| The five councilmen who were
elected In April, 1911, to run the city
with Mrs. Wilson objected to having
a woman as their chief, and did their
best to make her give up in disgust.
AS described in the Kansas City Star,
giving the later history Of the case,
they started in by trying to make life
miserable for the mayor, and the last
[ofHthem have now ingloriously ended
by being ousted from office by the
Kansas supreme court for failure to
perform their duties. By the order Of
the court Mrs. Wilson may appoint
the councilmen needed, men or women
the remaining month Of her two-years'
term. It was reported that she would
appoint three women and two men.
The Hunnewell farce, after run Of
twenty-three months, Is thus ended.
The plan adopted by the five council
men at the outset was that Of refusing
to meet with the mayor. One Of the
five was the local agent Of the Santa
Fe railroad. With more judgment than
railroads have sometimes shown, the
Santa Fe, to quite the Kansas City
Star, after the second spasm Of the
councilmen In refusing to meet" with
Mrs. Wilson, served notice on the
agent that he could either quit rail-
roading or quit trying to make a mon
key out of the woman mayor" The
agent resigned from the council, and
so did another Of the five, just after an
custer suit had been filed. But the
three remaining officials stuck to
their comic role and had the hardi-
hood, when the custer suit against
them was brought into the supreme
court, to try to prove that they were
doing their duty according to their
oaths.
The court thought differently, and
after giving the three a dressing down
told them to go back and act with the
mayor according to law and conduct
the city decently instead Of making 1t
a laughing stock, The three men then
asked the court to compel the city and
Mrs. Wilson to pay the costs Of the
suit, but the court apparently sus-
pended Judgment on this while seeing
how its orders were observed II soon

A groan escaped him as he sat In

Claude Swanson Allen, namesake Of a
United States senator, was being led
through the corridor to the chamber

story Of the Crime.
The execution of Floyd and Claude
Allen, who had been the principal
actors in the shooting up" Of the
Carroll county court at Hillsville,
March IA, 1912, Is the closing chap
ter Of one Of the most sensational
murder tragedies ever enacted in this
country.
Sometime in February, 1912, two
nephews Of Floyd Allen were arrested
for some minor offense by a deputy
sheriff. While they were being taken
to the Jail, Floyd Allen attacked the
, deputy, knocking him senseless with
the butt of q revolver and rescued
his prisoners. He was arrested and
indicted and his trial began In the
early part Of March.
Floyd Allen had openly boasted
that he would never go to prison and
II Is said that the Aliens had made
frequent threats against the court and
everybody connected with 1t. He was
tried March IS. but the jury did not
bring In its verdict until the following
day. The prisoner, being a man OF
prominence, his trial attracted q
great deal of attention and on the
morning IF March II, the court room
was crowded with spectators, among
whom were half dozen or more OF
the members of the Allen family.
The jury returned a verdict or
guilty and the court sentenced Floyd
Allen to one year imprisonment In
the penitentiary. When the presid-
ing Judge, Thornton L. Massie,
turned the prisoner over to the sher-
iff, Floyd Allen exclaimed that he
would not go to prison, drew revolv-
er and opened fire. The other menu

Ethel is a servant now, and has the

talk in that way. Whatever may be

Is mistaken in his judgment because
he has been misinformed and misled

correspondents never make mistakes,
