ctions to Leland continuing

public expense that Leland
uld quit poking his digits in
federal pie that Burton wished

20 Leland has thrown down
f e gauntlet and wanta everything
i eight and the Vr is on. A
"ll-known politician has sura-
up the prospects for a royal
slinging contest as follows:
"This is the commencement of
1 political campaign of slander
song the republicans that will
make all former performances on
the Kansas political etage mee
side show."
To the winner wil belong the
Indian Tenitory.
Senator Burton bus not been in
the saddle long enough to show
the kind of presents he would send
this way. Leland hasfhad a say
heretofore and his donations to
tbe territory discomfort are well
known.
Whatever the result the terri-
tory is sure to sufler and it will
only be a case of degree at best.
On with the war and let us see

It was at C:.5 a. m tbat the
Frisco freight backed down on the
crowing tbat was occupied by he
KBty cars and landed on the mid-
hip section of th .car that ob-
structed it c.ur!-e. The trucks of
the Katy cr were ivrenched frm
their sockets and the I"nac u-boo-e
