the jury returned a speedy verdict

When told of the verdict by the
sheriff, Kapaun seemed much dis

prisoners that he guessed he'd have to
take it, referring evidently to the con-
sequences of his crime. He seemed to
brood over it more and more until
about O'Clock he suddenly sprang up
and began to hurl himself head first
against the iron bars of the cage where
he was confined.
A fellow prisoner tried to stop him,
but as Kapaun is a big powerful man,
his efforts were not successful. In
sheer desperation he rushed" the

A physician was called and it was

MAKES WHEAT OK.
Rains of Last Two Weeks Soft
EN- Hard Crust.
Jack Rabbits Can Hide Now in
Green Fields.

Larned, kan. May 14.-Reports
from all over the southwestern part
of the state seem to indicate that the
wheat crop needs nothing for some
time to come but warm sunshine. The
heavy rains of the past two weeks
have been amply sufficient to sorten
the hard crust that had formed on the
surface and the Subsoil has at all
times this year been thoroughly sat
urated. Even the crop killers admit
that the outlook at present is broghter
than 1T has been. since sowing time
last fall.
The scare had become so bad that
Professor Jardine of the Agricultural
college made an auto trip over west
ern Kansas and as result advised the
use of the harrow to break through
Wheat Barons'' and the harrows had
hardly been rugged up before the
heavy rains of the past fortnight set
in and the crust thoroughly softened.
Now the only thing the joy killers can
holler for is warm weather and that is
bound to come. The present cold, wet
weather may delay the crop but it
will not kill or even inJure it..
Throughout all the pessimistic convul-
sions experienced since last fall by
LaSalle street, Chicago, the humble
wheat plant has been steadily prepar-
ing for the bumper crop which it is
to bring forth at the end of the. sea-
son.
Between Mullinsville and Liberal on
the Rock Island the crop is reported
in fine shape Near Buckiin it is high
enough to hide jack rabbits. Reports
from Barton, Rush and Scott counties
are very encouraging. Ford county is
expecting a p<only equalled by that
of 1910.

stand as high as his mules knees. In
some places in this and other counties

be found even in the best of years, but
the present indications are that the
crop will be left to take its course and
that that will be prosperous one for
western Kansas.

NEW SANTA F,E DOUBLE TRACK.
Latest Authority for 2s Mile Stretch in
Arizona

San Bernardino, Cal. May 1.-THE
latest stretch on the. Santa Fe coast
lines to receive authority for double
track is the 23 miles between Seligman
and Yampai, on the Arizona division,
announces the Sun. The line is al
ready double tracked east out of Selig-
man, which point IS one of the impor-
tant desert terminals, and the second
line of rails is now to be built to the
west.
The double trac. work to the west
will be comparatively easy, by reason
of the topography of the country.
Work will probably start on the
Seligman end about the same time the
double track is started from this city
to Keenbrook.
The second line. of rails. and the
change in line between Needles and
COTS is now complete after year and
a halls work. The first train to use
the second track the entire distance
was Nc. z of Tuesday. This stretch is
81 miles in length.
Work is being pushed rapidly on the
second track from Needles east to the
river, a distance of IL miles. and when
this is completed there will be 43 miles
of double track in and out of Needles.
The double track scheme is to pro-
vide the second line of rails both ways
out of all important terminals, and
then when this is completed the second
set of "ails will be extended over the
gaps.

Lincoln, Neb., May 14.-Reports are
current in Union Pacific circles at
Cheyenne that the company will soon
begin construction on the North Platte
river line west of Gering, building an
other section from Gering to Bor
deaux, Wyo., a point IS miles north
of Cheyenne. This would require the
building of about so miles of track,
closing almost half the distance be-
tween Gering and r-edicine Bow, Wyo..
where the North Platte river line is
eventually to join the present main
line.
Railroad officials look for the COM
pletion of this project of the Union
Pacific imme diately after the passing
