BURIED ON THE HOMESTEAD
Story Of the Hardships in Early
DAYS in Dickinson.

A junction City hrm has just COM
pleted monument Of blue marble to
mark the grave Of Sophronia E. Free
man, wife ofG. W. freeman. Mrs.
Freeman was the first white woman
buried in Dickinson county. She was
born in 1929 and died in 1856.
There is very interesting story in
connection Herewith which is not
generally known.
Mr.. and Mrs. Freeman came to Kan
sas in 1856 and settled in Dickinson
county near sutphen's Mill. The
winter was hard one and Mrs. Free
man died the following spring, pos
sibly on account Of exposure to the
rigorous climate. There was no
cemetery in the whole Of Dickinson
county at this time, SO she was buried
in a corner of the farm. After her
death the family became separated
and the farm passed out Of their pos
session into the hands Of strangers.
One of the sons, A. ]. Freeman,
who at that time was but q small boy,
remained in that section Of the coun-
try working for various farmers, al
ways saving his money. He had but
one object in view and that was to
buy back the farm on which his
mother was buried. As he became
older his gradually prospered in spite
of the grasshoppers. drouths and hot
winds incident to the settlement OF
the country, and finally as a climax
to his ambitions he at a date nearly
fifty years alter the death Of his
mother, succeeded in buying back the
old place.
He laid off the corner Of the farm
in which his mother was buried as q
cemetery and decided 1t to the Chris
tian church Of that neighborhood,
reserving for himself the lot on which
bis mother was buried. Then he
went to junction City and put in his
order for one Of the finest monuments
ever made in this section Of the coun-
try. This was completed a short
time ago and now marks the grave OF
his mother.
Along with the realization Of the
sons ambition came other successes.
From a poor boy, burdened down with
all manner Of hardships, he has come
to be one Of the most prosperous and
highly respected farmers in this part
Of the state. He says his prosperity
is directly due to an habitual fru-
gality. 1t can also be said that this
was the direct outcome OF
filial devotion.

Beautify the SchoOlgrOunds.

State Superintendent Fairchild ha
done fine thing in issuing a specia
bulletin devoted to planting trees OF
schoolgrounds. Many Of the school
grounds Of Dickinson county are
disgrace to the districts, SO bare ant
forsaken are they. Mr.. Fairchild say
in bis preface:
"Arbor Day is the embodiment OF
beautiful principle. 1t is an express
sion Of our love Of nature, and its OBJ
servance means that we shall be
little better thereafter. We have long
preached, and to q considerable ex'
tent practiced, the doctrine Of home
like and attractive interiors for our
schoolrooms. Is it not time that a
special effort be made to beautify our
school grounds and surroundings The
barren and forbidding appearance Of
thousands of schoolgrOunds in this
state is at war with the whole spirit
Of modern education.
"What better time to begin q sys-
tematic and statewide movement for
handsome and more attractive school,
grounds than Arbor DayP The plant
ing Of trees, Of shrubbery, Of flowers
there is SO much to be said Mn its
favor! The argument lies not alone
in the economic value Of trees, but in
the awakening and training that
comes to the child in the Identifying
of the grounds; pupils in their little
republic learn something Of civic
duty; OF their mutual relations to the
district, the county and the state. 1t
is also an appeal to the esthetic-the
strongest possible ally in the estab-
fishing Of morality-high standards.
"a beautiful school yard in country
or town means improved home yards.
and such conditions always mean an
improved school spirit in the COM
munity. The real observance Of
ArbOr Day. the planting Of trees, will
arouse in the children 3 desire 70
know more about trees and plants.
aud will End its future expression in
the homes that they are to build.
"Let every teacher and every pupil
Join this year in an effort to plant
trees on every SchOOIgrOund in Kan
sas."

KILLED ON A TRAIN
EXPRESS MESSENGER BAILEY
FOUND DEAD IN HIS CAR
AT NEWTON, KAN.
BOTH SAFES were ROBBED
Keys Taken from Dead Mans Pockets
and Valuables Secured at Leisure
The Theories Advanced
Reward Of $1,000.

