A Promised Removal.

The Amber Gazette of last week had this
to say on a momentous question now agi-
tating that community:
ave hear that there is petition in cir
culation for the removal of the post Office
from Amber TO Squire Paddock's residence
about one mile andNa half west of here.
We don't know who drew up the petition,
nor the names and number of the sgners,
nor do we care. The Gazette would like to
know their object in wanting the office re-
moved from where it is. 1t is on the d.
rect mail route running from Medicine
Lodge to Saratoga and Iuka, and Is near
the junction OF Spring and Elm creeks
where the settlements are the thickest. All
the settlers in the northeast part of this
county and near the lake in Pratt county
get their mail here, and all those north and
northwest, that don't get any mail here, go
either to Elm Mills or Saratoga, which is
nearer to them. And settlers five miles
west OF here either get their mail at Medi-
cine Lodge or at Lake City. So our read
ers can plainly see that by changing the
lost Office to Squire Paddock's would dis
commode hundreds living near Amber, and
accommodate four or five settlers living
along the west bank of Elm creek.
Several weeks during this last winter,
the crossing OF Elm, at Mr.. Butchers was
very dangerous and teams were compelled
to 60 to other crossings. Mr.. Butcher had
to cut his fence and put sand Oh the ice at
another crossing in order to feed stock Oh
the west side of the creek, he deeming it
unsafe to try the main crossing, which we
will be compelled to cross if the office is
removed.
But we don't believe the people are GO
ing to let 1t go. They know that it is to
their interest and convenience to keep il
where 1t il.
So we will say to those who have signed
the petition to 60, some calm night when
the moon is behind cloud in order that no
one cln see them, and have their names
taken of, before their friends hear of il.
and offer up prayer for their redemption -

the spring roundup, thepresident announced
that the election Of a captain would be in
order.
WIN. Kelley nominated John McGrath,
but that gentleman declined to serve.
Taylor Nichols nominated Clay McGrath;
but he also objected to serving.
VIM. Kelley was placed In nomination,
and he also tried to beg of; so on motion
Of DIR. Bond the members were directed to
prepare ballots and vote for their choice for
captain. The result was Kelly % and Clay
McGnth 10.
Mr.. Kelley was then asked for his views
rs to how the roundup should be conduct
this season. He respondedand said that in
his opinion the entire county should be
worked in one division, and from the main
bedy parties could be sent of up the differ
ent creeks and into the different ueiehbor-
hoods.
On motion Of DR.. Bond the president
appointed a committee of five to Arrange
the time for commencing the roundup. The
committee appointed was composed Of
Messrs. Kelly, Carmichael, Elsea, Dark and
John McGrath.
The committee on assessment reported
that there should be levy of one cent on
every head of cattle owned by the members
and that the secretary be instructed to no
tify each member of the amount to be paid.
The report was accepted.
The roundup committee reported that
work be commenced in this county June
10th, the details to be arranged by the cap
tain and published in the county papers.
w. c. johnson and VIM. Kelley an
nounced that they would be present or have
men in every division Of the Territory
roundup, and would undertake to bring ND
all Barber county cattle at the uniform rate
of 81 per head; and that parties desiring
them to gather for them would be request
eel to leave their power of attorney and a
description of their brands In book pro-
vided for the purpose at the Office of
Taliaferro q Strong.
After extending profusion of thanks to
the president of the association for his two
years of faithful services; to VIM. Kelley
and j. P. EIsea, captains of last years
roundup, and to the members of the press
the association adjourned.
The president has announced the following

Of sorghum as feed for stock, but some de-

other varieties Of feed. Not long since one
man denounced millet in strong terms, and
especially the large millet. so we conclude
that no one variety OF forage will satisfy
the aesthetic taste OF the Barber county cat
tleman.

Of here, and was only prevented by the
timely arrival OF DIR. Dunn. Itappears that
while working in town she became infatu-
ated with worthy young man, Ben Teal,
who has claim six miles south of here.
and well known here, and who paid her
marked attention. The two had even
agreed TO be married ut once, and had fixed
the 21th of March rs the happy day. But
the young lady's father became aware OF
the arrangements and concluded the mar
rage should not occur just then. He went
to Mr.. Story, the proprietor Of the hotel.
AMI asked what he should do about il. He
was advised to let the wedding occur, as his
daughter was evidently determined on Car.
rying out her intentions. Mr.. Founder
smith said he did not know MIR. Teal, and
besides his daughter was too young, and so
he would take her home. And he did.
What occurred from then until Tuesday
we could hot learn; but that afternoon
Miss Alice got possession Of the key to her
fathers trunk, where she found a lot Of
strychnine. OF this she took large dos,
and soon afterwards told her folks what
she had done. A messenger WIS ut once

IL is hoped that this little incident will not
cool Mr.. Teal's arClor, but that he and Miss
Alice will be permitted to travel down life's
happy stream together.
