FARMER WKAY’S PLANS. | The Farmer Judge Will Not At- tend a Law School. | Kansas City Times Topeka, Kan., Nov. 25 —G. W. McKay, the Harper couity farmer, who was elected judge of the twen- ty-fourth district is in this city. | Next to Jere Simpson, Judge McKay has easily taken the lead for notorie- ty in the newspapers. A farmer who | had never been.admitted to the bar, | he was unmercifully guyed by the press of his district when the alli ance judicial convention nomixated | him and when the returns indicated | his election the metropolitan press gave him almost a national reputa- tion. Newspaper correspondents recog- | nized that they had struck a good| thing, and as a result he found him- self on his way to Ann Aarbor to attend law school, reading law on his own farm, settling disputes among his neighbors and doing a hundred other things which were unknown to himself or his neigh-| bors. When the Times correspondent asked for an interview last evening the farmer jurist made haste to ex- press his contempt for newspapers in general aud republican newspapers in particular. “The Times, you know, judge, is an independent newspaper, which treats the people’s party fairly.” sug- gested the correspondent. “Yes, I know it,” he said. “It is all right by the farmers’ alliauce in Kansas, but whas about Missouri? I don’t think any of them tell the truth.” Judge McKay was mild and sud- denly bethought himself of having heard Jere Simpson once say that | | AS IT STANDS NOW. Democratic State-.

He at once began to speak freely to the press representative of the Times and wanted some corrections made. Every republican politician in town seemed to be congregated in the Copeland lobby at the time, and all of them had their eyes on the judge. They saw tlie most inoffensive and benevolent face in southwest Kan sas—a man not more than 5 feet 5 inches in height, who would not wear his hat in a hotel lobby for fear it would offend the clerk—a man with a luxuriant growth of whis- kers and a bald spot on the back of his head. There was nothing else in his appearance that would attract attention. His clothes were those of a well-to-do farmer who was mak- ing his regular Saturday trip to town. “That story about me going to the Michigan university law school 18 a} pure fiction,” he said. “It never en-| tered my head. I don't expect to have any trouble to speak of orI wouldn't have accepted the nomina tion.” “Did you ever study law?” “Yee, but I was never admitted to | practice. I read law in Chicago and not in Pennsylvania, as the newspa pers stated. My health would not admit of me following the profession so I abandoned it eight years ago and moved to Kansas. My court convenes in January, but Judge El- lis will sit the first five days. Of course I will be there during that} time. I propose to use what com. mon sense I have in deciding ques- tions, but then people differ as to what is a common sense decision.” “Have you read any law since the election?” “No, I have been too busy attend- ing ratification meetings with Jere Simpson. There is a fellow you will hear from in congress. He has a level head and is the best posted man on economic questions in the seventh district. Debauchery and dissipation gets away with lots of our.westean congressmen, but you need not worry about Jere.” Having concluded his talk the twenty-fourth district judge said he was ready to go to bed, and he cau- tiously glided toward ihe hotel clerk. | Goethe said: “One must be some- thing in order to do something.

Topeka, Kau., Nov. 25.—Secreta- ry Mohler, whoreturned t: Osborne county. brings the stery o the capture of a couple of horse| thieves after a desperate fight with a sheriff's posse in which twenty shots were exchanged and one of the | thieves slightly wounded. The men |captured are the Shaefer boys, who day f |of Downs and are believed to members of an organized gang of | thieves who have been operating in | the southwest and | the Indian territory. | About a month ago four horses iwere stolen from a farmer in Oa-| | borne county, and the whole coun-| ‘try turned out to hunt them. The | thieves, however, made good their 'escape, and the chase was abandon jed. A week ago four more horses | were stolen from William Diamond, ja wealthy farmer. The second raid {following wo closely ou the first | thoroughly aroused the county and |a mass meeting of citizens was called jand a purse of $300 raised as a re- ward and $250 to pay the expenses of the hunt. Men were sent in every | direction, but it was three or four days before any trace could be found. A clew was obtained in wouthwest- ern part of the state, but the thieyes | managed to outwit their pursuers by traveling due south in the day time and west at night. F. D. Wilson, sheriff of Barton |eoui.ty, who was at the head of a poos’, finally encountered the men aud a running fight occurred. There were six men in the posse armed with rcpeating rifles and revolvers. After Sheriff Wilson had fired six shots from his revolver the last bul- let ginz ear of oue of the Shaef- er boys, and he threw up his hands, beli ving he was shot through the His brother also surrendered. ‘Tie Shaefer boys appear to be the most ungrateful of thieves. About tweive months agc one of them was indicted for horse stealing in south-’ be} into | | northwest | i | head western Kansas, and it was necessa- ry to raise $250 to employ an attor- ney. Will Diamond, from whom the last batch of horses was stolen, was one of four men to sign his name to a note aud secured the money. of the Shaefers was working for him at the time, and his widowed moth- ev lived on the place. Just one month before the note came due the boys rewarded him for his friend ship by stealing his horses. It is believed that the two boys belong to the gang of thieves part ta last week. Merit Wins.

The department } has ordered three companies of Ft | Missoula troops to the scene of the trouble. Advices from various points say that lively skirmishing is in progress all along the line, that the Indians have been driven back and that three or four of the reds} have been killed. The cause of the trouble is not stated. It is believed the difficulty has nothing to do with the ghost dance, but was probably an attempt of the Cheyennes to re lease by force Indian prisoners in jail at Miles City.
