Wichita, Kan., Jan. 2.—Senator In

manded of the Senator to influence Gov
ernor Humphrey to appoint Ids brother,
J. C. Bentley, a member of the police
guard, removing E. T. Allen,-.chairman
of the-oounty Republican central com
mittee. , Bentley says he will under no
circumstances vote for Ingalls in the
event the change is not made.
'Allen and liis friends ■ practically con
trol George L. Douglass, aRei>ublican
• member of the lower house, and they
have caused him to take the stand that
in the event Senator Ingalls takes the
stand demanded by Bentley lie (Douglass)
w ill not support- Ingalls. Ingalls in this
manner forced tlffi appointment of his
brother in-law, Moore, as assistant post
master. Moore is a repulsive nonenity,
and this was almost. enough to cause
Douglass’ friends'to force him away from

Only a few of his trusted leaders are

Every legislative district in the state
has befcn canvassed, and every Republi

of the legislature has been subjected to
the most urgent appeals in Ingalls’s in
terest. Tlie canvassers have traveled
from place to place, have sal up late at
night with the members and have ex
hausted their resources iu trying to se
cure votes.
' The Farmers’ Alliance have also estab
lished headquarters in this citv, and tlie
real of its representatives is reported to
be boundless. It is claimed by oue side
that several AUianqe'ueu have been
brought over to Ingalls, and by the
other side that three or four Republicans
will vote against him.
The main trouble with the Alliance
members lias been their Lick of an anti-
Ingalls candidate, around whom all the
forces of the organization would rally.
But within the past few days something
that looks like a boom has sprung up in

Special by News Telegram Association.
Franklin, Tknn., Dec. 30.—The en
tire population is eagerly discussing a
most sensational crime which has just
come to light. It occurred near the
headwaters of South Harpeth River, in
in that section of Williamson county
km wu as “The Barrens.” It is a remote
neighborhood, given up mostly to
lumbering.intererts, and news from its.
-ecluded camps and small farms (trav
els slowly. Eighteen months ago
Willi tm Mangum, a well-to-do
larmeT of that section, married Ella
Johnson, aged thirteen, a remarkably
pretty girl from Cheatham, an adjoin
ing ami still more remote county. Man-
gnuf took his wife to his father’s home,
where everything passed iu the most
agteeable manner- until about six
months ago, when the cloud came. 1;
was a repetition of tbe old story. The
girlish bride was carried away w ith the
well played Advances of a smooth vil
lain, who in turn Was enraptured by the
pretty young wife.
Tlie home destroyer in the case was
a neighbor of Mangum. named Sin-
dnr. He was the husband of a faitn-
ful wife and tlie father of two pretty
and popular young daughters, but even
this Oi<l not prevent him from his base
nature to get the best of him.
He made frequent visits to Man gum’s
home, and his intimacy.with the for
iiict’s wife became the gossip of the
neighborhood. Many of tlie stories
which became afloat reached Mangum’s
ears, but he at Wist was inclined to dis
credit any gos3ip concerning his -wife’s
unfaithfulness. The scandal, however,
became so general that tbe mortified
husband determined *o investigate the
matter for butter or worse.
He arranged a trip to Nashville with
{vimliir, and upon their returning home
very late lie invited' liis suspected com
panion to spend tbe night with him.
Sindur, accepted and after supper all re
tired. During tlie latter part of tlie night
Mangum was waked by the movements
of his better half. He feigned a heavy
sleep and soon discovered his wife and
Sindur in a compromising position.
'1 he guilty pair, seeing they were de
tected, made their escape into the dark
ness before the enraged husband could
reach fihem.
This was ihe last Mangum ever saw ol
liis unfaithful wife, as she and Mndur
disappeared. The latter, however, re
turned home in a few days and resumed
his customary duties. Mangum hear
ing of his reappearing hjiitefi him tip,
and demanded what he had done with
his wife. Upon receiving an iusoieui
reply Mangum opened fire on-_£ijndur,
and after thinking he had fatally
wounded his adversary lied from the
country, and is now supposed to be in
the Far West.
The community was not to be robbed
of such a degraded person by death, as
Sindur reeevered from his wounds and
immediately made preparations to abdi
cate. He opened negotiations with a
party of lumbermen who were going to
South America, and upon making sat
isfactory arrangements made a sacrifice
of all liis belongings, and last week bid
a final farewell to the neighborhood in
which he.had been as a# thorn in tlie
flesh, leaving his wife in destitute cir
cumstances Since Sindur left numer
ous rumors have sprung up concerning
the wliq^eabouts of Mangum’s wife.
Only a short time ago some weather
beaten shreds of herdress and her bon
net and shoes were found in the woods,
which led many to believe that the un
fortunate girl had either perished or
had been killed by some member of
Sindur’s family, as the latter were very
bitter against the person who had so
charmed the heartless husband and
fattier. An additional fact that makes
the latter rumor plausible is that some
one of Sindur’s family one night shot a
colored cow that was partially conceal
ed by a bush, thiuking it was Mrs. Man
go in endeavoring to attract the atten
tion of Sindur.

tails of a revolution which occurred in

Pierolas Boulanger, of P- ru, lias
been quietly at work for sometime
among the lower classes, endeavoring to
create a revolution, which would place
him in the position of dictator.
On the afternoon of December 8, sev
eral of Pierola’s chosen followers ob
tained admissiou to Fort Santa Cutelina
with about eighty of their inen. A pre-
ai ranged signal was given &nd* the in
surrectionists suddenly took possession
of the fort.
The government troops were called
out, and for two hours a fierce fight was
waged, which ended in the defeat of the
revolutiiiii-its.
The Peruvian consul said yesterday
that there was no fear ef any further
outbreak.
On the day following the affair, he
said the people flocked to the place and
assured President Bermudez of their
loyalty to the government.
The correspouder.rifcf W. Tt Grace &

The above are without question the most iamous novels that were ever written. For a
quarter of a century they have been celebrated in every nook aud corner of the civilized

the usual high cost of the books preventing people in moderate circumstances from enjoying
this luxury. But now, owing to tho use of modern improved printing, folding and stitching
machinery, the extremely tow price of jrhite paper, and tlie great competition iu tlie book

became noted throughout the “Dark
and Bloody Around” lor the number of
people be has killed, has become con
verted and is now an exhorter, taking
the pulpit and several meetings in the
mountain districts.
Jdhnson first became noted for the
killing of the Hoskins brothers, whom
Johnson claims he did not kill, without
sufficient provocation by the Hoskins.,
who knocked out one of Johnson’s eyes.
Johnson lay in wait for revenge, and
one day while the Hoskins and their
sister were riding along the road in a
wagon, he opened fire and killed all
three. Besides these be has probably
killed a dtzen men.
we extend our sincere, sympathies
