a. III. Johnson, by lightning, at Ammon,
on the 3rd of July. cannon" is probab-
ably misprint and should read Cimarron,
as he was known to have been in that vi
cinity recently. Mr.. Johnson-ccmmon-
ly called "Gus.'' by his personal friends
was well and favorably known in this
county. 1t was here that he commenced
the cattle business, and on this range laid
the foundation of his prosperity. From
very small beginning he steadily worked
his way upward until he managed larger
number of cattle perhaps than any other
man in the United States. He commenced
business in this county about years ago
with cash capital of $500 and was a
partner of our townsman d. A. Greaver
At the time of his death his annual income
exceeded sixty thousand dollars. He was a
sldllful and bold operator and had his life
been spared would have stepped to the front
ranks of wealthy men. He was a favorite
among the cattle men and his loss will be
keenly felt on the range. AS citizen he
was generally esteemed. Mr.. johnson was
unmarried. He has brother in Brazil,
his fsthar and OF her members of the fami-
~ are living in Muscatine, Iowa. He was Al
years old.

Hon. Ross BURNS. = This gentleman
died at Topeka last week, after lingering
illness. His demise created no surprise
among those who knew him best. n Sc
we're wound received during the Price raid,
together with over-work, terminated ca.
reer of usefulness at a comparatively early
age. How well he was appreciated at To-
peka, where he lived many years. is attest
ed by the spontaneous burst of sorrow that
his death has ELECTED. At his old home in
Ohio many who knew him quarter of a
century ago, will hear of his death with
sorrowful hearts. Mr.. Burns was purely
self made man. He achieved his
position by sheer application, and in the
face of obstacles that would have over
whelmed most men, he steadily worked
his way to an enviable position as a citizen
and lawyer. "Honest as Ross Burns -
was a compliment that any one appreciat-
ed. The writer Of this article was his pu-
pill nearly forty years ago, and has been
honored with his friendship during the

The 4th was duly celebrated ut this place.
The weather was cool and pleasant, the
evening before having put quietus upon
the dust that had been SO terribly annoy
ing for several days previous. The attend
ance was very large, the crowd orderly
and bent on fully enjoying themselves.
The music furnished by the Kingman
band, was excellent. The declaration"
was read by Tom. McNeal, and the read
ing was decided success. 1t was distinct
ly heard by the entire crowd-and Thom-
as made reputation as an elocutionist.
The addresses by Hon. Geo. d. Orner and
4. w. Payne were brief. in excellent taste.
well delivered and well received. In the
matter of the basket dinner, the supply
was equal to the demand: and if any one
left the grounds hungry, it was because he
was overlooked in the crowd. The repu-
tation of Barbour county people for hospi-
iality, was sustained. At night, the young
people-and old ones, too-''tripped the
light fantastic toe" to their entire satisfac-
ton. 1t was noted that there was not
single instance of drunkenness or disorder
during the entire day or night. The city
was profusely ecorated with bunting, and
the small boy zealously performed his
duty-the fulisade of fire crackers being
continuous and uninterrupted The coun-
try is safe, and "Our flag is still there"
