aSed 80, Bohemian, unmarried, was
found dead, hanging in a tree five
miles north of Perry Sunday morning
by two boys who were fishing on
rlack Bear creek.
2edick was a fam laDorcr and had
no relatives in the nGfghborhood.
From the appearance of the body it
was decided that suicide was the
cause of death and that he had hung
there two days.
The boys were walking along the
creek when they discovered a coat
lying under a tree. One Of them
picked up the coat and was putting
it on when looking up among the
limbs of the large elm, they discov-
cred the CHASTITY corpse of the dead
man hanging fifteen feet above their
heads. He had used a hitch strap
and piece of baling wire for a moose
to swing himself from the limb.

WARNS THE KIDS
Of CURFEW LAW
THE MAYOR HAS SOUNDED THE
WARNING TO YOUNGSTERS TO
KEEP OFF STREETS AT NIGHT.

There is a law on the statutes of
the city that has been oerlooked for
some time, but after the session of
the city court this morning Mayor
Roberts decided it was a good time
to revive it and place it in effect
at once.
The law referred to is the "urfew
law reqdiring all boys and girls of
a certain age and under to be at
home with their parents after a Ger
tain hour. The lax manner in which
the law has been enforced in the
past has caused the small boy to
hold it in contempt entirely, with the
result that there are several in the
city that have been complained of to
the officers and they propose to make
the law effective and require parents
to keep their children off the streets
after nine o'clock at night.
Any boy or girl found down town
without their parents after nine
o'clock in the future will have to be
armed with a mighty good excuse or
the officers will take charge of them,
according to the conclusion reached
by the mayor this morning.

MONTANA SENATOR CONTINUES
HIS SPEECH AGAINST FREE
SUGAR.
WHOLE DAY TO SUGAR
Newlands, RamsdeII, ton and
Williams Are Other 'ocratic
Members Of Senate oppos y , Free
Sugar Provision.

Washington, d. c., June 24.-Seh ,
tor Walsh of Montana resumed his
anti-free sugar speech when the dem
ocratic caucus met today.
Ready to support the amendment to
strike out the provision for free sugar
in 1916 were Senators Newlands,
Ramsdell, Thornton and Williams.
The sugar schedule promised to
take up the entire day and Senator
James planned to lead the defense.
While the caucus battle will de-
termine the strength the democrats
are to have in support of the tariff
bill on the senate floor, the question
of binding the senators to bill as
approved by the caucus will not come
up until all the schedules and sec
tions have been approved.
The anti-free sugar democrats got
together in the senate caucus and
agreed to support the amendment by
Shaffroth to eliminate the provision
for free sugar in 1916 and substitute
a duty of approximately half a cent
per pound for refined sugar,
The caucus set sugar aside tenn
porarily and approved the tobacco
schedule without change, also all Of
the senate committees amendments
to the agricultural schedule relating
to livestock and grains. Wheat AMI
flour were left ON free with coun-
tervailing duty Livestock and meats
were left unrestricted on the free
list.

PELKEY ACQUITTED
Of MURDER CHARGE
JURY DELlBERATEs 45 MINUTES
AND CLEARS FIGHTER OF ALL
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

Calgary, Alberta, June 23-Arthur
Pelkey, the pugilist, tonight was ac-
quilted of a manslaughter charge
which was placed against him as Il
result of the death of Luther Nc
Carty, who died in the first round OF
a scheduled ten-round bout at the
Burns Arena here May "a last. Il
was charged by the government that
McCarty had died from a blow ad
ministered by Pelkey. The jury wal
out but forry-five minutes, although
Chief Justice Harveys charge wal
said to be unfavorable TO the defend
ant
In his charge to the jury Justica
Harvey admitted that there was soma
doubt as to whether or not the con-
test was illegal, but he said there
was doubt that death had been
caused by blow, and that the jury
should consider only whether the
defendant was guilty of causing the
death Of his opponent in an effort to
win the prize placed upon the con-
test. The jury found that the con-
test was a prize fight, but that Pei
key was not guilty of manslaughter,
inasmuch as the blow he struck was
not intended to cause fatal results.
Crowd Cheers Verdict.
A big demonstration followed the
announcement of the verdict, and
as Pelkey stepped from the prison
er's box he was warmly congratu-
lated

JONAH" ENGINE
TO Junk PILE
SANTA FE SWITCH ENGINE NO.
2233 HOLDS RECORD OF THIR-
TY-TWO DEATHS.

Guthrie, Okla, June 23.-Witk a
record Of 80 deaths to it's credit, the
Santa Fe switch engine No. 2233, fol-
lowing service Of 2S years as a
switch engine, has been sent to To-
peka, where it may be rebuilt, but in
all probability will go to the junk
pile instead
For a number Of years No. 2233
has been considered a Jonah" or hoo E
doc by the employees Of the Santa Fe,
for the old engine is known all along
the line from Topeka to Guthrie and
has seen service as switch engine
in TIE two towns mentioned and also
in Arkansas City, Newton and other
Santa Fe towns in KaGsas and Okla
homa.
Because of the old engines repu-
tation as a man killer, it has been
difficult to get men who would con-
sent to take it on the road. All en-
gineers and firemen fought shy OF
such assignments, and even when the
engine was taken recently to Tope-
ka, it was as a tail-ender to another,
not being permitted to make the trip
under its own steam.
No. 2233 is an old Hinkley engine
1t began service on the Santa Fe
when that system was but a small
proportion of its great size today,
being first installed out of Chicago.
Santa Fe trainmen believe it has been
over practically every foot of the en-
tire system. Engines used now by
the Santa Fe must be of 40 tons size,
while the Hinkley is but 35, and it
was for this reason the company de-
clares, that it was condemned re-
Gently and ordered to Topeka. The
trainmen themselves, understand
however, that the fact that the Hink-
ley is considered hoodoo had mucl.
weight in bringing about the con-
demnation proceedings.
Tie old engine has been in Guthrie
working in the local yards for eight
y ears. During that time a number of
persons have been killed by it at
street crossings and the crew in
charge was always fearful of the out
come whenever the engine was In use.
The highest execution record made
by the Hinkley was in Wichita a
of years ago, when the boiler
exploded and killed four men. At
another time, in Wichita, four others
were killed at one time by No. 2233
and a week later a child was killed
at crossing.
The last men in charge -of the old
engine in the Guthrie yards, were
Engineer Kinds and Clarence Will
liams.
