Kills His Father, then Hides Body

DELAWARE, OHIO, Feb. "a prisoner
at the Jail here-Mont Runyons, of Will
liamsburg, W. Va, awaiting trial on a
forgery charge-broke down with the
weight of guilty conscience and confessed
to Chief of Police Matthews that few
weeks ago he shot and killed his father
during quarrel and concealed his body.
West Virginia officials were notified of
Runyon's confession. Runyons declares
his willingness to go to West Virginia and
conduct the officials to where his father s
body lies.
Runyons came to Delaware short time
ago, and in payment for some dental work
performed by DR.. Mills gave Mills a forged
check and received some cash in change.
He was arrested before he could get out of
town, and has refused to talk much until
he was put in the sweatbox by Chief of
Police Matthews, who demanded that the
prisoner tell all about himself
Runyons finally broke down and between
sobs told the Chief that his wife, with two
little children, had deserted him few
weeks ago, and that he started to leave
for Florida, intending to take the train at
Moorefeld, W. Va. While on his way to
Moorefeld he met his father, who accom-
panied him short distance to the station
The two quarrelled over i'll treatment of
Runyons' wife, and Runyons said that he
became angry at his father because the lat
ter reprimanded him for drinking so hard.
At that time they were two miles within a
"trip Of timber land, and he says he shot
his father, leaving the body obscured from
the sight Of any human eye.

He is Claimed by Four Women.

When Joseph Khameanska was arraigned
in the Yorkville Police Court, New York,
recently Policeman File told Magistrate
Crane that he had list of four women
that claimed the man as husband, and
that he had information that led him to
believe he could produce eight women
that were under the impression that they
were the mans wives.
The technical charge against Khamean
ska was that of being disorderly person,
made by woman who wanted to get back
81, 500 she says she gave him when she
married him. The warrant for him was
obtained on September 5, 1906. The
complainant was Mary Urick, of 106 st.
Marks Place, who married him on October
16, 1904 She said today that so far as
she knew she was wife No. | She added
that she had certain admiration for man
that could acquire four wives in less than
three years, but she considered that he
had deceived her and she wanted to see
him punished.
1t Was quite by accident that knowl-
edge Of the other women came to the
court S attention. At the time that Mrs.
Khameanska applied for warrant for her
husband she said he had left her and she
did not know where to find him. There
came to the court another woman who
wanted warrant for her husband on the
charge of abandonment.
Both warrants were turned over to Court
Policeman File, who noticed similarity
in the names He brought both women
together and the compared notes, Each
produced photograph of herself and hus-
band taken on the day of their marriage.
'.Why, that's my husband said No.
2. as she looked at the other woman pho
tograph.
No. 2 said she was Apolina Undine, of
622 East Seventeenth street, before she
married the man in the spring of 1905.
He told her that he had plenty of money
and after the wedding she need never again
work as ii tailoress. but she could entrust
him with the $50 she had saved. She
gave him her savings. Two months
later he disappeared.
The two women and the policeman be-
Gan search for him after their conference
in court.
They located Khameanska and another
wife in jersey City, put before he could he
arrestedthe couple disappeared. The police
man had similar experience with wife
No. 4 in Brooklyn. Finally the man was
caught in Front street, this city, today
living with still another wife and was ar
rested While waiting to be arraigned in
court the prisoner was asked how he came
to have SO many wives.
81 don't know he replied. ''They
say married them, but guess they mar
ried me, for was intoxicated and couldn t
know what was going on. The women
run after good looking man, and it, not
my fault if they all like me, -
Wife No. was in court to press her
complaint No. 2 was sick in Passaic and
i could not be in court. 1t was decided
to put off the examination until Il later
date, so as to get together as many women
as choose to prosecute the man.

FRIDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY IS. 1907.
Negro Sergeant Mixed.

WARRINGTON, February 6.-The Sen
ate Committee on Military Affairs began
its third day of the Brownsville hearing
today. Jacob d. Frazer, former first
sergeant of Company d, Twenty-ffth In
fantry, was the first witness. Senator
Foraker conducted the examination, and
he had not proceeded far when his methods
were challenged by Senator Pettus, who
declared that the Ohio Senator was "lead-
ing" the witness.
Frazer testified that each man was al
lowed 20 rounds of ammunition, 10 OF
which were carried in belt and 10 in a
cartridge box. The cartridge boxes were
not carried during the inspection, but were
left at quarters. About two days after the
trouble all ammunition was ordered turned
in and all was properly accounted for.
Asked if he had anything to do with the
trouble, Frazer answered no, and said he
did not know of any other member OF his
company being engaged in it; nor did he
believe that any members of his company
were in the ARRAY. He declared there
was no conspiracy of silence. "
Frazer is physical giant and he created
much amusement in relating an account of
his capture in the Philippines of bandit
who had terrorized the constabulary.
Senator Warner cross examined the wit
ness. Frazer got considerably mixed up.
He had believed, he said, that some of
the soldiers had "shot up the town,
but the opinion was based on the fact that
his company commander had so told him
he had never heard any of the soldiers add
NIT it.
He said he believed the citizens OF
Brownsville had themselves '.shot up the
town to drive the soldiers away.
Senator Overman asked: 'Do you
think citizens would kill one of their own
number-commit murder-tO get you
away?'
Frazer replied II don know whether
anyone was killed; they wanted us away.
Colored men would spend very little money
in the saloons on account of their treat
ment and the citizens of Brownsville
wanted white soldiers, who spend the
money"
In describing the cleaning Of a gun for
inspection Frazer stated that it took from
half an hour to 40 minutes. Sergeant
Harris had previously testified that it took
about 10 minutes.
Senator Overman questioned the wit
ness regarding the whereabouts Of men
who were not at roll call and were unac-
counted for, but Frazer could give no di
rect testimony on that point.
Charles Dade, former cook Of Company
ID, testified that he had been in the service
for % years. He stated that the Mckee
yer belts and boxes were carried by the
men at the inspection on the morning after
the shooting. Frazer had previously stated
that these boxes were not worn at that in
spection.
Witness Reeves when asked about the
gun inspection stated that the cook s gun
was the only one that was not thoroughly
clean, but that cobwebs were found in 1t.
Reeves said that Major Penrose had Or
dered every nom commissioned officer to
find out who did the shooting.
The examination of Reeves was not con
cluded when the committee adjourned un-
til tomorrow.

