P. H. Mavpin, Agent. Sheriff Daniels of Cowley county, commenting on, the tnul of W. Coffelt for the murder of Santa Fe Detective Montgomery which resulted in a bung jury, expressed, tlie opiuion that Coffelt will not be convicted of the crime.

"I have no doubt that Coffelt was couuected with the kiiiiug," said Mr. Daniels', "but we have ouly circumstantial evidence asainsr him. I believe that Bjrt Colby, who was released from jail yesterday on bocds, was also mixed up in it, bnt how much we have no testimony to prove," Changing the subject of conversation, Mr, Daniels remarked that the practice of giving light sentences in cases where the prisoner pleads guilty, is radically wrong iu his opinion. "It has a bad effect on both the prisoner and other criminals," said Mr. Daniels.

"Instead of. being a lesson against it, it rather encourages crime. I believe the court should sentence a mau equally as severely when he pleads guilty as where he stands trial and is convicted." works here in Lawton, part of the time.

Here is Mrs. John Cummins' story of the 'or Anna Dislnuau, as ioIJ to a.jurterfor the Kansas City Star, and appearing in the Star Friday: "Anna Dishman was only 12 years old when she came to work for us, and she was here only eight months when she was killed. We got her iu Arkansas City. Her father was dead and her mother was very poor. She was an un-usuully smart little girl, with lots of spirit and pride.

She was a pretty little uirl and held her head up and wouldn't let anyone impose on her. That's what let to her murder. My husband was always quarrelsome and overbearing. When I married him eighteen years ago I was only 15 years old, while he was 85. I as an orphan working for $3 a week in a hotel iu this county and be owned this farm.

He was always cruel to me. He beat me many a time. Oh, how I hate him now! He took a dislike to Anna because I liked her. I was glad to get such a smart child to help me with my and he told me to take her in the parlor and keep her there while he burned the bones I brought her in here and played some on the orgau and sang while he fixed the bones in the cook stove. I used some of Anna's' clothes for rags and the rest I burned, so you see there wasn't anything left of her." Rooms 1.

Finally, the morning of Tuesday, August 18, 1899, while we were at breakfast, and I was pouring the coffee, my husband cursed Anna as she came in from the summer kitchen. He said she slobbered in the 'dishes.

She picked up the dishpan that was sitting on a chair and went back into the summer kitchen and stood by the stove. He grabbed the broom, ran to the door, aud threw it with all his might, exactly as a spear is thrown, straight at her head. The end of the broom handle struck her just back of the temple and a little above it. It cut a deep gash and the blood flowed down over her clothing. I dressed the wound and we finished breakfast.
