DOLLARS ROLLING IN.
Republican Campaign Cry VIII Be
prosperity and Roosevelt

New York. Aug. Congressman
Sherman. who is chairman of the Re
publican congressional committee.
came down from Utica yesterday and
formally got to work on the volumin-
Gus mail which has accumulated since
he appealed through the newspapers
to every Republican voter to contribute
81 to the campaign fund. Mr. Sher-
man said that the result Of the appeal
was extremely gratifying
Il do not want to go into exact de-
tails he remarked. "but I can say
that the replies containing 81 for the
fund have already reached well up
into four figures. Today alone were
received more than zoe replies, so we
have every reason TO be satisfied with
the results of this new departure in
soliciting campaign contributions.
Among today's contributions were
some from Kansas, Kentucky, Mime
sota Wisconsin, Virginia, Missouri and
from every one of the eastern states
and New England.
I'VE have figured that probably not
more than ten Republicans in 100 will
see the appeal. If one out of every
ten. however, sends us dollar we will
have enough to meet the expenses Of
our campaign. According to the vote
for Roosevelt there are 1900, 600 Re-
publicans in the country. One dollar
from one per cent Of these would give
US $46, 900.
Mr.. Sherman was asked what the
rallying cry of the campaign would be.
He answered:
prosperity and Roosevelt. and you
may add that the record of the last
congress will also be made a part Of
the argument to voters. We have every
reason to be proud of that record. al
though prosperity and Roosevelt is in
spring enough. on can add all the
details that go with that, but it is a
little early for details"

KILLED HIS MAN.
Lee Krebs Onis Thought He Was
Shooting a HighASayman.

An application has been fled with Gov
ernor Hoch by Fauleoner & Cunning
ham, attorneys of Arkansas City, for
the pardon or conmutation of sentence
of Lee Krebs, who is in the states
prison, serving an indeterminate SEN
tence of not less than five years or more
than twenty-one. on a conviction for
Tnanslaughter in the first degree for the
murder of Harry Anderson which oc-
CURED on July rs, 1905. Accompanying
the application for the pardon is a petit
ton praying that it be granted which
is signed by over four hundred of the
citizens of Arkansas City. Ella Ander-
son, the widow of the murdered man,
is serving a term in prison of not less
than one year or more than two, she
having been convicted on minor charge
of manslaughtr for the killing of her
husband.
There were many peculiar incidents
surrounding the killing Of Anderson.
According to the papers fled with the
pardon application, which are a. resume
of the evidence adduced at the Krebs
trial, Krebs, who ran q livery barn in
Arkansas City, received an order for a
horse and buggy on the evening of July
25. It was to be delivered to Homer
Wilson on a. street corner. There was
no one else in the barn at the time so
Krebs drove the rig to the corner. an
pointed Wilson insisted that he go
driving with him and he did So. A little
ways outside of the city they drove up
to another rig which contained Miss
Maude Barlow and Mrs. Anderson. Will
son and Miss Barlow had been keeping
company for some time and at his sug-
gestion he got in the rig with her and
Mrs. Anderson got in the rig with Krebs
and they started to drive back to the
city
Mrs. Anderson and her husband had
81 hi orfr al
culties and had not been living together
for some time prior to this occasion.
After she was seated in tht buggy with
Krebs she took a revolver from the folds
of her dress and laid it on the seat. She
told KrebS that her husband had threat
ened to kill her and that she carried 1t
for self protection. 1t was quite dark
whan Krebs and Mrs. Anderson started
to drive back to the city and they had
not proceeded very far when man
jumped from some bushes alongside of
the road and sprang to the horses head.
Krebs and Mrs. Anderson believed they
were being held up and Krebs grabbed
the revolver from the seat and fired. He
insists that he fred at the ground for
the purpose of soaring the man. But
the bullet hit the man and he fell to the
ground The horse became frightened
and bolted and when control Of it was
gained again Krebs and Mrs. Anderson
were near the city. He drove her home
and then went back to where he had
been held up" He found the man lying
by the road side and discovered that it
was Anderson. Anderson had been hit
in the groin and his death resulted from
the wound
Krebs insists that he did not know
who he was shooting at and believed
/ that he was being held up or he would
never have fred. He and Mrs. Ander-
son were arrested on a charge Of murder
/ in the first degree but Krebs was con-
/ degree and MfsZAuderson for a minor
/ offense.
