that the latter had driven south
carrying Irwin in his buggy early

mounted the swiftest horses and
rode at a break.neck speed for Two
hours, when they met Mr.. Dawson
coming this way about twenty
miles southwest of town. Mr..
Dawson made no attempt to con-

urged the latter to give hiuself up

cents fare for school children under

ed without q dissenting vote and on
motion of Louthan the ordinance
passed to the third reading and on
motion of Scoffern the final vote
was taken and it was unanimously
passed. The main features Of the

SCOTT JONES REAL ESTATE COMPANY BUYS AND SELLS REAL ESTATE FOR YOU

1t was about $50 when the of
fcers reached town with their man.
After a visit to the barber shop he
was taken to the Jail. The sheriff
Of Kay county was communicated
with by telephone last night and he
was expected to arrive today to
take Irvine back to the scene Of
his crime.
II is reported that rewards ag-
gregating $1,000 were offered for
the capture Of Irvine. The latter 5
crime was committed on the even
ing Of Sept. 2sth last and was the
elimination Of some exciting
events in Kaw City. The story
seems to be about as follows.
A bartender LaE5ed Mann was
alleged to ha& cruelty beaten his
wife aud public indignation against
him ran SO high tnat he was taken
out and horsewhipped. After this
affair, Mann accused Or. IRVINE. of
making certain remarks about him
in connection with it and on the
day of the killing went to the
latter sofice. Fhe two men quarelled
and Mann invited Irvine to the
street saying that they would soon
settle it. AS they were leaving
the room Irvine shot Mann killing
him.
Irvine escaped at this time. He
says he spent the first night under
barn three quarters Of a mile
from the town and at one time
heard his pursuers remark while
searching around the barn, He
isn't in there he would disturb
the hogs" He left this place and
stealthily made his way walking
till he reached the home OF his
brother-ln-law. He PASSED through
here Monday evening walking the
Frisco tracks but didn't come up
town.
DR.. Irvine was a prominent
physician in his town before his
crime, He said he fed because of
fear Of Mann friends. latter,
it is said was a member Of several
fra.ernal orders and had numerous
friends of this class. Irvine says
he can prove that the killing was
jusli6able.

invited Dave and Tom Barry to din

that they were brothers of the brush.
Dinner was approaching its finish and
both Dave and Tom were expectantly

"Do you like Botticelli?" the old gen.

Ship on Fire Nine Months.

A most extraordinary story Of a
derelict which has been burning and
floating about on the eastern seas has
recently come to light.
The Fannie Kerr was four-masted
bark of 2,426 tons, built Of steel. She
left Newcastle in April, 1902 with a
cargo of coal for San Francisco. Aft
er she had rounded the Horn in safe
ty her cargo took fire somewhere
in the Southern Pacific, and after try
ing for more than month to extin-
guish the flames, the ship became so
hot that the captain and crew were
forced to abandon her and take to the
boats.
This was on June 6. They landed
at Kauai, an island of the Hawaiian
group, and made their way to Homo
lulu, where the captain made his re.
port and the crew was discharged.
On March 10, 1903, the captain OF
the steamship Heathdede, bound from
Yokohama to Formosa, sighted a yes
sci adrift from which s:cc....ss sem al
to arise.
Steaming forward, he found that she
was the long missing Fannie Kerr,
which had been gradually drifting
westward several thousand miles for
nearly nine months, and with her
cargo still on fire. New York Herald

forts.
At last, in utter WEAKNESS, he once
more let the oars drop from his stiff
ened fingers and, clinging to the gun
vale, watch the racing lights. There
seemed to be dozens of them now, all
around him, close at hand, yet quite
out of reach. The utmost he could
do was to clutch the cold, wet timber
and look out with hungry eyes eyes On the
blessed signs of safety, SO near and
yet SO far. Then in moment they all
vanished, and huge mass of rock
rose hard by, vast and threatening,
against which the angry waves hurled
themselves with roar of triumph
and drew back with a snarl of def
ance. AS he gazed upon it conscious

"Dickey, old chap" he shouted,

nor did any sound come from the open
lips.

