Tribune Ranchman Runs Down
Wolves on Machine.
Now Claims Wolf killing
Championship in Kansas.

Tribune. Kan, May 20.-Harley
Burch, rancher near here, claims to
be the champion wolf catcher of
western Kansas. He has from time to
time missed, colts from his herd of
thorough bred horses. Recently he no.
ticed two wolves chasing a colt over
range on his ranch. He mounted
his motorcycle and gave chase to one
of the wolves, chasing it down and
running over it twice. The second
time the impact with the brute made
the machine turn turtle, pinning the
wolf beneath the engine. Burch was
unhurc and Immediately kicked the
brute to death. Yesterday he ran the
other wolf down, killing it with the
first blow from the machine. He was
unarmed on both chases.

FIFTY YEARS AGO
Lawrence Will Celebrate Visit
of Quantrel and Band.
Business Men Organize for
Homecoming Week.

Lawrence, May 20.-F'ifty years ago
the twenty-first of August. the village
of Lawrence was entered by a gang of
border ruffians from Missouri, led by
the Indian guerilla, William Clark
Quantrell, the buildings were burned
and pillaged and many of the citizens
were slain.
That was fifty years ago. From that
heap of smoldering embers the pres
ent city of Lawrence, a city of 1000
inhabitants, has grown. A movement
has been started for the observance
of that eventful day fifty years ago
and if the plans are carried out Law
renee will honor the memory of those
pioneers who fell on that day and
will celebrate the city's present great
ness on August 21 of this year.
AS yet the matter of a celebration
is little more than suggestion, but a
number of persons have spoken in
favor of such a celebration and an
organized effort for an observance
of the day will be made some time
soon. The proposition seems certain
of success. Perhaps it will be that
the program will cover several days
or it may be that Cnly the twenty
first will be observed.
The twenty-first of August is
date which Lawrence people can
never forget. Heretofore the day has
been remem bered in Lawrence by the
old settlers who recalled the events
of that day, but there has never been
a general observance of the day.
Lawrence people never felt that it
was a gala occasion. 1t was the sad
deSt date in the history of the city.
But Lawrence has grown into a city
now and this growth began imme-
diately after the Quantrel raid. 1t is
urged that this is befitting date on
which to celebrate this growth.

RELATIVES CONTEST A WILL.
Heirs of DR.. Wisner of Medicine Lodge
Doubt Doctors Sanity.

Medicine Lodge, Kan, May 2O.-De-
claring that the mind of DR.. Henry
Wisner, who died at Sharon recently,
must have been affected when he
made his will. his heirs are planning
to set aside wishes Of the philanthro-
pist in respect to the division of his
$125,00 estate.
DR.. Wisner bequeathed $4,000 to
the w. c. II. u. OF Kansas, to he used
in fighting the liquor traffic. And also
gave $25,9O0 to the two daughters a1d
the niece of ex-senator Chester 1.
Long.
His two sons. Charles and Henry,
are given about S23.GO0 and his six
grandchildren were cut off without d
cent.
Mrs. Charles Wisner states that the
heirs cannot see how a sane man could
have willed his property in that way.
DR.. Wisner and his children did net
agree on the liquor question and this
is said to have been largely due to The
terms of the will.