Alfalfa For Maryland

Mr.. Charles A. Councilman, of Worth
ington Valley, who has been successful in
growing alfalfa, is testing several varieties
of this great forage plant, with especial
reference to their adaptation to the soils of
Maryland
He prepared field of 20 acres last Au-
gust and sOwed the first week in Septem-
her the following varieties of alfalfa, viz !:
Two acres with seed from Argentina.
Two acres with seed from Turkestan.
Two acres with seed from Northern
Montana.
Two acres with seed from France.
Two acres with seed from Germany.
Two acres with seed from Wisconsin.
Four acres with seed from Southern
Montana.
One acre with seed from irrigated soil
in Arabia.
One acre with seed from non IRRIGATED
soil in Arabia.
The field selected to make the test had
been in alfalfa for eight years. 1t had
been originally seeded with seed grown
near Phoenix, Arizona, which furnished
the bacteria needed for the incubation of
the soil for these tests.
The field was plowed in the latter part
of July, after two crops of alfalfa had al
ready been harvested. 1t was selected
because, after eight years, the alfalfa had
become coarser and had disappeared in
many places.
The Darwinian theory of the "survival
of the fittest'' is always in evidence in old
alfalfa fields, for, although it would seem
to the casual observer that the plants have
all an equal chance in the race for life and
development, some, either from stronger
seed or root environment, push ahead and
crowd out and kill many weaker plants,
with the result that the vacant space is
quickly occupied by white clover and blue
grass, the great enemies of alfalfa.
Both the white clover and the bluegrass
are surface feeders and delight to make a
home in field of leguminous plants. For
this reason Mr.. Councilman strongly ad
vises farmers to clean well alfalfa seed be-
fore seeding 1t.
After blowing the field was rolled with
heavy roller, narrowed both ways and
again narrowed after every rain in August
to destroy all weed seeds in the ground.
Three hundred pounds of a 2-9-4 ferti-
lizer was drilled in and the ground again
rolled just prior to seeding. Thirty pounds
of alfalfa seed were used on each acre. 1t
was covered by light smoothing harrow.
A good start was made last autumn, the
season being a favorable one for plant
growth, and the plots looked we'll at the
beginning of winter.
The Department Of Agriculturein Wash
ington is taking much interest in this test
and had the various plots marked by a neat
signboard, so that persons passing along
the road next to the field can see the re-
suit, which cannot be fully and intelli-
gently determined for two or three years.

Slapped Their Necks.

Henry Collins, who married Miss Burd
Thaw, has been expelled from the Pitts
burg Club, to which the wealthiest and
most fashionable men in the city belong.
The club gave dance few nights
ago. An invitation to one of these very
exclusive affairs established any one as
''the real thing as they say in Ale
gheny. Mr.. Collins was there and en-
joyed himself extremely. He reappeared
on the dancing floor after a prolonged alb
sence, during which he had been remark
ing frequently:
"Bring me another of the same
Never were women more beautiful it
seemed to him then. Approaching a
young woman, he slapped her shapely
shoulder and not too gently. Angry,
ashamed, she shrank from him. In. the
same way he showed his intense admira
ton for two or three other women and, of
course, Infatuated them. But they were
not half as angry as the husband of one
and the brother of another when they
learned of Mr.. Collins love slaps. The
men told Collins that they would break
every bone in his body if he did not leave
the club house. So he went away from
there. The governors Immediately sus-
pended him from the club temporarily and
at later meeting demanded his resigna-
ton.
Collins is brother-in-law of young
William Thaw, who went such a pace in
New York recently that his mother applied
to the courts to declare him habitual
drunkard. "Henry, the Slapper," as he
is being called, had little money when he
married Miss Thaw, grandchild Of famous
old William Thaw, and since his marriage
has been wasting much time in spending
the money which his wife has as her share
of rho Thaw fortune

Stalled in Snow Drift for SO Hours.

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. "a story of a
passenger train stalled for thirty hit
hours in a Montana snowdrift with the
food supply exhausted and with heat in
only one car, was told by A. V. Swan
berg, who was passenger on the Great
Northern's Oriental Limited. Mr.. Swan
berg said
"We were stranded first at Midvale for
about fourteen hours, and then about
mile west of Clifford, Mont, for twenty
four hours. The blizzard was at its
height, blowing the snow against our train
until every coach was banked in nearly to
the top.
cit was probably 40 below zero, and
there we were, unable to move a shovel.
Water in the engine gave out and the fires
had to be dragged. After two brakemen
had frozen their faces trying to save us we
finally got through the drift all right and
reached Clifford"
