Alanson B. Wakefield, once gambler boss of St. Louis, Is dead In an Insane asylum In Osawatomlo, Kan. Forty ears ago Wakefield owned the Grand Opera House. It was known then as Wakefield's Opera Home.

Ie owned several gambling houses, too, and was known as the "Keno King." He was a power In politics and was very rich. l.ut, like the rr.ajorlty of gamblers, lost his money. Wakefield was known as the handsomest man in St. Louis. He was sent to the Penitentiary 20 years ago to serve a term of two years for crookedness In an In the State prison he became Insane and for 2 years he has been In lunatic asy-1 nns.

He died without a dollar, among strangers, a charity ward of the State of Kansas, and he will be buried in a pauper's grt ve. And yet ho was a man of great humiin sympathy and jn his prosperous dnys he crave away thou funds of illars. One of tlie old-time Ramblers who well remembers Wakefield is "Edward Mc- Cttie, better known is "KijMy" McGue. Mof Jue wa.i rich oncu himself, but now lie Is a charity In the city Hospital ind is very weak. He Is 80 vears old.

"Once I was dead broke and Wakefield says to me: 'Kelly, you're broke, ain't 'Flat as a flounder, says I. 'Here, take this $10uo and go against he says. know I was th best faro bank dealer that ever lived. Well, sir, I run that $1000 up to JitoOO In one play. Yes, Wakefield never forgot a friend.

I've often wondered what become of him. So he did In an asylum? Well we all die In about the same way. We win our 1 money easy and spend It easy and when we get too old to do any good for ourselves there's no one to help us." Was River Nil. McQue "ran the river" for many years as a steamboat gambler. He owned a gambling house In New Orleans and one here.

He was one of the early volunteer firemen in St. Louis, having joined the company In 1S45. Once when he was prosperous a man held him up, knocked him in the head and took faono from bis pockets. He waited six years to meet the man again and then he settled with him and there was a funeral afterward. "Wakefield made his big mistake when he went Into politics and tried to run the town," said McOue.

"That got the big men after him and they had him arrested for some sort of crooked work, and while he was In trouble he lost bis opera house and all his money, and the penitentiary sentence turned his mind. I went clear to Jefferson City once to see. him In prison and he was only an Idiot. He didn't know me. But I was always glad I wrtit to see him, anyway.

And I wish some of the old-timers would feel that way about me. I've been around the downtown corners for 72 years and It does seem like someone ought to come out here to see me. I know I've got to die here and It gets mighty lonesome." NATIONAL GUARDSMEN ARE SHAKEN IN A CAR BUMP But No One Is Hurt and They Pitch Tents at Camp Hoik.

Eight witnesses were examined. Tlie Impossibility of reconciling their testimony, though at! were witnesses of the tragedy, led to an adjournment of the hearing until Tuesday morning, when further testimony wllTbe taken.

Mrs. Thompson's story was confirmed by the testimony of her husband, John Thompson, a cripple, who stood up on his crutches before the Coroner's Jury and enacted the scene, saying that Landers had struck the girl twice, "as he would have struck a man," with both fists, following her as sho retreated. The discrepancy between these two ptnrles led to an adjournment. In order that an old man. also an eye-wltnesM, may be found before the hearing Is concluded.

"The name will some day bring the boy a fortune." Story Iloy Tells. Tbe boy tells the same story that has come from Cleveland in press dispatches, which In effect Is thai he several times saw the mysterious woman who claimed be his mother on the streets in Vleveland and once at the Beardslee residence, ills only reason for believing hat she inirlit be his mother is that he was told so by Mrs. Beardslee, his foster mother. Young Beardslee has said that he felt strangely attainted toward the woman who claimed to be his mother the first time he saw her. One day when he was about 8 years old a nicely dressed woman stopped him on the street as he was hurrying to school.

She asked him his name and said: "Don't you want to go for a street car ride?" The boy says that he forgot all about school and went with the woman, not knowing what Impelled him.

Beardslee that she was hia mother. The boy also says that he remembers Mrs. Beardslee telling the. woman who called herself his mother that any mother had a right to claim her son when he was of age. He says that at first Mrs.

Beardslee denied that she was not Ms mother, but afterwards admitted to him that the woman calling herself Mrs. Long was his natural mother and that he had been taken from a Cleveland orphanage when he was two years of age. "I care more about where mv mother's grave Is than to get what property Bhe might have left," young Beardslee is reported to have said after arriving In St. Louts.
