TIRED OF SOLDERING.
So Marion Smith Took French Leave
and Is Caught in Topeka.

Marion G. W. Smith is pining In a
cell at the city prison today because
the government had pinned fifty dol
lar want tag" on him, and Officer
Hobson is pleased with the thought
that Uncle Sam is Indebted to him to
the above amount.
Smith Was soldier at Fort Riley
and though ~he-does not appear to be
of age says that he IS twenty-one years
of age and that he has served a three
present enlistment sHe complained
bitterly of the treatment that he re-
ceived at Fort Riley where he has
been since his portion Of the army ar
rived there for the maneuvers last
week.
He claims that the heat and the ex-
ira work which the recruits are COM
PEELED to do is the reason there are so
many assertions and that the boys are
leaving at every opportunity.
Il suppose" he said, that I Will get
at least thirty days in the guard house
for what have done and then they
will hang a ten dollar fine on me and
charge me with thirteen dollars more
because I stuck up my gun. That's
easy though when compared with the
work that we have been compelled to
do with mercury standing about the
hundred mark.

I don't care much what they say to me
or do I had a job on Kansas avenue
and was going to go to work here, but
the jig is I'D now. This is a fine town
and when I get out of this I guess that
I will have dad set me up in business
for I think that the location is a good
one for saloon. for I haven't seen a.
bar since I have been in town and dad
is in the wholesale liquor business
down in Georgia.
"Since I come to think of it dad is

MARsHALL's Is POPULAR.
City Park Filled With People to Lis
ten to Music Last Night.

Unless the music loving public
comes in relays, instead of "by the
bunch" some arrangements must be
made to extend the City park into
the Kaw river. The regular atten-
dance, since the opening night of the
MarshaIFs concerts, has been almost
uncomfortable.
Last night a few thousand people
went Down to the park by the river
side and sat on the grass and flower
beds. while Mr.. Marshall and his band
delivered the following program:

15EsAKI 1AIAN WANTED TOO MUCH.
So Charles NIcI.ennan Who Wouldn't
Pay Is Under Arrest.

One of the peculiar suits which Is
being juggled in the city court al the
present time is that of Charles Nc
Lehman, a negro, who is charged with
stealing a ride on the Rock Island
+rain. He pleaded guilty yesterday,
bnd was assessed a light fine which
with the costs, amounted to about SIS,
which he paid. He returned shortly
after and asked for his money back
and said that he had decided to with
draw his plea of guilty and fight the
case.
He claims that he got on a Rock
Island train at the request of one Of
the brakemen, who had agreed to car
~ him to Topeka for one dollar He
states that after the train was going
so fast that he could not get off that
the brakeman demanded full fare and
that when he refused to pay the
brakeman telegraphed ahead and had
him arrested
1t is evident that there is some
thing more than a charge of stealing a
ride on freight train involved in the
trial of the case. though those who
should know, refuse to make state
ment as to the purpose of the arrest
Of McLennan When arrested the de-
fendant had about $40 on his person
and he insists that if he had not had
so much money he would have never
been detained and says that he ex-
poets to be released as soon as this
money is exhausted in hiring LAWYERS
and paying court fees

APPLEBY MUST BE CONTENT.
Gets Only Pittance Of $4,000 a Year
From Wife's Estate.

St. Paul. Mimi. Aug. 17.-Judge
Hallam today decided that the ante
nuptial agreement between DR.. W. A.
Appleby and Cornelia Day Wilder
which provided that DR.. Appleby
should draw from the estate of Mrs
Appleby annually $4,000 providing he
did not marry again is valid.
The estate of Mrs. Appleby Is valued
at $4,000 and is a part of what is
known as the Wilder charity, which
by the wills of Mr.. and Mrs. Wilder
and their daughter. Mrs. Appleby. all
deceased, was left in trust to the
worthy poor of St Paul. The entire
estate amounts to about 81, 100000.
DR.. Appleby sought TO have the ante
nuptial agreement declared void He
also tried to have set aside the charit-
able bequest in his wife's viii on the
ground that It was void and that the
Wilder home with fund OF $1,000 a
year for maintenance was rightfully
his, whether or not he lived in it.
The probate court decided adversely
to DR.. Appleby on all these points and
an appeal was taken to the district
court which today decided with the
probate court.
