impossible to bring the staple to market

o'clock AT that time he, together with a
large number of other workmen. were

hands and conveyed to Dr. Duuns office
where that gentleman dressed his wound
from which the blood was flowing copi-

home in Sennett addition. The wound.
though not a fatal one, will lay him up TO r

DR.. p. L, McKinnie desires the ARGUS
to announce that he mas completed arrange
ments whereby all the losers at his hands
at the last election will, by attending the
Catholic fair tonight, be the recipients of
tirst-class supper He says there is a
small regiment of the same, !" and that he
intends to treat them in right royal good
style" He also says that each one will
have a waiting maid all to himself" Upon
these conditions George Walker has con
sented to go. To add to this suspicious
occasion l would suggest that the Doctor
wear his new election hat There are
some who think the Doctor in league with
the society referred to above, in order to
draw large attendance, as the small regi
ment of his will undoubtedly make. As to
this am unable to say. The DR.. has "ep-

barring his iron gray mustache and hair,
he scarcely looks year older.

Cheyenne which has population of about
5000, casts $500 votes On Tues
day the excitement was intense
but the entire democratic ticket
was elected excepting, perhaps
sheriff. The price of votes ruled all the
way from one dollar to five and as the
democrats had the most money they easily
got away with the persimmons, with the
possible exception noted. Voters were
bought and sold openly and it is said that
the spectacle would have made even the
republican bosses of Rock Island county
hang their heads in either shame or envy.
To illustrate the way they do things ON
election day in Cheyenne it need only be
said that half dozen or dozen neigh
