In view Of the lonS series os assassiueetions OF
European rulers. eliminating in the tragedy
at Lisbon, one might expect royalty TO take an
sorts Of precautions against sudden death The
life Of the Car Of Russia. who is reputed to
change bedrooms nightly and to eat his meals in
apartments chosen at the moment. who is en-
compassed with legion o. spies and a regf-
ment of devoted soldiers, would seem TO be a
proper model for all those engaged in the haz-
ardous trade of kingship. 1t is no doubt uncorn-
Portable and trying on the nerves to suspect
everybody and everything, to look under the
bed at night and to fear that a courtier drawing
a handkerchief may be reaching for an auto
matte pistol; but such are presumably the draw
backs Of holding most royal jobs to-day.
However, some monarchs take as few precau-
tions as presidents Of republics, and sometimes
ningle with their subjects in public places ab-
solutely unescorted- The killing of Carlos has
checked only momeutari!y the free and easy
habits of such OF his fellow rulers. Alfonso OF
Spain, for instance, may not be going out Ia
the crowd every day just now, but he will not
long endure the prudent advice of his coun-
cilIOrs.
There may be, in fact, deal of solid sense
on the risk taking Of kings. Their average
years Of existence might be increased il all fol-
lowed the caution of the Car. .et a few pre-
cautions would entail more, and by making
themselves hard to get at they would excite the
desire Of a portion of their subjects to overcome
obstacles and get them" a king who hides
seems to admit that he is a tyrant.
Then it may well lie argued by royalty that
their chances Of death are not much greater
than if they were miners or artisans, and that
a short life free from care is better than days
prolonged in terror. The lightning doesn't strike
twice in the same place. At least such seem to
be the arguments of Alfonso, who keeps his
friends in a state Of nerves by his habit of go
ing about unprotected.
1t is well known that King Edward OF Eng
land goes to the racetrack like any English gen.
tleman and freely pr0menades at a French bath
ing resort, while King Leopold Of the BeIgians
frequently slips away to Paris TO have a good
time IN the bouleya-ds all by himself. King
Humbert of Italy, who was assassinated never
took any great care Of his safety. but he would
not extend the risk 10 his Queen by having her
ride in the same carriage with him.
They were about TO entertain few friends,
and her husband suddenly busted himself with
the umbrellas. carrying them upstairs When he
had taken up the last one she said to him. some
what amazed:
why dear. why do you hide the umbrellas
like that? Are you afraid our friends VIII steal
them?

ASSESSORS ROUNDUP
We're Here From All Over the County
The First of the Week to Meet
With County Assessor

The deputy assessors from over the
county were In Dodge City the first of
the week to consult with The county
assessor regarding different matters
pertaining to their work. The assessors
cannot settle upon any basis of valuation,
each one being required to assess pre-
perty at just what he considers its pre-
sent cash value. About the only thing
they can do Is to get instructions re-
garding the tax law and be their own
judge In putting the law into practice.
Among those VINO were at the court
house the first of the week were: Joe
Ellis OF Bucklin, Frank Bailey and F. M.
Scarborough Of Pleasant Valley, Chas.

forces. He drew the money that was
coming to him, paid his debts about
town and lett about $35 at Sidlow &
Argabright's grocery until he was ready
to leave town. Thursday evening he
got this money and later with two other
colored men, went to the Sants Fe yards
to try to cell bis tent and bedding TO
some one. The three went into a
Mexican hut, according to Shepherds
story, to try to sell them his tent. One
wanted change for $500 bill and
Shepherd pulled his money out Of his
pocket and had 1t quickly grabbed from
bis hand. Then the Mexicans run the
colored men out. Shepherd and bis
companions discussed an attack on the
Mexicans but weakened and reported
the matter to officers. Shepherds story
has good deal to bear IT out. Money
OF the exact description be claimed to
lose was found in the possession Of the
Mexicans. One of the celored men even
described the kind of pocket book 1t
would be found In, claiming that he look
ed through the window and saw them
put the money away.

WAS WRONG SMITH.
Man Brought From Grant County BY
Officers Was An Innocent Party
And Was Released.

