On Thursday, at the trial of a jointkeeper named Shook at Abilene, Judge Humphrey1 laid down a new rule in the course of his charge to the jury as follows: "The jury is not bound by the mere statement of the witucss that the article was beer or whisky. The mere fact that a beverage or medicine contained whisky as one of its ingredients would not of itself be sufficient to warrant a conviction. The test is: Did lit contain enough whisky so that it was substantially whisky, or did it would run between $20,000 and that the office had been literally cleaned of the day's receipts. eft of Summer Underwear goes for a trifling svm.

That great marshal death, from whom bo man escapes, cried halt, and Zip surrendered. For six hours before his death he was unconscious and the end of a stormy life was as peaceful as the dreamless sleep of an infant. For several days he has been sinking and he clung to life with tenacity.

He fought death with the same determination that he fought the law officers who have been pursuing him for months. He fought it bravely, neither calling for priest nor parson to square him before the eternal judge. He had visions of the future, as indicated by his intermittent ravings, but what they were no one could tell. As long as he retained consciousness the events of his life evidently passed in review before him, for as he communed with himself, as he frequently did, he would speak to his faithful pony, address some of his partners, give orders and demands to some imaginary express messengers and occasionally swear and yell as if he was participating in some hand to hand encounter with a deputy marshal. It was thought that Zip Wyatt would unfold the history and criminal career of himself and his gang before his spirit would depart, but death sealed his lips forever, and the inside facts of his career are as an unwritten book.

He only made one confession, and that was the innocence of Shoemaker, now serving life imprisonment for the killing of Townsend in Kingfisher county several months ago. "Shoemaker," he said, "is innocent of the killing of Townsend and his sentence is an unjust one." That is the legacy he left in the line of con fessiD.

One Drowned; the Other Kicked to Death, Gutiiuie, Sept, 9, Jacob Hass, a farmer residing east of the city, met a shocking death at 7 o'clock last night. He hud been trading in this city and was returning home on horseback, A mile south of the city he ran into a horse and buggy driven by a man named Jenkins, thrown from his horse and Instantly killed.

Jenkins was badly hurt. Bob Irwin was with Hass when the accident occurred. Hass was a sober, industrious farmer and leaves a family. Coroner Barker will bold an inquest today. county and recognized him as the mon is alive.

That he or his pal was in Wichita after his supposed death is quite-likely. If alive he is getting to be an old man, and his wife has never got the insurance. So far as the Fraker episode is concerned there is the detective ingenuity, the sensational discovery and capture and the disclosure of the swindle, but such frauds ought to be impossible. The insurance companies are to blame themselves for making such tragedies as Fraker's, or as the Winner and the Nutt crime possible. There is something wrong when an individual with an income of $1,800 a year is able to place $56,000 of insurance, or thereabouts, with some of the best com panies in the country.

Oq the face slayer of the husband and father. ties, based on a territory about as large as California, still unsettled, at a long distance from the sea coast, Inhabited by savages, and with unknown difficulties in the way of Its development, have reached in the London markets 500 million dollars. In 1890 the entire valuation of California after forty-six years of settlement was 1,100 million dollars. California is larger in area than this African gold region. It is more fertile and more accessible.

It has a sea coast and a population of 1,208,000. It is now producing half as much gold as this African region, while in the past it lias produced more than any sober estimate of the future African product, yet the paper profit of these boom companies in the past year and a half is nearly half as large as the total valuation of California. Zip Wyatt's death removes forever one of the most noted baudits and robbers produced in the land Of the Fair God. He was not a bandit of th4 first order, inasmuch as he lacked the refinement and gentility characteristic of that class, but he was a daring spirit. His methods were crude, Out they Were executed vigorously and it required more than usual force to of it, the placing of such an amount of Insurance by a man in Fraker's cir cumstanceB is fraudulent, and if the crush him.

THE FRAKER FRAUD. The Fraker fraud is the talk of the country. As a sensation the Kansas City doctor's swindle Is only second to the overshadowing crimes of Holmes and Durrant. In most of the life Insurance swindling Incidents some cadavor of some body of a real victim is made to represent that of the insured. But Fraker, who is represented as being bi-sexual, drowns himself in the depths of the muddy Missouri in the presence of four disinterested witnesses, who all swear to the fact and circumstances of his The money was paid, qyef and, it was supposed by the public that the stomachs of the cattish and snapping turtles of the Missouri could account lor the rest.
