District Court.

Judge Amos Harris, of Wichita, appear
ed here Monday, and Tuesday opened the
first court in the new Eighteenth district.
1t was the first time the Judge ever sat on
the bench; but he took to it as naturally as
II he had done nothing else during his life.
He presided with dignity and created a
most favorable impression. As there had
not been sufficient time from the passage
Of the bill creating the district and fixing
the time for holding court here, TO select
ajury, and as none Of the cases were ready
for trial, court WAS adjourned until the reg.
MAR term In November. A called term
was suggested, but Judge Harris said his
time would be fully employed until nexl
fall; rs the dockets In the other counties In
the district were crowded with old bust
ness which should be disposed OF. In ont
county, Sedgwick, he calculated 1t woulC
require three months to clear the docket.
Up there most Of the time OF the court ha,
been taken mp In trying whlskey cases Il
the neglect OF othsr business. One weel
from next Monday Judge Harris vial oper
court In Harper county.

What Is supposed to be a mad stone was
shown to MS this week by Mr.. II. L. BATHS,
who lives IL miles south Of this place, on
the Medicine river He owned a yearling
steer which was entirely blind since 1t was
a calf, and two weeks ago the animal refus-
cd to eat and suddenly died. Mr.. BATHS
made post norton examination and found
in the stomach large hard bali, about five
inches In damater, which he now has. 1t
Is of greyish color, hard, and looks ne il
composed of hair, It being slightly porus.
As far as can be judged it is solid, and
about the weight of an ordinary croquet
ball. II is said that mad stones grow In
the stomachs OF animals, and IL such is the
cise, Mr.. BATHS certainly has one. He
would not put price on the strange object
but expressed willingness to allow any
one in need Of a mad stone to try Its prop
ties.

We are in receipt Of a long and interest
ing letter from w. c. Watkins, who was of
the firm Of Stith & Watkins until last year.
He Is now In ella county, Arizona Terri.
tory, engaged in the cattle business. The
country, he says, is mountainous, but the
grass and water are both good, the climate
peffect. There is plenty Of snow on the
mountains but none In the valleys. He has
invested In cattle nj $40 per head, and has
good range. Part Of the Territory has
not been surveyed yet. Mr.. Watkins give,
an interesting description Of his trip from
Camp Supply to his present residence. RE
started July IL, 1889. He went up Beaver
to Lane & Curry's, and found good grass
and plenty Of water. He then took the
old U. h road TO Fl Bascom, going up the
Paladora aud the South Canadian; saw
much good grass, but decided the country
was too level to hold cattle well during the
winter. From TT. Bascom TO Las Vegas
he found broken country, without any
good cattle range on the whole route. The
country is broken and sIndy. From Las
Vegas by way Of Santa Fe to Albuquerque,
the roads were poor, the grass was poor,
and the only thing to see Is the Mexican
with his sheep and his burro. 1t looked
stnnge to sec the Mexican cutting hay with
hoe and packing II to market on his ten
cent-burro; but such is life in New Next
co with the greaser. From Albuquerque
he went TO Winslow, aud found mean
country most Of the way-nothing but
sheep and burros. At Ft Wingate the In
dams stole his best stallion, but by hard
work he secured the animal. He found
these Indians large sheep owners, but their
animals are at least one-half black ones.
Sheep and goats were about all the stock
he saw until he got on the Little Colorado
river, In Arizona, where he saw good cattle,
with plenty of nutritious grass and clear
water to live on; but Mr.. Watkins thinks
sheep and goats will take that country.
MIR. Watkins says the ruins of old struct.
ures are numerous in the section ne Is Id,
and he frequently stands on the the rude
walls and wonders where are those who
once used the buildings as their babitations
History Is silent. and tradition says not q
word. The old bitches in which are found
pottery show that the people who lived
there were not entirely ignorant. Who
were they. and where have they gone
asks our corIpSpDutlcnt.

Or THE RANGE MARCH G.

OH Ihk hAN08 nLARCH y, 1000.
EDITOR IxDEx: Your paper announces
that there IL to be q stockmen's meeting
at the Lodge the latter part Of this month,
to be followed by supper and ball. Speak
ing for several. who, like myself, are young
men with an appreciation for an occasional
good time, want to make n few sngges-
tions. We like Medicine Lodge for many
reasons and heretofore most Of the boys
from the range have spent their hartl-earned
money there when they have had occasion
to buy any clothes and Supplies. We have
never failed to contribute literally TO the
support of the town and its institutions
and enterprises. We have willingly paid
our way on all occasions, but must con-
fess that we do not think the town has
shown any disposition to encourage us In
coming there. During the holidays there
was not an entertainment there for us to at
tend, though we would have been glad to
pay for one. The business men appear so
intent on selling us goods that they forget
what we come to town for. The failure
OF the tewn to do something that week has
cost it big money. There are other, though
smaller, places that do get upan OCCASION
al dance. Those places are increasing their
popularity and their trade.
Now, If Medicine Lodge wants to retain
the trade of the young men from the range
1t must awake from its sleep. Some of us
want to bring ladies there--as Cultivated
and as smart as any in the town-but where
will they stop! The hotels can't accom-
modate them; aud tire parents of these
ladies, therefore, sensibly, object to them
going there. Would it not be a paying in
vestment for the business men to OCCASION
ally open their own homes In such instances;
Ii the wives of the merchants in Medicine
Lodge knew their husbands interests, they
would more frequently have young ladie,
from the country come in. That would
bring in the boys, and they spend the mon
ey.
We all hope the stockmen's meeting may
be success and that our wives, sisters anC
sweetbearts may have the opportunity Of
attending the ball and supper.