Auu W no AbCIChbCus
There are too many Smiths or at least
that Is the present belief Of Mr.. R. B.
Smith Of Grant county who had to make
trip to Dodge City Tuesday to con-
vince the authorities that he was the
par, cuIar Mr. smith that he claimed to
be and not another Mr.. smith that he
did not know and didn't want to know.
The right" Mr.. Smith Is wanted at
Bucklln. This individual secured loan
there on a mortgage on some cattle and
since that time neither he nor the cattle
can be found. The money Is likewise
gone. Under Sheriff Lawrence was cent
to Grant county the first of the week with
warrant to arres: a certain Mr.. Smith
and he brought the Mr. Smith back with
him. This Mr.. Smith quietly told the
officer that there were smiths in abnnd-
ance throughout the world and that he
would fiud that be was not the one that
was wanted.
When the Bucklln parties arrived here
yesterday they agreed that the wrong
Smith had been caught and be was re-
leased.

Concert Saturday Night.

The Columbia Tennesseans will appear

jubilee Singers gave varied musical
programme at the first Baptist church
last night, which highly pleased every
one present The singers were in splen.

BLOODY BATTLE.
WELL KNOWN FORD COUNTY
MAN FIGHTS ALMOST TO
THE DEATH
DISPUTE OVER COMMISSION
Results in a Desperate Fight
and One Man Probably
Will Die.

After desperate struggle 10 which he
was beaten almost to unconsciousness
with a chair swung by wrothy real
estate agent, o. p Weddle, well known
Ford county man escaped from his house,
secured double barrelled shot gun from
a shed near by, and shattered the arm OF
his adversary with one load and terribly
mutilated his face with second charge.
Mr.. Weddle, who formerly lived on
the Saw Log 10 this county, moved TO
Artesia, New Mexico about two years
ago. The trouble in which re has be-
come involved happened several days ago,
aud was lesrned Of through letter re-
ceived here this week.
Mr.. Weddle had tired Of New Mexico
and had sold his place there preparatory
to moving to Oklahoma aud it was
through the sale Of his land that the
terrible affair occurred Sullivan, the
agent who conducted The deal, claimed
that either the buyer or the seller had
lied to him about the commission. Mr..
Weddle was to give possession on March
lst, and was still at the place when
Sullivan went to collect the commission.
They quarrelled over the matter and
Sullivan picked up chair and beat
Weddle with it for some moments before
he could escape. Weddle fiually got out
OF the house and got his shot gun. Then
be faced Sullivan again and fired both
barrels one following the other almost
instantly.
Weddle will recover from the injuries
he received but at last reports received
here, Sallivan's recovery wss very doubt.
full.
Mr.. Weddle was we'll respected in Ford
county. He was honest 10 his dealings
and was good neighbor. He had q
very high temper and was not a man
who could stand ugly names or fiat
contradiction. He has many friends in
Ford and Hodgemsn counties who will
sincerely regret the terrible affair in
which he has figured In New Mexico.

BAILEY IS OUT.
LELAND AND STUBS WHO
BOTH CLAIM SQUARE TOES
ARE ALONE IN RACE
STATE CONVENTION IS OVER
The Two Kansas Senators Head
Kansas Delegation to the
National Convention

The Republican State convention held
at Topeka yesterday left the political
situation In Kansas still greater puz-
zle, as at this convention, the public
announcement was made by w. j. Bailey
that 1t would be impossible for him to
neglect his own business to make a
campaign for governor, which leaves
W. X. Stubbs and Cy Leland the only
avowed candidates for governor at this
time and In the convention at Topeka
from reports there was only about one
Stubbs man out of eight anti.Stubbs
among the delegates. There seems to
have been hurried cast about for new
candidate and Dodge City was singled
out as the home Of good candidate. 1t
Is reported that Lieutenant Governor
Fitzgerald was besieged to 70 In as a
candidate but Mr.. Fitzgerald turned
down good sized boom for governor
several months ago and did not want to
consider one at this time Others were
mentioned but no one has been settled
upon up to date.
OF course all Of the above has nothin
to do with the Topeka convention which
was held for the sole purpose Of electing
four delegates at large to the National
convention. The delegates elected were !:
Senator Chester I, Long, Senator Charles
Curtis, Grant Hornadsy and r. M. Nc
Gonigle
There may be new candidate out in
few days or the race may be made by
Stubbs and Leland. 1t Is conceded that
D. W. Mulvane will be national com.
mitteeman.
The convention, Of course, endorsed
Taft for president and In that particular
every delegate in the convention was Of
one opinion. Kansas Is certainly united
on the Taft proposition and any set of
delegates that could have been elected
with or without instructions would have
been Taft delegation.
Some of the Ford county delegates
arrived home from Topeka last night.
