we mentioned last week as having
trouble with some "roughs" near
Hutchinson, was so badly injured
by falling under the cars at Film
wood, on the 18th, that ho died on

ing his step ho fell under the car
and was badly crushed. IIc was
brought to Hutchinson from Ellin-
wood, and died the next day. lie

spected by all. He was buried by

AuDIToR.-Wo do not sec that
Web Wilder has any opposition for
State Auditor. If he has any it is
hid under n half bushel. If he has
no opposition there will be n toler-
able good show for his nomination.
And we would not be afraid to
wager the price of couple of hun
dred advance subscriptions that if
he is nominated and elected he will
not join tho Democratic party dur
ing the term of his Office. IIc will
not turn in the ranks and go to fir
ing on his own comrades. He will
not be guilty of that yilcst of all
political sins, betrayal of the party
that cntrusts him with an important
Office. We hope TO have the pleas
urc of voting for him.
