scout and Snowman, was for many
years known to nearly every man.

which he toured this country and
Europe. He was a picturesque type
Of the pioneer frontiersman and lived
to see large cities built where he once
hunted the buffalo and fought In
dams.
COL William f. Cody was born in
Scott county, Iowa, Feb. 26, dS46. His
ancestral stock was Spanish, English

and took up a. claim near Leaven-
worth, Kans., thenasaa frontier Indian

Philadelphia. Jan. 1Q.--Detectives
working to- clear up the mystery sur
rounding the murder in her apart
ments here of Maize Colbert, the ad
vertising art model, advanced the
theory today that one person and pos
sibly two, besides the girl and hel
slayer, were in the room when the
crime was committed.
While they still adhere to their be-
lief that Bernard w. Lewis, of Pitts,
burgh, who committed suicide in At
lantic City Thursday night, beat Miss
Colbert and afterward strangled her
to death with a silk stocking, the po-
lice say that discrepancies as to the
time the model was last known to be
alive and the time Lewis was seen in
a Market street haberdashery, has led
to the supposition that there was al
least one eyewitness to the murder.
The theory again is engaging the
attention of the detectives that black
mail was the motive for the crime

His career in this line identified him
with the great fighting epoch between

was effectively finished in the Ghost
Dance war in the decisive battle OF

force with fresh Buffalo meat for a
certain period. killing under one con-
tract 4, $50 buffAloes. On one occasion
he killed the noted Cheyenne chief

Outcome of Craftsmanship
Fight Explained in New
Light by Lawmakers.
Especial to The Farmer. }

Hartford, Jan. 1O-Legislators re-
reopening of the General Assembly
tomorrow brought with them an en-
tirely new reason for the walloping
that was handed John T. King, Of
Bridgeport, in the selection of sthe
president pro tenn of the Senate How
young Senator Lyman was put in that
office over Col. Hank Hall, who
had the support of Kings Fairfield
delegation, is now a matter of his
tory Why it was done was explained
this way today:
John T. has aspirations to be head
of the Republican national commit
tee, and he's making a play for the
support of the progressive element of
that body. He brought Col. Roose-
welt to Bridgeport during the CAM
paign and made big fuss over him,
and since election has frequently
been in conference with the former
Bull Mooser at New York. The colo
mel has been informed first-hand that
John T. would make a great chairman
of the national committee.
This action and Kings method of
trying to put himself over didn't
make a hit with ]. Henry Roraback
and others of the f"Old Guard" in this
state. They still remember 1912 and
the part that Col. Roosevelt played
in that campaign. Speaker Frank E.
Healy, who's a good little pal of ".
Henry's, didn't care so much for the
way John T. acted in the last state
convention when Healy was a candi-
date for the nomination for governor.
So, the forces went quietly to work.
Col. Hall woke up Tuesday night to
find that his 20 votes had dwindled to
10 and he was licked by the youngest
member of the Senate.
J. Henry and Frank Healy smiled.
The spectacle of "the next Republi-
can national committee chairman"
getting bumped III his own state may;
give party workers in this state anv
elsewhere, including Mr.. King, a
whole lot to think about.
