THE LEAVEXWOKTH TIMES: rAJDAY MORKTNTG, DECEMBER 4, 1896. A TOUGH PRISONER. CITY NEWS. BIG MURDER TRIAL HOHDAF. BEAT HIS WIFE WITH A GUN.

EVERY SHOPPER IH LEAVENWORTH IaS LOST MONEY i LAMBORN CASE TO COME UP BEFORE JUDGE MYERS. THE COUNTY ATTORNEY FILES CHARLES AND" ANNIE. LAMBORN AND THOMAS DAVENPORTALL CHARGED WITH DELIBERATE MURDER PLENTY OF LAWYERS IN THE CASE AND A HUNDRED WITNESSES. The Lamborn murder case is the first the docket for the December term of the district court and it will probably be called up for trial on the opening day, Monday. Great interest is already being manifested in the trial and it is likely to prove sensational.

County Attorney C. P. Rutherford, on behalf of the state, filed the information 0 yesterday against the three defendants. y.j The information is in two counts, and j-J the first one against all three of the defendants says part: "The state of Kansas now here gives he court information that in the coun- FORGER "KID" BROWN TAKEN FROM HERE TO CITY. Kid" jBrown; 'k; young who connnea in tne county jan.ior months, was released at this place yesterday and he is now behind the bars in Kansas City, with Albright prospects of landing in the Jeftfersou City penitentiary before longVSThis young crook came to Leavenwortr and immediately started forging andpther illegal work.

He plead guilty in? a justice's court and was sentenced 'the county jail. He tried to break out of jail several times and at first would not obey any of the rules. He was locked up in a solitary cell for some time and denied the privilege of the yards on account of "his bad disposition. He knew that the Kansas City authorities wanted him for forgery and were going to come after him, and he made many boasts that he would not serve his time out, but he did so. Brown had a good looking "woman hanging around here and she tried by every means in her power to get him released from jail.

This woman enlisted the aid of a couple of local tinhorn gamblers and sports and they tried to work several dodges. Sheriff Rothenberger kept Brown, well in hand and was too smooth for all the schemes that were attempted in his behalf. When the officers from Kansas City came for Brown yesterday the gamblers secured an attorney and tried to get him released. The officer had requisition papers and Brown had to go along. to prevent his making any attempt to escape he was handcuffed and his feet were shackled together.

One of the dodges he tried while he was in jail here was to let on that he had consumption. He would have been pardoned had the sheriff not headed off the movement. OUT OF MISERY NOW. A STRANGER COMMITS SUICIDE NEAR OAK MILLS. On Tuesday Stephen Handy, recently from St.

Louis, committed suicide on one of Drake Spencer's farms in Kick-apooo township. Handy shot himself with an old Springfield rifle, which had been bored out and converted into a shot, gun. He tied a stout cord about the trigs-er, and, seating himself in a chair, placed ihe muzzle of the weapon over his hearr, and discharged it by pressing downward on the cord with one of his feet. The gun was loaded with No. 3 shot, and the charge tore an ugly wound in his left chest, calming the inward storm of despondency, and from all appearances dispatching life instantly.

Handy was a man of strong physique and apparently in the best of health. He was 38 years of age and was formerly steward of a Mississippi river steam-boatrbut from all appearances had of late been a weary and discontented wanderer. J. W. Campbell, who lives alone in a house on the Spencer farm, met Handy first in Leavenworth two weeks ago, and took him home to cook his and keep him company.

Campbell no ticed nothing suspicious the man's actions, and recalls no remarks such as are usually uttered by a suicide, unless a complaint that he did not know what was to become of him this winter, can be construed as such. Campbell went out to husk corn Tuesday afternoon and returning at 5 p. found his cimpanion cold in death upon the floor. An empty shot eun and a note which lay beside the body told the story. The note was as follows: "My name is Stephen D.

Handy. My wife did live at 1503 Spruce street, St. Louis. My brother lives at 710 Ridge street, Alton, 111. Kindly let them know of my death.

