THE KANSAS TROUBLES. •tato Troop* ltcach tha Arena or t!i« Ut Tragedy.

AUKW.ON, Kan., Jan. 7. —At ?-45 Wednesday Adjt. Qcn. Roberts reached here with seventy-five soldiers under the immediate command of Col. Kickseeker, of Sterling. He brought four days' rations for his company and made arrangements for more supplies to come by rail. The intention of Gen. Roberts is to assist the duly authorized authorities in the execution of the law. lie Is not here, he says, to take anybody's part on any sfde.

At .ftinola word was received that the Woodsdale people had taken possession of the courthouse at Spring-' field, and that Judge ltutkin was at Arkalon waiting1 for reinforcements to help him open court. At Mead it wjjs' found that Hodkin had asked that town for help, chiefly in the way of arms. It will be remembered that his first telegram to the governor was not. for troops, but for arms. Judge Botkin and his followers were awaiting the arrival of the train, all armed, with Winchesters Judge ltutkin carried also a big sixshooter in his cartridge belt and many others were similarly armed.

Hotkin's first speech to Adjt. Gen. Roberts is that lie wanted arms. He would rather have fifty armerl and mounted deputies, he said, than all the militiamen in Kansas. Iiotkin wired the governor again to send 100 stands of arms. lie also wants the troop. kept here three weeks and the edunty placed under martial law. Gen. Roberts has telegraphed the governor for instructions on this point.

Gov. Humphrey sent a dispatch to Judge Iiotkin Wednesday night in which he says: "If the civil authorities are unable to serve warrants for the arrrest of parties properly charged with the killing of Dunn, Gen. Roberts will aid them. The military mustat all times be held subordinate to the civil authority." The governor also sent a dispatch to Gen. Roberts in which he declared that the state would not place any arms in the hands of Itotkin's gang of deputy sheriffs If the guns were furnished Iiotkin would arm his partisans and begin a war of extermination.

Just before the ballot, a telegram from Gov.-elect McKinley was read, saying: "I have been advised that my name may be presented. Promptiy withdraw it." Upon this authority the chairman withdrew Mr. McKinley's name, but this action did not prevent Mr. Welsh from subsequently vtoting for his candidate.

7.—Word

eaine

late Wednesday night that five members of the Sims gang, two of them women, were lynched Tuesday near Womack Hill, this state. Very little is known of the horrible afTair, the scene of the slaughter beinir remote from telegraph and railroad lines.

Captured by a Moh.

From the fragmentary dispatches which have reached here it appears that Neal Sims, a brother of Hob, who recently suffered at the hands of a mob, Laura and Heatrice, two sisters of Bob, and two men belonging to the gang were on their way from Womack Hill to Leak, Miss., tiie rendezvous of the gang. When about half way to their destination they were met by a party of citizens who had started out to hunt Neal down, he being wanted for murder. The Sims party endeavored to escape, but all were quickly overhauled.

Hanged and Shot.

Neal showed fight and emptied his revolver at the posse. The pursuers then closed in on him and he was disarmed. In spite of this he continued to fight the posse and this angered the citizens. In the midst of a furious struggle one of the posse angrily asked: "What's the matter with settling the murderer's business right here?" The suggestion was eagerly adopted by the regulator's equally incensed companions and in a minute Neal Sims was dangling to a tree. The regulators, it is said, fired a volley into the squirming body of tiie murderer as it hung in midair.

The Women Fight.

As they were about to ride away one of the women threw a stone which struck one of the lynchers on the back of the. head. The posse was already roused to bloodshed, and this act made them more furious. The l?ader rode luck uml warned the women and inen as they valued their lives not to do anything that might call down summary vengeance on themselves. His advice was not heeded, the dare-devil women picking up rocks and hu.-iing them at all the regulators indiscriminately, at the same time abusing the inen in most offensive style.

The Femalen l.jnrlied.

The lynchers, already ripe to continue their work, submitted to this but a short time. Then they held a brief conference and determined that !ie country would be well rid of the whole Sims gang now before thein. Tiie reports which have come here declare that a rush was then made at tiie .two men and two women, and that in spite of entreaties from one or two of the regulators all were strurg up to the oak tree which was already decorated with the body of Neal Sims. The lynchers then dispersed.

Til* Mor.v llctirvpfl.

Verification of this horrible story is impossible now, but those who nou the section where the terrible tragedy is said to have occurred, and the intense feeling which existed there against the Sims gang, do not hesitate to avow their belief that the story is true.

BLAINE TAKEN ILL

WHS

causcd in the department of

Surgeon General Browne, of the navy, whose oflicc is in the same building, was summoned and was promptly in attendance. Another physician from the war department was also at hand and in a few minute.s, under their joint efforts, Mr. lilainc was made to feel comparatively comfortable. His daughter. Miss llattic, was informed of his condition and was soon at his side. The alarm was great at first but subsided nliout noon, when the secretary was reported as resting much easier anil as being entirely out of danger. The nature of his illness is not known at present, but it is said to lie due altogether to temporary stomachic derangement The secretary was removed to his home in a carriage. AI midnight lie was reported to be much improved, and it is expected that he will be able to be out in a dav or two.
