Calico's markings which stuck
ks,S in ones mind, as does Il haunt
t.asEgJ Ing memory, intangible, but
unforgotten. Surely the pattern was
obtrusive enough to halt attention, yet
its vagaries were so unexpected, SO
surprising, that even as you looked you
might hesitate at declaring whether II

were carrot red and if he had four
white stockings or only three. 1t was
safer simply to say that he was white
where he was not red and red where
he was not white. Moreover, his was

Altogether Calico was horse to be
remarked and to be remembered. Yet,
and again yet, Calico was not wholly
to blame for his many faults. Farm
breeding, which was more or less re.
sponsible for his bizarre appearance,
should also bear the burden Of his fall
ings. As a colt he had been the mar
vel of the county, from Orono to Her
mon Center. He had been petted,
teased, humored, exhibited, coddled,
fooled with-everything save properly
trained and broken.
So he grew up trace shirker and
halter puller, with disposition, temper,
ament and general behavior as un-
even as his cOloring.
"The most good fer nothin' animal
ever wasted grain on!' declared Uncle
Enoch.

To the Public.

AT the late Democratic county conven.
tion my name was repeatedly placed
before the convention for representative
and repeatedly declined, and assigned
various reasons why | did not care to run.
Among other things, | said that had
voted for Roosevelt; that IL elected repre-
sentative | was likely In the selection of
a United States Senator, if there was no
prospect Of electing a democrat, to aid
the republicans to select some man like
Stubbs, Benson or Bristow or somebody
like that, who stood for the ''ssuare deal"
Tho convention seemed satisfied with
this declaration and nominated me asain
and was so insistent and persistent that
finally stated that for the present | would
not decline the nomination, but might do
so later.
1t Is the purpose Of this card to state
that | thank the convention for the nomi-
nation, that accept the nomination and
that shall make the race and do all can
to win, and that | earnestly ask support
OF all fair minded men of every political
party who believe In square deal.

who, housed as he was under the mattress
looked out from darkness.


The Dodge House al this time was the
great hotel Of all western Kansas, and 1t
was filed by town boarders, commercial
traveless and eastern tourists. At the
moment when luckless "Paddy. the.
Bear" stood under the wrecked bed,
half dead Of fright, and the terror
sticken salesman glared into the BEARS
frery orbs and went mad, the numerous
guests Of the Dodge House, many Of
them ladies, were at breakfast In the big
dining room. The apartment Of the
salesman was partitioned off In one cor
ner Of this big dining room. After a
long look into the balls of fire beneath
the bed, q glance at the shadowy form Of
the bear, remembrance of the up
heaval of the bed, and the brief re.
alizaton, that he had seen and felt these
things, but that they were not, and could
not be real, the maddened salesman, In
most scapty attire, burst through the
door of bis room and landed among the
astonished guests at the breakfast table.
As he broke through the door, and at
each leap toward the middle of the room
he roared at the top of his voice: "Boys,
I've got 'sm! Bye I've got 'em!"
His friends captured him and got him out
Of sight. His fight into the dining room
had sobered him completely, and from
that time to the present il is said he has
been temperate, sober citizen.

BAD'WRECK MONDAY.
Number Nine Went into the Ditch
Near Lewis. Mail Clerk Killed.

The fast passenger Number 8 on the
Santa Fe went into the ditch early Mon
day morning just east Of Lewis while
running at speed Of fifty i've miles an
hour, making an ugly appearing wreck,
but resulting In the loss Of only one life.
The track for long distance was torn
up and the rails twisted into all kinds of
shapes. The mail coach was thrown
clear off the right Of way and through
wire fence. The mail coach was one Of
the new steele cars which will stand al
most any kind Of crash, but one Of the
mail clerks, Ira H. Wood, Of Kansas
City was standing so that he was thrown
through the door. He was caught und T
the car and was ground to pieces.
The wreck was caused by broken
rail. The engine got oyer the break in
the rail but the tender was upset and
dragged for quite distance. The en-
gine stayed on the track so that the en-
gineer aud fireman were unhurt.
The smoker contained quite crowd of
men. This car was hoisted almost to
the edge Of the right of way and the
passengers we're tumbled about pro-
missuously. Jim Springer who used to
IN IN Dodge City and who now travels
for a grocery house out Of Hutchinson,
was In the smoker. He was pitched over
the backs of four seats and lit on the back
of his neck, but came through without
any broken bones. Chas, Bush of Hutch.
inson was sitting by the side Of Springer.
Bush was also shot toward the front for
some distance but escaped with sprain-
ed hand and lame back.
The chair car was upset nearer to the
track and the passengers were well shaken
up. The only one, however, who was at
all seriously hurt was Mrs. Alice Smith,
Of St. Joseph, Missouri, who had rib
fractured.
All of the passengers except Mrs. Smith,
were able to continue the trip on stub
train which was run out Of Dodge City
at little after Q O'Clock the same morn
ing.
Conductor Baxter had charge of the
train which was wrecked. The engineer
was Mr.. Ballew, and Fireman Toms was
with him.
E. Soper and W. r. Ellison were also
In the mail car. Ellison had q hand
mashed some and his side was bruised.
Soper received painful scalp wound.

