/ 1t is still vigorously contended by
, some that this fence cutting was not
: done by Leaguers; or by any one
with their knowledge or authority.
e Why does it happen then that every
fence that has been cut belongs to
, some Anti-Leaguer? Why does it
happen that when the cases are
brought into court, prominent
members of the League are always
present, ready and eager to go on the

Wichita railroad paid into the county
treasury the last halfofits taxes for 1884
last Wednesday, the sum amounting
to s., $3.50. The NJ. P. has already
paid its taxes, amounting to Ss22. 13.
The s. X. has not yet paid, awaiting
the result of its fight against that part
of the tax which goes to pay the salary
of the Railroad Commissioners,
Times may be little dull but it is
pretty hard to find an idle mechanic
in lola. We have been trying all
week to get a two hours job of car
penter work done, but have been UNI
able so far to find man to do it. The |
first man we went to had work three |
weeks ahead. The next one couldn't
see a leisure day ahead of him short |
of two months, and so on around. AS |
long as the mechanics are busy, guess
the rest Of us can manage to worry
through the summer.
The band boys had picnic We'd
nesday evening. Beck got up steam
in his traction engine, got the boys
all up on top of the separator and
hauled them around town for an hour
or more. Taken all together the ma
chine, including the band and small
boys, attracted great. deal of atten-
ton. A halt was made at Mr.. Beck's
residence where Mrs. Beck served the
boys with lemonade, and after the
tour was finished Mr.. Beck took them
i'm to ice cream at Lee Fuckers.
The wave of Battle passed blood

of lola last week, but we fear, not
No man or woman can eat
two or three suppers in one evening
with IMMUNITY. The temptation to do
so, was certainly great and we fear
many fell. The Hall was a very
pretty sight last Friday night and !
tastefully decorated with beautiful {
flowers and girls, and all parties con-
cerned should certainly be congratu-
lated on the success Of their entertain. ,
ment. The Red and the White Roses
were charming alike. We could not
choose between them if we would. We
would not if We could.
Clarence Norton got in from the Pa
cific coast last Monday evening, well G
with his trip and better salts c
fed with Kansas. He looked over the t
whole Pacific slope thoroughly and
returns perfectly satisfied with Kansas j
as better farming country than any j
he saw. We wish, for the benefit of :
some of our citizens who may be get a
ting little restless, that We could re- q
produce the opinion of the West that I
he gave us, but perhaps it was all j
up in this remark: "Any man G
who has farm in Kansas is fool for
selling it with the expectation of doing G
better by going farther west" We q
are glad to see Clarence back again q
and glad that he is here to stay. q
Two weeks ago we noted the fact that ,
q shanty, erected on Chollette's land
south Of town, by the Leaguers, had
been torn down ty Mr.. Chollette and
hauled away. Mr.. Chollette sold the
house to his brother-in-law, Mr.. Searls,
who hauled it up to his farm six miles .
north of town. On Wednesday of last :,
week, five or six armed Leaguers went :
to Mr.. Searles' place and loaded the I,
house on their wagons and started
home with it. Mr.. Chollette learned
what they had done and when they
reached town he met them with writs f
If replevin and took possession of the t
lumber. The legal question as to who Il
OWNS the lumber is an interesting one L
md will probably be well fought when b
the case comes to trial as it will some +

When Gen. Prentice was here he a
