Few men in Kansas carry as much
Kansas history around in their head as
John S. Gilmore, editor of the Wilson
County Citizen. He lived in Kan
sas before the early days" and al
ways knew what was going on. Here
Is one of his historical notes: Judge
who successfully met certain kicks
filed against him in Washington. was
reappointed by President Roosevelt for
another term and duly confirmed. Judge
Gillett has been much referred to ana
quoted by the newspapers on account
of his instructions in regard to gun
foting' He was a Lyon county rustic
youth during the war and he and the
editor of this paper galloped much to-
gether on Indian ponies. Our dun Kaw
always beat his cayuse on a long
stretch Frank Gillett has a younger
brother at Kingman, Kan, who has
been district judge for several terms
and is now on the bench. He IS Preston
B. and was so named for Preston 3.
Plumb, on whose farm just west of En-
poria he was born. The newspapers in
varIably spell Frank Giletts name
with a final e. and It Is commonly pro-
nounced with the accent on the last
syllable when it should be accented on
the first. This has been going on so
long that probably Frank is reconciled
thereto"
