Mrs. Priscilla Miller, a feeble woman, 72 years of age, appeared at Eglinger restaurant about 11 o'clock yesterday morning and asked for something to eat as she was very hungry and without money. She was placed at a table and a meal was prepared for her, but ehe fainted shortly after Efce began and it was with some difficulty that she was revived. The patrol wagon was sent for and the feeble old woman was taken to the police station. She began crying when placed in the patrol wagon and she kept it up incessantly all day.

It seems that Mrs. Miller has had more to cauee her grief than ordinary weman has. Eleven months ago her three sons left their home at Newburg, N. and went to Cripple Creek, hoping thereby to make their fortunes. After being there about three months they run out of money and were compelled to be without many of the necessities of life.

One of the boys was attackel with pneumonia end they sent fcr their mother. The son died shortly after his mother arrived. Then another son took down w.th the Else disease and he too succumbed to its terrific powers. The third son died two months ago and the heart broken mother left for the eaet. She got part of the way to Atchison by being allowed free passage on trains by kind hearted conductors, but she siyB she walked about two hundred miles of the distance.

Mrs. Miller came i through Atchison two weeks ago, but 1 on to Troy, where she has ac qiaintaccfs. She walked from Troy to Atchison yesterday morning and was nearly exhausted when she arrived here. After she had been taken to the police station she inquired for Rev. John Henry Hopkins, but was informed that that gentleman was now a resident cf St.

Joe. It was thought best to send her to the poor farm end she seemed perfectly willing to go, and late yesterday evening she was taken to that institution. Since writing the above it has been learned from the operator at Eist Atchison that Mrs. Miller called at the depot over there Monday night and remained over an hour. She told the operator all about her troubles and cried most of the time.

She said she came in on the Santa Fe at o'clock Monday evening; so this changes her story about her coming from When she left the depot in East Atchison about 10 o'clock Monday night Bhe Jtold the operator the was coming over to this side, but ao ehe did not ar rive in Atchison until yesterday morning it is thought she slept out in Eiet Atch son over eight COMMITTED MURDER. According to a Report Received Yester day Tom Lanier is to Hang. Kports received by telegraph in Atch 'sin yesterday from a small mining eta tioa in Montana bring the intelligence that Tom Lanier will soon ba hanged fo: a murder he committed not long ago, fh9 telegram stated that Lanier was engaged in a quarrel with a fellow miner and becoming enraged he killed him The telegram also stated that he would be hanged for the deed. Lanier went to Montana several months ego. The tele graph operators were trying to get some thing more definite concerning the re port last night, but they were unable to do so.

Corson, the well known farmer and stock raiser liv'ng nesr Potter, has several chestnut trees on his farm which ere loaded with chestnuts thi; season, and he s-ys they are equally prolific their bearing every year.

There is a general impression that the chestnut, which is such a prolifi- bt6rer in the east, iB not at all adapted to our western soil and climate, but this is a mistake Mr. Corson says the chestnut will thrive and jar well in this region as any where. The nuts raised on Mr. Corson's trees are of cood quility and the trees are thrifty and hardy, not being effected by the severest weather. One tree some times produces eeverl bueliels of nuts and they bring aa rauca as 22 centB per pound.

The trees require no more cultivation thin ordinary but bearing trees. Several chestnut trees in Atchison are known to be prolific bearers ANOTHER FORGERY.
