THE STABBING AT THESUCCOR.
Foreman Filkins Rushes Into Print
With a Card Which He Afterward
Admits to BE False.

Admits to Be False.
In the TIMES of last Wednesday
there appeared an account of the
stabbing of John G.. Mackenzie, of
this city, by Ralph Brown, relative
of W. w. Filkins. foreman of the
Succor mine. Mr.. Filkins thereupon
procured the insertion of the follow
ing card in the Virginia Chronicle of
last Friday:
wish to say that the account of
the cutting of John G.. Mackenzie by
Ralph Brown, with penknife, which
occurred at the works last Saturday,
was correct as published in the Even
ing Chronicle Of last Monday.
l wish also to say that the account
of the affair given by the LYON
COUNTY TINES on Wednesday last is
grossly incorrect. Aside from the
simple fact of the cutting, the entire
account is a mass of falsehoods.
w. w. FILKINs,
Foreman Succor Mine.
The account given by the TIMES
was obtained from Mr.. Mackenzie,
who is well known throughout the
county as thoroughly reliable man.
Since the publication of Mr.. Filkins's
card, Mr.. Mackenzie spoke to him
on the subject, when he (Fikins) adj
mitted that he was not present at the
cutting.
Mr.. Mackenzie wishes it known
that he fully iDdorses the account OF
the affair as it originally appeared in
the TIMES, and refers Mr.. Filkins, OF
and other doubling Thomas, to any
of the witnesses.
There can be no doubt that Brown
was the aggressor, that the cutting
was premeditated, and that he had
murdcrous intentions. just before
Mr.. Mackenzie reached the mine
Brown sharpened his jack-knife on
the grindstone, and exclaimed: en-
kill the - of q on sight "
After the cutting he walked down
Main street and told three or -four
reputable citizens that his only regret
was that he had not killed Mr.
Mackenzicl
The editor of the TIMES has no in
tention of prosecuting this affair
but, if Mr. Filkins is anxious to have
the facts known, he can be accommo-
dated through the agency of the
witness box.

The Catholic Church Festival.

The ladies OF the Catholic Church
in this city return thanks to the
TINES, and to all the ladies and gen.
tlemen who so kindly and literally
assisted, either by their contributions
or their presence, in making the fes-
tival of last Thursday evening as
successful as it was. The sum real
lied was $251. AS the church was
only indebted to the amount of $245,
it may now be considered out of
debt,

Egyptian corn makes excellent -four and
fine bread. We have tried sample of the
-four from this grain ground at the Dodge
City Mills, and We must confess that We like
the bread. The -four is much finer than the
ordinary corn meal and the bread sweeier;
1t bakes readily, and We believe the bread 10
be more wholesome. The -four is darker
than corn meal, but there is no unpleasant
tas.e abou. it. As Egyptian corn is likely to
become an important product 10 this part OF
the State, it is we'll to know all the uses We
can make Of it. II it is good for man and
beast it will supply cheap article of food.
We believe the use OF Egyptian corn meal
will soon become popular in the household
and form part Of our diet. 1t yields i'm.
mensely and grows in either dry or We. sea-
cons, and is therefore = staple plan, for this
region. The Dodge City Mills have made
-four Of this grain for number Of farmers,
and our curiosity led US to test it; which We
hsse done with great deal Of satisfaction.