Newton, Kan, Mar. 800. A. Bailey
an express messenger of the Wells
Fargo company, was killed by an un'
known person on Santa Fe train No
liz between Florence and Newton
early Sunday morning. The murder
was very brutal one with>robbery as
the object. Both safes, the local and
the. through safes, were ransacked and
at least $1,000 in money and some
| jewelry taken. Whether this is the
full amount the robbers secured is not
known.
The dead body of Messenger Bailey
was found at four o'clock Sunday
morning when the train reached New
ton. 1t was stretched on the floor of
the car, the head beaten to pulp and
lying in a pool of blood. There was
no evidence Of any struggle, the indi-
cations pointing to the committing Of
the murder while the messenger was
asleep. before he could offer resist
ance. Bailey was last seen alive at
Strong City. At Peabody some one
opened the car door just enough to
throw out a package Of waybills and
then closed 1t quickly.
The custom of the messenger has
been to go to sleep soon after leav.
ing Florence and 1t is probable that he
did this Sunday morning. After be-
ing struck while sleeping and rem
dered unconscious, his body rolled to
the floor and the robber, after beating
his head brutally, covered it with the
dead mans coat.
From the dead mans pockets keys
were removed and the safes ransacked.-
Then the keys were put back into
Bailey's overcoat, the coat folded and
put In his grip where 1t was found
later.
Two theories are held by the officers.
One is that the robbers entered the
car unobserved at Emporia, Strong
City or some other point along the line
and consealed themselves till favor.
able opportunity to commit the rob
berry occurred and the other is that
Bailey admitted somebody he knew
and considered a friend. When the
train slowed down at the Missouri Pa
cifc crossing in the east part Of New
ton, two men were seen by the en-
gineer to jump from the train and
run south. The south door Of the ex.
press car was found open when the
train reached Newton depot. It 10 be-
Heved these men were the robbers and
that they made a detour around the
business part Of town to the west
yards Of the Santa Fe. where they
may have boarded Santa Fe train
No. IL, which left the depot 20 min
ties after lis arrived. Three suspi |
cious characters were taken OF the
blind baggage Of this train when II
reached Wichita and are being held
for Investigation. The officers were
notified as soon a. the murder and rob
cry were discovered and within an
hour posses we're securing the coun-
tn. A reward Of $1,000 has been
ordered By the Wells-Fargo Express
company for the apprehension Of the
guilty parties. Up TO Sunday evening

Prof. Sturgis, Who Has Been
Ill for Several Days, to
Sing Again.

The revival at the Ninth st. Chris
tian church will continue until and
including Friday night. Services
will be held at the hours indicated
above.
Sixty persons have presented them
selves for membership in the Ninth
Street Christian church, the most of
them having made their first public
confession of faith in Christ. Great
audiences have heard the evangelists
twice daily during the week just
past. Sundays audiences were as
large as were ever assembled in
meetings of a single church here.
Three times the large auditorium
was filled-the last time not fewer
than three hundred persons being
turned away for lack of room.
Prof. Sturgis, who has been i'll for
several days, is sufficiently recover
ed to sing again as well as to direct
the large chorus. On Saturday night
he was wholly disabled. Miss Ellen
Young took his place with grace and
skill.
Mr.. Sellers seems to our people to
have grown since last year. He was
vigorous, vital and splendidly effec-
tive in his work then. He seems to
his hearers more so now. He is
preaching such sermons as are not
often heard in evangelistic meetings
sermons at once thoughtful, Dig
nifed, practical and popular. He is
a great preacher.

NEGRO TWICE ARRAIGNED
Once Acquitted and Once Cor

A few days ago complaint was made
to Policemen Hall and Wright by a
negro in Grenada that his domestic
felicity was being disturbed by an
other negro named William Derrick
that operated is iiaSman on the Iii
nOiS Central railroad. Upon Derrick )
return to Grenada policeman Wright
accoSted him at the depot and tod
him that he was charged with carry
ing a pistol and 50 on and upon Mr.
Wright attempt to search the negro
he resisted and struck at the officer and
then ran. I'm the meantime police
man Hall had arrived on the scene and
by clever search by the two officers
they Suon had Derrick where his hands
went straight up III the air. The next
day he was arraigned before his honor
mayor DOty. Derrick'S aStute C"un-
SCI, Mr.. A &. ROane. was unwilling to
risk his client fate with the mayor
and hence called for & Jury which was

Hall and Wright, thought here had

made, II caused to be made. an ati-
davlt against Derrick before Squire
Robert Crawford. 1t is a fact not
generally known that every viOlatOr
