Othick had a total of 2,290 votes, giving him a majority of 1,586. Betting yesterday morning early was in favor of Louderback all the time. A majority of the bets were that he would carry by not over fifty votes. The race between Schafer and Tallman was expected to be close. The friends of Martin and Penniman expected a close race, and.

in this they were not disappointed considering the big majorities most of the elected candidates received. Penny gave IVUAVUU denying the allegations in the petition of Aaron Shaffer, which was filed re- cently, and in which he alleges that Streeter brothers wrongfully ejected him from some coal lands near Hammond, which they had leased to him.

(From Wednesday's Dally.

Leonard Cunningham, a lineman for the Bell 'Telephone company, this morning fell from a telephone pole on South Main street, and was very painfully, and perhaps seriously, injured. He is suffering severe pains through his back, chest and abdomen, and it is possible that he has sustained severe internal injuries, although this cannot be definitely determined for at least twenty-four hours, as it takes at least that length of time for distinctive symptoms to develop. He also, sus-' tained a severe sprain of the right vrist. He was immediately taken into tne home of James Neely at 701 South Main street, in front of which he was working at the time of the accident, and physicians called. This afternoon he was removed to his home ft 311 South vEddy street.

The accident happened this morning between 9 and 10 o'clock. Mr. Cunningham while about his work climbed to the top of a pole In front of the Neely home. He reached out along the cross bar at the top of the pole and took hold of one of the pins which Jold the glass insulators to which the wires are fastened. As he raised himself head and shoulders stove the cross bar, he depended up or the pin to hold him.

However, he pin was insecurely fastened, and broke off under his weight, precipitating him to the ground. He fell very heavily, the small of his back striking on a stump near the base of the pole, in view of the height from which hy fell, and the fact that he struck this stump, it is wonderful that he was not hurt more severely. Mr. Cunningham and his wife came to this city from Parsons only, about three weeks ago. He was employed in Parsons for a number of years as a lineman for tne Bell Telephone company, and during his experience there as the victim of two falls, in which was seriously injured.

Several years ago while working for the telephone company in Parsons he received a shock of 2300 volts of electricity, which came near being fatal to him. He is- 31 years of age. TO APPEAL RICE CASE. Attorney Charles Blair Believes Client Was Wrongfully Convicted Was Charged With Burglary. Tuesday's Daily.) Attorney Charles Blair is making an effort to raise a fund with which to appeal the case of Will Rice, colored, who in the January term of court was convicted on the charge of burglary, end sentenced to the penitentiary for term of not less than five years, nor more than ten years.

Rice is now In the penitentiary, having been taken there a number Of weeks ago. Mr. Blair claims that Rice, according to the law, and the evidence in the case, is not guilty of burglary. The regro was found with a number of jars of canned fruit and an old revolver in his possession, belonging to Mrs. Fanny Funkhouser, also colored.

Pomebody had without doubt entered Mrs. Funnnouser's house and taken the but there is nothing to plow, thinks Mr. Blair, that it was Rice who entered the house, despit the fact that the goods were found in his possession. Mr. Blair claims that the law explains that "the possession of recently stolen goods is not sufficient evidence to warrant a conviction for burglary, and therefore believes that Rice was wrongfully convicted, and tnat he can properly be found gull' of nothing more severe than larceny.

(From Dally. In Monday's Tribune-Monitor there appeared a story of the marriage of Miss Grace Huffine, a former Garland girl, who was one of many wives of a man named Ludie Arnold. The arti cle stated that Miss Huffine was the daughter of W. T. Huffine.

This was a mistake. It should have been W. D. Huffine. Mr.

Huffine, the father of the girl, lived in Fort Scott about twelve years ago and was a prominent merchant. W. T. Huffine lives at present at Gar land, and is very well known over the county. The Huffines left Fort Scott and lived in Garland for some years, then they moved to Fredrick, where they have lived since.

