Among the numerous applicants to
Representative Bartholdt for job was
a young st. Louisan, who was not dis.
couraged by the statement that gov.
eminent jobs do not go by favor any
more, but by the appointment of the
civil service commission. He took the
examination some time ago and recent
ly was notified by the forestry de-
partment to report for duty. He felt
somehow under obligations to Con
gresham Bartholdt and called upon
him to give the glad tidings Of his job
and to thank the representative. Mr..
Bartholdt disclaimed having done any
thing in the affair, but said that he
congratulated the young man.

Mr.. Bartholdt. "The forestry depart

Of this letter one of Arnold's poems,
entitled "'Man to Man." was placed in
the hands of Gov Hoch by the con

Arnold had taught school one term
when he started on the trip to Okla
homa which ended with the tragedy
at Kinsley, but his education was
meager. When he first went to Ian
sing as convict he was employed in
the penitentiary coal mine. From the
outset he was good prisoner. Good
behavior won him place in the pris-
on tailor shop. It was then his study
and development began.

and taste for literature, the chaplain

Arnold into his first trouble with the
prison authorities, and finally caused
his removal from the library back to

finally fastened on Arnold. They

'Why, that man should be free and
attached to the editorial staff of some
magazine" remarked Gov. Hoch, in
commenting on the case after he had
familiarized himself with Arnold's ac-
complishments.
The governor began a thorough in
vestigation of the case: He found that
the citizens Of Kinsley were still bit
terly opposed to the release of Arnold
and Harvey. This opposition was not
unnatural, either, when the crime of
which the two young men were guilty
is considered.
They had been together in Okla
homa, then but recently opened to set
Element, and were returning to the
homes of their parents in one of the
Western Kansas counties adjoining
Edwards, of which Kinsley is the seat.
When they reached Kinsley, where
they camped for the night, both were
out of money. They held up Mayor
Marsh, with the intention of robbing
him. Marsh resisted and was killed.
Whether Arnold or Harvey killed the
mayor never has been definitely. estab-
lished.
The two young men were captured
the next morning and narrowly es-
capped being lynched. They would
have been lynched had it not been for
the assurance of Samuel w. Vandi-
vert, then district Judge of Kinsley,
but now a practicng attorney in New
York. Judge Vandiyert made speedy
arrangements for the trial of Arnold
and Harvey, sentenced them to death

result purely Of a josh, of which
Marshal Buchanan was the victim.
Taking the matter seriously, however,
he went to the council chamber to
take his place ION the carpet" where
the josh represented, he would be ar
raigned by the city legislature for
some fancied offense.
Pulling his official revolver from
his official belt, as he reached me
inner sanctum, he yelled to the coun-
Gil:
snow, do your d-st!" Bang
bang went the gun reports and out
went the lights about the ears Of the
affrighted officials, never missing a
shot. Meantime the mayor and his
official party scurried under the ia
bles and waited in the darkness until
the bad man from Howling Holler
had left the hall.
On the following day the marshal
filed his resignation. 1t was accepted
by the council without discussion.
A charge was filed against the pep
perry ex-marshal for his violent d.
version and the case came up for
hearing a few days ago.
The old charge against Buchanan
was dismissed, it appears, and a new
charge filed against him. This time
it was misdemeanor for the marshal
to behave that way. Attorney Hat
field took advantage of the new turn
in the case, withdrew defendants for
mer plea and moved that the case be
dismissed. Under the law governing
the substitution of one charge for
another, the latter being as serious as
misdemeanor, the court could dc
nothing else. Hence, the ex-marshal
escaped most luckily.
