We have it from a reliable, sonree that the management of the Wichita Western, which is now built to the east line of this county, remains '-just as it was at the extension of it. Two great systems each hold much of the stock, but neither own enough "to control its extension. One wants to build to Dodge City and tho'othei on west to Trinidad.

The thought stabbed her, and like a Hash plus seized the 'rear rail of the hindmost car and 'to her, oil with the throng. But she was not satisfied. She slid alouj: 'through every coach, past baggage, express and all and, seating herself 'on the cow-catcher, planted her banner there.

John SlicnafieTd, a thrifty farmer, with his wife and sou, occupied a comfortable farm-house Jn Springfield Township, this count)', in 1863, when John Morgan made his famous raid through Ohio. The family had accumulated over 3,000 in gold and coin, and, fearing it would be Mr. Shenafield hid it, the place of burial being known only to himself and wife.

The family pros-tiered, and not needing the money, it was left undisturbed. Mrs. Shenafield died without revealing the location of the hidden treasure. Last week tiio husband died, saying nothing about it, Tho other dav the son, after a long search, found the trcas-, tire buried in the foundation of an -old building on the farm, having lain undisturbed for nearly twenty-five yearn Exchange. The project for building a bridge over the river at this point, which has been extensively agitated ot late years, seems in a way to take definite shape.

Agents of the Ford syndicate which obtained a charter for a bridge from congress five years asro. are here in consultation with represent atives Ot ie t.liesanen v-r nm East Tennessee, Virginia and Geor gia, Kansas City. Springfield and Memphis, the Bald Knob branch of "the Iron Mountain and the Pough-keepsio bridge company, with a view to arriving at some arrangement by which the Fcrd charter can be utilized. The Ford syndicate has as yet done nothing 'towards putting "its privileges to any. practical use, and the general impression here has.been 'that the charter was obtained for the purpose of selling it to somebody uiat naa tne means and the will to build the bridge.

What gave color to this idea was that when the Kansas Springfield and Memphis railroad company presented a bill to uunretvs ai uie last session praying lor a cnarter to build a bridge on its account, the measure was bitterly fought, in the House by Poindexter Dunn, of Arkansas, and other mem bers known to be friendly to the Ford interest. Through1 their "oppo sition the bill failed to nass. Thp result was a great disappointment to the" railroads having western connections to this point, and also to the commercial community here. The taxing district (municipal) authorities of Memphis had srrantc-d to the. Kansas City road all ihi prwilesres as to right of way that the company asked for, coupling the grant with the condition that all the'roads were to use the bridge on equal terms as provided in the bill offered ill congress: While workmen were encased in digging a cistern at the farm of Mr.

I). II. Talbot, iust outside the city limits of Sioux City, Iowa, on the 19th, they came across a mass of strange-looking bones at a depth of about 3 feet from the surface. Thev athered up about apatentbucketfnl before the thought occurred to them to have the discovery investicated. Mr.

Talbot, whose life is entirely devoted at present to scientific research, was notified by telephone, and yesterday went out to the farm in company with J. C. Iloskins, the representative of the Sioux City Scientilic Association. A thorough exhuma tion and caret ul examination was made. The gentleme'n had the re mains laid in their respective places nearly as 'possible, which showed that the remains were those of some kind of an animal of the reptile species.

Mr. Iloskins states that in his judgment it was a plcsiosaurus, a reptile of the cretaceous Iteriod. Thi- specimeu was about twenty feet lonr, being a very large one. lie said that during the cretaceous age the plesiosaurus was an inhabitant of this country, which was then nothing more -than a 'huge swamp. Thev lived by prey.

It is unfortunate the workmen broke the head of the remains of this animal. However, a part of the jaw was secured. This part contains the teeth, which arc about' 1 inch to inches long. Thev arc coated black, and still retain the gloss. Mr.

Iloskins says that the animal must have died while, in' a fight, as the neck-bones sIiqw that the neck was broken. The remains were found in a side hill, which, properly, would make it a depth of about feet below the surface of the earth. Messrs. Talbot and llos-kin will further investigate the find.

There was an exciting time on the Denver and Kio Grande west-bound train to-day. A Chinaman named Lee Shung locked himself in a closet thirty miles east of Grand Junction, and refused to come out. When the crew changed at Grand Junction the retiring conductor, no- i tHied the incoming conductor, John Gorlisk, of the Chinaman's presence. Thirty miles west cf Grand Junction, brakeinan Canning got on aboxand brpko jn the transom to get the Chinaman Suddenly the door opened and Lee Shung sprang out with a knife in his hand and made a lunge at the brakeman, narrowly missing ripping him up. Ganning then j-an to the next car; Shung then ran amuck, terrorizing the thirty passengers in the ear and made a pass with his knife at a woman, but missed.

Then he struck at -George Ileckbridgc, laying open his stomach. By this time all in the car were wild with terror. Gunning came in with a drawn revolver and shot the Chinaman three times, killing him almost instantly. The train arrived here this evening with the Chinaman, who is supposed to have been a maniac.
