The cause of the accident which
resulted in the death of Finley Will
son, who was found a few weeks ago
lying unconscious near the railroad
tracks between Oakley and Page and
died the next day. remains unsolved.
1t seems probable that it will be never
known whether Wilson fell from the
train, or whether he met with foul
play and was pushed off. The
authorities at Oakley have not been
able to get clue to any possible muir
ders. The Wards at Page are grad
ually losing hope that the question
will ever be settled.
This is according to a letter from
Mrs. May Wilson of Page. the widow
ceived yesterday by Mrs. Wilson s
aunt. Mrs. Frank Scudders. of S26
Van Buren street. Mrs. Wilson also
stated in regard to enquiries of many
North Topeka people as to why an in
quest was not held when the injured
man was found, that an inquest is
not held unless a man is found dead,
and she further says that it was
thought best to give medical aid to
her husband at once without taking
time to investigate the cause of his
condition.
Mrs. Wilson will stay at Page in
definitely. She will conduct her late
husbands business with the assistance
of the Wards.

The paper mentioned containing
the above ad was received recently by
Nat Taylor of the Kaw Milling com
pany. formerly of MiIlerton, Okla.
In speaking about the ad Mr.. Taylor
said:
'.This is the chance of a life time
for the girls of North Topeka, and
they had better reply at once. 1 have
lived in that section of the country
and can vouch for the serious in
tentions of the advertiser. 1t is very
probable, from what 1 know of the
to his future wife. He might help get
a job taking in washing or picking
cotton and allow her to have part OF
the money she earned in that way. I
do not think he would beat her except
when he was drunk"
1t will be noted that Goggles be- |
lieves in advertising. Another thing. |
he only asks for a good woman and

with him. However, it seems that he

$50 cent stamp be enclosed in the first |
letter. stating specifically the de- |
nomination of the stamp and leaving |
nothing indefinite.
In speaking of the ella monster |
which was recently the subject of |
controversy between the legislature
and X L. authorities. as to who
should feed the dainty pet, J. ]. King |
said today that he once saw and !
killed animals that resembled the |
"Gilaite" when he lived in Gray |
county. Kansas. about twenty years
age
81 do not know whether the ami |
mails 1 saw were exactly the same as |
the ella monsters, but they resembled |
them. 1 was out near my farm in |
Gray county working. The land was
barren, with just rocks and few |
bushes. All of sudden 1 saw
crouche6 between two rocks. two |
black lizard like things with yellow |
dots along their backs. They were |
about a foot and a half long. They |
were repuIsive looking 'va-mints,' but
I went after them with a big stick |
not the kind of a big stick that
Roosevelt used on the trusts, but just
one that happened to be lying around. |
I hit them over the head until I