Bury me any place at all. LifeT" has not" been a success with me, and I take this means of getting out of my misery and my trouble Respectfully, Stephen D. Handy, 3 p. Tuesday, December 1." WOODMEN OF THE WORLD. Last night Lincoln Camp, No.

WILLIAM HOUGHLAND FILES A SUIT AND MAKES UGLY CHARGES AGAINST HER HUSBAND CLAIMS SHE WAS MADE SICK FROM ILL TREATMENT AND THE DEFENDANT GETS DRUNK FROM THREE TO FIVE TIMES A WEEK. Mrs.

Elnora H. Houghland filed a suit in the district court yesterday afternoon against William Houghland, for. a divorce. She states that they were married in the month September, 1S92, and that ever since that time she has conducted herself towards her husband as a faithful, affectionate and obedient wife. It is alleged that the disregarded the marital duties which he owed the plaintiff, although an" able-bodied man and capable of supporting his family if he desired to do so." has utterly failed and refused to supply the plaintiff and their children with the necessaries of life, food, clothing, and shelter, during the two years last past, and that but for the charity of the plaintiff's relatives she and the children would have suffered for the necessaries of life.

For a second cause of action she states that the defendant has been guilty of extreme cruelty that during the whole of their married life, and particularly during the two years, he has frequently abused her, cursed her, and applied vile names and epithets to her, all without cause or provocation on her part. She further states that the defendant assaulted and beat her with a gun and would have inflicted great injury upon her had not her screams attracted the attention of passers-by; that he has frequently assaulted and menaced her with hi fists, and that by reason of his brutal treatment she became sick and wa? confined to her bed the latter part of November; that while she was confined to her bed, he did not come near her nor make any inquiries as to her condition, or in anywise contribute to her care during her illness, and for these reasons she cannot live with him without detriment to her health and comfort. As a third ground for a divorce she alleges that the defendant has been guilty of habitual drunkenness in that, repeatedly, he would be drunk for days at a time, and during the last year he would be drunk on an average from three to five times a week, and he has spent the money that should have gone to provide his family with proper clothing, in dissipating and drinking. She alleges that the fruits of marriage are children, names and ages are, Edna May, aged three; and Irving, aged two years, and that the defendant is neither a fit nor proper person to have the care or custody of these children. She prays for an absolute divorce and the care custody and education of their children.

RODERICK'S VIEWS. AGAINST MORE BOND ISSUES AND FAVORS A NEW TARIFF BILL. Congressman Case Broderick of this district left home Tuesday over the Rock Island for Washington to attend the next session of Congress. Mr. Broderick says that it is his opinion the session, which will begin next week, will be characterized by ork on the part of every one of the members.

He believes that but little time will be spent in experiments of any kind. As to the Dingley bill and its prospects of passage Mr. Broderick says it is not the measure best calculated to improve present conditions. "It was," said Mr. Broderick, "intended as only a temporary measure and it is my opinion that it will not be passed." As to tariff legislation Mr.

Broderick says that he is confident a special session of Congress will be held or the purpose of delivering means whereby the revenues will equal the expenditures of the government. "There's no use talking we must stop the issuance of bonds," exclaimed Mr. Broderick. "And," he continued, "the people are opposed to bonds in time of peace and it is my opinion this is the correct view of the matter. "I believe that when the special session convenes a measure will be introduced revising some of the tariff schedules, but I do not believe there is any disposition on the part of the members of Congress to engage in any extended movement with reference to the tariff.

A schedule must be devised whereby the revenues will be increased. This is the most' important matter to Republicans and we must attend to it proper ly. "One thing which I wish to impress upon applicants for postoffices and federal appointments," said Mr. Broderick, "is the fact that no applications or recommendations will be considered by the members of the Kansas Congressmen and Senator Baker, except in such cases as vacancies occur, until after the inauguration of the. Republican administration March 4.

"This policy has been agreed upon and will be carried out to the very letter." The members will spend the. time of the coming session in close attention to their work and will not consider the appointments of officeholders under the new administration until it is time to do so." fe. sj i DID YOU EVER.
