Medicine Lodge Cresset, The grass on
the range Is curing up IN good shape and
as there is an abundance Of feed in the
country, the chances for the old COWS
having a regular Old-fashioned Sunday
school picnic of a time this Winter are
very hattering. The only cause for ap-
prehensiOn that we have heard of so far,
is the great amount of loco on the range.

retired, some person drove past his
house in a wagon, and when opposite
his house he fired at it with a shot gun,
putting IS shot into the wall right at the
mead Of the bed upon which Mr.. Ogle
was lying. Ogle ran out and called to
the fellow to stop and explain why he
was making a target of his house The
fellow put whip to his horses and left
very rapidly. Mr.. Ogle sent two or three

far away for John to get in any effective
work.

near the west line Of the county, was
moving grass last Monday, and his little
girl, who had brought him some water.
instead Of returning to the house, as he
thought, lay down IN the tall grass, and
before he discovered, he drove the now
Grover her, cutting one of her legs Of
between the ankle and knee. Medical
aid was secured from Havensville as
quickly as possible, but Notwithstanding
all that could be done for her, the little
sufferer died in a few hours. Mr.. Ford

Wichita Eagle: AIalariaI fever is quite
prevalent in the city, the reports of
many physicians to the contrary not
Withstanding. One of the oldest physi-
sicians in the city told an Eagle reporter
recently that he had not known of as
many cases of that malady in the city
since 1874 as there are at the present
time. The causes, he alleges, are imper-
feet drainage, the backing up of the
waters of the Little River" the care
lessuess of the people about removing
decaying vegetable matter from about
their premises; their neglect to keep the
sewers open in their yards and allowing
Offal to accumulate about their houses
and barns. He says vegetation this year
has been unusually rank and that great
care should be taken to prevent weeds,
etc, falling into and remaining in their
drains.
