might be done; further than to state posi-
lively that the road would at once be ex-
tended southwest from Wichita that con-
tractors and laborers are already engaged
and are only awaiting the decision of the
higher authorities. before the work is CON-
menced.
Our people were encouraged by even
this information, for they recognize the
fact that Nedicine Lodge is directly on the
line that must be taken II the grazing dis
trict Is entered. This county being free
FROM the herd law, will be OF great adyant-
age to it, and the nlilroad people will un-
dOubtedly prefer to come into such q coun-

The Fever Cases.

Reports from the eastern part Of the
county, where the Texas fever has been
spreading such devastation are not very
encouraging. Cattle are still dying. but
few new cases arc reported, rs all Of the
cattle have been removed from the ground
where the Boyd herd were grazing. II is
hoped now that there will be- few cases, rs
the infected herd is quarantined.
Last week when we went to press the
second committee appointed to examine the
Boyd cattle had not reported; bur since
then they have made their report, to the If.
feet that tie Boyd herd were liable to Gem
munic,tc the fever. They killed diseas-
eel animal and were satisfied IL had genu-
inc case of the fever.
The case will be tried next Tuesday b..
fore Justice Hess.

Railroad Rumblin0a

When you want to STIR mp the people of
an inland town, where they are anxious to
have a railroad, IL Is only necessary for a
fec mysterious looking men to drive In
behind sleek teams hitched to comfortable
conveyanees, loaded with all kinds Of tray-
cling ~traps", aud then you can step to one
side and watch results. Last Monday even
ing such an outfit drove into Medicine
Lodge, and Il didn't require five minutes
for large number OF our prominent citi-
zens to '-catch on" to the fact that the
strangers were all rAilroaa presidents, d.
rectors, engineers and contractors. A
glance at the register Of the hotel furnished
the remaining proof, II any were necessary,
that the visitors were real, live railroad
men, for Il showed something less than a
page OF names, all appearing as connected
with the st. Louis and Fort Scott railroad.
Inquiry revealed the fact that the dIstin-
gnished party were the president, general
manager, chief engineer, etc, OF the road
ihai they were looking through the country

ing Rotations. Those who attend will be-
permitted to use any books that they may
have. TuitiOn,is free, but the law requires
registration fee of one dollar. Several in

When the cattle commenced to lie so
fast over Ia the eastern part OF the county
last week Messrs. Garrison, B,als and HUFF
faker wisely concluded to drive their cattle
to some range where there was no danger
Of Infection, aud selecteda point i'm the
northeastern part of the county. When a
suitable unoccupied range had been found
they concluded TO locate for u while,at least
until all danger was over on their range.
They had no sooner done 80 than DIR.
Henry wisner, who had a fenced range ND
there appeared on the scene and claimed
that the range was bis, or rather that he
Claimed it, and the cattle must 90. The
gentlemen attempted to reason In the mat
ter but to no purpose, and that afternoon
accompanied by his own hands and two
noighbors, DIR. wisner again appeared and
drove the cattle from the range. This, of
course, made the owners Of the cattle mad
- they drove the cattle back, and warned
DIR. Wisner not to disturb them. Mr..
Garrison then went before Justice Paddock,
madc complaint against DIR. wisner and
two Of the parties vino assisted him, aud
on Monday last the sheriff obtained service
on the gentlemen. lie appeared here
Wednesday when his hearing was fixed for
next Thursday. Mr.. Ellis appears for the
prosecution and Mr.. Sample for the de
fence.
ThisappearS from what We have learned.
to be an aggravated case, aud the result of
the prosecution will b. looked for with in
tcrcst.
The owners Of the cattle claim that DIR.
W!sner has no cattle OH the range they
proposed to occupy temporarily, and never
has had, that Inc claimed To represent a
company, bat had no more right to the
range than they. They feel that they have
been. unnecessarily tormentcd in tho mat
Ter, and that they will see II thv law will
not give them some redress for their gricY-
auccs.
