He was a successful man and good cit-

for self destruction except the prompt

had been feared, and close lwatch kept !;
but on the fatal evening he slipped from
his bed. and fastened 70 the pond. HIS
flight was soon known, and search made:
but not until next day were his slippers
/ found on the bank OF the stream.-hav-
in been carefully put aside t. serve a.
a sign to irields - that hi body might
be recovered. All suicides seem anN-

christian burial. This was 20 noticeable

The two divisions Of the county
roundup worked ther strays south Of
town Monday and again divided, Capt.
Elsea taking the north side Of the Med
icine river, and Capt. Kelly the south
side including the Little Mule creek
country. The gather i'm the eastern
part Of the county amounted to about
1000 head. Cattle looked remarkably
well, but the absence Of the usual num-
her Of calves was remarked by many,
while the crop Of dry cows was unusu-
ally large. Such a number ofgood saddle
horse was never seen before at Barber
county roundup. AL hands seemed to
be well mounted and willing to work.
The general disposition to gather cattle
home this season was perceivable as
there was at the least estimate 200 horse
men present. The two outfits will meet
again near Sun City In the western part
Of the county. 1t is generally estimat-
ell that It win take II sdays to work this
county and as long in Comanche.

HOW rs THIst

a few weeks since we published an
item about party from Sumner coIm-
ty going to what used to be Clark coun-
ty, now consolidated with Ford, for the
purpose of settling that section and
laying out town. Our neighbor, the
Cresset, made all sorts of fun of the col
Onists and got its foot in it. The head
colOnist was Mr.. James n. Lawrence,
an old citizen of Sumner county, and a
respectable citizen. When he saw the
article in the Cresset he had his son
write over for a correction. The fol-
lowing then, explains itself:
MEDICINE LODGE, KS. June IS, 'S3.

DEAR SIR Yours of the 18th, at

take we beg your fathers pardon.

posed he was the attorney we should
not have written the article as we did.
