passing the following resolutions:
Statehood for Oklahoma and Indian
territory combined; territorial government
for Alaska; a memorial favoring an
American merchant marine; international

placing the consular service under civil

Philippines. The latter resolution as orig
inally introduced was against the rails
ing of sugar and tobacco in the islands,
and dealt with the tariff question. The

ton and the introduction Of coolie labor
only, and was passed.

'H)RNEY As ENDORSER
Suit Has Been Brought to Re-
cover Money.
WILSON CREATED DEBT
Is Forney's Signature Genuine
on the Paper.

Wellington, Kan, Aug. H.-Suit has
been instituted in the Sumner county
district court by the Central National
bank of Topeka, through Gleed, Ware
6, Gleed to collect a series of notes,
mortgages and contracts. for $1,000 given
by E. Z. Wilson of this city, the county
attorney of Sumner county, who dis
appeared while in the city about two
months ago leaving the impression that
he had committed suicide. After hi;
disappearance it developed that his finan-
cial affairs Were in a handy tangled
state. Several weeys ago Wilson turned
up at his home in this city and now
an attempt is to be made to clear mat
tiers up.
The notes and mortgages wyere given
by Wilson in the name of Sumner Sher-
man Cattle company. of which he was
the principal owner. and were endorsed
by J. w. Forney of Belle PLANE. They
were made to A. c. Jobes president of
the American National bank of Kansas
City, Mo-. and by him turned over 10
the Central National bank.
1t is to these notes and papers that
it has been claimed that Wilson forged
Colonel Forneys name. In its suit the
bank alleges that Forney signed these
notes and mortgages. 1t remains to be
seen what the proof viii develop
Jobes sold these notes to the bank be-
fore maturity, endorsing them without
o..sx,
the genuiness OF the signatures only.
If the signature of Colonel Forney is a
forgery the bank can make him pay the
debt; If IL is genuine the bank has no
recourse whatever on him.
The bank has compared the signatures
OF Colonel Forney on these papers with
the signature on file in the state house
while he was state senator and also with
his numerous signatures up TO last March
as a regent of the state university and
feel satisfied that hois signature on these
papers is genuine.
Il is also generally understood that
Colonel Forney now admits that he prob
ably signed these notes and papers as he
was accustomed to signing whatever Will
son wanted him to sign.
The bank sues for s11,5s6.29. the full
amount of the note less one credit Of
s4s3.71, made July 8. 1903, said to be the
net proceeds of the cattle.
The original note for $4,000 was made
July %, 1902, and secured by chattel
mortgage on 1.163 head Of cattle. On
January % 1908, another note and mort
gage on the same cattle was made for
the original note.
This agreement also provides that addi-
tional security shall be given whenever
necessary to maintain the margin of Sc
curity.

TO INDICATE HIMSELF.
Convict at Lansing Has Written His
Story


Lansing. Kan, Aug. Thames B.
Shane. the Lawrence photographer who
is now in the Kansas penitentiary for
shooting Ed katherman in February, 1902.
is trying 20 vindicate himself before the
public in a very unique manner. Shane
has written and had published an extern
sve pamphlet of 16S pages, entitled Not
Guilty" In this book Shane gives an
explanation of the shooting of young
Katherman and claims that it was all ac-
cidental. He says that Katherman and
a companion had been in the habit of
walking down the street past his photo
graph gallery and jeering and yelling at
him on purpose to annoy him.
Shane claims that he drew the revolver
from his pocket intending to shoot over
the heads of the boys and scare them.
He says that in some way his arm struck
the awning pole and the gun was dis
charged before he had elevated it suf-
ficiently TO cause the bullet TO go up into
the air In his book he states that he
did not know at the time that his aim had
been disturbed. but thought that the bull
let had passed over the heads Of the
boys. Bot hof them disappeared and he
thought they had become frightened and
FASTENED away. He did not know that
either OF them had been wounded until
his son, Karl Shane. informed him that
Katherman was lying dead a short dis
lance away.
Shane makes all these assertions in his
book and claims that the act was purely
accidental and that he is not guilty of
murder
