Wife IN IT
Squatter on Dodge City Park in
Trouble.
Charge of DeSertiOn May Save
Park Awhile.

Dodge City, Kan, Dec. Sword from
Greensburg, Kansas, that A. W. Cain
the travelling photographer, who at
tempted to settle on the city park here
under the supreme courts decision pro-
nouncing islands in the beds of navi-
gable streams school lands, is held here
charged with wife desertion, has re-
lieved the tense excitement here. Cain
is the second man who has attempted
settlement of the park, feat against
which citizens here are particularly
preiudiced. The first squatter was
threatened with mob election and fled.
Cain received like threats and being
also refused filing papers by the county
clerk, contented himself with publish
ing a claim to the land.
If Mrs Cain raises enough "Cain"
with Cain to send him to Lansing peni-
Tertiary for two years for wife deser-
ton, Dodge Cityans feel he will be out
of the way till the next legislature dis
poses of the Arkansas river school
land troubles.
County Attorney c. H. Bisset, of
Greensburg, Erites the trial will be held
Tuesday. Interest here is so intense
bulletins will be posted here on the re-
suit.

MEADE MAKES DENIAL.
No Coal or Car Shortage There, Mer-
chants Say.

Meade Kan, Dec. 9.-In regard to
the article in your issue of December
5, 1912, in which it was stated that
Meade was without coal, and that we
were forced to burn chips for fuel,
etc, we desire to make a denial, and
trust that you will be kind enough to
give this as much space as you did the
story.
There has not been a shortage of
coal in Meade during the past year,
kilograms and letters to the contrary
Notwithstanding. At no time this fall
has there been less than 100 tons of
coal in the bins of the dealers here.
This story circulated by you was a
fake newspaper tale, a la Leahy, or a
pipe dream, conceived in iniQuity and
sin by a country news writer in a
small town west of Meade county.
Furthermore, we desire to say that
we are on the main line of the Rock
Island railway, and that at no time
this year have we been discomm Oded
b va shortage of cars, notwithstand-
ing the fact that over $50, 900 bushels
of wheat, besides other grain, have
been shipped from Meade. A large
Mount of the wheat in the county is
being held by the farmers for higher
prices. Yours very truly,

HIS WIDOW DIES
Murderers of Jesse F. StingIey
Responsible for Two Deaths.
Shock of Killing Too Much for
Ottawa Girl.

Ottawa, Kan, Dec 9.-Nrs. StingIey
widow of Detective Jesse F. Stingleyi
formerly of this city, who was muir
dered by box car thieves near Utah
Junction, Colo, six weeks ago, is dead
at st. Joseph's hospital Denver, leaving
two little orphan boys. The physicians
say she died of a broken heart, crushed
by the tragedy that removed her hus-
band.
Mrs Stingley was found in deliriun
by a friend Friday of last week and
was removed to the hospital. From the
time of the tragedy the frail little wom-
an prayed to die and walked the floor
exc1aiming passionately that life was
not worth the living without her hus-
band, whom she worshipped. But she
did live for the sake of her two little
ones. She had regained some sem
blance of composure when the muc-
derers were captured and the frightful
tragedy. with all its horror of detail
was rehearsed out there on the railroad
tracks. She had been told by friends
that her husband lad died without a
word on his lips and without pain.
It was in the tender capacity of nurse
that Jesse Stingley first met and loved
the woman who later became his wife
and the mother of his two little boys.
Mrs. StingIey. through a long sickness
then Mary Murnane, nursed him. 1t
was several years ls ter before she con-
scented to become his wife.
Friends say that the two were ideally
mated. They were congenial, both fond
of books and full of fun, and were
happy.
Denver dispatches give details of the
recent escape from the jail at Brlgh-
ton. Colo, of Frank L. Smith, one OF
the confessed murderers of Detective
Jesse StingIey. He used saw in cut
tine his way out. 1t is believed that
the saw was smuggled into the Jail in
clothing that had been admitted. Inen
the guards discovered four new mes
concealed in the cell of Nip Code'
Smiths companion in the murder.

MYSTERY IN WICHITA SHOOTING
Grocer Shot in Head-Part of His
Money Gone.

Wichita, Kan, Dec. S-Mrs- joe
patton. the young and pretty Wife OF
a we'll known Wichita grocer, rusheu
10 a neighbors home crying that heI
husband had been shot. She was clau
in a nightrobe. The Pattons reslde III
looms at the rear of their store. Neigh
bors rushed to the store and found
Mr. Patton in bed, a bullet hole IN
mis- head and a revolver on the moor
,7nder his right hand, which was hang
ing over the side of the bed. Although
the killing took place at 4:45 a. M
If was not until an hour later that
the police were called. They found two
shots had been fired, both from re-
voIyer. The second bullet was 1mbed-
ded in a wall in Patton's room.
Mr.. and Mrs. Patton did not occupy
the same room. The second shot was
fred, so the police say, by person IN
Mrs. Patton's room. They examined
the revolver found near Patrons bed
and say that two shots recently have
been fred from it although there was
but one empty cartridge in the cham
bers.
Mrs. Patton says she heard two shots
fred and saw the flash of a pocket
searchlight. The police searched, find
ing that somebody had disarranged
goods but had taken nothing, it is be-
lieved. A hole through a screen door
apparently made by somebody to indi-
cate that a robber had been at the
place was found by officers, but they
say that the lock to the door could
not have been sprung through the hole
They declare that the hole was punch
ed from the inside Of the building. Pat
ton had 1856 in his trousers pocket.
Mrs. Patton says that he should have
had $500.
