The most shockingly cold blooded
murder that has disgraced Southwest
Kansas for long time was committed
the other evening, about 6 or Z miles
southeast of town. Early last Satur-
day morning word was brought to town
that Dr. r. Layfeld had been killed the
night before in his house. The coroner,
DR.. Parks, summoned a jury and repair
ed to the scene of the bloody deed. al
though we learned enough from outsid-
ers to satisfy the pubic that it was one
of those foul murders for pelf, we re-
frain from giving any particulars as it
is still a subject Of invest cation.
After long, careful and exhaustive
investigation the coroner's jury in the
case of the murder of DR.. Layfeld find
in substance: That deceased came to
death by three shots from pistol in
the hands of Tobias j. Taylor ''Tobe

CIMARRON ITEMS.

From the New West.l
Look cut for your claim. The
claim-jumper is abroad in the land.
Crops in fine condition everywhere.
In many places the corn plants are more
than three feet high.
A store has been opened by Mr.
Briggs, late from Dodge City, in the
building recently erected by Mr.. j. K.
Hopper.
The men, who last spring predicted
a drouth for Kansas this summer, can.
not be found now. The rains during
the past ten days have probably washed
them down the current Of obscurity.
Another town Gin the center of a
county-the future county-seat and rail
road center) Is being built on the prairie
in Grant county. This town is being
pushed by some Garden City capitalists,
and bids fair to becoming large town
and an honor to the name it bears
Ulysses.
Mr.. Ii. Richardson, who lives IL
miles northeast of Cimarron, says he
plowed several acres of sod last spring,
and planted various kinds of vegetables.
He was surprised at the wonderful
growth Of these vegetables on the sod,
and reports string beans ready for the
market, and watermelon, squash and
cucumber vines four and five feet long.
The heavy rain Of Tuesday night
caused considerable damage to the rail
road between Cimarron and Dodge City.
In several places the bridges and road
bed for long distance were swept
away by the angry water. Trains were
entirely suspended for one day, and it
was not until yesterday afternoon that
the road was put in condition and the
trains able to run unimpeded.

In an interview or the recent dis

In an interview OF the recent dis
graceful affair in Dodge City, in the
course of his remarks Gov. Martin said:
''The people of Dodge City are very
foolish to allow any such proceeding to
occur in their town, and foolish fer this
reason: The time is passed for the
handling of so many cattle there as
has been done, and the class of people
that have been drawn there will not
come, naturally, very much longer.
Dodge City cannot depend upon the cat
tie business for success, but must go to
work like other towns to build up in
the ordinary way. Another reason is
that / know it has been the intention
of the Santa Fe Railroad Company for
two years, to establish division at
Dodge, and erect round houses, and the
necessary buildings. Mr.. Wright told
me this during the Legislature, and
said that the intention could not be
carried out unless the character of the
town improved Afterwards, l men
toned the subject to General Manager
Robinson, who said that such was the
intention of the company, and that
some material was already on the
ground, but that nothing would be done
until the character of the town is chang
ed. Dodge City is fayorably located
for division and she ought to take ad-
vantage Of this chance TO give her a
tsem On the right direction.

Last Wednesday two men who at
tempted on horseback to cross Mulberry
at the ford on the Jones Plummer
trail narrowly escaped drowning. The
stream was greatly swollen by the rain
and their horses being too heavily load
ed to battle against the force of the
current, sank, swapping the riders,
who, but for the timely aid of parties
on the banks in throwing out ropes,
would have been swallowed up in the
