LAND ATTORNEYS AND AGENTS.

OSBORN, MONROE &HENKEL.
Osborn & Monroe do a very extensive
business as attorneys before the U. s
land Office and as land agents. The CO.
partnership between these two men was
formed in the fall of 1883. Osborn
came to Wa-Keeney in the fall of 1879,
and began the practice of law. Literally
speaking, his first good grab OF bread and
butter came with his assistance in the
successful defense of the case OF the State
Va. Thorpe for setting the town on fire.
He, the next year, made a handsome fee
in the defense of Nixon, the murderer,
who is now serving life sentence in the
state penitentiary. Monroe Is rust'Ing
business man, in whose word we have the
utmost faith. He is ready to work for
whatever success he asks. ID: Fl. He lkel
came from Abilene late last year. He Is
an active real estate rustler.
JOHN A. NELSON
Has been in business here ever since
in the summer of 1879. Until the death
of that gentleman last fall, he was associ-
ated with Judge w. H. Fuson as attorney
and land agent. Nelson is the agent fof
the sale of y. P. railway lands in this
county, and he transacts considerable
real estate business aside from this.
MCKNIGHT BROS.
To W. r. Mcknight. who holds forth IN
Wa-Keeney, and his brother, q. r., who
: manages, as their circulars run, branch
Office at Clay Center, is unquestlonaoly
due the credit of distancing all cOmpeti-
tion at this place in anticipating the mag
nitude OF the boom which has been w.t.
messed in western Kansas since early last
spring. In other words, they were adver-
tising all last winter, in one way or an
other, the big inducements which awaited
the immigrant to western Kansas. The
boys have won.
W. 8. McGINNIs
Is a live Young man, who Offices with
Nelson. He is succeeding on the merits
of his labors as land agent who believes

eral years, and was interested in the cat

J.w. CARSON,
As we have taken occasion to remark
before, has the best location for a LAM
business which we know OF in western
Kansas At bis Office, Immediately under
the q. S. land Office, his moet sanguine
ambition for an extensive practice is being
realized, and this in the face Of the fact
