Wednesday last II. ;. Howard and J..
W. Ivy, of Ashland, Clark county, were
here looking for Fred Spencer, a young
man who murdered George Warwick. a
companion, II miles from Ashland. near
the '76'' ranch, on the night Of the ID
inst. IL appears that Spencer, Warwick
and two other young men from Harper
county, were living together where the
murder occurred, when Spencer became
angry at Warwick for some trivial mat
ter and without a word, shot him dead.
lie then demanded money of the other
two, but they having none he coolly
searched the body of his victim and
robbed II of several dollars and disap-
peared in the darkness. and has not been
seen since. lie is about 20 years old
smooth face, fair complexion and has a
scar under his chin, near the neck. His
folks live in Harper county and are re-
spectacle people. Sheriff Rigg and dep
uties, of this county are on the lookout
for the murderer.

Nearly Killad-


Clem. Johnson, a cowboy working for
the Greever-IIoughton Co., came near
meeting with sudden death last Friday
afternoon near New Kiowa. A horse
race, for small stakes, was arranged
and johnson was riding Alpha Upde-
graff's bay and had won the race. In
checking the horse at the outcome il
fell and broke its neck and fell on john
son with such force as to fracture his
right jaw, produce conclusion of the
brain, divide the muscles of the tongue.
and otherwise bruise him. IL appears
that when the horse fell johnson was
thrown forward and caught under the
horses shoulder. He was unconscious
when taken up and remained so until
Sunday morning when he showed signs
OF recovery. DIR. Downtain of New
kiowa called to his assistance DR.. Kess-
Ter, OF this city, and the unfortunate
man will likely recover from his
injuries.
After the accident a lot of the BOYS
raised a purse Of $50 TO partly recJm-
pense Alpha Updegraff for the loss of
his horse, but he magnanimously gave
the amount to Glen Johnson, the young
man who was hurt.

Our Renresentativs


Hon. L. A. McNeal. representative
from Barber county in the legislature,
arrived home from Topeka Tuesday
night, accompanied by Mrs. McNeal,
who wisely remained with her husband
during the ordeal of law-making and
such. Mrs. McNeal was interviewed
yesterday by the INDEX, and though the
promise was earnestly made that not
one word she said should ever appear in
print, the temptation is too great, and
we cannot forbear telling what "Our
Tom" is like, when away from home.
well, then, you must know Mr..
INDEX, that Tom never appeared to
realize the high honor conferred on him
by his constituents as he referred to the
voters, until he started away from Med
icine Lodge. Going over in the stage
he insisted on addressing me as ''Mr.
Speaker" Whenever the stage would
stop for any purpose he would call for
the regular order of business" When
we. arrived at Attica he insisted on pre-
senting his credentials whatever
that may mean, to the conductor; and
so he kept it up until he got to Topeka.
He thought the brakemen were door
keepers, and insisted that the porters
were pages You must know that he
had been reading some book on parlia-
mentary law. Well, all went well until
we arrived at Topeka. Then he sud-
denly got it into his head that he was
the belle" of society, and he actually
missed his meals to go to the skating
Kinks, the opera house, the Modoc and
Press clubs, and the committee meet
ings. How hate theml Why. would
you believe it, those terrible committees
sometimes remained in session all night
and even on Sundays when a good hus-
band ought to be at home or at church.
my husband had to attend those COM
mittee meetings. To make the matter
still worse, he was the chief engineer of
a party of ''Woman's Rights women -
and happened over in the house one
day when he was introducing a lot of
"strong minded women to the mem
bers OF the house. And may mention
in this connection that the proceedings
stopped short, never to go again, when
appeared on the scene.''
But l will not divulge further of
family history; but will say right here
that the present representative from
Barber will not be reelected. He will
not be a candidate, even. If am the
"better half of the firm he will not
even get outside of the corporate limits
of the town for two years. But one
thing more, in confidence: He was on
that 'gislatiye reception committee
for the MapIeson Opera company
Just to think of that!''
The reporter wished that he were a
Chicago divorce lawyer and left the
sensible and unfortunate wife of the
legislator, tOtrust to Providence for her
future.

Claim Jumping.

One j. y. Stalnaker, a man who at
one time was connected with the engi-
neerirg department of the southern
Kansas railroad, appears to be now en-
gagged in the profitable, if not HONORABLE
business of putting men on claims that
have already been filed on, If reports are
true. 1t appears that he went to Lar
ned, Kansas, recently and obtained
plats of lands untaken in Barber county.
or rather, lands that the registers office
showed to be vacant. Armed with this
information, Stalnaker, undertook the
business of locating land-hunters. To
pay HIM ten dollars insured location
on untaken land; twenty dollars was a
guarantee Of an extra good claim. And
what was the consequence?
The claim of the widow Babin was
selected by one avaricious squatter.
The widow MOore's claim--bOth south
east of town not more than four miles
met similar jumper. p. b. and Sam
Coles land, Marion Thompson's farm,
O'Bryan's claim, allwer settled on UNI
der the same order of things; Founder
smiths was another claim jumped.
The lawful claimants asked the set
tiers why they were engaged in such
questionable transactions. 1--WE were
told that the land was vacant and un-
taken" was their reply; and so it went.
Stalnaker claimed that he went to
Larned and was furnished with plats
showing the lands to be vacant. He
further said that Judge Brown, the reg
lister of the Larned lanI Office had de-
elared willingness to stand by the
plats.
Every person in this community
knows that the Babin claim, the Moore
claim. the Cole claim, the Foundersmith
claim, have all been proved up. Every
intelligent citizen knows that there is
not claim within six miles of town
worth fifty dollars but has been taken
and proved up.
Right now and here we want to can
a halt in this business Of claim Jump
ing.
A foolish party attempted to rob a
bank here less that a year ago, and that
party is sleeping the sleep that knows
no waking.
So it viii be with those individuals
who are attempting to rob rightful
own ers Of their land; and we cannot

The Whiskev opestIor


30 far as we have been able to ascer-
tain the sentiment of the people on the
subject, there is no disposition to
change the present arrangements for
regulating the sale of Intoxicating
liquors in Medicine Lodge, and il ap-
pears now that the present saloons will
be allowed to continue their business
without interruption on payment of the
fines assessed against them by the CITY
government. The revenue derived from
this source is about $3.50 per month. and
every dollar of this amount is needed by
the city government i'm making the i'm
provements on the streets now under
way. While it may be claimed by some
of the more enthusiastic prohibitionists
that the present order of things is di-
rectly contrary to law. that the officers
Will be subjecting themselves to heavy
penalties if they they fail to strictly
enforce the present statutory enact
ments. it must also be remembered that
Public Opinion" does and should reg
ulate local matters of morals and GUS
tom.
Medicine Lodge has, for longmonths,
been undergoing an era of peace and
prosperity; lawleSsness and disorder
have been unknown; it has been an
easy matter to check boisterousness.
and the officers have had the co-opera-
ton of all classes in their efforts to pre-
serve the peace and dignity that should
characterize law-abiding people.
With this state of affairs we do not
believe that it would be wise to inter-
fere with the present order of affairs;
and we do not believe there will be any
complaints if the laws are no further
violated than they have been in the past
year.
