Something Entirely New.

1t may surprise many of our peo-
pie to learn that the state of California
is supplying clothing for Barber county,
yet this is a fact. An extensive estab-
lishment on the Pacific coast, purchas :
ed vast sheep ranch and graded up
their flocks to the highest perfection.
On their ranch they established an i'm
mense WOODEN mill, and here they man
ufacture the raw material into the fin
est cloth. They have also established
clothing mandatory of their own,
and from this turn out goods superior in
quality and cheaper in price than can
| possibly be made i'll the east The en-
ergetic firm of Standiford, Youmans Il
| Eldred, of this city learned of the exist
ence of this California industry and in
duced the establishment to send man
here with samples of the clothing made;
and as result of their examination,
they ordered a very large bill, which is
now being opened out. 1t is claimed
for these goods, and with reason, that
they are superior in quality and contain
no shoddy, for the raw wool where they
are made is cheaper than shoddy; that
this clothing is made in the west, by
western men to fit western men, and
that it is far more durable than the
stock sent here from the east. These
goods are warranted to be better; to fit
better: TO look better, than any line of
clothing ever brought to this city. The
California clothing may be found in
the cheap or most expensive varieties
clothes good for the farm or range or
suits fit for wedding outfits, and all in
termediate grades. Don't be satisfied
until you have called and personally in
spected the new and complete stock of
California clothing to be found at Stan
diford, Youmans & Eldred's, Medicine
Lodge. 4S

While here this week Engineer Nc
Coy, OF the SIX. railroad made care
full examination of the land on either
side of Elm Creek, south of town, with
the view of ascertaining just how far
the overflow extended on the track of
the proposed railroad. He decided to
build the bridge across Elm creek 24O
feet longer than was at first intended
and throw up heavy embankment for
the grade. He does not deem it advis-
able to put in a long line of trestle
work, but thinks solid embankment
will do as well. He was much pleased
that the food did not reach anywhere
near the vicinity of the depot and stock
yards grounds.

One Year Arn

1t was one year ago yesterday, (April
3Oth, 1884 since the terrible tragedy re.
sulting in the deaths of E. w. PAYNE
and George Geppert occurred in Medi-
cine Lodge, An armed party of four
men rode into Medicine Lodge, and
three of these dismounted and going
into the Medicine Valley bank for the
purpose of robbing it, shot down and
instantly killed George Geppert, the
cashier and mortally wounded E. w.
Payne, the president, causing his death
twenty-four hours later. The murder.
ers were Henry Brown and Ben. Wheel
er, marshal and deputy marshal OF
Caldwell, Kansas, assisted by John
Wesley and Billie Smith, two men; who
had been working on the range.
The would-be robbers attempted to
escape by going south Of town, but
were, in less than lhree hours surround
ed in canyon in the gypsum hills,
captured and returned to this city.
That night large crowd of citizens
evelpowered the guards around the
Jail and were in the act of putting ropes
on the necks of the party, when Brown
and Wheeler, whose shackels had been
mysteriously removed attempted to
break away. Brown was shot down and
died before he had gone fifty feet, his
body being riddled with bullets. and
Wheeler was stopped before he had
gone more than two hundred yards.
He and Smith and Wesley were then
taken to an elm tree east of town and
hung until they were dead. Their
bodies were buried the following Fri
day, after being fully identified.
The remains Of E.W. Payne were bur-
led on Friday, May I'd. and those of
George Geppert were inferred on Sun
day, May 4th.
For two weeks the town was draped
in mourning, and not an hour of the
day yet passes when the names of these
two honored and respected citizens are
not mentioned in this community.
Their deaths will not be forgotten
and their memories will ever be cher
ished by every citizen of Barber county.
What pleasure it would be to them
to see the Medicine Lodge of to-day To
see the enterprises which they inaugur-
ated completed; to see the prosperity
they predicted for the village grown
even beyond their most sanguine expec-
tations. This cannot be; but how pleas
ant if il could.

AT the conclusion of his remarks,
which were listened to with the strict
est attention throughout their delivery,
Elder Quick briefly addressed the as
semblage in remarks appropriate to the
occasion.
Nearly all of the survivors who were
caught in the terrible flood were pres
emit, and were much affected during the
services. After the services closed, a
considerable portion of the congregation
pressed to the front seats where the suf-
ferers were, and cordially shook their
hands, and wished them God-speed on
their journey. The scene was affecting
and not dry eye was to be seen when
the flood survivors embraced each other
and then parted to pursue their differ
emit ways.
Frank McCalister has large deep
pond where his oats field was. He will
stock it with fish.
The heavy rain last Friday caused the
remaining residents OF the bottom to
pull out for dry land.
Something must be done to divert
Elm creek from its present channel
through Spring creek.
The bridge across Elm creek at this
place could be put in repair at small
expense now; but the matter should not
be delayed.
The meanest man lives southwest of
town. He charged a sufferer 81 for
taking care of horse that drifted to
his place with the flood.
There is large spotted sow at the
Tom Knight place west of town, which
the owner can get by calling on Lee
Bradley.
Southeast of here one man who did
not loose anything, has been making a
business Of hauling posts and lumber
from the river bottoms. He will be
called on soon.
Bunk Ward has purchased lot east
OF Swank's addition from the Arm
strong estate and is moving his house
there. HilOry Weidner has also bought
a lot near them.
Sheriff Rigg and John Upperman
found Judge Shepler's Winchester south
of town, in the highest. part of the bot
tom, and so the old part of the Shepler
house must have gone straight south
and not around with the main current,
as the gun was in that part of the house.
\ party composed Of J. T. Mozart,
of Harvey county: a stockman named
Hughlett, of o-Man's-Land, and Fred
Peterson and Andrew Hansen, of Ra-
cine, Wisconsin, were camped in the
bottom and saved themselves by climb
ing trees. Their names were not pub
lished last week.
Another party of three, named Jones
father and two sons-of Kentucky,
who were on their way to Comanche
county, went through the flood, and
were also saved by clinging to trees.
These, then, with those already men
toned must include every one who was
in the Elm creek bottom east of town
nearly hundred persons, twelve of the
lot being drowned.
