Washington. D. c., March 2S.-The
United States cruiser Brooklyn, which
sailed from Manila last Thursday, is
due to arrive at Guam to-day from
which port, it is understood, she will
convoy to San Francisco the German

by a Japanese warship some months
ago. The Brooklyn left Manila under
sealed orders and her destination has
been the subject of more or less con-

Car Shortage Felt

A number of those bringing
wheat to Meade have difficulty in
unloading for the reason that
there is a shortage of cars, the
elevators have their storage bins
filled and the grain dealers hesi-

on the ground. Saturday was
the first dav that our farmers
we're seriously inconvenienced
ia this way, even though the eff
feet of the shortage of cars has
been felt by the dealers forsonie
time. The inability of the rail.
roads to provide sufficient cars
to move the wheat seems to bG

be dong their utmost to relieve
the situation.
Wheat was $l.18 per bushel
Tuesday, and to-day IS up to the

A Tale of Mexico

After hiring band to play the
Star Spangled Banner, the Mu-
milton Maker informed the Par
ents that they should consider it
their greatest joy to be able to
give a son for the honor aud
glory of the Republic.
The Parents, saddened, yet
with patriotism in their hea is,
gave their son, that he might
march against Mexico.
In Washington there was a
man called the President. He
brought order from chaos and
made Mexico understand things
without the necessity of a bloody
wor.
The MunItion maker was irate
and said to the Parents, "He re-
fuses to send your boy to the
slaughter. We might have had
glorious war and now this man
called the President ends the
trouble without having your boy
made a target. Surely you will
not vote for such man." Salina

A similar attack occurred al
Plains, on Thursday of last
week, in which instance Mrs.
Everett Edwards was the vic.
tim. Her story is as follows;
Her husband was at his gar
age, down town. Her brother
and his family had spent the
evening with her. The Ed
wards children were at the pic
ture show. When they return
ed home, at about 900 p. M,
they were sent for the milk, a
block or more away; her brother
and family went home and Mrs.
Edwards went from the front
part of the house to the back
porch. She was washing her
hands when some one from be-
hind grabbed and blindefolded
her. She felt something cold on
her face, and knew nothing
more. When the children re-
turned with the milk the house
was dark; they called to their
mother and when she dId not
answer they went to the house
of a neighbor who went home
with them and into the house.
No trace of their mother could
be found, so they went to the
home of another neighbor to
look for her. About this time
Mrs. Edwards regained con-
sciousness and found that she
was in the cellar, her hands and
feet were tied and a towel was
in her mouth. She freed her

Mystery Yet dissolved

The people of Plains and sur
rounding country have been con-
siderably worked up since an
attack was made on Mrs. Fred
Warner, whose home is eight
miles north and six miles west
of Plains. Sunday evening.
The story so far learned is
about as follows: r
At about 1000 p. m. Mrs.
Warner stepped outside the
front door of her home, and the
next thing she knew a mans hat
was pHlled down over her eyes
and his hand was over her mouth.
A struggle followed and Mrs.
Waruer succeeded } in getting
his hand loose and called for help.
Her fourteen-year old daughter
heard her scream and came to
the door. Hearing the screen
door open, the assailant struck
Mrs. Warner in the temple,
dragged her a short distance
and f1ed. By this time the hired
man arrived on the scene and af-
ter assisting in getting Mrs.
Warner into the house, procur.
ed. "a six shooter and started in
pursuit. AS he stepped outside
he saw man cross the yard and
he fired two shots after him. I'm
fortunately both went wild and
the intruder escaped.
When Mrs. Warner regained
CONSCIOUSNESS the only descrip-
tion she could give of the man
was that the oder or tobacco was
very noticeable upon his clothing.
Members of the family have
since recalled seeing light,
supposed to be that of all auto.
mobile, about mile from the
house fully an hour before the
attack.
Mr.. Warner was away from
home at the time. The hired
man and his wife, whose house is
in the same yard with the Warn.
er house; Mrs. Warner aud her
daughter were the only ones at
home at the time.
The premises were carefully
guarded until blood hounds arr
rived from Pratt, but they were
unable to pick up any trail.
A Burns detective has been
employed but up to the present
time no clue has been found.