HARDY,s IDEA FOR 4TEss."
Tragic incident fingered Long in
Authors Memory.

A rather striking story of the origin
of Hardy's Tess" has just been told
by Neil Munro, author of John Spleen
did," who is one of Mr. Hardy's init
mate friends. 1t seems that when
Hardy was boy he used to go into
Dorchester to school, and he made the
aseeGi;;iainta lance Of woman there, who,
with her husband, kept an inn. She
was beautiful, good and kind, but mar
ried to a dissipated scoundrel who was
unfaithful to her. One day she dis
covered her husband under circum-
stances which so reused her passion
that she stabbed him with knife
and killed him. She was tried, con-
victed and condemned to execution.
Young Hardy, with another boy, wit
messed the execution from a tree that
overlooked the yard in which the gal
lows was placed. He never forgot the
rustic of the thin black gown the
woman was wearing as she was led
forth by the warders. A penetrating
rain was falling: the white cap was
no sooner over the woman's head than
it chung to- her features, and the moose
was put round the neck of what
looked like a marble statue. Hardy
looked at the scene with strange
illusion of its being unreal, and was
brought to his complete senses when
the drop fell with thud and his COM
panion on lower branch of the tree
fell fainting to the ground. The
tragedy haunted Hardy, and at last
provided the emotional inspiration and
some of the matter for Tess Of the
D'Urbervilles."

CHAPTER xxxn.

1t was some little time before the
combatants upon the shore perceived
i that the boat, for the possession OF
which they were fighting, had disap-
/ peared. In fact, it was only when the
| last Of Trips band sullenly surren.
dered, and had been duly trussed with
length of rope from their own stores,
| that the victors, looking round, discov-
| cred their loss Then, indeed, their
| surprise and dismay were great. Three
| or four of the Whayre men immediate
| ly launched boat, but in the darkness
they found nothing except single oar
| drifting about. After rowing back.
| wards and forwards for half an hour
| they gave up the hopeless enterprise
and returned to the shore.
The victory had not been purchased
any too cheaply, for the gang fought
desperately and gave in only when the
| the odds were Overwhelmingly against
| them. Not one came Off scathless, and
most of them were seriously injured.
On the other side, two of the sailors
and boy from Whayre were dead,
Postlethwaite had shocking cont,l-
sion on the right cheek bone, Owen
was badly cut across one shoulder, and
quite half a dozen of the local recruits
were burned or bruised as result OF
the explosion.
The cottages were in a deplorable
condition, thought the shell was still
left standing. The powder must have
been damp or of inferior quality, 9TH
erwise the ruin would have been COM
plete. AS it was, enough of the struc-
ture remained to show what labor and
ingenuity had been expended by the
tenants. The spur Of sandstone on
which the buildings stood had been
excavated so as to provide excellent
storage for any goods it was desired
to keep safe and secret. Enough, too,
was left of the revolving door to prove
that the Weasel was fully deserving OF
his old shipmates praise-he must
have been worth any dozen of ships
carpenters and smithsso simple was
the continuance itself and so skillfully
carried out.
: AS to the outer doors, those leading
from the vault to the beach, they were
faced with powdered sandstone and
covered with single, SO that no one
would be at all likely to suspect their
existence. The two boats the curate
had seen ready packed were represent
ed by few pieces Of timber and
thousands OF splinters. The upper part
OF the building had not suffered so
severely and there was ample evil
dence that most of the rooms had been
previously stripped, so that. it was
plain that the fitting had been careful
" arranged. Indeed, the more fully
the affair was investigated the more
remarkable appeared the elaborate or
ganization of the gang and the CON
summate ability with which their plans
were laid. The manner in which the
natural caves had been utilized was
an instance in point.
