HAD A BIG TIME
His Good Resolutions Lasted Only
Few Hours on New Year.

His Good Resolutions Lasted Only
aFew Hours on New Year.
The colored people of Dodge City had
"lestIble" and ball on New Years
sight, and probably would have had
bully time II the affair had not come to
grief through head on collision with
John Oasin's New Year resolutions which
we're made early In the morning, we're
hanging fire at noon and had totally
collapsed by night fall.
John had only been here short time.
He was porter on the Santa Fe and got
his time from the company as Christ
mas present On New Years morning
John was repentant and decided that he
would cut out all foolishness, razors and
booze included. But when night came
and John started forth In his Sunday
clothes and a high standing collar he
declared himself to be the original and
only coffee colored king. In that frame
of mind he repented that be had been
silly enough to form good resolutions.
SO John tanked up and cake. walked
into the room where the supper was being
served. He wore razor In one pocket
and bottle In the other. He slashed
his razor at one Of the boys just to liven
him up little. Then he fell full length
upon the table to see II 1t would hold
him up, and 1t didn't The supper was
pretty well disorganlzed when John left
for the dance.
AT the dance he was busy man. He
Immediately made a wicked razor play
at one Of the boys and 1t took some time
TO quell the commotion. Finally be be-
came joyous again and posed In the CEN
ter Of the room holding his razor aloft In
a tragic manner, while he announced
that there was going to be such QUITTING.
He directed his attention this time to
one of the women aud insisted that he
was goiHg to carve her like Christmas
chicken.
Several fellows grabbed John aRd held
him still while one, armed with heavy
swinging two.by -four timber played
down upon Jshn's head with the force Of
pile driver. The blows did not hurt
Johns head but they came mighty near
breaking his nsck, and he gave up trying
to run the dance after that and went up
town to start something. he ran into the
city marshal and was ushered 70 the city
jail.
Before midnight John was once more
repentans, and had formed new ses Of
resolutions.

SENATOR SMITHS STATEMENT.

10 last weeks issue of the Kinsley
Mercury, Senator Fred Dumont Smith
had the following frank statement over
his signature relative to the Indictment
recently returned against him, by the
federal grand jury on the charge of in
fluenciDg government inspector In GER
tain land fraud cases under Investigations:
at Is doubtless no news to the readers
that the writer has been indicted by a
federal grand jury on the charge of brib-
Ing a government Inspector. The specific
charge is that paid the inspector large
sum of money to influence his action In
four land fraud investigations he was
then making
~ have no intention Of trying the case
here, but 1t is sufficient answer to the
charge to say that out Of some twelve
cases that the inspector was investigating
In adjoining counties, one Of my clients
was the only man imprisoned. And bis
indictment, fine and imprisonment were
procured BY the inspector am alleged to
have bribed. II this fact had been per-
mitted to come before the grand jury
there would have been no Indictment.
"There are many other circumstances
tts.y 1npfut IN ha htf Ia tfr
fact ought to be enough for my friends.
"If bribed Mr.. Ryan 1t was money
wasted. If / Influenced him it must
have been against my client.
ITO my friends Ia this county who
have seen me in court and In my office
for nearly twenty years, who have en-
plpyed me In their litigation and have
known intimately my manner Of practice
ting law, it is hardly necessary for me
to deny the charge. AS to the other cit
liens of this, my home, only ask sus-
pension of judgement till the facts are
known.
"rhe press of the state with few ex.
ceptions has treated me with great fair
ness, a fairness which profoundly APP
reciste. Here and there among the
the smaller fry, some of those creatures
that belong to the coyote tribe have said
mean and cruel things that they did not
say till they thought was ruined help
less But the real newspaper men of the
state have given me square deal.

LITTLE PROGRESS MADE.
insurgents Evidently Do Not Want
to Make Peace.

Havana. Sept. 1S.-Notwithstandin
some appearance of activity, no de-
cisive progress was made today in the
peace negotiations. A few peace seek
ers went westward i'm automobiles with
the idea of reaching and comforting
with Pine Guerra, the insurgent leader
in Pinar Del Rio Province, and others
visited Loynaz Del Castillo the COM
mander of the insurgent forces in Ha-
vana province; but the only definite
thing reported is that the insurgents in
the field are not willing to enter on
negotiations until all the conspiracy
prisoners shall have been released.
While it is possible that those most
highly responsible may reach basis of
agreement in time to present it to Sec
rotary Taft and Assistant Secretary Of
State Bacon when they land here to-
morrow, there is nothing to show that
such a basis has been reached as yet,
and there is evidence that if it has
been reached it will not be accepted by
the insurgents following.
