LIVES devoted to killing indians.
A few years ago there died on
Burnt river in Baker county man
named Conner, aged at the time OF
his death, about so years.
He came to eastern Oregon Few
wears before his death and lived
alone IN a cabin on Burnt river
where he mined along the river and
raised poultry, peddling his poultry
to the nearby mining camps. Few
people knew him and he died alone
in his cabin and it was several days
after his death before it was discov-
erel by some chance passer-by
Conner had lived in western Kan
sas in the early seventies and while
away from home at work his fam
lily, consisting of wife and two chill
dren, was murdered and his home
burned by Indians.
Conner took an oath upon his re-
turn to his desolated home that he
would kill every Indian he could way
lay, during the remainder of his life
and for a dozen years he devoted his
life to that oath, in Kansas. He did
not know. himself, how many In
dians. had fallen to his unerring rifle
and after coming to eastern Oregon
IT was suspected that he did not let
an opportunity pass to further glut
his revenge.
However. the strangcst history in
this line comes from Nebraska.
Upon a bank of the Missouri river
in Cedar county, Nebraska, lives
alone a man 90 years old who prob
ably has killed hundreds Of Indians.
He himself does not know how many,
but i3 years of his life were devoted
to tn, one effort Of killing in revenge
for the massacre of his three chill
dren.
Hanson Wiseman and his wife and
baby went from West Virginia, to
northeastern Nebraska long before
the war That country was then the
wild west.
In 1862 he enlisted as a member of
General Sully's brigade, and in spite
of the warnings of his neighbors he
departed with the troop. Less than
a year later Wiseman's three chill
eren were murdered and his cabin
burned by marauding Indians.
Mrs. Wiseman had gone to Yank-
ton after supplies, leaving her 16-
year-old son to protect his little sis-
ter and baby brother. On her return
on the fifth day she found the cabin
a partial ruin and the boy and baby
dead. Her daughter was alive, but
with scalp gone and tongue cut out
she lived but few days. The moth
re, crazed with grief, ran away.
The news reached Wiseman In
Montana. Without asking leave he
started back to Cedar county. After
a long search he found his wife, but
it was a year before she was able to
tell him the story.
Close by where the Wisemans had
lived was the hunting ground Of the
Poncas, and the trrritory was new
then and invaded by the Yanktor
Sioux, who were ever at conflict with

FAMOUS WISCONSIN SENATOR

Practice Law While in Senate anil

Own Interests.

L EL"-.
1t was announced in Milwaukee,
Sunday that United States Senato
John C. Spooner has forwarded his
resignation to GOV. Davidson, to take
effect May 1 next. The news came as
a complete surprise in Wisconsin.
Gov. Davidson said he had not yet
received the resignation and could
hardly believe 1t to be true.
AS to Senator Spooner's successor
Gov. Davidson said 1t would be left to
the present legislature to elect a sue
icessor to fill the unexpired term. Gov.
Davidson would not discuss the prob
able successor other than that he pre-
stunned some of the Wisconsin con-
gressmen, such as Cooper and Esch,
who We're candidates for the senator
ship at the time Senator La Toilette
was elected to succeed Senator
Quarles, would again enter the field.
Gov. Davidson said he would not be
a candidate.
Lieut.. Gov. w. ID. Conner, of whom
mention has been made at times as a
possible successor to Spooner when his
term expired, expressed surprise at
the news of the resignation, but was
not prepared at this time to make a
statement.
