A wild re,as Boy Ki,led.

H A correspondent of the Kansas City
4 Times, writing from Great Bend, Kan
sas, which is described AS place
marked oy dissipation, RIGHTEOUSNESS,
crime, and daily and nightly rows. He
says:
The gamblers and the prostitutes,
like the eagles, have scented the car
cass and they have gathered here. "A
dance house is in full blast, and two
other are expected to go into operation
next week. The varieties are all
ready, but the stars han't ''riv." They
are expected on the next train, and
then the fun will begin.
AS a. introduction to the festivities
that are about to open in Great Bend,
little preliminary row was enacted in
Hub Polley's saloon. A young Texas
cow boy, known this season by the
Lame of Frank Williams, but last
year as Ben. Craddock, having visited
the dance house and made some boasts
in regard to his prowess in the presence
of gushing demi monde, proceeded
to distinguish himself by attempting
TO xii the deputy city marshal, w. w
Winstead. After imbibing freely he
became disagreeably noisy and Hour
ished his revolver in a most threaten
ing manner. A bystander quietly
Slipped out and informed the police,
Jim Gainsford and Winstead, that said
cowboy was threatening to shoot some
body. Gainsford and Winstead imme-
diately repaired TO the scene Of the dis
tnrbance. As they entered the sa-
loon, the desperado's eyes caught the
policeman's star. With whoop he
swung out his revolver aud cried,
"What do you give me; stand back"
and without waiting for an answer
fired at the approaching polimen.
His fire was returned instantaneously
toy both the officers, and their shots
were simultaneous. The Texan fell
instantly; ball having taken effect
right between the eyes. The fatal shot
was no more than made before the
brave officers covered the remining
desperadoes, comrades Of he one al
ready down. They relieved them of
their shooting irons" in less time than
It takes to write 1t. The coroner, DIR.
J. ID. Balm, was summoned immedi-
ately, and the poor victim that lay
bleeding and cold in death was re-
moved to an adjoining room, and his
sorrowing companions went sorrowing
back to their camps, murmuriug ven
geance upon the officers of the lay.

case was tried by Judge Smith the

composed entirely Of lawyers. A
party had gotten judgment in the
Mayors court for thirty dollars,
against a man with whom he had
somemisuhderstanding regarding a
wagon which he had seized and Sc
creted until the same should be
paid for, but, not being satisfied
with the Judgment, he took the case
before Judge Smith, and there got Il
smaller one. The defendant claim.
ed that the wagon was worth fifty
cents day to him, and that if he
had not been deprived of its use he
could have paid for it according to
his agreement. The jury, all law
yers, decided that he was entitled to
fifty cents a day for his wagon, and
rendered verdict of but one dollar
in favor of the plaintiff. lie had
better been satisfied with the thir-
ty dollar Judgment.

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS WATER.

This water, 80 AIMED for it's medical viz

Coleman, been placed al the command Of all
who may require its curative properties. 1t
was left for Texan, Gail Borden, to con-
dense two gallons of milk to the compass OF
one pint, and yet retain all its pure and
nutrative properties; so again has Texan
reduced two gallons of White sulphur
Springs water to sixteen ounces, without the
slightest loss of its medical virtues.
There are thousands of persons suffering
from the following diseases: Dizziness, de-
preston of spirits, irritability of temper,
vertigo, headache, palpitation of the heart,
gastric arrangement, disorders OF the liver
and kidneys, bleeding from the rectum,
piles, dysmenorrhea, amenOrrhea, menorr-
hagia, lucorrhea, foul breath, apoplexy, cpl
lepsy, paralysis, hysteria, melancholy and
insanity, and many other diseases, traceable
TO habitually sluggish bowels, and yet re-
main ignorant of the cause, and have sought
in vain for relief. Not unfrequently the
com Iaints which originate in constipation
take an independent existence, and continue
though the cause may cease. From all these
