ARGOS, IND. April Goth, 1874
EDITOR REPUBLICAN In an article in
the Plymouth Democrat, of april 9th, re
ferring to communication in the Re-
PUBLICAN, it SAYS with all due defer
ence to the Patrons of Green Walnut, we
most respectfully suggest that they seem
to be attempting 10 dictate in matter
that hardly comes witwin their jurisdic-
ton. and manifest an inclination to attend
to business that the people of the county
have intrusted to other agents" The
editor claims that the bridge over Yellow
River is liable to fall down at any time
Now l have it from good reliable source
that the bridge can be repaired, at a cost
of about $500 so that it will stand for
years. The gentleman seems to be quite
indignant that Green Walnut Grange
should dictate to the county commission
ers, when Plymouth wants favor. AS
though they We're not part of the tax
payers of Marshall county. If there were
not few men about Plymouth who die
tate for ou~ commissioners, we should be
quite content to leave the matter with
them. without our dictation. The gen.
tleman says very little money has been
asked or secured from the county for
bridge purposes. in Centre township" L,
has been the custom, heretofore, in the
rural districts, when new bridge was
wanted, or an old one to be repaired, fol
the citizens interested, to circulate sub
scription and get donations in money,
material and labor, and If the subscrip.
ti0ns were liberal, the county commission.
erss~oeid appropriate asnlall sum from
the county funds. But when Centre
township wants AN iron bridge they want
the commissioners to pay for it ont oi
the county funds, and that too. when
our county is already in debt for the
round sum of $4,000. Twenty thousand
comes due this summer, and $4,000 al
some future time--all at ten per cent. in.
terest. The new bridge will cost $4,000
more-the old one could be repaired foI
$300-only one third of the interest for
one year-so that it will last till our
county gets out of debt. We are credibly
informed that there are number of other
bridges needing repair this season, that
have as strong claims as Plymouth has
We have no doubt but Plymouth will
soon be asking fo- an iron fence around
the court house, that will cost $4,000
more. JAMES LOWRY.

A whisky Battle.
The 4 troubles Experienced by an In

Establishment I'm y Temperance

Messrs. Mullaney, Hays & Co, whole
sale liquor dealers of this city, determined
to establish young man in the saloon
business in Frankfort, Clinton county,
and accordingly dispatched him to that
place few days since 70 secure rooms
and make all the necessary arrangements.
Frankfort is an intensely anti whisky
community, and when it was discovered
what was coming, the population arose to
a man and declared it should not be.
The whisky was shipped, however, and
on its arrival at the depot Captain Thom
as Madden, agent of the firm, who was
on the ground to receive it, was advised
to reship his merchandise. Persisting in
his intention of locating in that bailiwiek.
Madden finally got dIay and succeeded
in getting the Objectionable barrels in
front of the place of business chosen, but
the enraged populace there took forcible
possession of and carried the liquor back
to the depot, resolutely refusing to allow
it to be removed. Captain Madden was
warned TO leave town on penalty of being
tarred and feathered, on his refusal to do
so, but before executing retreat he gar
nered IN the names of the men who ap-
peared 10 be the leaders, among whom
were David Allen, Henry Lehring, M. G..
and Thomas j. Smith, Fletcher Meredith
and Dunn. The Captain would not ship
the goods back, and the freight agent
refused to allow it to be placed on the
cars without his authority On ascer-
tanning the fate of their first shipment,
Mullaney, Hayes & Co. yesterday morn
ing consigned second load to the same
place, and purpose il stituting proceedings
against the gentlemen mentioned and
others, for heavy damages, for unlawfully
interfering with legitimate business.
The best lawyers Will be employed to
prosecute the suit. and as the gentleman
are nearly all quite wealthy, the case will
be all the more interesting. The excite
ment is intense, and further developments
Of an interesting character are looked for.

the Girtys-for there were three brothers
of them, all operating with the Western
Indians-were at the bottom of them.

Paw nee Rock.

In western annals, certain places, unim-
portant in themselves. have gained large
Importance and wide celebrity from their
associations. Such a place was Pawnee
Rock. Though only a landmark of the
plains, cluster of reddish -colored rocks
in bluff on the north side of the Arkan.
sas, it Was a famous place so lately as
three or four years ago. All frontiersmen
and Indians knew it well. 1t had wit.
messed many council. many treaty and
swap" many gathering Of the clans
while yet the encroachments of the white
man were far to the eastward. 1t occu-
pied the same necessary place in Indian
and frontier affairs which country town
or commercial centre might in civiliza-
ton, and finally became endowed with a
semi sacredness in savage eyes. AS a
place where momentous negotiations
were carried on, and solemn compacts
made, this red landmark on the western
plains is entitled to more consideration
than PENIS Oak, and probably has a
stranger history, almost forgotten.
1t is strange to reflect that the history
of Pawnee Rock is now merged in the
stranger history of the won 1erful advance
of civilization Only few days since
the quarter section upon which it stands
was turned into farm. Not by from
tiersman who knows anything ofits his
history, but, as though the extremes of
birth and education should meet upon the
scene of savage camps and councils, by a
Swedish gentleman named Eric Norburg,
one of the old Bishop Hill colony, of
Illinois, who purchased it from the At
Gibson, Topeka and Santa Fe R. r. Com
pany. Barton county, in which it is, is
one Of the richest in western Kansas.
People are gathering around it upon all
sides, and soon it will likely be the near
est neighbor to church or a school
house. --
People who are fond of associations,
and who have some regard for that strange
history of race which is rapidly passing
away without record, except such as
this, will be glad to reflect that the ia.
nous landmark is not tree, or mound,
liable to waste and decay, but a rock,
whose very ponderous uselessness may
perpetuate tradition in the midst Of the
wheat-felds and vineyards which are des-
tined soon to come.
