A large stream known as the Prairie Dog,
which has its source away out in Kansas,
runs through the southern portion of the
county and enters the Republican river OPP
p.oslte Republican City. The stream has an
abundance Of bright clear water and it,
banks are heavily wooded. Taken all in
all it is one of the finest portions of this
western country. Nearly all the land along
its banks have been "homesteaded" mostls
by wide-awake hardy settlers.
About four weeks ago. there appeared in
a settlement on the Prairie Dog, which lies
just within the borders of Kansas, q Young
man by the name of Cooper, who took mn
his residence with a "homestcader." and
told him that he was from the Black Hills
He forthwith made love to the homestead
er's fair young 16 year old daughter, and in
the course of four weeks they were engaged
to be married. Now it happened that about
the 10Th of the present month, the old folks
went away from home to stay all night, and
q young man who resides in the neighbour
hood came in and spent a short time with
Miss Susie. While he was there the af]

The men indicted for participation in the
Chisholm massacre of Kemper county Mis-
souri,, are to be tried for their crime next
March. The horrors of that affair are fresh
enough in the minds of the people to induce
the hope that the murderers will receive
their due, but it is hoping against hope to
expect that kemper county would give them
justice. There are not enough honest men
