On the gath of September there were
two horses stolen from parties in Ivy
township. The owners finding no trace
of themeasked aid from the Bunker
Hill anti-horse-thief association, II. L.
Mckee, president. Two committees
were started in pursuit. One OF them,
consisting of A. III. Mosher and VIM.
Oglesby captured one thief, Geo. Fuqua,
and one horse at Wichita. This horse
is in the hands of the association
at Ivy, and Geo. Fuqua was brought
here and to-day waived examination
and was bound over in justice court.
The second committee, consisting Of
A. G. Robb and A q. Peister, learning
from the captured man that John Fuqua
the other thief, was at Garden Plains
followed him there, and undertook tc
arrest him. He resisted, and was shot
by PeIster. He had traded horses, and
had IN his possession three horses, &
mule. a wagon and other property
Peister and Rob5 had a states warrant
issued by Judge Fletcher here, and had
been deputzed by Sheriff White IC

the deputy sheriff of Sedgwick county
where they went TO make the arres.
They were, however, brought befor,

FOR REPkEsEN1ATIvE-D A. bun.
TER

To-day is the last opportunity Of
reaching the readers OF The WEEKLY
NEWS prior to next Tuesday, election
and as the voters of the Sixty-Second
district are mostly reached through The
WEEKLY News it Is desirable to cpl.
tonize here some Of the reasons why NO
Republican voter should allow himself
to be deceived into casting a ballot
against Mr.. Hunter, the regular Rep1bli.
can Legislative nominee.
1. Mr.. Hunters qualifications for the
position. his personal character and long
residence IN the community are such as
to entitle him to support in preference
to either of the other candidates.
2. Mr.. Hunter as a farmer and an old
citizen is most thoroughly acquainted
with the needs and in harmony with the
interests of his constituents.
3. Mr.. Hunter was fairly aud legitl-
mateiy nominated, and has been con.
Quoting square and legitimate canvass
4. Mr.. Hunter stands squarely upon
the Republican platform, and is in favor
OF prohibition, the enforcement of law
and the return of John ]. ingalls, to the
United States senate.
5. Mr. Hunter has been made by his
opponents during the campaign the tar
get of malicious ISLANDERS and mIsrepre-
sensations that should meet with the
emphatic condemnation of every righr
minded voter. Express that condemns
ton at the polls.
6. Mr.. Walkers candidacy is entirely
in the interests of the Democratic party
and he desires to see the defeat of Mr.
Hunter. kSee the correspondence Of Mr.
Stratton IN another part of this paper.
Every vote cast for Walker will only in
crease the probability of Anderson's cleo
ton.
z. Ii is important for state anC
national politics that there shoult
be working Republican majority il
the next legislature Tor the election of
United States senator.
8. The Democratic scheme is to cap
ture the legislature, and they will sacri
fee every other part of the ticket 10
that end. They want to elect Governo
Click to the United States senate. Al
ready they have offered to trade three L
one in this county for thrie Legislative
nominees.
Do not be mIsled by them, but STAN
by Hunter and secure his trIumphan
election.

A SPLENDID REooRD.

The Democratic mud-slingers, who
In The paucity Of their arguments against
the reelection of County AuorneS
Feighan have retorted not only TO flings
against his personal character, but have
sought also to place his public record in
false light before the people, will find
that in the face Of the facts their charges
far from being sustained, are oyerWheIm
inglY refuted; and the consideration OF
Lyon county voters is asked to the iol-
lowing showing from the county Judi
cial rtcord-a showing which We do not
believe Is surpassed In any county in the
state. Il certainly has not been in any
previous administration of the Office IN
Lyon county. The records Of the district
court, including the September term OF
this year from January 1. 1888, the time
that Col. FeIghan entered upon the du-
ties OF his office, show seventy
one convictions in criminal
cases, five of the convictions, including
the Green case, ION which new trial has
been granted) being in actions tor muir
der. A number of other cases have
been OF large importance, but except in
one case-the Keiger-M osely case-and
that was provided for by contract prior
10 Mr.. Feighsn's becoming county at
torney, not dollar has been paid out
by the county for legal assistance in the
prosecution of any case. TWentY-one
violators of law have been sentenced to
the penitentiary and three to the state
reform school, while In round numbers
about 81, 200 in fines have been collected
and paid in to the county treasury. Far
from being derelIct in relation TO the
prohlbitory law, the records show that
there have been 10 the district court
since Mr.. Feighan became county At
torney, twenty successful prosecutions
and convictions for violations of
that law, besides those that
he has prosecuted successfully
