FUNERAL WAS
HELD SUNDAY
Lucille Wrights sad death was
a peculiar case
INFATUATI0N FOR ANOTHER
GIRL
And Grief over their estrange.
ment led her to end her,
life.

The funeral services Of Lucille Wright
we're held Sunday afternoon from the
home of G. M. Hoover. The body was
brought home for burial from Holden,
Mo-, where she ended her life few days
prior. The particulars Of her lad death
as learned since last ThursdOY show that
she went from Kansas City to Holden
to visit May Teyis, spent the night with
her and they went driving together all
the next morning. After dinner they
again went driving. Lucille was to leave
for home ON the 3 80 PIN. train. About
an hour before train time she told Miss
Tevis that she had left her valisc at the
depot and wanted TO 60 and getR warmer
waist out of 1t. They then drove to the
depot, Lucille went In aud came out with
the waist In her arms. She is supposed
to have taken revolver from the valise
and to haye concealed 1t in the waist.
They drove back to the Tevls house and
when there she said to Miss Tevis, at
has turned so warm l wont change my
waist, YOU run up stairs and get my
umbrella" When May started, Lucille
jumped from the buggy and ran to the
barn which was in the rear Of the house
Mrs. Tevis and another lady were ln the
back yard. They heard shot fired and
saw Lucille running towards them. She
staggered and fell in Mrs. Tevis' arms.
Mrs, Tevls asked. "What is the matter?'
Leciie replied, ~ am shot. | did 1t my
self for, oh, was so unhappy"
The attachment Lucille had for Miss
lewis had become the ruling foroe Of her
life. She had tried IN vain to get her to
return to Dodge City SO that they might
live again together as they. had for a
number of years. There seems to have
been no other cause for the suicide. Let

Ticket Brokers Quit Business.

Denver ticket brokers have been
put out of business by the re-
fuSal of the State Supreme Court TO
gran. a superscdeas in the case known
as the Dixon injunction. Yesterday
was largely spent by the Denver bro
kers in packing up, and by this even
ing they will have closed their places.
In the next two years Denver will have
no ticket scalpng" excepting perhaps
sporadic cases of street trading, where
some one is willing to take "A chance.
There were eighteen legitimate firms
of ticket brokers' in Denver, five al
Colorado Springs, Two at CriDpl"
Creek, eight at Pueblo and two al
Trinidad. The offices averaged employ
ment for about three people each, so
that seventy or more are let out OF
employment
1t is hard to get at how much the
loss has been. but a prominent broker
said Yesterday that ii has been fully
$4,000, and perhaps 100000.

Women Would Unseat Smoot.

Philadelphia. - More than 100000
women representing the leading
womens organizations of the United
States have adopted a memorial call
ing for the unseating of United States
Senator Reed Smoot. This was an
nounced by the executive committee Of
the National Congress of Mothers who
met here today. This memorial will
be presented when Congress con-
venes.
United action was decided upon at a
meeting of the executive committee OF
the National League Of Women's Or
ganiZations which was held in New
York. The women declare that Reed
Smoot, who is an apostle and in direct
line for the Mormon presidency. has
pledged first allegiance to the Mormon
hierarchy, which has broken faith
with the government.
Smoot, the women declare. controls
the vote of eight other senators and,
fearing that his power will increase,
they ask that action be taken at the
cOnvening of Congress.
1t was decided to hold the next ma.
tional congress of mothers at Los
Angeles, May Z. s, 8 and 10, 1906

How Freight Rebate is Paid.

st. Paul-At the Roosevelt birth
day celebration President A. B.. Stick.
ney of the Great Western railway
told about rebates. He said:
The ingenuity which is now exer-
cised by both railways and their Gus
toners to maintain the secrecy Of re-
bates can be illustrated better than de-
scribed. Since the injunctions were
issued-and the terrors of the law are
considered imminent have been
told do not vouch for its truth, al
though l have seen what purports to
be copy of the contract between
shippers and the routing agency-of
cases where young men from so-called
routing agencies in New York make
periodical trips through the Western
cities, leaving not bank checks, but
packages of actual money, without
note or comment, upon certain meC'
chants desks. taking no voucher nor
receipt. Curiously when these pack
ages are counted they are found to be
exactly certain percentage. supposed
to be twenty-five per cent of the
amount of freight which such mer-
chants have paid certain railway
company since the last previous visit
of the young man who thus distributes
hundreds of thousands of dollars an.

