AUTO IS USED TO PULL A TRAIN
KANSAS OASOLING.
The only gasolene railroad In America Is in o, v-ratlon In Pottawatomie
county, Kansas. It Is the Westmoreland Intetnrban Railway Company, the
successor to the Kansas, Southern and Gulf, one of those north ui'd south rail
road dreams of tlie early eighties. The Kansas Charter Board recently gave a
charter to the new gasolene railroad, which cannot operate its line except by
motor. The motive power of the road is now a second hand motor car that
hauls small freight cars and passengers.

No 8 THE DYING CHIEF
BY EIiMIRA FREEMAN
Elmira Freeman, an English poetess of great vigor of expression, hail a I
romantic and checked career. Married, in early lit'e, to Richard Barton, thev
lived unhappily together and were soon divorced. Married, subsequently, to
Charles Weston, a country gentleman, she deserted him and established herself
in France.
This is one of the many poems that have had their origin from incidents '
connected with battles between the Castilians and the Saracens for the posses |
sion of the Iberian peninsula. It was from the romances and heroisms of these |
contests, extending over centuries, that Washington Irving drew the inspiration j
to which we are indebted for several of his ablest works tracing the rise and j
fall of the Mohammedan power in Spain.
/
The stars look'd down on the battle plain,
Where night-winds were deeply sighing.
And with shatter'd lance near his war steed slain.
Lay a youthful chieftain dying.
He had folded round his gallant breast
The banner, once o'er him streaming.
For a noble shroud, as he sunk to rest
On the couch that knows no dreaming.
Proudly he lay on his broken shield,
By the rushing Guadalquiver,
While, dark with the blood of his last red field,
■Swept on the majestic river.
There were hands which came to bind his wound,
There were eyes o'er the warrior weeping,
But he raised his head from the dewy ground,
Where the land's high hearts were sleeping!
And "Away!" he cried—"your aid is* vain,
My soul may not brook recalling,—
I have seen the stately flower of Spain
Like the autumn vine leaves falling!
"I have seen the Moorish banners wave
O'er the halls where my youth was cherish'd;
I have drawn a sword that could not sav^;
I have stood where my king hath perish'd;
Leave me to die with the free and brave,
On the banks of my own bright river!
Ye can give me naught but a warrior's grave,
By the chainless Guadalquiver!"

FARMER SHOOTS TEX GIRLS
Mery Party Coming to Surprise Bride
Kepelled by Shotgun
Lexington, Kv., *\>b. B.—William
IMclntosh, a wealthy farmer, was ar
rested in Jjee county, yesterday, charged
with shooting and, aeriousb' wounding
j ten young women. A daughter of Mc
j Intosii had married and she and her
i husband were visiting at Mulntosh's
! rtome. Late at nighft a crowd of girl
! friends of the bride determined to pay
her a surprise visit a4id take her some
preserots they had made for her. As the
young women ap;roached the Molntosh
home the father, awakened from a
sound sleep, thought the sounds of
laughter came from a crowd of sere
naders. .M-clntoah threw open a window
and demanded that the noise cease, but
the young women pressed on, lautfiuiw
and talking.
Melntoeh then opened fire on the
crowd with a shotgun. He fired three
shots, ami wounded young women fell
in every direction. "Ten of them re
et\ived serious wounds and otliers had
their clothing pierced with shot. None
of t.hfl merrymakers will die, but the
wounds are serious. •
As soon as Mc hi tosh realized what
he nad done he summoned help and as
sisted the injured girls into the house.
Feeling is running high against Mc
intosh. who was taken to jail, and is
held there pending the outcome of the
hurts to the girls.

I cause work was slack, Francis D. "Baer,
a grave digger, 46 years olil, committed
J suicide yesterday while his* wife and
daughter were in church, lie pulled the
ho»e from a gas heater and stuck the
end in his mouth with the jet turued
on full force. There was such a quan
tity of gas in the house that tbe wom
en were temporarily overpowered when
they returned. Baer was a native of
Beruville and a brother-iu-law of Ijott
Keiff, of Oley, one of the Democratic
leaders'of Berks, who was delegate from
that county to the National convention
at Baltimore. He was a prominent
nwinber of the Baer Family- Association,
/
headed by the late <>corgo F. Baer.
About th# same timo < -harles Lehr, a
blacksmith, 28 years old, mad* two
unsuccessful attempts at suicide. Whou
Ijehr tried to hang himself in a room in
the Hotel Lehigh the rope broke and
the noise of his fall brought the land
lord. He said a girl in Bath had jilted
him and life was unendurable. On
leaving the hotel • Lehr went to the
smithy where he was employed. His
employer was told, and he broke in the
door and found Liehr hanging from a
rafter. He cut the rope in timo to save
Lehr's life.
