On to Dodge.

CR. Miller arrived in Kingman
last Monday with his surveying corps
He is under instructions to run line
from Kingman to Dodge City. The
engineers are at work, and the line will
be surveyed as speedily as possible.
We understand it will require about
three months to complete the survey.
according to that calculation the road
will not push out from Kingman until
next spring or summer. 1t is the in
tention of the company to construct
the line west from Kingman intersect-
ing the main line of the Santa Fe at
Dodge City. This materially shortens
the line from St. Louis to the Pacific
coast, and will be the trunk line fol
coast travel and freight. Now, We pre-
fer being point on great trunk line
to the terminus of bob-tail When
this route is constructed. we have di.
rect communication with Colorado and
Pacific coast trade, which is better
market for all our produce than east
ward What We want is direct out
let westward. Over this line we have
it. The route will be used by the
Sante Fe and Frisco jointly. While il
might tend 10 build up town by ter
minating at this place, still when it be-
comes known that We are point on 6
trans-continental route, our improve
ments will be more substantial and per
manent, and our town can build with &
degree of certainty that is not attached
to the ED Of probabilities-Kingmar

"A herd of $50 head Of beef cattle
belonging to a. & H. v Rowe passed
town Wednesday en- route to Dodge
City for shipment
One of d. W. Van Horne & Co s
trains, in charge Of Mickey Hessian,
arrived last Saturday with $4,000
pounds Of merchandise.
Ben JacksoHarrNed Sunday with his
mule train, bringing 1880 pounds
Jackson's load was high classed freight,
for the transportation Of which he re.
ceived 1925 to $500 per hundred
pounds.
We have this fall good indicator
of approaching northers in these parts
For day or two before the polar wave
the: yellow wasps come into the houses
by the dozen. They are probably a
dispensation Of rxovidshte to meet the
scarcity Of wood
The heavy rains of the past few
weeks have delayed all of the freight
trains, several Of which are now some
days past due. The streams have been
swollen and their quicksand looscned
all the way down, while the condition of
the roads are described as fearful.
Polk Jetfries, a cowboy working
for Sam White, was found dead on the
prairie Wednesday, aboue two miles
from the Jubuckle' headquarter ranch
The last seen of him alive was several
days since, when he left the ranch to
come to Mobeetie, and the folks out
there supposed him to be in town until
Tuesday evening, when one of the boys
riding in the range came upon his horse
tied to tree. 1t was too late to make
any search that evening, but Wednes-
day morning they started out and Fay
cite Parker found the unfortunate Polk
about 200 yards from where the horse
had been tied, lying stark and stiff and
covered with slicker His hat was
about hundred yards from the body.
which was in an out-of- the way canyon.
Parker at once came into town and gave
the news, when Deputy Sheriff Shaw,
deput:-ed as coroner for the occasion,
and several of our citizens repaired to
the place. 1t was at once discovered,
on uncovering the body that the de-
ceased had been shot. The bullet had
entered just under one eye and come
out at the side of the head. The body
had evidently been thrown into the
creek bed above, near where the horse
had been tied, and washed down to the
place where found, having boon caught
and held by the rocks. Letters he
had been bringing in to mail for differ
cnt parties were found scattered along
down the stream There was piece
of muslin fastened to the lapel Of the
vest of the murdered man with fish
hook, which bore the words in ink
Cow Thief The body was badly
decomposed, showing that the murder
had been committed some days. This
was also shown by the sign the tied
horse had made and his very feeble
candition when found. Two unknown
men, who had stayed ever night at the
ranch, left there in company with
Jcffries the morning he started to town
the last time he was seen alive
Every effort will be made to discover
the perpetrators of this hcinous deed.
If any man may kill his enemy and pin
Cow Thief to his body to cover up
the cause-may be judge, jury and ex-
ecutioner, we are in the midst of bad
state of affairs.

: The members of the NJ. f. Church
and the friends Of the pastor, Rev. 4
r. George, gave pound party at the
pastor residence on Friday night last.
The contribution amounted to 500 i'm
money and goods. Dir. George is doing
good work III the cause he represents,
and the pay is meagre enough, though
the people are charitable and kind and
give according to their means.

The forms Of the Globe were pied on
the press, on Sunday night last, after
the edition had been worked off, The
type has not been rendered useless, as
has been stated, but can be put in shape
again at little expense. This is dia-
bolical act. We denounce it in I'M
measured terms, and we care not by
whom committed, or for what purpose
The proprietor of the Globe ought to
use the utmost means to ferret out the
perpetrator of the villiany. No pun
ishment is too severe for him. If the
act was committed for political effect it
had the desired purpose. IF to crafty
revenge, it was hellish affair. If for
a malicious object the perpetrator can
hope for no reward. We trust that an eff
fort will be made to lay the blame where
it belongs. The editor of the TINES
feels that a similar wrong might be
done him by some person who might
feel aggricved at the course of this
paper. AS matter of justice we hope
the citizens will not let this matter rest
until the affair has been probed to the
bottom. The laws of this country allow
the freedom of the press. If an editor
commits blunders or wilfully ISLANDERS
people, there is a redress. If he pur-
sues the wrong policy the people apply
the remedy and withhold support.

4 million and half of the new two

the demand. 1t has been said of US

of work in that line had been STAYED of

The tearing up of the Globe forms
made connection on Monday. But

painful silence? K is time for the dia-

some one, and the finger of scorn point
at the scoundrel.

Geo. C. Min, the Chicago preacher
of the Unity church in that city, who
was renowned for his hereto doctrines,
and who has developed Shakespeare
an actor, played in Hamlet, in this
Thursday night last Mr.. Min is a
fine dramatic performer and the Dodge
City audience was well pleased with
his rendition Of the celebrated charac-
ter. An amusing circumstance is con-
nected with the exhibition Of the Min
dramatic company in this city. A Kan
sas City paper contained a statement
that, should the Min company perform
in Dodge City, the ghost in the play
would be perforated by some unrcgen-
Grated cowboy. The opinion was ex-
pressed that cowboys were unused to
Shakespearean sentiments. 1t was OBJ
served that the ghost did not leave the
folds of the stage curtains at the side
but this incident was not thought of at
the time. After the performance the
manager related the newspaper item,
and then the laugh came in. The COM
pany were not apprised Of the charac-
ter of the audience until after the per
Torrance. Had the audience known
the fear of the company, some fun
might have been purposely played upon
the 'tenderfoot' dramatic company
We make this statement, partly to show
that Dodge retains some of her former
reputation, though at no time in her
history has Dodge been SO depraved as
the Kansas City paper would make it
appear.

possesses force sufficient to bend and

fession, he has made himself master
in his special line. His father, Prof,

"Moneyless Man" In II style sufficient.
