WHAT DOES BOX CONTAIN?
Freight Depot Men Declare 1t Smells
of Human Flesh.

Leavenworth. Kan, Aug. 18.-Mys-
terry surrounds the contents of a long
wooden box which has been held in
the Missouri Pacific freight depot for
the last two weeks awaiting freight
bills to send it wherever its destination
may be. Employees of the depot are
getting ''spooky'' concerning the box,
and it is seldom that any of them will
go unattended to the depot at night to
work overtime.
The box was taken to the depot two
weeks ago by two unknown men who
hastily unloaded it and informed the
men in charge that they would make
out the shipping bill later. Since that
time nothing more has been heard of
them.
Finally when the employees com
menced smelling the supposed odor of
decaying flesh they began to grow sus-
picious.
If within the next few days some
thing does not turn up concerning the
ownership and contents of the mys-
terious box, it is threatened that it will
be broken open.

SAYS SPOILERS SEEK BRIBE.
Majors Declares Ericsson Solicited
Money From Him.

MAJORS Declares EE1CSSOn OODCAtCA
Money From Him.
Columbus, Kan, Aug. 1s.-County
Attorney A. L. Majors has issued the
following statement in answer to the
affidavits of H. C. Ericsson and T. B.
Armstrong duplicating him in an eff
fort by jointists to bribe them not to
appear as witnesses in the liquor
cases in which they gathered evidence:
Mr.. Peter Russell, of East Mineral,
came to my office at Columbus and
told me that Ericsson and Armstrong,
who had been acting as detectives for
the state, desired to see me at his,
Russells store in East Mineral.
I told Russell to tell Ericsson and
Armstrong if they desireS to see me to
come to my office at Columbus l
got from Russell an intimation of what
they probably wanted to see me about,
and Immediately conferred with per-
sons in Columbus as to what course It
would be best to pursue. 1t was de-
cided that these gentlemen, provided
they made any improper solicitations
for money should be allowed to go
ahead until their purpose could be
shown. l had heard suggestions from
time to time that these men were
trying to sell out and 1 thought if that
was the case the governor and attor-
ney general had a right to know the
character of these men.
Armstrong and Ericsson came to
my office the following morning and
after talking for awhile came out with
the proposition that they wanted to
raise $4,000 in Cherokee county from
the liquor men and that they would
get out of the state and not appear as
witnesses. [ said, Boys, that is with
you and them And they said, You
can help US if you advise this thing
to go through L said, GU will have
to see them, boys
This was the substance of our en-
tire conversation, and after they left
again conferred with persons in Col
umbus and told them what their
proposition was, and. Peter Russell
was directed to not consider in any
way the giving of any money, until a
committee of three or more, would
have a chance to meet them and get
their proposition.
Almost Immediately after this pro-
position was made to me 1 suggested
to an attorney in Columbus that he
quietly let the attorney general and
governor of the state know what these
men were trying to do down there,
and upon the arrival of Attorney Gen
eraI Dawson in Columbus last Mon
day, and as soon as I could possibly
get his attention, I called his attention
to this transaction of these gentlemen
Fortunately I have evidence of
some of the best men in Columbus to
establish tn csc facts as have stated
them, and am not dependent upon my
own word. I personally considered it
my duty to catch these gentlemen in
this transaction that I believed they
were trying to carry through. and get
at least sufficient evidence against
them to get some order of the court to
place these men under bond to appear
as witnesses at our October term of
court In many cases in which I am
interested along with the attorney gen
erals office these men have already
been subpoenaed and upon precipae
filed by me-.

Nolin. Feb. 2O.-While Steve Ed
wards was sitting astride his saddle
horse Sunday morning and holding a
horse ridden by his brother, Kermit,
while the latter was in the postoffice
which is close to the O.-W. tracks, an
approaching freight train scared the
horses and it was a miracle that
Steve was not crushed 10 death.
The horses turned toward home to
a crossing directly in front of the To-
comotive and the only thing that saw
ed the rider was that he turned Ker-
mits horse loose and spurred his own
steed off the track. Instead of keep
ing the road the riderless horse
ran beside and ahead of the locomo-
tive almost a mile, jumping two stock
guards before leaving the track.
He proved himself a good runner
but would have. been struck had not

Aside from a merry chase to catch
the runaway no damage was done.
