Scotty had refused to rustle bail Saturday night and today showed a strong desire to be In a class by himself. "I am not amalgamated with those saloonmen," declared Scotty, who Is more of a Dutchman than a High lander, as he explained rapidly and recklessly to the court regarding his own case. "I am not a bartender at' all. I won't ask a man to go my ball for a thing like this.

Regarding the case now pending, District Attorney Phelps made the following statement this afternoon: " merely want to say that the state would not have taken these cases up without ample evidence.

Galveston. Texas, Sept. 15. After dreaming of the exact circumstances of his, own murder four days ago, John Buchtern. a wealthy rancher living near here, wrote the story In detail, describing every Incident In a letter to his cousin, James Barry. Today Buchtern was killed by a negro under circumstances exactly as described In the letter which was re ceived by Barry this morning. Buchtern dreamed that he was shot In the back by a man with a large scar across the back of his neck and whose forefinger was cut off at the first Joint. That description describes exactly Raymond Newton, a negro with whom the rancher became Involved In a trifling quarrel this morning. After his altercation with the negro Buch tern mounted his horse and had no sooner turned his back than the ne- pro pulled a gun and shot him, death being Instantaneous. Newton escaped but was later cap tured by a pose of citizens, who are now guarding him against the mfnnce of a mob which threatens hanging.

WHEAT FIELDS YIELD 6 EBlENTBOiS O A bond purchase made by a Pendle ton bank yesterday Is typical of this time of the year the period at which money from the wheat crop Is com ing In and thereby becomes available for Investment. Tho purchase was by the First National bank, which took $00,000 worth of . government twos, Panama. The bonds were pur chased at 1.02 7-8. The purchase yesterday by the First National Is a representative deal and others of a similar nature will doubtless be made In the near future as the wheat money rolls In. Although the wheat market has been very quiet during the past few weeks It Is estimated that nearly half the wheat crop of the county has been sold. However, it has by no means all been paid for yet and though yesterday's purchase by the First National Indicates money Is coming In, yet It Is doubtful If more than a million dollars has been received from wheat sales up to tho present time. If the above estimate Is correct there Is yet two million dollars or more still coming from tho 190S crop. INTOXICATED? NO! Depuiy Comptroller Denies Bank Examiner Was Drunk. Washington, Sept. 15.

A walk of 2S77 miles is the price of the education of Ix'onard and Henry Weiss, aged respectively 11 and 13 years, who with their father, Fred Weiss of Chlco, Cal., reached Pendle ton this afternoon on their way from their home to Chicago. Every foot of the way is to be t alk ed. Every night while on the trip up until the first of November, is to be spent in the open. The boys are roughing It. Bough shod and rough clad they have un dertaken a task which would appal the strongest man. If they win each receives a tuition In the Chlco, Cal.. training school and $250 In cash. The father of the boys Is determin ed" that they shall win. He wants them to have the advantage of edu cation of training. "I am only a ranch hand," he said, "but I want my boys to he fitted for a better place In the world. I want them to be trained for a better place leaving Chlco. in life. Training Is the secret of suc cess. ' if they were not trained they could not walk five miles a day. "We are walking to advertise the training school where my boys will study when they return to Chlco. As soon as we reach Chicago I will tele graph that I have, arrived and then Jump on the first train for Chlco to get my boys home and In school." The father is a great walker in.l has made several long trips to vari ous points on the coast. He believes that walking is one of the most lualthful exercises, but is not a fad dist, however. The boys In spite of their tender years, have done consid erable walking. The father and his boys left Chieo about 30 days ago. They follow the line of railroad all the way and have traveled about S00 miles, 'making from 26 to as high as 32 miles each day. They expect to reach Chicago by November 20. or In 120 davs from
