BAD MEN" OF SOUTHWEST.

One Was Easily Startled and Blood
Made Frank James Faint.
The world is not very small after all.
The other day | glanced casually over
the register of a hotel and read the
name "Klnch West Johnson" 1t may
be that | was the only man in New
York outside the person who signed the
register that would have taken an in
terest in the signature, and yet Kinch
West was on the point of putting my
light out once, says writer in the
New York Telegraph. He was an In
dian Territory character in the early
'IOs and stopped a night with me when
| was Il boy and living under the paren-
tai roof, and he Interested me greatly
by telling me of his adventures in the
Southwest
Five years later I was riding on a
railway train approaching DennisOn,
Tex, and | saw him. Being young and
foolish, hit him on the back and said:
Hello, Mr.. West! I'm glad to see
you" Say, Kinch's smoke wagons were
all over me in minute. Until he rec
Ognized me he scowled, and after that
he laughed heartily. At DennisOn he
wrung my hand and said: "GoOd-by,
boy, and don't say anything about my
being here"
Naturally, l hunted up Kinch West
Johnson, and what do you suppose he
was? A drummer. A mild-mannered
boy, who was glad to acknowledge that
the redoubtable Kinch West was his
grandfather. And he confessed to me
that he had never owned gun in his
life.
One story of this kind leads to anoth-
er. | recalled Frank James almost as
soon as | had listened to young john
sons story of how little use he had for
gun. About fourteen years ago
| happened to be present ut the fair
grounds in st. Louis when Frank
/ James, along with number of others,
was vaccinated in obedience to the law.
Frank tainted as soon as the knife went
into his flesh.
Il ought not to have looked" he eX-
planned to me. II never could bear the
sight Of blood"

Chestnuts and Prunes.

Do many housewives realize what a
delicious sweet results when Spanish
chestnuts are added to the homely
breakfast dish of stewed prunes? This
is a foreign cOnfection worthy the at
tention Of Yankee cooks. We use it as
a dessert when other ideas fail, rather
than matutinally. as prunes are served.
Wash and soak prunes over night as
usual. Boil chestnuts twenty minutes
after cutting a slit in each shell. Peel,
removing shell and the disagreeable in
ner skin. Then stew with the prunes.
Serve cold, or at least cool, with plain
cake.

of Smith College. was shot and fatally
wounded on the college campus yes.
terday morning by Porter Smith, OF
Chicago, a graduate Of Dartmouth last
year, who then shot himself and died
instantly. The bodies lay within four
feet of each other when found.
Smith and Miss Marden became en-.
gagged last year, but at Christmas time
the engagement was broken off blythe
young woman, whose action appears
to have been a severe blow to Smith.
who made several attempts to renew
the engagement and came again to
this city two or three days ago for
this purpose.
Yesterday morning he called on her
as she was starting from her home for
! chapel and proposed that they again
talk the matter over. The two walk
ed about the lower campus. compara-
lively deserted at the time, engaged
in earnest conversation. Smith is
supposed to have made one final, des-
perate plea, and being repulsed, drew
a revolver and fred three shots into
his companion and then turned the
weapon on himself with fatal effect.
He shot Miss Marden first in the tenn
pie and twice in the back. The col
lege gardener, Canning, heard the
first shot. He saw the couple standing
together and heard the girl scream at.
ter the first two shots, but at the third
shot she fell and did not scream.
Smith at once put the revolver to his
temple and fred one shot. which caus.
ed almost instant death.
The girl had a sister. Miss Louise

also had a sister, Miss Emily Smith,
In the junior class, and the sisters liv.
ed in the same house on the campus.
Smith had been in town two days
registering at the Draper Hotel on
Tuesday night. He appeared cheerful.
Yesterday morning he sat in the
Office. reading the papers and chatted
with the hotel employees, ~impressing
them as one thoroughly in his right
mind and in such a manner that Il
could hardly be believed that he taer
had the deed planned, which mus
have been the case. He left the hote:
about s o'clock, evidently going to the
college at once.

ported the matter to me and told them
to make their report to the coroner

so. That derehction might have caused

she had the utmost confidence. MIS-
Dora A. Heath was family friend ana

Soiomons dismissed as ridiculous the
story that Mrs. de la Montanya had
taken a spiritualists word seriously
or had said to a medium that she would
take her life that evening.
Mrs Patton said that Mrs. de la Mon

on Friday to have consulted the me-
dunn, or that she would have uttered
the melodramatic words ascribed to her