Miss Huffine married a rancher whom she suppos ed to be a man of some means. It de veloped after a time that he had eight wives, 'and since then the number has been increasing until at present he has sixteen. Arnold is being tried in Fort Worth for violation of the Mann white slave act and only eight of his wives are present to testify against him. The other eight found it impossible to at tend the trial and to help convict the map who wedded them in mock mar-riaees. Following is' a dispatch from Fort Worth concerning the.

trial, which is now in progress: Comedy and tragedy were enacted yesterday in the federal court of Judge Meek, where Ludie Arnold is being tried for violation of the Mann act. Arnold, who has an obsession for mar- rving. Is accused of having married sixteen women in the course of fifteen years and neglected that little detail of divorce, it is charged. Divorces take up so much time, he says. Eight of the sixteen wives were present to day at the hearing.

They will all be permitted to heap up evidence against Arnold, according to rulings of Judge Meek. Arnold's attorneys fought for admis eibility of testimony from only one wife on the claim that the auegea crime was the same in each case. The eight wives, sitting in a row, smiled at the announcement of the decision, while Arnold looked aghast, despite the good luck that 50 per cent of his wives could not attend the trial. Arnold is an Arkansas rancher, about 45 years old. His mother is owner of valuable tracts in that state and she is attending the hearings She put up a $3,000 cash bond for him His marriages extend over the entire west, from cities in Illinois to Califor nia, and he, with great difficulty, re called most'oE their names yesterday Grace Huffine, whom he married about a year ago in Oklahoma City, said the rancher won her hand by first arousing her sympathy.

"This man," she said, "almost as soon as I met him, began to tell me how lonely he was because of his mothers' death. He described the death scene and wept. Of course I was affected. Then, after he proposed, he bogged me to call up prominent capitalists 'n distant towns to confirm bis statements that he was a big cattle dealer, rich and of splendid charcter. I might have done this, but learned it would cost me $5 to telephone those distant places for three minutes.

Besides, his earnestness convinced me helwas telling the truth and I could not forget his tender feel ing for his mother, whom I later met. I do not know whether the preacher who married us was bona fide or not, but I presumed he was." Hazel Hearn of Kingsville, Iowa, also testified that Arnold made the same representations when he courted and won her He, always was shedding tears, she said, and wanted "a little wife to care for him." The oth er wives assert their evidence will vary but little from that, already of fered. A report received from Fort Worth today stated that Ludie Arnold had been found guilty on three, counts of the indictments aeainst him. The jury was out less than twenty minutes and their decision was praised by the judge, though he asked reconsider it and leave out the second count of the indictment, which he did not consider important. The two counts allowed to stand charge Ludie Arnold with transporting Grace Huffine from Lawton, to Fort Worth and Lydia McConnell, also from Law-ton, to Dallas, in interstate commerce, in violation of Ihe Mann act, and for immoral purposes.

Ed Nickelson, Bertillon Man, Says Is "John Doe, No. 9," Paroled Last July From Lansing. (From Tuesday's Daily.) Ed Nickelson of Mapleton, who is now Bertillon clerk at the state pent tentinry at Lansing, has identified W. Kelson, the man who was brought up from Parsons several days ago with Earl Collins, on the charge of having robbed the F. A.

Potter store in East Fort Scott, as "John Doe No 9, who was paroled by Warden J. Codding last July. Mr. Nickelson says that Kelso was serving a term ln the penitentiary for burglary at the time he was paroled, his term being from five to ten years, and that he had eight pionths to serve to cover the minimum sentence at the time he was liberated. When Mr.

Nickelson called at the sheriff's office and was taken into the jail to see Kelson, the burglar denied ever having seen him before, but the Bertillons' eye and memory could not be deceived and he laughed at the oth ers' statement. "I couldn't forget that mug of yours, John Doe' No. 9," said Nichelson, and the prisoner realized that he was "up against it." He want ed Mr. Nickelson to take him back to Lansing at once, so he could begin im mediately serving out remainder of the term from which he was parol ed. However, he will be held for trial here on the charge of robbing the Pot ter store, and can serve his eight.

In the primary a week ago Glunz polled the highest vote. In the election yesterday that honor goes to Othick. The commissioners will 'probably go in next Tuesday evening, after a short meeting of the city council.

