olXJy-Unree ueIegates, OUT of possi-
BILE sixty-nine, were in attendance upon
the republican county convention
which convened in Aberdeen at 12 M,
Monday, larger representation than
was generally anticipated, and the pro-
ceedings throughout were more har-
monious and more generally satisfac-
tory than has been the case in similar
gatherings for considerable length of
time. S. HI. Jumper of Aberdeen and
II. A. Tice OF Columbia were elected
temporary chairman and secretary re-
spectiyely, and after appointing COM
mittees on credentials and permanent
organization the convention took re-
cess until 1:30.
Upon reassembling the committee on
permanent organization reported in IA
yor of making the temporary organiza-
ton permanent, which recommendation
was adopted, as was also the report of
the committee on credentials.
On motion the chairman appointed a
committee of five to present the names
of delegates to the state convention,
which resulted in the selection of the
following:
S. H. Jumper, c. W. Startling and j.
H. Hauser, Aberdeen; j. B. Richards,
Frederick; G. j. G. Macleod, Warner;
w. G. Allen, Groton; W. T. Steere, Ron
dell; r, w. Jones and Fl. Tice, Colum-
bia; T. E. Camburn, Riverside; Major
Moore, Ordway.
j. @. A. Braden was nominated for
state senator by acclamation ana after
considerable balloting the ticket @as
completed as follows:
SenateJ. O. A. Braden of Aberdeen
and j d. LAWN of Columbia.
House,. T. DOVE Of Frederick, j.
ID. Mason of Bath, w. C.Allen of Gro
ton, and j. L. Carlisle OF Carlisle.
County Judge &C NJ Mott of Aber-
deem
The delegates from the Frederick
commissioner district nominated j W.
Towers by acclamation, there being no
opposition. In the Warner district the
delegates had rather more excitement
and after standing q tie for an hour or
so between nj. Boardman and G. j. G..
Macleod, they finally threw both over
board and nominated w. /. Steere of
Rondell as compromise candidate.
The ticket as whole is very fair
one and will no doubt be victorious at
the polls.

The democrats Of the territory are
making an effort to organize, which
may result iii good, as two parties are
necessary in any county.
Our farmers are highly elated oEer
the advance in the price of wheat, and
in consequence are hauling to market
of this cereal all they have time and
teams to transport.
We have no encouraging report to
make in regard to the mnch talked
of railroad which was to run on the line
between Brown and Sphinx counties
Most likely the enterprise died a
booming"
We notice by the Sun that j. X.
Chandler has bought out the interest of
his partner, Wagner, in the steam
threshing machine and is now sole
owner, which insures our farmers good
work and fair dealing
VIM. Bickell with his steam threshing
machine and full crew is doing the
work on the Churchill rancho.
A good job is being expected which
viii be finished to-day, producing be-
tween five and six hundred bushels of
wheat.
Angus Bell Jr., son of Daniel Bell, is
now seriously i'll with fever, and for a
time he was considered in danger. He
was intending to commence his coll
legiate course at Groton last week but
was prevented by sickness. We earn
estly hope for his restoration to health.
For the past ten days we have been
reading, analyzing and digesting our
new constitution and on the whole. we
think it b fair document, though there
are some faults. For instance, we do
not like the idea of electing all our Of
ticers by plurality vote, or of one voter
casting as many votes for one represen-
tation as there are candidates in any
county for that Office. We look for 4
light vote on the constitution On the Sd
oil next month, but hope the result will
voice the sentiment of our citizens.

The Fourth.

So far as heard from, the Fourth was
appropriately observed in Barber coun-
ty. The day was pleasant, throughout,
the people were in good spirits over pros
pective crops, and prosperity generally
and felt that there was something to re-
jOice over.
At Medicine Lodge there was no
formal celebration and about half of
the population went from home to ccle-
brate. Several families had picnic in
the grove; the ladies of the Christian
church gave an ice cream supper, and
at the rink was game of polo on roll
ers. The usual shooting and noise was
noticeable during the day and night.
At Lake City the largest celebration
was held. The occasion was general
celebration, free dinner and bridge dedi-
cation. The citizens of that communi-
ty having built, by private subscription
the first bridge over the Medicine river,
crowds came from miles around to show
their appreciation of the enterprise.
No less than thousand persons par
ticipated in the celebration. The cor
net band from this place furnished the
music. Every family present took well
filled baskets and every one contributed
to the general pleasure of the day.
Judge Lake was the orator of tue day.
and his speech was mass of valuable
information relating TO the county, the
cost of the bridge, etc. He was follow
ed +. Z. Caruthers, w. l.. L. Burney
and Geo. . NJ. Buckner, of this city and
Maj. GiOn, of Laayenworth. These gen.
tlemen spoke briefly, and thus pleased
the audience. In the evening dance
was held in the grove and a grand pyro-
technic display occurred from the bridge.
Altogether, the day was most pleasant
ly observed at Lake City.
Sun City was not far behind. Noted
far and wide for their hospitality its
citizens had a most enjoyable celebra-
tion, with a SPLENDID band of their own,
plenty to eat and drink, lively young
people, and dead oodles'' of patriot
ism. the Fourth was a big day there.
j. w. McNeal, of this city and Capt. b.
p. Aver were orators.
Hazelton and the Kiowas Joined in a
celebration in beautiful grove near
Old Kiowa, and had good time. The
orator of the day was Rev. j. Baxter
Landreth. The Hazelton cornet band
furnished the music.
Elm Mills carried out a good pro-
gramme. DR.. Amos johnson, of this
city delivered a speech which called for
many compliments. The spread at
Elm Mills is reported to have been very
fine. s,Li t -GtJ E. &N-7l--
Mingona had a fair crowd and lots of
fun. A big dance there in the evening
caught many of the Lodge folks on their
way home from Lake City, and besides
ever rone in the the, neighborhood who
could get there, was on hand.
Reports from all the other points in
the county are to the effect that the
day was success.

