COWBOY RAID WAS STOPPED BY PAYNE Punchers Fight Railroaders Who Turned Out Lights, Used Cues. WOULD AVENGE "INSULT" LEADER, WAVING GUN AND ' 8HOUTING DEFIANCE, GIVEN 8ERMON BY PAYNE, WHICH TURNED THE PARTY BACK. ' Kansas City, Mo., July 10. A prominent politician of today, who was a cowboy in Southern Kansas along in the early eighties, recalled a story the other night concerning Wiley Payne. "Payne, you remember," he said, was killed, I think, in 1884 at Medicine Lodge An attempt was made to rob his bank, and Payne was killed resisting the outlaws. "This story I have in mind occurred in Harper about 1880. The town was one of the cattle centers and not infrequently a big band of cow punchers stopped there, either going or coming from their drives. One night a lot of cowboys were in a Harper saloon. They got into a fuss with a bunch of railroaders, and the punchers got the worst of the deal. The cowboys would have won in the fight, for there were more of them and they were all handy with their guns, but the railroaders put out the lights at a certain signal, did some execution and havoc with billiard cues and made their escape through a back door exit about which the cowboys did not know. "Naturally the punchers were sore and they decided that the next time they came to Harper they would avenge the insult at least they thought it - an insult. So in due time a big gang of the punchers were back at Harper. They had with them a cook, who went by the name of 'Rabbit,' or something like that. This cook's home was in Harper and his folks lived there. He suspected when the punchers camped just outside of Harper and seemed to be concocting some sort of a deal that they were planning raid on the town. At the first opportunity he came Into Harper and apprised some of the people of his suspicions. "The town promptly went to work Open All the Year Round Mt.

fl On All Ml mi to organize itself for the fray. They knew the cowboy character and his proclivity for being quick and easy with tho trigger. Every shooting iron in town was pressed into service. The hardware stores gave up their stock within an hour, and men were located along the streets in second story windows armed with sawed off shotguns loaded with slugs. "Sure enough, in due time the cowboys came riding up the main street at top speed, yelling and howling. The marshal wasn't in sight. At the head of the punchers rode a big heap, leader of the crowd. In one hand he held a big gun and in the other a brand new pocket book. "'There is $75 in this pocketbook,' he yelled, 'Seventy-five good American dollars, I say; and it belongs to the man who has the nerve to try to arrest me.' "He kept shouting this defl as he tore through the muddy streets at the head of his gang. For quite a while no one made a move. The Harper people were waiting until the cowboys should start something. "Suddenly a man stepped up to the ring leader as he waved his pocketbook and gun and shouted his message of battle, and said, 'Now, let me tell you something. These people of Harper have treated us all right. They have given us good yards for our cattle, have given us good accommodations and have played the game on the dead leve all the way through with the cowmen. If we get into a fight with the toughs and get the worst of it, we haven't any license to lay it onto the people of Harper. Now, I want you fellows, if you are going to work for me any longer to turn right bang around and get back on the trail and about your business. Just get along and tend to your own affairs, and let these people alone "The cowboys were brought up short They looked blank for a few moments and then -docile and tamed, turned their ponies about and rode out cf town and out on the trail. "The man who stopped them was Wiley Payne. He was a cowman and most of the cowboys who were trying to raid Harper were his men. He was the boss." : bb'jected to Bathing. They were two elderly men enjoying the play from the pit, and the griefs of the heroine were too much for one of them, who furtively mopped his eye. "Why, yen' re blabbering." jeered his friend.

In this way Mansieur Hjsnkel gets them to the United States without paying any duty. His silent partner, Mr. Loeb, who is collector of the port, will vouch for the excellence of all the goods and takes the blame for misfits. It would be unkind to say that these articles are smuggled, as indeed they are, and those who buy of M. Henkel should .not mention the subject. His stock is now in six trunks. One of the trunks contains sixty-seven shirt waists once owned by some person unknowa who also had some of the finest princess gowns, to say nothing of dressing sacques, hand made and unmade, and Persian garniture.

A SEBIOOSMISTAKE Immigration Officers in New York Detained a French Noblewoman. HELD AT ELLIS ISLAND New York, July 10. The immigration officials at Ellis Island, New York recntly made a serious mistake in detaining the Marchesa de Raymonde, who arrived on the Greek steamship, Themistocles. The fact that some of her trunks happened to bear the name of Madeline de Spainoy appeared to arouse a suspicion and she was sent to the detention station. Soon after her arrival she was able to get word to the Marquis, who called to see her daily, and made strenuous efforts to have her released. Representative Bennett of New York investigated her detention and ascrtained that the Marquis de Raymonde holds a patent of nobility of that rank in France, those he is a British subject having been naturalized while serving in the army of ocupation in Egypt, in which he held the rank of major. The nobleman has a passport from the British authorities in Cairo, Egypt, which it is said, established that he and the Marchesa were what they claimed to be. Sees Mother Grow Young. "It would be hard to overstate the wonderful change in my mother since she began to use Electric Bitters," writes Mrs. W. L. Gilpatrick of Danforth, Me. "Although past 70 she seems really to be growing young again. She suffered untold misery from dyspepsia for 20 years. At last she could neither eat, drink nor sleep. Doctors gave her up and all remedies failed till Electric Bitters worked such wonders for her health." They invigorate all vital organs, cure Liver and Kidney troubles, induce sleep, impart strength and appetite. Only 50c at A. G. Luken & Co s. Quaint Church.
