MORTON SEEKS HELP.
Wants Gov. Stubbs to Assist in Re-
clamation Project.

H. w. Worthington of Morton coun-
ty called on Gov. Stubbs today to ask
his excellency to aid the Norton coun-
ty people in their efforts to get the
government to make q move in the
reclamation project as applied to the
arid lands in the southwestern part
of the state. Mr. Worthington is on
his way to Washington with a petit
tion to the government officials in
which is set forth the plea for the ad-
vancement of this irrigation idea.
Gov. Stubbs not only signed the petit
ton, but agreed to write personal let
ters to Washington friends in an eff
fort to start an investigation of the
Morton county project.
The Morton county people want to
irrigate their lands from the main
stream of the Cimarron river. Stew
ems Seward and Meade counties
would also be benefited if this plan
is carried out. Oklahoma people to
the south of these counties have
started an irrigation project and the
people of Liberal have also organized
to promote such plan.

w. H. Lyalle, motorman of the car.
The foreman had discovered missed
shot in the excavation at noon and be-
fore the motor car came in sight he had
relghted the fuse. AS the car approach
ed he signalled the motorman and
warned him of the impending explo-
sion.
Motorman L. Lyalle, evidently believ-
ing he could take his car past the
charge to safety before the explosion,
paid no heed to the warning and
started again at full speed.
Just as the car was passing the
charge the explosion car1e and the car
with its load of human freight was
blown high in the air amid great
cloud of debris.

DIR. HYDE SUES AGAIN.
The Amount Claimed Is Now Back to
100000.

Kansas City, Mo-, Feb. IA suit de-
manding one hundred thousand dol
lars for alleged libel was filed today
by the attorneys of DIR. B. C. Hyde
against John c.. Paxton. executor of
the estate of Colonel Thomas H. Swope.
The charge of libel is based upon a
letter written by Mr.. Paxton to Stew
art r. Fleming of Columbia, Tenn,
also an executor of the Swope estate,
and read last Thursday by Mr.. Paxton
in his deposition given in another suit
brought by DR.. Hyde demanding $780,
600 from Mr.. Paxton and other de-
PENDANTS for alleged libel.
DIR. Hyde has filed three suits for
damages as result of the Swope mys-
terry. The first suit, which demanded
500, 900 from Mr.. Paxton for alleged
slander, was dismissed by the court
when Mr.. Hyde's attorneys applied for
an order of dismissal to prevent Mr..
Paxtons attorneys from taking the
dispositions of important witnesses in
the case.

search for his daughter when the
press dispatches of Friday announced
the finding o. the skeleton which ne
believes is all that remains of the
young woman. The description fur
nished is neager but fits Miss Caven-
der very well according to her father.
The face of the woman found muir
dered had evidently been crushed with
20 pound rock in order to avoid
identification. The teeth may furnish
some means of Identification, as Mr..
Cavender said his daughter had only
one filled tooth.
The money Hiss Cavender had when
she left, and Tor which she is believed
by her father to have been murdered,
she secured when she sold small
house in st. Joseph. She formerly
taught school in Nebraska.
Mr.. Caven5er is feeble old man.
He is heartbroken over what he be-
Iieves is certain evidence of his daugh-
ter's death. And unless some way OF
identifying the remains is found he
says he will always be uncertain as he
is not sure that his daughter would
notify him in case she is not the MUIR
derers victim. He will probably go
to San Francisco.
Finding of the Body.
The following account of the finding
of the body is given by the San Fran
cisco Examiner:

r. B. Mitchell, an employe of an un-
dertaking company told of preparing
the body for burial. His testimony
touched upon the assertions previously
made that the eInbalming fluid might
have contained a poison.
Mitchell said he had been called to
the Swope home and conducted imme-
diately to the room where the body lay.
What shape did you find the body
imp asked Attorney Trogden.
Il saw nothing strange about it, re-
piled Mitchell Were the muscles con-
tracted or anything of that kind?"
Nothing that I noticed particularly.
1 wasn't looking for anything of that
kind
Mitchell said the nurse and Judson
Mann, an assistant were the only per-
sons present. He had. he said, en-
balmed the body at once in the room
where he had found it. 1t took an hour
and a half to do the work.
Did you notice anything unusual?''
asked the attorney.
II could not say that did" repeat
ed Mitchell, because was not expect
ing anything.
Disinter1nent and Autopsy.
Mitchell told of the funeral and of
dposited in a vault at Forest Hill GEM
etery. The.4 he told of having gone
to the vault nearly three months later
on January II. with an assistant, and
of removing the casket and returning
it to Independence for the autopsy or
dered by some of the Swope heirs.
Did you notice anything peculiar
about the casket at that time ?" asked
Attorney Trogden.
mo, sir
Had it been opened since you last
closed it?'' -
Yes It was supposed to have beer
opened in the city to take cast of the
hand afterward. I wasn't present. The
casket was not sealed UP as tight as il
might have been afterward because the

"a little patch of shrubbery in a
wind blown unfrequented spot on the
side of Tamalpais yesterday yielded a
glimpse of grim tragedy to the aston
ished gaze of Alfred Eckstein and Will
helm Kuske, two pedestrians formerly
employed at the Odeon cafe, who had
wandered from the trail in their de-
scent of the mountain.
Crawling about the mountain side
until they were lost, the men finally
climbed a knoll to get better view,
and there stumbled upon the bleached
skeleton of woman, with particles
of clothing strewn about and several
articles of jewelry claSped upon the
wrists or lying beside the bones.
Beside the skeleton, which was that
of a rather large, light haired woman,
lay a straw hat and gold filled watch
and chain. These, with a bracelet hav-
ing an imitation amethyst stone. Eek
stein took from the place and gave to
the police in this city last night. AS
yet no Identification has been made.
Whether the body. which had ap-
parently been exposed for some
months at least. was placed in that
out of the way spot to conceal a
crime, or whether the woman sought
out that isolated place in which to
commit suicide are conjectureS. When
the bones were found, the right hand
covered the face, while the left was
placed behind the head. The clothes,
of which the remnants still remained,
appeared to be of blue silk, while the
shoes were heavy, such as would be
worn in mountain climbing. The
watch was a Seth Thomas. and the
bracelet which was clasped about the
right wrist was of gold.
"Eckstein said last night that he be-
lieved he could find the skeleton again
without difficulty, though it is a con-
siderable distance off the beaten trail.''

.G0TCH QUITS THE
MAT GAME
Humboldt Farmer An
nounces His Retirement
For All Time.

Chicago, June 3.-Frank Gotch
says he will now retire to his farm
in Iowa. In a statement after his
defeat of Zbyszko he said: Il won
and now / am through with the
wrestling game. 1 am 33 years old
and it will be the simple life for
me in the future. A good many
wrestlers have waited too long and
have been beaten. l am going to
try to avoid that.
81 will leave for the Coast and
see if 1 can help Jeffries out, and
there will be long rest then for
me-"
Last year when Frank Gotch was
in Spokane the question was put to
him by the sporting editor of the
Chronicle as to who, in the estima-
ton of the champion, was the best
wrestler in the world, barring him
self.
Gotch replied that Zbyszko had it
on every other mat artist that Gotch
had seen or knew of. Gotch claimed
that the Pole was superior to Hack
enschmidt or any other man who
aspired to be the champion.
At that rate, Gotch can retire with
the satisfaction of knowing that he
has defeated them all and leaves no
worlds to conquer when he retires
from the game.

WORK FROM 700 TO 900
A Large Force Will Be Employed All

worth and SkykOmish.

Grant Smith & Co., one of the big
contracting firms of the state, last
week received four new engines and
lot of dump cars, rails and other

such a manner that the danger from
snowslides will be obviated next win
ter Where it is not possible to do
this concrete snowsheds will be built
in the most dangerous places and
wooden ones where the danger is not
great. Several miles of additional
passing track are to be built. Alto
gether, vast amount of work is
planned which will cost over $780,
900.
DR.. Hoxsey has arranged with the
construction company to take care of
it's men.
In addition to the men employed
by Contractor Smith, Mr. Dalquist
has had large force of men at work