1t will not be a surprise to the people
of this community to learn that already
Comanche county has been sued by the
holders of the bonds of that county.
Such action was expected as soon as II
was known that the county was to be
organized under the old name with its
old Boundaries. The first suit institut-
ed, is for SIS, 900, and is brought in the
United States circuit court of Kansas
by Chas. Edward Lewis, to recover that
amount of unpaid interest on the bonds
of the county which he holds. The pa
pers. were sent here this week to Dept.
u. s. Marshal Weidner and he went to
COldwater and obtained service on the
county commissioners and the clerk.
1t is understood that this is but the be-
ginning of extensive litigation that will
be instituted against Comanche county
at once. Hanging over that county is
a debt of about $4,000 principal bear
ing ter per cent interest, ard this inter-
est now amounts to as much as the
principal. The bonds were no doubt
fraudulently issued. but they are now
in the hands of innocent purchasers,
and there is no recourse for the county
but to pay them or compromise by is
suing new bonds in their stead. Barber
County tired every way known to the
legal fraternity and could not get rid of
paying the fraudulent debt that hung
over it; and Comanche county may as
well prepare to take its medicine. In
Barber county the burden of taxation is
not oppressive, for we not only have
much real estate that pays taxes, but
We have personal property that bears
its share. In Comanche county the
people have practically driven the cat
tie and live stock out of the county,
and where, if they had not adopted herd
law, they might have made The vast
herds assist in paying the heavy taxes
that must be levied, the real estate must
now bear the entire burden. tHn
We hope our young sister on the west
may be more fortunate than we have
been; that she may be able to defeat the
seheming bond holders, but we greatly
fear that the Federal courts will do as
they have in every state, favor the bond.

ing to level 1t at Shipman, the latter
knocked his arm and it was discharged
between the horses. He raised the pis.
tol a second time and flre,l, the ball
passing through Shipmans clothes and
grazing his side. Shipman's horse be-
came entangled with the. four horse
team and <hrew him. His companions
supposed he was killed and a GENERAL
firing commenced. When it ceased,
both the Watts were discovered dead.
The parties engaged in the affair re-
turned to camp. and said nothing of
the occurrence to others at the camp:
but the next day Shipmaii and Dyer
came TO town, notified the officers of
what had occurred and gave themselves
up.
The next day the coroner went to the
scene and commenced an inquest which
was concluded In this city a few days
later.
AT the first trial the evidence estab-
hslied the above state of affairs. Ring
er admitted to having shot the younger
Watts, claimed it was in self defense.
and the result shows that ten jurors
looked at it in that way.
In the first as in the trial this week.
Judge Howe, county attorney, and G..
M. Hartin, represented the state and
Ellis & Ellis and E. Sample and Hon.
f. +. Gillette appeared for the defense.
After the trial had commenced, Mr..
Martin withdrew from the case and two
new attorneys; Burney IL Mcdonald;
have been assisting in the prosecution.
Last year great difficulty was expe-
.rienced in getting jury, the case hav.
ing obtained great netoriety; but this
time only 40 jurors were examined, and
this required but few hours. Those
selected were:
c. F. Goforth, Richd. Young, John
Woolums, II. G. Jennings, w. r. Kline,
c: ID. Stewart, r. E. Grant, 1. A. Bonn
bly,, c. G. Teagle, G. G.. Kline, A. A.
Bell, W. A. Galbeth.
The evidence at this trial was much
the same as at the first trial, though the
defense only introduced one witness,
j. II. Ringer. The evidence was all in
yesterday afternoon, when court ad-
journed until this morning, in order to
prepare its instructions to the jury, and
these were delivered this morning, and
at the time of going to press, the case is
being argued by the attorneys.
The general opinion is that the jury
will not agree.
