SHOOTING OF CONDOR.
A Black Bush Does the Deed.

|
The WORLD OF last week stated that J
F. Condor had been shot.
Since then we have gained full particu.
lars of the. ARRAY. J. F. Condor lives
eight miles north of Collyer. His place
is short distance TO the northeast of the
ranch of the well-known Webster Bros.
Living about half mile from Condon'a
is colored family by the name of Brown.
The fellow who shot Condor is black, bis
name is Joseph Bush, and he has been
making Browns house his boarding
place.
As far as the causes which led to the
shooting are concerned, we have inquired
industriously into both sides of the case.
On the surface, there is but little dispar
ity in the statements of the facts by Con-
don's friends and those of Bush.
In the first place, both of them bad re-
Gently taken cattle of the same man in the
Solomon valley to winter. Condor got
his bunch first, and, Of course had the
pick. After getting home with them, the
two punches ran together more or less.
Thursday afternoon of last week, just be-
fore the shooting occurred, a mix of this
kind took place. As the story goes, the
darkey cut out of the bunch the only
white animal belonging to the whole lot.
Condor knew it to belong to his (Con
don's) lot Hot words ensued. The lar
key whipped out knife, and cut two
pashes in Condon's left arm above the
elbow and one below. Condor went
home, and had his wife dress his arm
He then started, in company with his
wife. 20 head off the white COW and any
oshes of his own bunch OF cattle which
Bush should be found driving off. Be-
fore Condor aud his wife gos off their
own land, Bush rode up to him with a
shot gun thrown down close to his body
in such manner that it was not noticed
by the other two. Suddenly he raised il
and sent q charge of shot through Con-
don's already injured arm, penetrating the
muscles above the elbow. The shot ". .
of heavy bird-shot size. Some lodged in
his arm, others penetrated his left lung,
and his heart was barely missed by one
or more. Mr.. Condor may recover. He
may not.
Bush was arrested Friday night by
Sheriff Baker, brought to Wa-Keeney and
held until Monday morning, and then
taken to the Jail at Hays City. He will
be brought back here next Monday. On
Tuesday he will be arraigned before
Squire Croft, on the charge OF trying to
Kill Condor. The defendant will, of
course, waive examination, and be re-
manded TO Jail to await the action Of the
December term Of the district court.
Cowick, Hollister & Hogin are employed
to defend Bush. John A. Nelson is the
individual who should, "unaided and
Alone" be able to make it wa NJ ouugh
for the accused.

Facts About a Matter That Has Reea
hiSrepreSented.

DCSSAV dANl 4esASSAtCNA3 " fAesoOf u
conveniences for a time they may
promise and produce, are, in the
sum of Life, obstacles TO happiness
Nothing can compete with human
deceit. It's origin is always to be
found in the motives Of those who
are actuated only by spirit OF
thorough selfshness. When some
men, so-called, have a personal
end to accomplish then is seen the
full flower of deceit,
Inthis connection we call atten-
ton to a letter in the Sumter Re
publican of June 10th, from Daw-
son, written by Colonel (?l Mitch
ell Webb, in which he states that
the Dawson Appeal has sub
scription list fifty per cent. larger
than the DAWSON JOURNAL. We
have seen Mr.. Webb personally
and, in the presence OF four other
gentlemen, he told us that his rs
sertion had been rashly made and
that he did not give the matter
the investigation it was entitled to
before making the assertion. The
Appeal. in its last issue, copies
a part Of Webb's letter, and, there
by, endorses the assertion made
by him. We have also been in
formed that the proprietor of the
Appeal has publicly said that the
Appeal has a much larger circula-
ton in the county than the Jour-
NAL. This as falsehood and de-
ceit combined being practiced up
on the public. Before investiga-
ting the matter we knew nor cared
nothing about the circulation of
the Appeal. We know nothing
of their books and care nothing.
But, how does the Appeal know
anything about our circulation?
Be there spies about? There has
never been a time since we have
been connected with the JOURNAL
when its subscription books were
not open for the inspection of
any man who does business with
US, or expected to. do business
with US, or any person who had a
right, and claimed it, to look at
them.
When we say the assertion that
the Appeal has larger circula-
ton than the JOURNAL is false, we
base our denial on information
obtained from the postmaster,
who, above all others, is in a posi-
ton to know. Last Monday
morning representative Of the
Journal called on postmaster w.
r. Baldwin to ascertain the facts.
AIr. Baldwin told that representa-
tive that the Journal had about
three times as much circulation
in the county as the Appeal, and
had a general circulation fully as
large, and by Me-. Baldwin's per-
mission we refer all who may
doubt this to him.
While it has been our policy to
avoid any newspaper controversy,
we cannot forbear to speak out
when an attempt is made to injure
our business and when facts au-
thorize it.
We have written briefly al d
plainly and are willing and expect
to abide the consequences.
In conclusion, we desire to ap-
pologize to our readers Tor bring
ing this matter before them, and
assure them that they will not be
bored with a long controversy on
our part. We trust it will not be
necessary for us to publicly refer
to this matter again.

Amnng the Law-breakers.

last Wednesday Mr.. Enoch
Proctor, Of Dawson, went to Wes-
ION with a warrant after John D.
Mcfarland, an insurance agent

that there was a little chicken in
an egg III the nest at the wood
pile. Mr., Davis got the egg and
wrapped it up, and the next
morning a little chicken had been