BIG LAND FRAUDS.
Alleged to Have Been Praetiesd In
Northeastern Colorado.

Denver-The Republican says: Gi-
gantic land frauds in Washington,
Morgan and Yuma counties have been
unearthed by the federal grand jury.
and as result of these frauds. by
which the government has been de-
frauded of thousands Of acres Of land,
seven Of the most prominent men OF
northeastern Colorado have been in
dicted. The frauds are asserted to
have been carried on for years, and the
chief reason that many others have
not been indicted is stated to be that
the statute of limitations works in
favor Of those under suspicion.
1t is claimed that the government
has but just begun the work, and that
before it is through more than score
more will be indicted for their con-
nection with an alleged conspiracy.
The grand jury which returned the in
dictments has been discharged, but it
is probable that another will be sum
moned to probe further
The men indicted are Peter Camp
bell. former register Of the United
States land office at Akron. three
counts for perjury; P. f. Beeney,
county treasurer II Washington
county, two counts for perjury; A. A.
Mexican, clerk of the District Court
Of Yuma county, nine counts for for
gerry: d. w. Irwin, politician, five
counts for perjury; E. G.. Stoner, a
ranchman of Otis, Colorado. one count
for perjury; w. F. Buell.. hotel proprie'
tor. Yuma, Colorado, one count for per.
jury; o. p. Smith. ranchman OF
Otis, one count for perjury. Capiases
have been issued in all of these cases
and have been served and the men
placed under arrest.
The system, through which it is as
serted the men indicted operated, is
said to have been worked chiefly on
timber culture claims. In the vicinity
of Akron and Wray, years ago, entries
were made on what were known as
timber culture land
1t is asserted that these claims
after having been practically aband
oned, were proved up fraudulently al
the instigatiOn of the men who have
been indicted and for their benefit.

we'll on its way toward success. Ar.
rangements have been completed for a

ger agents of the railroads operating
in the interested section. representa-,
tives of commercial organizations and

Seattle, Wash.-Dr. Antoine Varicle,
protector of the International Polar
Institute, which proposes to send a
party of the best known ''mushers" Of
the klondike country on an expedition

of supplies. or post of departure, would
be established to await the most favor
able time for the dash to the unex-

If the expedition is a success, the party
will pass entirely across the explored
country, after taking observations and
securing information OF scientific
nature in the vicinity Of the North

Chinese Assault Admiral Train.

London.-A dispatch to the Evening
Standard from Shanghai says that
Rear Admiral Train, commander-in-

by Chinese outside Marking. The
American officers were pheasant hunt
ing, when the admiral accidentally
shot a Chinese woman. slightly injur-
ing her. Hundreds of villagers there
upon surrounded the officers. took
away their guns, knocked the admiral
down in the mud and held Lieutenant
Train as hostage. Forty American

which, with the patriotic manifesto
tions. led to a number of conflicts be-
tween the reds" and whites" as the
anti-government and royalist factions
are respectively termed.
On the whole, the day passed more
quietly In Russia than had been ex-
pected.
In each of the two capitals, St. Pc.
tersburg and Moscow, the day was one
such as the Russians never before
have seen. The Slavic people which,
during the long war just closed, and
the anxious period preceding the an
nouncement of the new era of consti-
tutionalism, seemed self-restrained and
apathetic, gave itself up fully to exu-
berance of the moment and spent the
entire day in parades and assemblies.
which for the first time in the history
of Russia were freely permitted.
Under the orders of Count Witte
and General Trepoff the troops gener-
ally were withdrawn from the streets
of the cities and the fullest rein given
to the people to let out their enthu-
siasm in demonstrations which. so
long as they were not destructive, were
not interfered with.
Early in the day the "Marseillaise"
supplanted the national anthem as the
popular marching song.
The loyalists attempted to take the
lead against the socialists and revolu-
tionists by organizing counter parades.
in which they carried the red. white
and blue banner of Russia and chanted
the national anthem, but they were
driven off the Nevsky Prospect by the
overwhelming numbers of the reds
every time they appeared.
The soldiers off duty mingled freely
with the demonstrators and fraternized
with the populace.