DEMOCRATS NOMINATED
Saturdays Convention Names Full
Ticket with Exception Of County Clerk

| odturuayS convention NameS Full
Ticket with Exception of County Clerk
The democrats at their county con.
yention last Saturday nominated a full
ticket with the exception Of county
clerk. This Office was left with the CEN
tral committee to fill at later date II
they should so decide, but the probability
is that 1t will not be filed.
There was fair sized representation In
the convention. The delegates had a
good deal Of trouble over heading their
ticket. 1t was the desire to nominate
Geo. M. Hoover, Of Dodge City for
Representative. The matter of NOM
mating him was easy enough, but when
they got that far they were at stand
still. Mr.. Hoover, as he has stated fol
some TIME In the past does not want the
place and be refused the nomination. It
was handed out to him again, and once
again and he refused. Finally Mr..
Hooyer said he would not refuse further,
ut this time, but would reserve the right
to resign later on. If bis health should
improve in the near future, he stated
he may make the race for the ofiice to
please his friends.
The temporary and permanent chair.
man of the convention was Mr.. Hoover,
and L. l.. Taylor was secretary.
The resolutions endorsed the Dem
ocratic state platform, Col. Harris and
William j. Bryan.
The four candidates for sheriff did not
materialize ia the convention. The
nominee was Ii. Il. Bell, who made the
race two years ago. The ticket as nom.
mated was:
Geo. M. Hoover, for Representative,
II, B. Bell, for Sheriff.
Oscar Carmichael, for Treasurer.

helped to compose the audience. The

city during the present campaign and may
be taken as an index to the trend Of
political questions of today. 1t was a

how the modern Corporations" were
evolved. This led to thorough discus

of today-the regulation and control of
wealth as pertains to corporations, such
as railroads, packing companies and
other ''trusts" or combinations. The
speaker explained the purpose and pro-
visions Of recent antitrust legislation and
paid high tribute in this respect to the

Roosevelt In his advocacy and promotion
of good laws to this direction. Judge
Madison Is firm beliver In law enforce

BURIED HER CHILD ALIVE.
MOTHERS UNNATURAL CRIME

Roosevelt, n. NJ. Jan. H. Charg-
ed with making away with her s.
months old child by burying it alive
in the back yard of her home. Mrs.
l.. Aiken of Lakewood, town lying
about sixty miles north of here. is in
jail at Carlsbad.
While the crime is supposed to have
been committed last Sunday, the first
details of the tragedy were made pub
lie today.
Mrs. Aiken appeared at the home
OF neighboring ranchman last Mon
day and announced In matter-of-
fact way that strange man had cal
led at-her home ON Sunday about
midnight and taken her baby from
her, saying ,that he WIS going to XIII
It, She tainted, she claims and suf-
fered so from the shock that she was
unable to leave her home to report
the matter until, number of hours
afterwurd
Her actions prompted officials to
make an examination of the promises.
and search disclosed the fact that
the child had been buried about 500
yards from the house, and the earth
heaped up over the grave in cunning
imitation of prairie dog mound.
There were no bruises on the body.
and physicians who examined the
corpse incline to the belief that the
child was alive when placed In the
sround, for death was apparently due
to suffocation.
The woman's husband left home
about five weeks ago, and since that
time she has been alone with her
child, The officers are not inclined
10 believe the woman's story and
have charged her with the crime. IL
Is believed that the disappearance
of the husband had some connection
with the death of the child. and on
Investigation viii be made along these
lines.
