can't see it that way.
This morning the painters com
menced the work of removing the old
kalsomine from the walls of the main
room. Secretary Barnes worked on
undisturbed in his little office.

Barnes, that I must get out of here
| told him it would be impossible; that
l was hard at work on my annual re-
port, and that I could not move this
work to the top floor of the building
and work there amid that confusion.
I hope to finish this work by Saturday
noon, and then they can have this
room.
"As matter of fact, 1 am not in
terfering with their work in the least.

Hughes moved in here before he goes.
He is afraid that unless I get out at
once, he can't get away for the
Fourth. That's all there is to it. If

and put on the fourth floor. I might
as well be put out of the building en-

THE WHEAT IS DAMAGED.
A Storm in Sumner County Caused
Considerable Destruction.

Caldwell. Kan. June 27.-A wind
and rainstorm visited this section
Wednesday. Many trees, some as large
as ten and twelve inches in diameter,
were taken entirely from the ground.
Large limbs and branches were strewn
about and in many places the side
walks are b1ockaded by fallen trees.
So far as can be learned. no buildings
were destroyed. Communication by
wire with the country northwest of
here where the storm appeared to be
most severe is entirely cut off. 1t is
therefore impossible at this time to
learn the extent of damage done the
wheat, but it is believed to have been
great. Some hail fell here, but not
enough to do any damage.

of the murdered mans hair. There
are others who believe that the VIC
TINS hair is jet black and are con-
sequently a bit skeptical of the identi-
hcation of the body as that of Zook.
Mr.. Robert Meyers, who identified
looks body, says that the photograph
sent by Mrs. Zook is a good likeness
or her son and that he is certain that
1t was young Zook with whom he
talked on Sunday afternoon and is
also positive that the clothing worn by
Zook then corresponds with that worn
by the murdered man. 1t is believed
that if Zook was not the man he
would nave made his whereabouts
known before this. In Mrs. Zook's s
letter she said that she had received a
postal card from her son saying that
he was en- route from Denver to Kan
sas City with a train load of sheep
and expected to get in Kansas City on
June ri. Probably zook wrote to his
sheep train so she would have no oc-
casion to think that he had turned
tramp and was beating his way from
Denver to Kansas City. He told Mr..
Meyers on Sunday that he was bound
for Kansas City.
Sheriff Wilkerson is bending every eff
fort to locate the woman who called at
Shellabarger'S undertaking rooms three
times on Tuesday for the purpose of
viewing the body of the murdered man
thought she might be able to identify
him 1t was thought at first that this
woman was the notorious Hat" Maybe
who was held in custody on Tuesday
night by the sheriff because he thought
she might know something about the
murder of Zook or perhaps the murder
of Morkinson as she was in Van Horns
company during the day that Morkinson
was killed Hat established the fact
that she was not the woman who call
ed at the undertaking rooms. She was
released by the sheriff yesterday after
noon.
The woman who viewed the remains
wore a sun bonnet and those in the
undertaking rooms did not get a good
look at her face. The sheriff expects to
be able to find this woman before long
and has an idea that he knows who she
is.
Sheriff Wilkerson's activity during the
past week in running down clues in the
two murder mysteries has been little
short of marvellous. He has been on
the go continuously night and day
since early on Wednesday morning of
last week. Those who have tried to
keep up with him are now worn to a
frazzle and in need of a weeks time to
but the sheriff seems to be
just as lively as he was a week ago and
is working just as hard and as long
today as on any of the days during the
past week He feels well repaid for
the work he has put in by the results
he has accomplished.

ways needed in the way I would like
to have seen it.
Work of the Federation
the witness said, always looked out for
suffering members, their widows and
children. The Butte union alone up
to five years ago, had paid out a mil
lion and a quarter dollars in sick
benefits and charity. No member of
the union has gone to the poor house
since the organizatio was formed.
Boyce said that prior to the organ
ization of the Western Federation of
Miners smeltermen and miners were
required to work 10 to IL hours a day.
He described graphically the hard
ships of the smeltermen, saying he
had suffered himself from many of the
ills and physical disabilities growing
out of such work.
The federation has frequently en-
ployed lawyers to fight for the eight
hour law and all such laws as applied
to mining have been passed in the
west since the organization of the fed
Grafton, the organization has also
done much to secure the increase of
miners wages, doing away with the
system of paying off in scrip redeem
able at the company's store. the adop-
ton of such plans. etc.
Boyce went at some length into the
owners seldom, if ever, voluntarily
adopted means of preventing acci-
dents. The killing of men. he de-
clared, was so common in his own ex-
perience as to be almost unnoticeable.
Boyce was still under direct ex-
animation when the luncheon recess
until 1880 p. m. was taken.
