His father, the late ex-governor John
A. Martin of Kansas, commanded the
Eighth Kansas regiment as colonel,
in the eventful service seen by that
outfit as part of the army Of the
Cumberland. Martin also comes nat
urally by his journalistic ability, the
colonel having been militant free
soil editor In the days of the slavery
controversy.
Thus equipped by heredity, Martin
is carrying on in his territory. He has
been in the thick Of battle from the
start, having organized the Legion post
at Battle Creek at the close Of the
war. In addition to being a fighter
and an editor, Martin is an engineer.
He served with the Three Hundred and
Fourteenth engineers through the st.

the fortune willed him by his grand
father, the late Gen. Gordon Duffield,
impelled young Gordon to flee school.
His flight was the response to re-
current wanderlust which on six prior
occasions caused the youth to desert
the parental roof, said his mother, Mrs.
Graham Duffield.
For months Mrs. Duffield had ex-
hausted every effort to locate her son.
Last week, after private detectives had
failed, she left her home at 81 North
Dearborn street, Chicago, and came to
New York. She Informed the missing
persons bureau at police headquarters
and the newspapers.
Asked how he had earned a liveli-
hood, Mrs. Duffield said he had told
her he did odd Jobs as he found them
Jobs ranging from dish washing in
lunchrooms to hawking foodstuffs

fendant's personal problems following
his violation Of the law" replied the
judge.
Detroit has been able to achieve
results by adherence to three basic
principles and practices:
First, the close cooperation toward
law enforcement between the police
department under Inspector Harry
Jackson, the board Of commerce, the
prosecutor, the automobile club of 3O,-
600 members, and the safety council.
Second, the consistent revocation Of
driving licenses In all cases where
motorists are convicted Of reckless and
dangerous driving, or for driving while
drunk.
Third, the newer system of Jail SEN
tences for speeders.

Auto Speeders in Jail Wreck No Lives

DETROIT, MICH.-Speeders in jail
- wreck no lives. Detroit, home and
hearth Of the automobile, has proved
the new traffic axiom to it's unbOunded
satisfaction. John Duval Dodge, youth
full heir to motor millions, agrees per-
fectly after five drab and speedless
days at hard work in the house Of
correction. Fifty speed fans serving
sentences Of from one to ten days at
hard labor are thoroughly convinced
of the truth In it. Judge Charles l..
Bartlett, who has defied Detroit's mil
lions by infiicting Jail sentences on
speeders, knows it is sound.
In less than month The Motor
City. which boasts more cars per
capita than any like district in the
world, has watched its fatal automobile
accident toll reduced more than 80 per
cent.
The situation here was graphically
pictured in one Of the cases.

Wild Bill was anything but quar-
relsome man, yet none but himself
could enumerate the many con-
flicts in which he had been engag-

This tribute from one fighter to
another was sincerely given out of
respect born of long personal ac-

mont, Bridger and other famous
frontiersmen. These tales turned
his thoughts toward life of adj
venture, and while still in his teens
he enlisted in 1855 under Jim Lane
in the guerilla warfare of Kansas
preceding the Civil war, which
sprang from the ''free soil' dis
pute. He soon gained reputation
for fearlessness and GOODNESS in any
crisis, and in country where Bit
ter factional feeling ran high and
life was held cheaply, he was elect
ed constable at the age of 1o. He
is described then as a tall, gang
ling youth, six feet in height, with
yellow hair and blue eyes" Later
he grew into man who answered
the description of Custer, muscular,
agile and graceful-the embodi-
ment of physical power. His feat
ures were regular, cleancut and ex-
pressive. His bearing was erect
and dignified. His voice was al

stances was he quarrelsome. He

of the law or self-defense. He now
determined to settle down to
peaceful life after having become
a popular national character. He
had, however, little time to enjoy
a life of quiet, for on the End day
of August, 1876, while sitting at
game of cards gambler, Jack Nc
Call, shot him dead from behind for
no other reason than that he had
grudge against Bill. Mccall was
turned loose by miners court, but
on being arrested by state officers
a few days later was tried, CON
victed of murder and hanged.
Wild Bill was buried at Dead
wood and a handsome monument
erected over his grave, which has
since attracted the attention of
tourists to the story of the great
est gunman the west ever knew.
