NOW Z. S. CAN'T SELL IT.
Huron Cemetery Belongs to Tribe.
Heirs Miss Con1ey Says.

Kansas City. July 22.-Miss LYDIA
Conley, one of the three sisters who
have held Huron Cemetery in Kansas
City, Kan, for five years against all
attempts to sell the ground, does not
approve of the proposal that the ceme-
terry be bought by Kansas City, Kan.
She says that it could not be made a
part of the city park system because
there is no way by which the city
could obtain a title to the ground.
The cemetery is not public ground
and could not be made so Miss Conley
says. BY the terms of the treaty that
the federal government rnade with the
Wyandotte Indians in 1866 the ceme-
terry was to remain as a burial ground
for the tribe and was to be kept as a
monument to them. It is the property
of the heirs Of the tribe, Miss Conley
believes, and could not be made a part
of a public park system She believes
that the government should act as a
trustee of the cemetery and should
take care of it forever.

NEW MISSOURI PACIFIC TRAIN.

Operating Officials.

Salina, KAN. July 22.-Following
the visit of a party of Missouri Pacific
officials in Salina. it is said that the
local Salina-Wichita plug train would
probably go on with the new time
card. superintendent Snedeker said:
81 have advised it put on with the new
change if only for an experiment, and
if found not to pay it could be taken
off. This will not be a new train but
simply a continuation of the present
Wichita Geneseo train through to Sa-
lima. Very little has been said about
the running of the local train over the
Salina loop, but that is very possible
as the express which trains Nos. 3 and
4 have to carry to Salina makes it very
difficult for these trains to run on
time

REYNOLDS AWARDED
MAIL CARRYING JOB
To Operate Transfer Wagons Be-

Postmaster H. A. ]. Mcdonald today
received official notification from
Washington, stating that the contract
for the hauling Of the mail between
the depots and the local postoffice had
been awarded to Elmer E. Reynolds,
proprietor of the Rock Island Trans
fer company. The contract extends
from July /, 1911, to June 80, 1915.
The amount of Mr.. Reynolds bid is a
little more than $4,000 annually,
which IS an increase over the amount
paid to Cornelius Buckley, the present
contractor, of $2,100 The increase in
the volume of mail in the last four
years has been considerable, due chief
ly to the fact that the printing of the
Modern Woodman of America has
been located here. Mr. Reynolds con-
tract states that screen wagons will
ne used for the service, but at present

BIG BLAZE CAUSE
OF LITTLE DAMAGE
Fire of Incendiary Origin Destroys
Two Sheds and Scorches
Couple Others.

A big blaze which caused very lit
tle damage was discovered shortly be
fore 1 o'clock this morning between
Third and Fourth streets near Sixth
avenue, and a general alarm was turn
ed in to the fire department. The
companies responded Immediately, but
evidently the man who turned in the
alarm thought that the whole west
end of the city was doomed, for he
turned in several other alarms and
asked that every one available be sent
to the scene.
The fire, which evidently was OF
incendiary origin, started in a small
shed and barn at the rear of COZ and
G04 Fourth street One of these
buildings was used as a chicken coop
and several of the fowls were burned.
Both buildings were completely de-
stroyed. The two barns across the
alley, at Col and 6O3 Third street,
were scorched. Homer Mitchell lives
at COZ Fourth street, and John
Mariel resides next door. The
two buildings which were de,
stroyed were owned by John
Grogan His loss is SIS and is cover
ed by insurance. Ed Patten resides at
Col and Frank Smith at 6O3 Third
street Their loss is nominal.
At 10:45 this morning the depart
ment was summoned TO the home of
Paul Thiesen, $3.50 Fifth avenue,
where sparks from the chimney had
ignited some shingles on the roof The
damage was small
