actions. Mr.. RedfeId succeeded Mr.. How
ard He was the minority Of the board.
When the injunction suit was brought
against the board and Kerr. Mr. Redfel3
was defendant in being one Of the board
but personally and IN q minority position.
he favored the suit and when the injunc-
ton was granted he introduced q resolu-
ton, acquiescing in the decision and re
solving to let it stand. The majority Of
the board voted the resolution down and
the case was appealed Any taxpayer
who is interested in being treated fairly
knows what this stand on the part Of s1r.
RedheId means. The people who brought
the suit won and Mr. Redheld stood by
them
Then the new board in which the Re-
pLblicans had a majority. came in. 1t
was at first decided 10 have the county
attorney dismiss the suit but on further
consideration the board decided that N
best thing that could happen was to have
the supreme court co1strue the law on
this matter. So the county attorney was
ordered to let the case proceed. It was
County Attorney Eckstein, and not Mr..
Kerr's attorneys, who saw that the case
went through.
In this. as in many others, Commits
sioner Redfeld has labored early and late
and his labor has not been in vain. Sedg-
wick county has been saved thousands OF
dollars and its treasury saved from COM
plete destruction through him.

1T WASN'T DUNN.
Chief Burt Found That Wrong Man
Had Been Cauont

Chief Of Police Burt returned yesterday
from Bristow, !. T, where he went to see
if the man captured by the Indian police
was John p. Dunn He found that there
was a mistake in identity. The man cap
tured looked something like Dunn, had a
wound similar 70 the muchwanted man,
and in general appearance was the very
man the detectives in every city in the
country have been looking for and COVER
nors have been Offering rewards Of hun
dreds of dollars for his capture. The
wound in the captured man was a little
higher and TO the back than that of Dunn
and his facial features were unlike the
GAINESVILLE prisoner. Dunn had a gold
tooth, this man didn't, but the same tooth
had been pulled, and this only strength
ened the captors belief that they had the
right man. Chief Burt and several others
who knew Dunn, were positive that the
man at Bristow was not the fellow they
were looking for.

HEIR TO A DUKEDOM.
Cavendish VIII One Day Have a
Million a Year.
New Financial Secretary to British
Treasury lis the Nephew of the
Duke of Deyonshire and His
Probable Successor.

Probably most people in London who
read the other day OF the appointment
Of Victor Cayendish, NJ. r., TO the post
Of financial secretary to the British
treasury, were impressed good deal
ess by the appointment itself than BY
The thought that this young mans next
advancement, no doubt, would place
him in possession of one of the proudest
lilies, one OF the greatest fortunes, and
pne Of the most magnificent estates In
the United Kingdom.
The new financial secretary is, Of
course, the nephew and heir of the duke
Of Deyonshire, the stanch old free trader
who provided one OF the political SEN
Bations of the last month by resigning
from Mr.. Balfour's cabinet. just as he
did from that of Mr. Gladstone, and who,
besides being also Baron Cavendish,
marquis OF harrington, earl of Devon
shire and earl of Burlington; has an in
come of nearly $l,000,000 a year, and
an estate of $4,000 acres, containing
seven of the finest private residences in
England. The duke is now over 70 and
not in robust health, so it is not too soon
to begin to discuss the qualities OF the
man who will succeed him.
Americans who have seen some of
the many photographs and especially
the cartoons which have been published
OF the famous duke, will be struck by
the uncommon resemblance that is
borne to him by the coming head of the
house of Cayendish.
The beard is the only thing that is
missing. There is the same heaviness
no other word describes it-about the
face, the same protruding lower lip of
the Cavendishes, and the same unde-
niable dullness of eye that, perhaps, has
been mainly responsible for getting the
duke his reputation as the "sleepiest
statesman In England"
And so it was that a clever funmaker
raised laugh the other day by suggest
ing as a happy nickname for the duke
that of Little Wideawake." Mr.. Cham
berlain called his grace "the Rip Van
Wrinkle of politics"
The impression prevails that the
duke is listless because he is dull, but
this was dispelled when, at recent din
uer of the American society in London,

on the new law relating to the
shooting of hunters: "The new law
under which a hunter shooting a
human being commits a crime pun
ishable by ten years Imprisonment,
is beginning to receive attention
from sportsmen. Many are asking
if the law applies to cases where a
duck hunter fills man full of bird
shot, or only to,eases where human
being is mistaken for deer. The
statute seems to cover both. Some
believe that the new law may defeat
itself in its purpose, as a hunter,
knowing he has shot man, will not
90 to the assistance OF the wounded
person, but will make his escape at
once, fearing arrest and imprison'
ment."
