SAFE LoCKs-The ease with which
some safe locks have recently been
punched in" and the safes opened by
burglars, has excited general interest
in the quality of safe locks. We had a
pleasant call few DAYS ago from NJ. ].
French, representing Mosler. Bahman &
Co, of Cincinnati. Mr. French is an ex-
pert, and showed us by very clear and
practical demonstrations that the Sar-
gent lock used by Mosler, Bahman& Co.
cannot be punched out. AS our safe is
of that make, the exhibit of what kind
of lock it has was of much interest, and
we are fully satisfied that the lock can
not be successfully operated upon by
sledge hammers and punches. All of
the lock that could be punched out of
place will not effect the position of the
bolts in,their sockets, and burglar who
wants to get into q Mosler, Bahman s.
Co. safe must provide himself with drills
and powder, and take his time and make
a good deal of noise, or else his labors
will not avail him anything. We make
this statement in order that our business
men who have this make of safes can
feel that their safe locks are reliable.

EDITOR NEws:-The social party Civ
en- at the residence of Perry Edwards,
one mile north of Wells ford, on Friday
evening, Aug. %, was undoubtedly the
most brilliant and enjoyable affair ofthe
season. The evening was beautiful and
the attendance large, and everything was
conducted a la mode. Credit is due Mr..
and Mrs Edwards and Miss Mary How
ell for the lively and congenial manner
in which they entertained their guests.
The young people of our district met
at the school house on Saturday even
ing. the 23d inst, and organised a dra-
niatic society which will be known las
the ''NeOsho Dramatic Club" The fol-
lowing are the names of the officers
elected: c. E. Gibson, manager; C. P.
HOlingswOrth, business manager; II.
HollingswOrth, secretary, and H. Wells,
treasurer. We predict success for this
club, as it is composed of young folks of
able talent. We understand they pro-
pose playing ''Ten Nights in a Bar
ROOM" in a few weeks.

ALAKGE CLAIM.

The Old County Commissioners Sued
for Selling the A. T. 4 s. r. Stock
Serious Charges IL There Is any Evil
denees to Sustain Them.
A few days ago Geo. w. friedrich,
clerk of Lyon county court, received from
attorney general Willard Davis, an or
der to issue and have summons served
on d. s. Gilmore, l. A. Tayler, and L.
A. Wood, to answer on or before Sept.
10. 1879, a petition signed by Jas. D.
SnOddy and Scott & Lynn, plaintiffs at
torneys, the charges of having, while act
ing as county commissioners in 1868,
combined together to defraud Lyon
county in the matter of the sale of the A,
T. s. s. F. stock and the purchase of
county bonds with the proceeds of such
sale.
The petition, in brief charges that hav.
ing so conspired together, the said par
ties, on the 18th of July, 1878, took into
their possession the 100000 worth OF
A. T. s. S. +. stock then owned by the
county, sold it for 100000 in money,
and reported to have sold it for only
Sic, 431.8S, and pocketed the difference
$50, 56S, IL. 1t also charges that the
said stock was then worth and could
have been and was sold for 500, 1000 go.
1t charges that the county bonds could
then have been and were purchased for
20 cents on the dollar, but that the COM
missiOners reported to have paid 70
cents on the dollar, thereby pocketing a
difference of $12,O90. 3rd, it charges
that they held the bonds four months
after they ought to have Cancelled them,
and pOcketed the interest which accrued
on them during said four months. $780,
$40. This makes total alleged fraud
of $116,21S.12, which, with interest
thereon at Z per cent. from August 10Th,
1878, is the amount the said commits
sioners are sued for.
The petition and charges, we under
stand, were made by some members OF
the committee appointed at public
meeting last April, to look after public
matters here, and which committee con-
sists of c. V. Eskridge. r. r. McCandliss,
erls and p. B. Maxson. The parties who
make the complaint having failed to pro-
duce any evidence to substantiate their
charges, county attorney Sedgwick re-
fused to begin the suit, hence the servi-
ces of Scott & Lynn and Mr.. Snoddy
were engaged, and attorney general Da-
Wis was persuaded to order Il suit in the
name of the present board of county
commissioners. The suit is not expect
ed to be called for hearing before the
March term of court.
We know OF nothing upon which these
charges of fraud are based. If there has
been any fraud, it ought to be probed and
punished. If there has not been a fraud,
then the suit is wicked and malignant,
and for the most selfish personal pnr-
poses. There Is serious talk of its with.
drawal. We report the matter as public
duty, and will keep our readers inform
ell as to any developments worth men,
tiOnlng.

We had hoped to be able to chroni-

not known by your correspondent, the

Everybody is busy making hay around
here, and such hay we never saw before.
1t looks good enough for any kind of

horses this winter ought to be fined.

tainly Is one of the greatest snake-charm-
ers Of America. He has in a wooden
box some 70 or 80 serpents, the most of
them having been caught by him in this
state, several in this neighborhood. His
manner of managing his pets is simply
wonderful, several of them being poison
ous. He has also written a very in
teresting pamphlet on American snakes
and how to charm them.
We had our school meeting on the
14th. Mr.. David Allen was elected
school district clerk, which We think a
good choice. Our school directors have
not secured a teacher yet, and have, we
