CLICK Is THE MAI.

Atchison Globe 1t seems generally
'agreed that Governor Click will not be
n candidate for reelection. He made a
statement to this effect to the GLOBE
two weeks ago, but we still hope that
he will reconsider his determination
He probably fears defeat. and hopes Il
ihave it said when victory refuses Il
perch on the democratic banner, that
Click could have made it." Mr.. Click
owes to the people of Kansas to make g
second race, and he should not hesitate
"a moment. He can be reelected, anG
if after that the republicans insist upor
splitting in the face Of the people, ht
can occupy a seat in the United State:
senate. The people are organizing fol
.the reelection of Click and the party OF
progress and common sense, the Ka7sa:
ianti-prohibition party, will be great,
discouraged by his refusal to become it:
standard bearer. Mr.. Click should an
inounce now, to the end that there may
be no unnecessary loss of energy, thai
he will accept a denomination If tn.
people desire II. Democracy is moi
strong in Kansas, but anti-prohibitior
is, and Governor Click should remem
Der that If j. \. Martin is nominated
against him, and vice versa. The anti.
prohibition prospects are much better
! in 1854 than in 1852, for st. John was q
better man than either Martin, Thach.
Ter or JetmOre.

THE BOYD CASE DECIDED.

On Friday of last week the replevin
suit Of Jesse Boyd against Sheriff Rige
was decided at Kingman, where it bad
been taken by a change of venue from
this county. Resident cattle owners
have watched the case with great inter.
est from the beginning, as the much
mooted question Of Texas or Spanish
fever, from which disease SO many fine
cattle died in this county last summer
was at issue.
AT former trial at Kingman on this
same case the jury disagreed, and stood
eleven for Sheriff Rigg and one for
Boyd. At this trial Boyd gets a verdict.
On the complaint Of W. w. Cook and
others- Sheriff Rigg took possession OF
the Boyd herd in July, 1885. BOYD re-
'pievined them, and Rigg gave a re-de-
livery bond. Last fall the Judge of the
district court appointed T. A. McCleary
receiver, and by an order Of the court
Sold the cattle at public sale. This suit
believes Boyd OF the legal liabilities for
the costs, which now amount TO. includ-
ing the keeping Of the cattle before the
appointment Of a receiver, somewhere
in the neighborhood Of 5000, which
Pie county, II now seems, must stand.
There are other suits for damage as

courts, and viii be IS vigorously pushed
% we are informed, as IL no decision
had been rendered in the case.
New evidence in substance from the
citizens in Arkanxas, where Mr.. Boyd
bought the cattle, is to the effect that
they were healthy, and had no disease.
Similar evidence TO this was introduced
to show that the Boyd cattle were heal
thy, which, to my own acquaintance
with the disease, is very reasonable,
and has no bearing on the case, as Tex
as or Arkansas cattle that give the dis
ease are not liable to be, and are not
diseased-but do spread the disease
thoughin thriving condition. II is a
fact beyond dispute, that cattle sick
with this disease do not impart the dis.
ease 70 other cattle.
Some fifteen witnesses testified that
from their personal knowledge and OBJ
servation, the Boyd herd spread the dis.
ease in the western portion Of this. as
well as the western portion of Harper
county. Persons interested, as well as
witnesses and spectators, express sur.
prise at the decision, and do not believe
the evidence warranted It.

years ago. The increase in 1874 over
he total for 1873 was 1893. During the
past year the dailies have increased
from LBS to I,254 the wceklies from
1852 TO l0,02s and the mOnthlies from

OBITUARY.

We had little anticipated when We
sent out the last issue Of this journal
that Il would become our sad duty ~
soon to chronicle the untimely death Of
It's proprietor.
Mr.. 4. w. Payne was born IN Nilsson
ri In 1917. Ills early life was spent up
on the farm, and from early bOyhood he
was reared to rugged toll. Without am,
particular advantage In the way OF
schools, he still managed to obtain o
fair business education, and what h.,
lacked Ina the knowledge OF books N,
made up by natural elearness Of intel
lect, and almost unlimited energy. That
no enjoyed a good share Of the conf.
dence Of his fellow citizens was show
by his election to the legislature Of Ms
souri, in 1875.
In 1880 Mr.. Payne associated himself
with Messrs. Hunter, Evans K Co., of
81. Louis, for the purpose Of ranging
cattle In Comanche county. In his
ranching operations SIr. Payne ha.
been remarkably successful, and with
the exception OF one year, has held the
important position of director of the
ComaDche county pool since its forma-
ton. Something over two years ago h,
engaged In the banking business, being
elected president Of the Medicine Val
ley Bank, the continued success OF
which institution has been largely due
to his energy and business ability. III,
has also for more than year past occu-
pied the position OF director in the Cher
okee Strip Livestock association.
In 1866 Mr.. Payne was married O.
Miss Susan A. Payne, OF Missouri, by
whom he has nine children Edward j.
Mary A., Estella H., Charles T., John
~, Eliza H., Laura, Leila 7. and viii
liam w.
His death occurred on Thursday, at
II o'clock A. 81, in the ssth year Of his
age.
II is not our purpose or place 10 write
any fulsome encomiums upon the life
and character Of him who has gone. He
was a man OF positive temperament
great force Of character and unbendine
viii. Such man would naturally Gre
ate some antagonismS and have some
enemies, but even those who disagreed
with him were compelled 10 admire th,
courage Of his convictions and the out
spoken manner In which he expressed
his opinion. When he once engaged iu
any project he lent all the energy Of his
nature to It's accomplishment. or Mr..
Payne's differences with other men We
know nothing, but whatever they NAV
have been, We aro satisfied that, in the
recollection Of his tragic and untimely
death In the very flower and prime of
his manhood, they will all bc buried and
forgotten, while the fragrant flowers of
charity and sympathy will be left 10
bloom alone upon tho graves Of the
dead.
