GOT HER REWARD.
Cares for a Veteran 4Yho wiIled Her
FARM

Wichita, Kan, Jam 6-For loving
care and kindness bestowed upon him
in his old age by Martha Baker, Jasper
Haynes, a veteran of the civil war, left
a will bestoWing upon her all proper
ties he possessed at the time of his
DEATH
Mr.. Haynes came to this city about
six weeks go almost penniiess and in
very feeble state. His home was near
Woodward, Ok, where he had located
upon a claim. His finances having run
low, he received a leava of q bsence from
the land office and came into Kansas
to work during the winter. Disaster
followed him here. He took sick before
arriving in this city and when he
alighted from the Santa, Fe train from
the Pan Handle diyision,s the first per-
son he encountered was Martha Baker,
a widow with whom he was acquainted
years ago 1t is said by intimate friends
of Mrs Baker that the two had been
engaged before the war. Mrs. Baker
took pity on him and cared for him I'M
til he died two weeks ago.
Mrs. Baker conducts a boarding house
in this city and Haynes, knowing that
she was making a sacrifice in order to
care for him, made a will in which he
named her as his heir to all his pos
sessions providing that she gave his
body proper burial.
He had but little outside of his claim
in Oklahoma and this was practically
government land as he had not made
his final proof. A lawyer was called
who secured witnesses to the win and
who also made arrangements to keep
the death of Mr.. Haynes from the press
He told Mrs. Baker that she would lose
the claim should some. one find out the
particulars and enter their fling upon
the quarter section before she did. The
news Of his death was Kept from the
public and Immediately after the fu-
neral Mrs Baker went to Woodward
and entered her fling papers on the
land. She said that she encountered
several Oklahoma people who We're
waiting for news of Mr.. Haynes death
SO that they could file on the place
The land is worth in the neighborhood
of two thousand dollars and has some
is now about eighty acres in cultivation
the. balance being in pasture. The land
is situated in a fine wheat country and
BIS one Of the most desirable farms in
that part of the. country.
Mrs Baker has two children and they
will move to the farm as soon as the
winter is over. When asked the partic-
ulars of the affair she broke down and
wept, exclaimiGlg as she did so: @Some
people may think that j did wrong, but
poor Jasper, his memory shall be sa-
cred in my household and my two boys
shall be taught that his was the hand
that came to our relief when we were
in want Of a home and place where
they could be brought up out of the bad
influence of the city and its tempta-
tions.H

A FIGHT WITH MOROS.
Sergeant NJ. g. Leonard Of Topeka
Describes One.

In far away. lMindanao, Philippine
Islands, Topeka boy. Sergeant M G.
Leonard. of the Fourteenth cavalry
band, participated in the welcome which
was extended there to Alice Roosevelt
and those in Secretary of War
Taft's party. Sergeant Leonard says.
Il was in Jolo at the time the en-
gagement this summer took place. The
company and troops which made the at
tack were composed Of picked men from
the 18th, 22nd and 23Fd infantry-tha
troops were all from the 14th cavalry.
The entire command met at Jolo where
General Wood took command. He there
divided the forces into three columns
each taking a separate course. The sec
ond day out the troops were halted high
upon the side Of q hill down below
them number of Moro huts were seen.
L troop was ordered to go down and
search for arms. They had almost
reached the first Casa, when a volley of
bullets, spears and scrap iron was
poured into the troop, several men were
wounded and the rest soon received the
order for a charge, this being the only
means of escaping the ambush they had
been caught in. They were soon driven
back from the constant fire of the Mor0s
who were on all sides. At the most
needed moment the main column came
UP on the run.sl which soon made the
AHoros take to the hills. Private Fowler.
a friend Of mine, was killed in this ann
bush and a large number we're wounded.
On the third days march the hardest
fight occurred. The fort was one Of
the strongest on the island, the walls
were built of mud and stone, and OF
such a great thickness as to resist the
shells of both the mountain battery and
a 80 inch gun which were Smelling the
wall Around the main wall they had
built a tall bamboo fence, when the
shells hit the fence it reminded one OF
seeing a Kansas wind storm working
on a pile of corn fodder In the mean
time word was sent into the fort for the
Datto to give up his arms. He refused
and with this the fun commenced. The
AIoros would stick their gun barrels
over the wall and pull the trigger, never
showing any of their bodies. Several
of the guns were hit by our sharpshoot-
er and hurled in the air. The battery
by this time was in y good position and
an entrance was soon made. where the
troops went il. on the run and soon cap
tured all their arms. some were old flint
locks, others Remingtcns Of the latest
model The latter are sold to them
by the Chinese. After leaving this Gotta,
several smaller ones were destroyed and
the troops retired to Jolo. The dead
numbered u, and the wounded IL
Sergeant Leonard when in Topeka

the reason that after W. z. Lyon, my

them of the practice of these agents

fight, the pudgy conqueror of Terry
McGOvern rules a slight favorite, all
though thus far not enough wagering

if fit. The highest prices ever asked
