liable note. Sunday, on his way from the will

the same day but failed to fiud IL, and return
ed to this place until Monday morning. when
he again made search and found the pocket
book minus the cash, but still containing the
note. He has pretty good idea who got the
money, but from the lack of evidence, other
than circumstantlal, will not prosecute the
matter further. This makes the third or
fourth instance wherein the stolen pocket
book turned up minus the dust
In reference to the above | wish to
state some circumstances connected
with Mr.. Church S pocket-book Mon
day morning, July 18th, started early
for the Willow for load of wood, the
weather was very damp, there being
quite heavy mist falling. After driv
ing about 3 miles | met Mr. Church and
Mr.. Shepherd, having had slight ac-
quaintance with both gentlemen, | stop
ped and talked with them few mo-
ments, and as was about to drive on
Mr.. Church said he had lost his pocket
book the day before somewhere between
his house and Mr.. Sevenker's. We were
then about = miles north of Sevenker's
and he requested me to look for it as |
was going over the same road. drove
about 2 miles when Mr. Church over
took Inc going toward home asked
him if he had found his pocket-book.
He said he had but the money was gone
and went on to say that he found it in
plain sight and wondered that | did not
see it as my wagon track showed that
had driven right over it and he further
stated that it was almost entirely dry.
A fact in connection with the fact that
he bad looked the same ground over
thoroughly the night before, led him to
think that it had been picked up the
night before and placed there that morn
ing again He also said that Mr.. Shep-
herd had gone on to town to see what
he could do and he came back to talk
to me, as my wagon was the only one to
his personal knowledge that had been
over the road since he lost his pocket
book. | told Mr.. Church that he was
at perfect liberty to examine myself or
my pocket-book or take any other step
he choose to, that could say under oath
that | never saw his pocket-book, that
| never was as far north on the Willow
road as Mr.. Sevenker's house before
that morning and that [ could prove
my whereabouts all day Sunday and
Sunday night, IF these are the circum-
stances alluded to in the above as cir
cumstantial evidence they are neverthe-
less facts and | am without further
defense. S. B. Brown.

A young individual giving the name
of Burdette Fry, hired team at o.
colt barn, Monday of last week, for
the ostensible purpose of going to Indi-
anola to attend the County Institute
then in session at that place, but for
the real purpose, as subsequent actions
indicate, of getting away with the team,
selling the same, and realizing some
cash-of which he possessed none. He
drove to Indianola, and remained there
until Wednesday morning, putting on
no inconsiderable amount of dog in the
meantime, buying farms, and otherwise
amusing himself. Wednesday morning
he informed the Short boys that he was
going out to Vests to perfect arrange
ments for purchasing his farm, and
started in that direction-and finally
put up in Oxford, GO miles distant, the
same evening. At this point he also
made the purchase of several town lots,
and was contracting for the lumber for
a large building which he purposed
erecting. By this time, the Short boys
became suspicious that all was not
square. and sent word to Mr. Olcott as
to the case, and he, with John Short
started after him On the train, corraling
the thief at Oxford. The youngster
told so many conflicting stories as to
make all of his statements worthless.
He had hearing before Judge Ash
more, Monday morning. He made no
defense, acknowledging the statements
of the witnesses against him to be true,
and was bound over to the next term
of District Court, his bond being placed
at 81 900, and being unable to give the
same, he was placed in the hands of
Sheriff Welborn for safe keeping. He
was dead broke, and assumed the air
and role of a capitalist to procure cred
it-with which he succeeded in jump
ing board bills, livery hire, etc. He will
be given season for reflection in the
pen. Judge Gaslin is loaded for horse
thieves.

Our energetic roadmaster, j. r. Phe-
Ian, spent night at Stratton, last week,
and during the course of the night he
received two different visits from noe
turnal perambulator, who, it seems, was
intent upon having the extra change"
that might be found in Mr.. Phelan's
pantaloons. Mr.. Phelan was occupy
ing a room on the first floor, and the
midnig marauder entered at the rails
ed window, awakening j. r. in doing
so, who made an cutlery and the would
be burglar fled, only to return again
after awhile, and make arrangements
for getting in at the window. At about
this stage of the proceedings our worthy
roadmaster became somewhat interested
and we might add warm, and the in.
truder being armed and the intruded
upon not being so, and there being moth
ing in the room save the couch upon
which he was sleeping, Mr.. Phelan
made hasty toilet and proceeded to
investigate matters a little--without
finding any game. After returning and
retiring again, he heard the party re-
turn, and go up stairs and turn in for
the night The next morning MIR. Phe-
Ian interviewed one of the section hands
and made it clear-as with an electric
his mind to leave the coun-
try. The S. h. didn' wait long on the
order of his going, but, without even
waiting for his time, made tracks to-
ward bleeding Kansas at an OLeary

The keepers Of gambling dens at In
dianola were recently pulled up before
the authorities and each fined $50.
Correct, eminently correct. Had not
these gamblers over-reached themselves
so badly when they feeced that individ-
ual so outrageously, recently, the min
ions of the law would probably not have
reached them so soon-nor struck them
so hard. We are similarly afflicted in
our town, and would hail as the initia-
ton Of an era Of reform just such ac-
ton on the part of authorities as has
taken place at the county-seat. We
have been Informed of parties who
gamble away their wages to such an
extent that their families suffer for lack
of food. We were given the name of
one such person, last month, who play
ed As hours continuously almost and his
family were in want. We don't pry
around in this matter, consequently only
know what is given us gratutously,
which may or may not be authentic.
Had we positive proofs we would give
the mans name, for any person who
will be guilty of doing as our informant
says, is the most contemplate piece of
human flesh of which it is possible to
conceive. Even coyote will protect
