THE $4,000 SUIT.

We met Mr.. Sterry this morning, and
though he was in hurry he took time
to give us briefly the result of his trip
to New York and Boston. He went
there in the interest of the board of
county commissioners for the pur
pose of investigating and ascer-
tanning the bottom facts in relation
to the sale of the A. T. & 5. +. rail-
road stock. There had been so much talk
that the board thought best to take this
course. Mr.. Snoddy, who was sent by
the committee of seven, was already there.
The testimony, so far as taken, shows
that the county's stock was put into the
hands of Isaac Il. Burr, president of the
Wichita Branch of the A. T. & S. +. rail
road, and of the National bank of
North America. Boston, to be sold in
open market, in lots and at times
when he thought it to the best interests
of the county. Mr.. Burr was selected as
the agent by the advice of Thomas
Nickerson, president of the A. T. & S. f.
railroad, which corporation is one of the
heaviest tax payers in the county. 1t
seems the stock was sold when 1t was
deemed best-that 1t had then gone up
20 figure which surprised even the Off
GERS of the road, and they were unable
10 account for the rise in price, and it was
every day expected TO decline. The
county was considered very fortunate
and as doing a splendid thing in oh
tanning the price it did. This is thu
statement of these gentlemen. The ties
timony taken from those who sold tho
bonds which were cancelled by the coun
", shows that the price paid, with the
commissions added, amounts in the ag
gregate to just the amount reported by
the commissioners.
We suppose further investigation viii
lie made. 1t ought to he. Let the matte
he thoroughly silted until all are salts
fled and relieved from every imputatioI
of anything wrong, and if there SHOULD
be found corruption let the guilty suffe
the consequences.

A COUNTY CONVENTION.

The Republican county committee
met ON Saturday and decided to call a
convention. The call will be issued in
n day or two.
We think this action is wise. 1t has
been the custom, as n rule, for the Re
publicans of Lyon county to act mag
unanimously in county campaigns, and
not draw the party lines. There was u
disposition among many Republicans
not to have convention this fall, but
the action of the Greenback committee
puts the matter in such shape that Re-
publicans cannot hesitate as to their duty
in the premises. The Republican camp
fires are burning brightly all over the
country. The hosts are rallying, rs of
old, TO repel the onward march of the
old foe with which we have had so many
battles. That same foe is trying to do by
political strategy and control what it
failed TO do by the sword. 1t is time
for Republicans to buckle on the armor.
The Greenbackers and Democrats will,
as a rule, unite to beat the Republicans
in this county, and there is work to do.
The result of last falls campaign warns
us that there must be no delay or luke
warmness. Get ready for work.

Corn in the bottoms is good, while up.

There is yet few great bargains to be

There will be preaching here on Sun
day, September 81, by Rev. a
Lutheran minister. All are cordially in

made to organize church here.
Arrangements will be made to have

There seems to be q general impress

fact that there has not been a criminal

the others having nearly given way to
fire, and the onward march of civiIiza-
ton, until you would find poor picking
now.
/ have been waiting some time for
some one to write about us, for really we
are worth noticing in the News; if for
nothing else our sheep interests demand
it. guess we have more sheep than all
the rest of Lyon county put together.
will say so any way, and then perhaps
we will hear from some other unknown
place in the county. Over thirteen tons
of wool was sold off this creek last June,
not counting the Hesse Bros clip.
Don't know whether they would be
counted on our side of the divide or for
Plumb creek.
The Free Methodists are all at camp
meeting at Neosho Rapids.
You ought to see the hay stacks grow
around here. Five men, one boy, four
span of horses, one mower, one sulky
rake, and one go devil put up about two
hundred tons, and all up and down the
creek the stacks COUP almost like magic.
Mr.. Seely went to town to the show
with his family and it made him feel so
good he had to run horses coming home /;
consequences, his wife is very badly in
jured. Her recovery is rather doubtful.
His two daughters were slightly injured,
he himself unhurt. Why can't folks
that run horses break their own heads ?
Mr.. Frank Caldwell leaves for Tonnes
see with his family, as soon as his daugh-
ter, Miss Jane, is able to travel. She has
been quite sick. Any one wishing some
furniture Will find it for sale at his
house cheap.
The United Brethren have Just received
their new minister, Rev. Mr.. Sheiser.
Mr.. RidenOur's folks have all got bet
ter. They say Shellabarger pills cure

Our p. NJ, Mr.. J. Wells, still attends
to the office. l think Badger creek folks
ought to make him donation, for it is
hard work and poor pay. Who will

The Republiean yietory in Maine.

AUGUSTA, Maine, Sept 9.-The result
of to-day's election may be briefly sum-
med thus: We have carried a large ma
iority of the house of representatives,
and majority of the senate apparently,
though not certainly. We have given
our candidate for governor a plurality
of more than &c, 900 votes over the Green
back candidate and 40, 000 over the Demo
cratic candidate. Whether we have
given him an absolute majority over
both, will only be determined by further
returns, and possibly will require the
official count. On joint ballot in the
Legislature shall we have large major
ity, thus controlling the executive coun-
Gil, and the selection of all the state Of
ficers. The majority againt us last year
was over 1900. equivalent to 10000 ma
jority in Illinois, $4,000 in Pennsylvania,
and 100000 in New York to overcome.
This enormous majority in an oft year,
with no general election pending, was of
course difficult task, and our Republi-
cans feel they have made splendid
fight, with the most gratifying result

The Lawrence Bridge Destroyed.
LAWRENCE, Kas., Sept. 9.-The north
span, les feet in length, of the bridge
dCTOSS TIC hdllSdS I1hcT at lnlS DOlnl, as
destroyed to-day about noon. A drove
of one hundred and fifty cattle was be-
ing driven across the bridge, when by
some Encouragement they were all con-
centrated upon the north span, and it
suddenly broke near the middle, falling
into the river The south portion OF the
span drew off the pier and fell flat on the
water. This portion of the cattle were
killed outright, and twenty were wound
ed so as to be worthless. The cattle be-
longed to Young Bros, of Southern
Kansas. Old MIR. Young, their father,
was at the side of the drove, in a covered
wagon, and one of the sons was Imme-
diately behind the wagon, having nearly
crossed the bridge when the catastrophe
occurred. The north end of the opening
chung to the abutment, making a steep
decline down to the water. The cattle
on this part of the bridge, horses and
wagon and the two men were precipi-
tated to- the bottom. The young man
escaped without scratch. The old man
jumped from the wagon to the ground
on the east side, striking the rocks at the
edge af the water, and being caught, was
badly hurt by the falling upper works
of the bridge. His shoulder was broken
and some of his ribs were crushed in
Despite of his injuries, the doctors say
he may not be fatally hurt. The Young
brothers have rendered their drove OF
cattle to the bridge company, and have
notified them of claim for damage.
