Twenty-six Artillerymen Charged With
an Atrocious Crime.

Denver. Aug. ga News special
from Laramie, Wyo., says that while
every effort has been made by the au-
thorities at Camp Emmett Crawford
the military maneuver grounds, to
keep the fact a secret, it is known that
one of the most atrocious crimes i'm
aginable was committed last Sunday
by members of an artillery battery
who assaulted young woman. leaving
her bruised and unconscious upon the
ground.
According to the story, a noncom-
missioned officer of the Twenty-f1rst
regiment was escorting the young
woman when they were attacked by
32 men of the artillery battery The
officer was beaten into insensibility
with gun and the young woman was
dragged to an isolated spot and as
saulted. After lying half dead for
hours, the victim of the outrage re-
vived and succeeded in crawling to a
house some distance away and told her
story.
Twenty-six men, alleged to have
been implicated in the outrage are
under arrest and are chained together
in the camp prison. They are under
constant guard to prevent Iynching,
as sentiment in the camn is strong
against them. Six of the assaiIants
escaped, but three of them were ap-
pretended at Rawlins The other
three are still at large.

AT The NOVELTY.
Good Bill for the Week at Popular
House.

Manager S. r. Wells of the Novelty
theater has spared neither pains nor
money to get a good bill for this popu-
lar amusement theater for the coming
week. and how well he has succeeded
can be seen from the list of attrac-
lions for next week. Next weeks
bill bids fair to eclipse the opening bill
of this week, which has been a strong
drawing card. The opening week at
the Novelty was well patronized, and
the attendance was beyond the ex-
pectations of the management, al
thought the vaudeville season is young
yet High. class vaudeville has lost
none of it's popularity in Topeka, and
Mr.. Wells promises that the best OBJ
tainable will be on the Novelty bills
all season.
The opening act for next weeks per-
Torrance which begins with the Mon
day afternoon matinee, will be the
Three Walton Brothers Theirs is a
singing skit entitled I'm Camp" and
it is good one too, the singing
depicting in a fitting manner the lead
ing features of camp life. The Two
Blacks, who are known far and wide
by their banjo playing. will give the
Novelty's patrons some of the best
playing that can be produced from
these Instruments Many plantation
songs are in their repertoire. The
Barretts have a humorous sketch, en-
titled Who's Who" which is bound
to win many rounds of applause.
Martinez Brothers will close the list
of attractions with a European must
cal novelty. This act is one of the
leading musical acts which tours the
Sullivan-C onsidine big circuit and is
whole show in itself.
Manager Wells will present a new
song illustrator this week in the per-
son of Jake Goergen. Mr.. Goergen as
sisted in the chorus singing at the
Novelty last season and made a hit.
He is no novice at this line of work
however, as he did a similar stunt in
Leavenworth three years ago.
A series of moving pictures will be
shown which are entirely new in To-
peka. This theater will give three
shows each day during the season.

management in maintaining two even

ment resigned themselves to listen at
tentively to the literary gems, and
learned historical references and the
classic period of the Kansas orator.
Mr.. Atwood said that, inasmuch as
the audience had paid admission it
was not becoming to initiate against
the opinion of any part of his hearers.
THE mighty achievements of his
tory were performed by men who new
er doubted their own capacity" We're
the words that opened a, scholarly
lecture.
One by one Alexander, Cicero, Gaze
sar. Raphael. Milton and Napoleon
were called forth from the shades to
witness that first of all a great man
must recognize and believe in his own
capacity.
Coming down to later times the lee
turer referred feelingly to Abraham
Lincoln, who, he said, was erroneous
ly supposed to have a very humble
opinion of himself.
Not So" said Mr. Atwood. I'm
1858 Lincoln announced that If he did
not defeat Douglas for senator he
would defeat Hill for president. This
declaration marks Lincoln as man
who had unlimited faith in his own
destiny
With the adroitness of a lawyer Mr.
Atwood prepared for a compliment to
Bryan by referring to the courage of
lieutenant colonel who had the con-
fidence to go up San Juan hill and
then launched into an intimitable de-
scription of the Democratic conven-
ton of 1896 where a young man had
the self reliance to answer the argu-
ments of a great senator from New
York and in the heart of an hour con-
quered a nomination for the presi-
dency
II will not name him." said Atwood.
"It is against the rules but the voice
was drowned by the cheering of the
audience.
After Mr.. Atwood's address here he
left at once to resume his duties in
Chicago.

REGARDING THE BUMP.
Mir. Hublnger Writes That He Was
 Not nt Fault.

Tho Journal-Courier, New Haven,
 Conn:
 Dear Sirs In your paper of this morning you publish an item in refer ence to automobile No. 5,394 running down man with push cart. As the facts in the case are not as published I desire 10 give you the details In or der that correction may be made.
 As has been my custom for the past two years, l was coming down to my office in my Maxwell runabout (not touring car) through Cedar street. l know the locality very well, and as the street Is usually crowded with peddlers' wagons, etc, run my car very slowly and carefully; my car was not running five miles an hour. The man pushing the rag cart I was as near the right curb as 1t was possible for mo to go. The pusher of the cart started to turn to the right, and when about opposite to my car, either got excited or frightened and turned directly into my car. In fact, Instead of my running him down he ran into me, and the force of his push cart striking the automobile knocked him down, in addition to damaging the automobile not little.
 immediately stopped, and made inquiries as 10 whether the man was hurt. The man did not appear to be injured aside from the bruises that would naturally come from the fall caused by his cart knocking him down.
 write you these particulars in jus tice to myself and other automobile owners, as 1t usually appears that the automobile does the running down." when, as in the case here cited, 1t sometimes happens that the automo- piles are the ones run down real ize that you, of course, had only one side of the story, and l am sure your esteemed paper does not wish to give any wrong impressions when giving news items to the public. trust you will accept this In the kindly spirit which 1t Is written. Yours very truly,

PINK DOMINOES.
A Fine Production at Polrs Thcatcr
 This Week

Mir Butterfield spoke truly when In making announcement of the comedy, Pink Domnoes," this weeks produc- tion of the Poli Stock company, he said that 1t was infinitely superior to Browns in Town It Is. It Is of high order, indeed, and will surely ap- peal to all lovers of the drama. Un- like most plays, it might be said to have no individual star, or stars; all whose names appear in the dramatic personae have chance to shine, and without exception, they do.
 The plot of the play Is an old one yet, wlthal, told In new and interest," ing manner. The folbles of the gentle men of the exclusive sets in Metropoli- tan society are surely shown up fin a number of near serious, yet humorous escapades.
