There was not q man in Hutchinson
who had more friends than J. U. Brown
nor any man who did more for the city
and the people than he. In recognition of
this, public meetings have been held there
and committees appointed to raise what
they call the J. U. Brown memorial fund.
1t is intended that the fund shall be as
General As possible and no sumo iarser
than one dollar may be given by one but
amounts less than that down to five cents
may be kiven by those who knew him and
want to assist in the good work. The
subscription reads: GAN who knew the
true character Of J. u. Brown are hereby
given an opportunity to express their
appreciation by subscribing to a fund for
the erection of q memorial to perpetuate
his memory" When he lived in Greeley
county he was easily the leading citizen Of
the county and he has many old friends
here yet who will desire to contribute a
small sum in erecting this memorial at
Hutchinson. So a subscribtion has been
sent here and will be found at the Office
Of W. NJ. Glenn. Already several dollars
have been collected and we hope that a
9reet many others will sign the subscrip.

Reaps Fair Harvest
Does Bogus Pythian
TELLS "A HEART-RENDING STORY
OF BEING COMPEIILED TO
LEAVE HIS VIRGINIA HOME
HURRIIGDIY BECAUSE HE PRO-
TECHED HIS HOMES SANCTITY.

A hunchback mulatto, giving his
name as John Willie Golden, and
claiming to be the Grand Vice Chan
cellor Of Virginia with home at Rich
mond, struck the city Friday and reap
ed fair harvest before the charitably
inclined became suspicious Of his tale
of woe.
Golden, or whatever his name is,
told heartrendhlg tale of his killing
white man whom 3he alleged to have
discovered crimimaIly assaulting his
ten-year old daughter. According to
the story, Golden is a blacksmith with
good business ana much valuable
real estate, all Of which he stands to
lose by his hasty departure from Vir-
ginia where, he said, he would be
railroaded to the electric chair, if
caught.
But John Willie is a fake pure and
simple. From intelligences received
from Richmond, yesterday, it was
learned that there is absolutely no
foundation for any of his assertions
and that those who respond to his
appeals for aid are dupes.
He is very likely to "do" other
West Virginia towns and will be found
very proficient in the mysteries Of
several secret societies, notably the
Masons and Knights of Pythias.

should be the medium Of operation
Accordingly, for 20 or more years the
dividend ACQUIRING from this fund,
amounting to $4,000 or more annually
has been transmitted regularly and
by General Latrobe and his
associates. The first of these two
charges upon this fund has been
faithfully executed ;by the American
Colonization Society, at Washington,
but they have neglected to comply
with the second, SO that there has ac-
cumulated in the treasury Of the So

The management of the Colopiza-

berian government of the existence
Of this/ money and their readiness to
turn over the amount into the hands
OF the proper authorities, requested
that proper person should be desig-
mated for the purpose Of receiving the
money, giving the. society release
from further obligation. Thereupon

ton, with the concurrence of the exc

as agent with full power to receive
the money and r9 lease the society.

A number of local Catholics who
gave money to man within the past
two weeks to help defray expenses
of an alleged convention to be held
here, believe they have been swindled
and the police have been asked to
investigate. 1t has beer learned
through investigation by the police

to defraud, as no convention of any
Catholic society is to be held in this
city so far as prominent local Catho-

was rather tall and well built. He

some prominent local Catholics with
him, it Is declared, and IN soliciting
funds he exhibited the book and said
so and so from this city sent him to
the prospective donor. He secured
50 from each of number of mer-
chants along Smith street. In one
instance he secured 50 from a mer-
chant after he told the business man
that Alderman l.. c. Dalton had sent

With the book, it is stated, he car

from many local business men and
from factories authorizing him to
collect. The greater number OF

DENY FEELING

recfal to the EVENING NEWS.

Stectdl TO the EVENING NEWS.
Washington, June 10:-Denying
any feeling against the Jews and
asserting that the papers in the case
of Frank Blume had been stolen from
Fort Meyer, Colonel Joseph Garrard,
commandant of the post, today de-
Tended himself for the rapTimand
administered by President Taft be-
cause of his reports on Blume's appli-
cation to take an examination for a
commission in the United States
army.
Colonel Garrard stated that the
army regulations required 9n ex-
preston of opinion in such cases as
Blume's and that he merely express
ed belief that Biume's application
to take the examination for promo
ton should not be granted. Shortly
after endorsing the application,
Garrard said, the papers in the case
had been stolen. He said: "Presi-
dent Taft could do nothing else but
take the action he did and make a
public reprimand."
