FRONT STREET INCIDENT
Cow Boys, Bat Masteson and "The
Ninety and Nine"


Ninety and Nine."
The following incident related by
M. w. Sutton appeared a few days ago
In the Hutchinson News.
"Thirty years ago about this time Of
the year was sitting on bench in
front of Beatty & Kelly's place of busl-
ness In Dodge City, Kan. | was in
company with a young man about
81 years old, who was then sheriff
of the county. We were personal
friends as well as political friends, l
being then the prosecuting attorney.
The place where we were sitting faced
the street, the railroad track being
the other side and the street having
houses on but the one side.
While we were talking three men
came out Of the Long Branch saloon
some five or six doors west Of us,
mounted their horses and rode east
on the street and when they had passed
us they were shooting up the town."
The town marshal was absent and had
left the young sheriff to care for and
keep order in the town In his absence.
As they rode by shooting, the Young
sheriff, whose back was toward the
street, turned In his seat and opened
fire on them. He fired three shots
two horses went down and the riders
were promptly disarmed and put in the
ealabo0se.
The young officer then impressed
saddle horse, there being many
hItched nearby, and pursued the third
man aud found his horse about q mile
east OF town lying dead at the foot
Of the bluffs but no man. He had
disappeared in the hills. The young
officer had done all this without help
and without scarcely word.
The party that escaped met the
stage coming from the north with the
United States mail and one passenger
"a women. He compelled the driver
TO turn back and take him to his herd
Of cattle twelve miles away. He held
his gun In his hand to enforce his
orders. The woman passenger he
compelled to sing all the way back.
She told tho writer afterwards that
the only song she knew and could
sing was "The Ninety and Nine" but
that she sang it for the twelve miles
faithfully.
OF such were the early days in
Dodge.
The young officer was Bat Master.
son, now one Of the United States
marshals In New York city.

STREET SPRINKLER DEAD
And II Ought to be brought to Life
Again Without Delay.

The street sprinkler is on strike and
the dust is taking the town. Mr..
Rhodes, who has operated the sprinkler,
says that come of the people refuse to
pay for the service and that at the high
price he has to pay for the water, it is no
longer paying business. The street
sprinkler is one Of the most important
institutions Of the town and the matter
ought to be looked after by some one.
1t is probable that If some one would
take the matter up man could be
found to handle the business, and II
necessary better fund could be raised
to defray the expense. Some one
should take steps to find who has re-
fused to pay and If they cannot be in
duced to help, then to flud some new
ones TO take their places.

Maxine Elliott, who has taken a
house in London and will leave the
stage for a time to enjoy social life
is famous as an actress and also for
her beauty. Miss Elliott, who, upon
the stage, retains her maiden name,
under which she became famous, is
the wife of Nat G. Goodwin, to whom
she was married in 1898. She was
born in Rockland, Me-, and was but 16
when she first appeared on the stage.
Her serious work, however, did not
begin until 1890, when she became as
ISOLATED with E. S. Willard. Suisse
quently she became a member of Days
stock company and rapidly won dis
tinction, which has been enhanced by
her performance in her husbands COM
pany. Dramatically and socially she
is a great favorite in both the United
States and England.

In looking TO the publication of the
water supply, either the local farm sup
ply OF the water for great city, re-
markable results are announced from
the application of new method or
destroying micro-organisms in water,
which was discovered about a year ago
by Drs. Moore and Kellerman, of the
Bureau of Plant Industry at Washing
ton. It consists simply in dissolving a
certain quantity of copper sulphate in
the water to be purified. Fortunately
| the dilution can be made so large that
| no deleterious effects are produced up
on the water intended for drinking
purposes. One part of copper sulphate
to eight million parts of water is the
proportion generally used. and it is
pointed out that. in order to obtain
any effect of copper from such a mix
ture a man would have to drink forty
gallons of the water.
During the latter part of 1904 more
than fifty sources of water supply in
the United States were treated by this
method with gratifying success. Not
only are dangerous bacteria thus de-
stroyed but the green growths that fire.

