There was quite an exciting time in town
Tuesday night. 81. McDermott, who lately
received a divorce from his wife, secured a
writ of habeas corpus from Judge Strang,
directing the sheriff of this county to have
the three year old child of this couple,
then in possession of the mother, before
him at Larned to-day, when he would de-
eide whether the father or mother should
have it. The warrant was served by Dep
uties Weidner and Preist, McDermott be-
ing along. When the reading was finished
he grabbed the child and broke for bug
gy in waiting, in which he and Weidner
drove rapidly ont of town. Then there
was circus. Doc. Rigg. Fred Bunker
and few others had gone down to see how
the affair would turn out, and they saw.
Mrs. McDermott Mrs. Hospelhorn and the
children were wild, and were throwing
chairs and cord wood around promiscuous-
ly. One stick caught the sheriff on the
head and arm but the other spectators
lodged the missels. TO add 10 the turmoil
Sheldon's bear and wolves, which were
near the scene, took hand and made most
terrible noises. The women came up town
in hopes of getting some kind ofh warrant to
stop the "kid-nip pers" as they called Weld
diner and McDermott: but no relief was
afforded. McDermOtt claims that the chlld's
mother is not proper person to raise it
and he wants to deliver it to his parents,
who live near Hutchinson, AMI are well
fixed.
Mrs McDernott and her sister, Mrs.
Hospelhorn, started Wednesday TO Larned,
by way of Iuka, and they propose to fight
to the bitter end for the possession OF the
child. j. b. Jenkins went up yesterday to
| represent the father of the child.
When the women went away they moved
John HOspelhorn, who is blind, and the
children, to Mr.. Hartzell's, leaving all of
the household goods in the dug-out in the
north part of town. When the town awOke
yesterday morning, the drg-out was dis
covered TO be smouldering ruiz, having
been burned during the night In it was
all the bedding and clothing of the family,
new sewing machine, cooking stove, etc.
The probability is that the fire was an acct
dent, and Sheriff Rigg thinks it was; but it
is possible some scOLndrel did the work for
pure meanness. No matter about the char
acters OF the former occupants-a person
who would burn a dugout would burn
business house, mansion, or even town.

So much has been said concerning the
Galloway poIled cattle lately that stockmen,
far and near, have, in some way, been in
dnced to give this breed trial, aud many
now think the polled animals are the COM
ing cattle. In April 1881. Evans, Hunter
q Evans bought of NJ. r. Plat, of Kansas
City, Is head of bulls, part Of them, only,
being thoroughbred; and in June they
gathered about GOO head Of their best cows.
consisting of high-grade Durham, half
breed and Texas cows and close herded
them with these bulls. Recently we saw
the calves from this cross at their ranch
near Lake City, where they are being pas
tured and can pronounce them the very
best lot of calves we have ever seen on the
range. From the very first the calves were
robust, hearty and well-formed. They are
all black. and, with few exceptions are Ell
tirely hornless, and an examination shows
that where even slow of HON is it is
grown on the skin and not to the skull.
These calves are doing we'll, so far. on Buff
falo grass and from present indications will
come ont in good shape in the spring.
'Shorthorn and Hereford bulls have been
generally used by rnchmen in this section
and it will be hard to convince them that
they are not the best for "a cross with Tex
as COWS. While the herds have been great
ly improved, there is still room for i'm
provement, and we welcome any pure strain
of stock that will improve our herds, and
shall watch the experiments of this new
breed of cattle as they increase in years.

PAYMASrER WASsoYS PUNISHMENT
A SEVERE SENTENCE IMPOSED UPON THE FALLEN
OFFICER.
TBY TELEGRAPH TO THE rRrsUNE.I


CHICAGO, June 23.-" To be discharged dishoDor-
ably from the service. to be confined at hard labor
in penitentiary for eighteen months and to have
the facts respecting his crime and its punishment
published in the newspapersof Iowa, the State from
which he was appointed to the Army" is the SEN
tence of Paymaster Wasson, who stole thousands Of
dollars of public money In order that he might pay
debts of honor" contracted at the gaming table.
1t is reported from Texas that twO-thirds of the
officers who composed the court-martal which tried
Major Wasson united in commencing him to the
clemency of the higher military authorities, whose
approval is required before the sentence can be
ried into effect and that Brgadler-General Augur,
the commander of the Department of Texas, who
reviewed the proceedings and findings of the court
MARTIAL approved them and disapproved the recon-
mendation TO mercy.
OF course the final disposition Of this case will rest
with the President or the Secretary of War. To
most persons the position taken by General Augur
will wise and it will probably be sustained by
bis superIors Major Wasson was gallant soldier,
and such he earned an enviable reputation.
He was graduate of the Military Academy and in
1876 be was promoted to his present high rank
the heads OF many other officers who were at least
as meritorious as he 1t was perhaps natural that
the members OF the jury which tried him, composed
as it was of his brother officers, majority of whom
were also West Point graduates should not only feel
an active and deep sympathy for him personally, but
should desire to shield the honor of the Military
Academy and of the Army. But recent developments
at Washington and elsewhere have shown that the
vice of poker-paying is widespread IN the Army and
that the honor of the service aud military dsc-
pine require the use OF severe measures.
