Cody known to nearly every man, woman, 'boy and girl in America through his wild west show, with which he toured this country and Europe. He was a picturesque type of the pioneer fron tiersman and lived to see large cities huilt where he once hunted the buffalo and fought Indians. Colonel Cody was born in Scott county, Iowa, February 26, 1846. His ancestral stock was Spanish, English and Irish.

When at 10 years old he found aelf head of the family owing to the -death of his father, who was killed In an encounter growing out of a dispute over the negro slave question. Adept In Frontier Activity. Young Cody's first employment was as a courier between the freight wagon trains operated between the Missouri river and the Rocky mountains. In turn he became wagon master, hunter, pony rider and stage coach driver, all giving a varied experience in a school, the graduation from which left the scholar an adept In every possible line of frontier activity. An exciting experience in the union army as a soldier and subsequently as a confidant and scout of his commanders In the desultory and guerrilla 'warfare in the Bouthwest left him at Its finish well known as an all-round frontiersman, competent to advise, to guide and to lead.

Leader in Indian Wars. His career in this line identified him with the great fighting epoch between the red man and the white man waged by General Sheridan after the civil war that temporarily ended In 1876, but was effectively finished in the gho -t df war in battle of Wonnrtnd Knee In the 1890-91 campaign w'fi the northern S'oux.

a bewildering maze of intimations and heated colloquies which turned the house Into an uproar, the house rules committee wrestled for several hours with Thomas W. Lawson of Boston without obtaining any definite information to substantiate the stories of a "leak" to Wall Street in advance of the president's peace note. After declaring that he had evidence of a leak and asserting that he had Information from a member of congress that a cabinet official had been a beneficiary. Lawson flatly refused to give the names to the committee. He announced defiantly that he would give no names regardless of consequences.

Mr. LawBon frequently asked to be excused from answering questions, but not until he had told another story, at first hypothetlcally and then as a report related to him to the effect that a member of the cabinet, a United States senator and a New York banker, had a Joint stock gam- 1 bllng account which was shared among them. He flatly refused, despite persistent efforts of the committee to reveal these names, declaring first that he would not besmirch the names of men in high places at a preliminary inquiry, and secondly that he did not feel called upon at this stage of the Inquiry to give information which would permit criminals to escape or information to be destroyed. Mr. Lawson repeated his public assertions that congress was "wallowing in the mire" of stock speculation and declared that members of congress were wise dealers in stocks, but he did not accuse them of benefiting by advance information on official acts and persistently refused to make any personal charges or make public the name of anyone, official or otherwise.

He cleared the state department and White House of any "leak" on the peace note so far as his knowledge was concerned, but insisted that there had been a "leak;" that there had been advance Information in Wall Street for years on supreme court decisions, president 's messages and congressional matters which were used to the advantage of the stock gamblers. Regarding supreme court leaks, the witness, when questioned closely, stated that he meant to insinuate no Irregularity against the justices themselves, stating that he had never heard of a supreme court Justice talking about a decision in advance. Joseph P. Tumulty, secretary to President Wilson, whose name was mentioned by Representative Wood in rumorB he laid before the house rules committee which is hearing the alleged stock market leak, appeared before the committee to make, a Statement, endorsed by the president, that he had no know ledge of the peace note before it was given to the press. He also denied the report repeated by Representative Wood that he and Bernard Baruch, a New Pork broker, had conferred In a New York hotel a few days before the note was made public.

of State Lansing also took the stand to assert that he had no knowledge whatever of advance information having been circulated regarding the peace note. Mr. Lansing related the physical history of tie note It was prepared, through it passed and of his participation In its preparation.

Oklahoma at 3 o'clock in the morning completely destroyed the exposition building at the state fair grounds. The blaze was first seen by a Katy switch crew, and within thirty minutes the big frame building had burned to the ground. Before the fire department could reach the grounds the structure was destroyed, and the principal efforts were directed toward preventing the spread of the flames. A few refreshment stands were also destrroyed.

The wind carried the Bparks away from automobile building and (he theatre, and both these buildings escaped destruction. The new concrete amphitheater waB showered with sparke. The origin of the fire is not known. The value of the building was $18,000, I. S.

Mahan, secretary of the Fair association said, and the association carried $10,000 Insurance on It. The value of the contents was $5,000, but that loss will fall on individual firms owning booths in the structure. There were seventy booths, Mr. Mahan said, running In value as high as $2,000. The lower floor of the building was devoted during fair time to commercial exhibits and the'upper part to educational exhibits.

This is the second fire the association has suffered within a few months. Just a few weeks before the opening of the fair last September the amphitheater and other buildings were destroyed, but a concrete grand stand was put up in time to permit the fair to open on the regular date. Mr. Mahan said that a meeting of the directors has been called to arrange for the immediate construction of a fireproof structure. Chihuahua defeated at Jimenez by Gen.

In the county Jail are held Pone Poe and Bob Childress, believed to be members of the bandit gang whose daring bank robberies and deeds of outlawry culminated In the slaying of Charles Bullock, city marshal of Delaware, and Johnnie Garretson and wounding of Ed Garretson, perhaps fatally. Poe was placed in the Nowata county jail a warrant charging complicity in the Aluwee bank a few weeks ago. Childress, a negro, was arrested by a posse suspected of having knowledge of the handits who participated in the battle. Bullock and Garretson were killed in a p'tched battle between a citizens' posse and fifteen bandits, eighteen miles northeast of Nowata.

The dead and wounded were members of the posse, which was routed by the bandits, believed to be the Roe-Hart gang of robbers that has terrorized the banks of northeastern Oklahoma for several months. With Nowata and Delaware as the base line, tha battle occurred at what would be the apex of a triangle, projecting east to the confluence of Big creek and the Verdivris river. The country in that vicinity is cut canyons and covered with "blackjack" timber. It is sparsely settled. Garretson Brothers' store at Delaware was robbed last week.

Next day a traveler reported at-the store that he had counted fifteen men, heavily armed, camped in the Verdigris river bottom. Word was sent to officers at Nowata. Four Killed By U. S. Troops.