the promise that by this treatment the
germs of typhoid fever may be entirely
removed from any source or water
supply.
In the case of a lake or pond the
chemical is applied by suspending bags
filed with copper sulphate over the
side of a boat while the boat is rowed
about. In two or three days the cop
per IS entirely precipitated from the
water. but the beneficial effects of the
treatment last for weeks or months.
It has been-suggested that this dis
covery may raise the question whether,

swept the whole range Of visible ocean.
Here and there appeared the black
smudge of distant liner and to the
northeast 1 made out low, dark line
that might be either haze or land. But
this was not all. Directly beneath me
I perceived a series Of dark objects, all
spouting black smoke. They were OF
various sizes, and by the formation
could conclude only one thing-that
they were the ships of a fleet, naval
squadron. Then 1 recalled the words
of the Kaiser that moonlight night at
the Chateau Lagunay:
There will be two great battles.
One. on the land, is before us; the other,
on )the sea, will occur within a fort
-sh9frt."
/ confess to feeling Of citation that
was here, in the air, in position to wit
ness the greatest naval battle or years,
although / regretted the necessity for
this test of arms. I observed that the
fleet was headed northeast. and desiring
a closer view I ran ahead mile or
more and descended. until ] had a fair
sight. The ships were French, by their
flags. Beautiful and stately were the
great vessels; grimly beautiful too.

for an opening. LeFevre had been SO
confident of his ability to manage his
Iaeroplane that he had set out in spite OF
the heavy wind that kept back all the
less venturesome aeronauts. He was
determined to witness the battle. Just
before he saw me he had attempted
to turn and found the steering gears
damned. Had / not rescued him he
would have probably found watery
grave.
It was now dark. The air was damp
and cold, so / drew the roof over part
of my car. LeFevre's light clothing
was dry enough to put on, and we sat
down to eat supper, followed by a CT
gar. learned then many things about
the impending battle, LeFevre being
familiar with the explosives and APP
paratus in use on both sides.
The Germans were depending largely
upon their late invention, the Calnite
aerial bomb. This projectile was to be
fired by compressed air from a mortar
like gun, and being fitted with gyro-
scope would maintain its elevation for
distance of eight miles The bomb
was two feet in diameter and about
three feet long, and moved so slowly as
to be visible during its whole course. It
contained a charge Of two hundred

surrounded as ever by that whirl Of
sparkling bubbles. Then it darted
away toward another. So interested
We're we in watching the uncanny move
mentS OF the strange boat that we did
not observe the confusion on board the
Frederick, nor on the others that were
successfully visited. LeFevre noticed
the great ships settling low In the
water, and spoke of IL to me. There
was something terrible about this de-
stroyer. Inside of fifteen minutes every
vessel in that fleet had been Stung, as
ii were, by this great hornet of the sea,
and every one was sinking. The sea-
men were throwing themselves off;
boats were putting out; RATS were flung
into the sea- Presently the Centrifugal
finished her work and we saw her
whirling away, stopping here and there
to smell n submarine and to kiss IL or
to sting ii as it happened to be friend
or foe. What a sight! Twenty-four
German ships sinking, sinking, going
down to eternal silence. One after an
other they vanished. The torpedo boats
came to the surface, saw what had hap
pened, and put out for home and neu-
trail ports. The Centrifugal, the grim
destroyer vanished. The great battle
was over. And neither side could be
said to have won. 1t was practical an
inhalation for both. Two magnificent
fleets of modern war vessels gone, alb
solutely gone; quarter of n billion
dollars in battleships and thousands of
brave fellows dead, only to satisfy the
chickering's of diplomats-sacrifices to
foolish notions of honor.
To LeFevre the operations of the Gen.
trifugal were a triumph for France, and
he was enthusiastic in his delight. But
/ cared little one way or the other. L
was tired of it all. Life had been too
strenuous for me. 1 wanted quiet for
while, and naturally my thoughts
turned to Aimee, my sweetheart. was
she safe?
LeFevre insisted that I come with
him to his home, but / refused. Turn
ing to the east we made our way rapid
ly TO the French coast. Here we settled
to earth in the open country, and after
bidding LeFevre adieu l rose again and
made my way east. / had but one
thought, now that the battle was over,
and that thought 1 was putting into ac-

! fleet, and thither we followed.
But whatever work awaited this ter
ror must be done quickly. The Ger
mans were wonderfully accurate with
their Calnite aerial bombs. Ship after
ship quivered, split open and sank like
n broken teacup. The force of the cal
mite was so great that it operated for a
distance Of n hundred yards on every
side, more than once sinking several
of the smaller ships at one explosion.
LeFevre groaned as, looking back, he
saw one of the largest battleships col
lapse. fairly smashed into fragments.
He shook his fist at the Centrifugal.
"On. on!'' he shouted. do thy work,
laggardl"
The Centrifugal moved swiftly. At
intervals il came up with a submarine,
paused a moment to ascertain whether
German or French, and acted according

darted at the victim. touched il. and as
quickly darted away. What terrible
power IL exerted could not understand

There seemed to be no escape, no single
