IRWIN is TAKEN BACK
To KAY County. Revised Story Of the
Killing


G. w. Wooden, sheriff Of Kay
county, o. r., arrived last night
to take possession of pr. John
Irwin, who was arrested by
local officers on Wednesday,
charged with the murder Of doc
\ Mann at Kaw City. The sheriff
was accompanied BY Joe Mann,
brother Of the deceased, who had
offered $500 reward for this arrest
and conviction Of Irwin Sheriff
Wooden and party left at noon to-
day for Newkirk.
The story Of the killing related
in the EXPRESS yesterday was very
inaccurate owing TO the meager
sources Of information at hand
when it was written. a more cor
rect version seems to be as follows:
A furniture dealer at Kaw City
named Buzzard was arrested for
assaulting a little girl. He was
run out of town. but later returned
and was horsewhipped by the men
and egged by the women, being
again driven out. A party of men
including Dr. Irwin and Doc Mann
were discussing the question one
evening. DR. Irwin remarked tn I
he didn't think Buzzard had been
treated altogether right. Ma Il
took the opposite view and one
word lead to another until the men
were enraged and Mann said he
could whip any man who took ZIP
for fellow like Buzzard and in
vited Irwin to the street. Mann was
walking to the street when Irwin
drew his gun and shot, the bullet
passing through his arm and a part
of his chest. Mann turned and
Irwin sent another bullet through
his heart Irvine walked through
a saloon, out the pack door, up an
alley, and was seen no more till
caDtured here.
DR. Irwin had been a good friend
'of Mann and was his family ply
sicirn. He bore a good reputation,

 M. V. Hardy reports that the last
  Salton sea, made two days ago, showed more than IO20O second feet, of which 52OO second feet was flowing in from the Salton channel and 5000 second feet from New river. With such an enormous influx, the Salton sea must rise rapidly.
 The Overflow Situation
 The latest reports from the river are to the effect that the water is very high indeed. The last date for which we have the measurements is June l7, on which date the total flow of the river was 80,700 second feet. On June Ia when the total flow wss 78,0O0 second feet, the total amount diverted by the Imperial canal was 88l5 second feet, or about one-ninth of the total flow. There has not been any change in the stua- tion in the Valley this week. The ditch banks along New river in the Silsbee neighborhood are still intact but the water is still rising and spreading mountain. The bridges at Calexico and Brawley have been kept open for travel, that at Holtville has been wash ed out. The amount of water turned out into the Salton channel at Sharp's Heading, and the large amount escaping into New river from the Imperial canal at Beltran Slough, has reduced the pressure on the structures at Sharp's till the vibrations has practically ceased and the works are considered safe. The dredger is still at work enlargng the outlet from Sharp's into SaltOn

SchugHiH Arsenal Scandal To Be
Thoroughly Investigated.
IRON THE TRIBUNE BUREAU

Washington, July 1.-THE existence Of scan
daI in connection with army supplies manu-
featured at the Schuylkiu Arsenal and those
purchased at the depot quarternaster's Office in
Philadelphia is admitted to-day and the adrnis-
s,on is accompanied by the statement that af-
fairs in Philadelphia viii be thoroughly over
hauled, and that political influence exerted 70
the detrimenu Of the government service must
cease, even if It IS necessary TO stop all manu-
featuring Of army supplies at that point. It is
not expected, however that so drastic a course
viii be necessary, as IT is believed that COM
plete investigation Of the unfortunate condi-
rions existing there ana thorough understand
ing on the part OF the manufacturers and con-
tractors and their political friends that Secre-
ta-y Taft is in earnest in his determination to
put an end 10 the chickering's and scandal which
have for some time attended the making and
purchase of supplies at that point viii prove suf-
ficient.
II was learned to-day that. among other
things a report was made 10 the quartermas-
ter's department not long ago that S465.OO0
worth Of the stores in Philadelphia were obso-
Iete and had been condemned. The magnitude
Of the amount caused General Humphreys TO
order a reinspectlon with the result that only
$4,000 worth were found to be obsolete Had
the first report been accepted, $3.50 worth
of good stores and supplies would have been
government. and. doubtless. to the immense
profit of the purchasers.
It is declared that numerous other although
smaller, instances Of inexcusably Incompetent
or dishonest practices could be cited, ana their
existence is attributed by the officials IN the
War Department TO the perpetual exertion of
political influence in behalf Of manufacturers
contractors and incompetent employees Il is
broadly intimated that political influence has
been exerted TO extent which secured the
overruling Of recommendations of the War De
partnaent which would have put end TO
these practices. but il is also declared that Sec
retary Taft has now taken stand which pre-
vents any further use OF influence 10 the detri-
nent of the government. No details Of the pro-
posed investigation are obtainable [ present
and it is not probable that they have been per
fected, but X is regarded certain that the en-
tire conduct of army affairs at Philadelphia VIII
De oEerhauled, that incompetents Will be sifted
out, and that contractors who have been guilty
OF improper practices Will be debarred from
further bidding Oh government contracts.
