FINE SToCK.-Mr. Ogden, father
of Philo Ogden, of Cedar Point,
has just brought from Illinois u
fine lot of thoroughbred stock,
consisting of jacks and bulls, a
part of which, we believe, he will
sell or trade for land.-Chase

Agent Miles has decided to To-
cate the Kickapoos near the
mouth of Bitter creek, about
twenty miles southwest of this
place. The country around the
junction of Bitter creek and
Shawaskaska river is beautiful
probably the best in the Indian

timber, water and game.-Arkan-

Died, on Diamond creek, Octo-
Der 90, 1878, Mrs. Maria X. Heg-
wer, aged seventy-two years and
five days. She was a devoted
member of the Lutheran church.
When first taken sick she was at
home with no one with her but
her small boy, who was so sound
asleep she could not awaken him.
She then went to her sons house,
about one hundred yards off,
where she died inside of fifteen
minutes after entering the house.

Some fellow-a penalty tor
keeping bad company, lost or had
his pocket picked of $l25 last Sat
urday night across the river. Ear
ly Sunday morning he was hunt
ing an officer of the law and labor
ing under great excitement. If
he is a sensible man the loss will
prove a lucky one in the end

He will doubtless go east and
dilate on the degeneracy of the
times, and the bad morals of
Wichita, in the papers.
Row.-They had another dance
house row in Wichita-or rather
over the river in Delano-last
week, in which powder and balls
seem to have figured largely. The
Eagle says:
"The dance houses on the west
side of the river were again the
scene of terrible and fearful on
set on Monday night last. We
have heard the versions of the
principal actors, as also that of
outsiders and the officers, with lit
tie satisfaction. Suffice it to say
that the proprietors of the two
dance houses in West Wichita,
which stand in close proximity,
"Rowdy Joe" and "Red," both be-
ing mad from the effects of dis
titled poison, and armed with re-
volvers and shot guns, waltzed in
to q deadly melee. Rowdy Joe
was shot in the back of the neck
with n pistol ball. The wound is
not dangerous. Rod was wounded
in the arm and hip with buck shot
from n shot gun. The chances
are that lie will lose the lower part
of his arm. A poor dance girl,
Annie Franklin, sick at the time,
received a shot in the abdomen,
which the doctors think must
prove fatal. Bill Anderson, who
through mistake killed a man last
spring, was shot in the head, the
ball passing just back of the eyes.
Was alive at last accounts. Row
dy Joe gave himself up, and is
now out on $4,000 bail. No other
arrests have been made, we believe"
