A CHASE COUNTY SUIT.
Charges of Blackman and False
Imprisonment.

Cottonwood Falls, Kan, March IL
An important trial has been up for
hearing here this week in the district
court. 1t was the case of Clarence
Wilson VS. Richard Hunter for 81 800
damages for false imprisonment and
defamation of character A case
against Hunter on the same grounds
was that of Guy Arnold VS.. Richard
Hunter for 81, 500.
The case of Wilson VS.. Hunter WAS
dismissed because Wilson's witnesses
failed to appear. The witnesses de-
manded their fees in advance and VIII
son refused to or wasn't able to pay
them, so there was no case. The case
of Arnold vs.. Hunter was laid out on
a motion.
This is the windup of a sensational
Chase county case that started with
Matchmaking scheme in the fall of
1900. It was then that Richard Hunter
a we'll to do farmer, received a ma
licious letter threa tening that unless he
deposited $1,000 in gold a a certain
railroad crossing at a certain time the
writer's of the letter would MAIN his
son and burn his barns. The letter
was read in court. 1t was signed by
skull and crossbones and various mys-
ferrous signs.
At the given time Hunter put bag
of money at the place designated. and
later Arnold and Wilson brought the
sack of money to his house and they
said they had found it in the road. Mr.
Hunter had not put sufficient money
in the sack. The letter demanded 81.
600 in gold and he had put in 500 in
half dollars. Wilson and Arnold, who
were young farmers living near Hun
ter, were suspected of having written
the letter and We're placed under ar
rest. Their trial resulted in an acquit-
tai because there was not sufficient evil
dence to identify them as the parties
who wrote the letters.
nd
leased they started the two 81 500 dam
age cases against Hunter.

TO FOLLOW STANLEY.
Report That Other Members of Dawes
Commission Will Resign.

Washington, March IA report has
reached the interior department from
the Indian Territory that three of the
four members of the Dawes commission
would resign. 1t was said that Com
missioner Breckenridge and Commits
sioner Needles would follow the lead Of
Commissioner Stanley in relinquishing
their places. The statement that Stan
ley would resign has been made repeat
eddy since last fall, but heretofore there
has been no intinatfon that the other
commissioners named would leave the
government service.
Officials at the interior department
said that none Of the commissioners had
sent his resignation to Secretary Hitch
cock, but it was learned that the resig-
nation of Stanley has been expected at
the department since the report of
Charles ]. Bonaparte on the conditions
in the Indian Territory was made pub
lie. In his report Mr. Bonaparte vindi-

propriety of disposing of it should be
officially suggested TO him" The in

vestments in land companies, and that
this fact has seriously impaired his
usefulness
At the direction of President Roose
welt, Secretary Hitchcock notified all
the members of the commission that
they must dispose of their stock or re-
sign. According to reports from the
territory, Needles and Breckenridge
have decided that rather than sustain
the losses that would result if they sell
thought that they also have taken in
to consideration the fact that the
Dawes commission will be abolished
July l. 1905. Chairman Bixby has as
sured the committee on Indian affairs
of house and senate that the commits
sion will have finished it's work by that
time.
Representative Sherman and Repre-
sentative Curtis of the house commit
tee on Indian affairs and Secretary
Hitchcock will hold a conference with
President Roosevelt concerning the
work in Indian Territory. They will
also ascertain the views of the presi-
dent in regard to the recommendations
of Mr. Bonaparte that the Dawes COM
mission be abolished. 1t is understood
that Mr. Roosevelt agrees with Secre-
tary Hitchcock that the best plan
would be to permit tlls commission to
continue the allotment work, as 1t is
feared the radical change in admins
aparte. if adopted, would delay the
finishing of the work If the president
takes this attitude there is no doubt
that the opposition in the senate to au-
thorizing appropriations Tor the COM
mission will cease.

night The new piece is an 'idyl." Mr.
Marshall is supposed to have composed
1t while the waters of the flood were

and out of tune. But Mr.. Marshall did
not get any water soaked chords into

Mr. Marshall never needs to apologize
for his compositions. They are good
and he has just as much right to COM
pose them as has Suppe, Sousa and
SorrentinO to put their musical thoughts
on paper. Mr.. Marshalls composition
is supposed to give his ideas of the be-
ginning and the ending of the flood.
To those who can not translate music
into serial stories il would seem that
the flood was a soft, musical affair
with the moonlight on the waters and
all those soft and sentimental effects.
From the music you would never think
of muddy water, drift wood and fiot-
sam and jetsam.

kind m which the bass drum and the
snare drum mark the time so distinctly

comets are busy now and then on a

kind which provides a trio a little softer

Wh1teley's pink dress didn't hang far

her age had anything to do with her
