Those who are best informed are
convinced that whatever arrangement,
If any, was lade directly between Col
oneI Harvey and Mr.. Morgan or by
any other persons who came into con

Harvey a perfectly free hand. His re

business man of great executive ab1I-
ity, Of a keen appreciation Of what the
reading public wants and one, too, pos
sessed of the most ia stful and COM
pan*onabe nature, which in not way
tnapairs his executive strength. The
hope was that Colonel Harvey would
bring the whole establishment back to
its former prestige Some of his IN

understanding that the publication by
Colonel Harvey through this house OF
the works of Mark Twain brought al
most phenomenal financial returns to

BAD MAN IS SHOT
CONTINUED from Page u


The frightened man took refuge in
a hotel He hadn't been seated long
enough to gasp out his story of having
been held up when the door opened and
the man carrying death in two forms
stalked in. Covering the crowd with
his revolver he demanded if they
Wanted anything" He was assured
anyone in the crowd had ever been or
was then engaged in a vain search for
trouble. He was assured that there
were no such persons present
The armed stranger continued his
search for some person who was not
completely satisfied with his lot and
found no discontented ones here So he
TANNED a few shots into the night air
just on general principles.
But he reckoned without DR.. Layton
of Valley Falls. The physician visited
the town about the time the walking
arsenal arrived When he learned of
the actions of the stranger he waxed
wroth. ANY how he decided that the
'eThins Had Gone Far Enough" He
orga nized the terror stricken inhabit-
ants of the town and armed with gall
axv of shooting irons they accosted the
stranger. ordered him to drop his
weapons and extend his hands sky
ward. Instead of complying he fired
twice at the crowd and was answered
by a vOlley that crashed and echoed
He called out that he gave up
He was carried into a livery stable
and found to he suffering from a wound
caused by five shot from shotgun.
He is now being cared for here and viii
be sent to Kansas City when he recov-
ers.
Tells of Assault and Robbery.
In his pockets were found twl tickets,
one from Valley Falls to Kansas City
president, William Howard Taft was
endorsed by us votes to Roosevelt's %.
and another from San Francisco to
Chicago He is about 4S years d nd
speaks English with a German accent.
His name, he says, is Anton Kunitt.
Beside being unable or unwilling to
explain his actions the stranger talks
ratiinally since his capture. He has
plenty of money and several money
orders. He is believed to have walked
hera from Valley Falls.
Kunitt says he was struck on the
head and robbed while in San Fran
cisco. His head is bruised and he wore
bandage on it when he arrived in
Winchester. He claims to have believed
the people here wanted to rob him.
