NEW ENTERPRISE.
Prospects of a Cheese Factory at
High Prairie.

From infor mtiioa .,ined Yesterday we
draw the inferenc. that the farmers n Hlsh
Prairie and vicinity will so"n have Az OPP
portunity to put their surplus m'ik where |"
will do them C ,nsideraSle good. Mr. U. j..
Farnsvorth, Of thst place, was in the city
Yesterday for the purpose Of interesting par
ties in the erection OF cheese factory TO con-
sumo the milk OF about three hundred cows.
The gentleman Is al.o in correspondence
with parties in Oaio and New York who
have under consideration the project oil COM
ing to Kansas and establishing large dany
business.
We hope that something may come Of the
matter, for we desire 10 ace the farming
community prosperous mp the fullest extent
possible, and We deem the butter and cheese
business one OF the most profitable under
iakings that any rural community can en-.
gage in. There is no, much capital Ill
vested, and the business can be kept entirely
in the hands Of the farmers themselves, and
-ub.ervient to their interests at all times.
any support that this urnal can give to
objects of the above nature will be at the dis
posal of our farmer friend, and We earnestly
desire 10 see them pu, their shoulders 10 the
wheel and help the project forward TO
epeedy fnlfillment A little money, enter
prise and enthusiasm will bring the cheese
factory.

MURDER IN JUNCTION CITY.
1t Grew Out of a Quarrel BE.
tween Children at School.

rom the junction lily 'h.oh
At half past three o'clotk, Thursday after
loon, our town WAS startled 10y word that
coIored man had been shot. Repairing to
the spot, on Fifth street, just E,st OF Boilers
lumber yard, we found the murdered man IN
the agonies Of death.
From what We can learn, it grew out of a
quarrel between the children Of Doc Overbee
and a sister of Hilliard Morrow. Thursday
afternoon, Morrow went TO the house OF
0yerbee, and engaged in an alteration with
the wife of Oyerbee, and another woman.
I, is said that Morrow had pistol in his
possessiou. at this time. Oser,ee went ont
and demonstrated with Morrow on the Ian
puape he was using, and The latter remarked
he was bound TO have revenge. OVERRIDE
then went into the house to get his pistol,
remarking that if revenge WIS what he
wanted, he could have it. His wife, how
eyer. persuaded him not TO take his pistol.
He then went out again. anu told Morrow to
get off his premises, and he began TO back
away into TIE street, OSerbee following him
IN, threatening TO whip him if he did not
leave. When about in the middle OF the
street. Morrow told Overbee not to come any
farther or he would shoot him. This warn
ing was di-regarded, and the threat was car
ried out, Oyerbee being shot in the middle OF
the breast, a little higher up than the heart.
They then clinched, Overbee throwing Nor
row. and holding him until he became weak
from loss Of blood. Morrow then lOosed
himself from Oyerbee's grasp. and surrender
ed himself, claiming that he fired the shot IN
self-defense.
The greatest indignation exists among the
colored population, but no violence Is TO be
apprehended.