Some of the councilmen stated last night that they would not go out of office until two weeks, when the commissioners would go in on a regular meeting night. 1 Following is a tabulated score of the candidates and how they ran in each of the wards, showing the remarkable landslides which were made: MULE CAUSES SUIT. S. E. Veatch Sues for Value of Animal and F.

A. Haworth Sues for Feeding (From Wednesday's Dally. This afternoon a rather interesting suit came up for hearing in Justice Winkleman's court, ise involving a mule being bro' trial. The plaintiff in the vastf, S. E.

"Veatch of Hepler, claims that a year ago last February he sold a mule to Mr. Haworth, who lives in Pawnee, the price being $48, for which sum he says he took Mr. Haworth's note. He says that since the lime the mule deal was made Mr. Haworth has had possession of the mule, but that he has not paid anything oh the note, and he asks that the mule be restored to him or that he be given judgment for $48, the amount of the note.

Shortly after Mr. Veatch filed his petition, Mr. Haworth filed a cross petition, in which he claims that he bought the mule from Mr. Veatch with the understanding that th9 ani mal was a yearling, but that alter ward he found that it was 2 years old He claims that at the time he purchas ed the mule Mr. Veatch represented it to be only a year old, and assured Mi Haworth that if he found that the animal was older than that he would be willing to take it back.

After the deal Mr. Haworth claims he did find that the mule was more than a year old and he at once notified Mr. VeHicli come and take the animal and he said he would do so, but did not. He asserts he notified Mr. Veatch several times, but that he never came after the animal.

Mr. Haworth now asks that the court give him judgment for the cost of feeding the mule from the time it was purchased, since it was taken through a misrepresentation and is really the property of Mr. Veatch, who should be made to pay something for the animal's feed. OBITUARY. Mrs.

MAJORITIES IN ELECTION WERE TAIWAN ANO MARTIN ELECTED Mr. Penny Developed Strength, But Glunz Was Easy Winner for Finance Commissioner. (From Wednesday's Daily) Mayor, LOUDERBACK. Commissioner of Finance, WALTER GLUNZ. Commissioner of Streets and Public Improvements, C.

O. TALLYMAN. Commissioner of Water Works Street Lighting. FREEMAN D. MARTIN.

and Commissioner of Parks, B. F. OTHICK. The above are the first commissioners of the city of Fort Scott. The lop-sidedness Of the election was a surprise to many of the defeated candidates, for they expected to poll a large vote and to have the count extremely close.

The septic tank bonds carried in Fort Scott by about 763 majority. This report is unofficial, but it easily carried in all wards except the Fifth. In the Fifth ward 184 votes were' cast against the septic tank and 184 votes were cast to have the bonds issued. There was not much interest in the voting of septic tank bonds and many ballots were returned without a mark, C. F.

Louderback, candidate for mayor, running against Mayor Mor row, carried every ward in the city In the Second ward, in which Morrow lives, Louderback was given a major ity of 171. Louderback's total major ity over Morrow was 909. In the Fourth ward Louderback's ward, he carried it by a majority1 of 255. The voters in the Third and Fifth wards seem to have cast their votes for Louderback, despite the earnest work ing of some of the socialists around the polls. The greatest surprise of the elec tion was the race between Schafer and O.

Tallman for commissioner of streets and public improvements Tallman was given, a grand majority of 1,187. Shafer's own ward, the First, gave Tallman a majority of 20 votes. Tallman carried every ward in the city by a nice lead and was the high man among the contesting candidates In the race for commissioner of finance, Glunz and Penny ran close Penny lost in every ward, but considering the majorities of other candidates, this was a close race. Glunz carried the city by a majority of 594. Freeman Martin, candidate for com missioner of water works and street lighting defeated Penniman by a ma iority of 373.

This was the closest race among the commissioners. Pen niman carried his own ward the Fourth, by a majority of nine. The remaining wards all went for Martin A Kidney Remedy That Has Thousands Of Friends I believe Dr. Kilmer Company of Binghamton, N. manufacture one of the best medicines for the kidneys, liver and blood, called "Swamp-Root" ever produced, and I take pleasure in recommending it to others.
