A DUEL AT ARMS LENGTH.
The Desperate and Deadly Combat in Which
Two Missouri Men Lost Their Lives.

ST. Louis, Sept. 27.-Information comes here
that bloody tragedy occurred in the village of
Cottonwood Point, in this State, on Saturday.
Two excited strangers got into dispute and
then into rough-and tumble night over the
weight of a bale of cotton They were separated,
but shortly after renewed their fight, and mu-
tually agreed, in order that neither should have
an advantage over the other that they should
clasp their left hands together, and fight only
with their right hands. Thus arranged each
man, with a revolver in his hand, began the
bloody work. Seven shots were exchanged and one
of the men fell dead with four bullets in his head
and breast, while the other sank to the ground
bleeding and dying from two three desperate
wounds

A Qood Canfnra

Last Friday, Sheriff Rigg and Depu-
ty O'Shee, of Kiowa, made a good cap
ture southwest of here about twenty
miles. The sheriff of Mitchell county,
came here IN search of Joseph and Will
liam Huff, charged with killing boy
who had been herding cattle for them
four years ago. The sheriff had learned
that the Huffs were living in this coun-
ty, near Kiowa, and with this clue it
was an easy matter for our law officers
to locate them. Friday morning about
daylight our officials swoped down on
the men, who were in separate dug
out, AID with the aid Of Winchesters
and revolvers secured their men.
1t appears that the Huffs were charg-
ed with stealing cattle in Mitchell coun-
ty, and that the boy they killed was
cognizant of the fact, and to keep him
from telling on them, they Leaf his
bal ns out with a club, and buried the
body. Their exploit was told to a boon
companion, hard case, who soon af-
forwards disappeared from the county.
Lately he returned and told of the oc-
currence. y search was made and the
buried body discovered.
The mother of the Huffs told neigh
Dor of their whereabouts, and the sher-
if of Mitchell county came here and Sc
cured his men.
Sheriff Rigg says the Huffs appeared
to be living on the free love" plan in
their Barber county homes, and he is of
the opinion that they are hard lot.

Aud Nov, A Court House.


Every citizen interested in the well
fare of Barber county will be glad TO
learn that the commissioners this week
bought five lots on which TO erect coun-
ty buildings. They are OH Kansas av-
enue east. Two of the lots are known
as the Priest lots, and are west of Wal
nut street, adjoining DIR. Yant. The
others are east of Walnut, and were
purchased from w. L. Rouse. The two
Priest lots cost $l,O5O and the three
Rouse lots cost SGOO-a total of 81 $50
in county scrip
Walnut street divides the lots, but
this will be overcome by the county
giving the width of the street to the
city and taking the present street in
stead.
The location is as good as any in the
city, it being convenient to the business
center of town, and at the same time
will never be crowded with business
houses. A Jail can he built in the
basement of the court house without
much excavating, the ground sloping
north and east.
When will the court house be built?
That is hard to tell; but we do know
that it should be built at once-or at
least this year. Now the county Offices
are all scattered; there is not a suita-
bic room in town in which to hold court;
there is no Jail here, and the costs the
county must pay for boarding its pris-
oners and the rents it mustpay for very
poor Offices, would in short time pay
for the court house.
Harper county has two court houses,
one at Anthony and one at Harper
Wellington has just completed one of
the finest court houses in Kansas.
Barber county must step into the pro-
cessiOn.

Lots OF Bridges.

The county commissioners this week
took the initiative steps looking to the
building of five bridges over the Medi-
cine river. One Is to be near New XII
owa, at or near the section line between
sections l and SO township 35 range IL.
One near Medicine Lodge. at or within
One-quarter Of mile of line due west
from Kansas avenue. One near Medi-
cine Lodge at or near the west line of
the north half Of section "a, township
81, range IL, the present Kiowa and
Medicine Lodge ford, OF some more
suitable place. within a mile of said
point. One bridge at Lake City, at or
near 80 rods east of the section line be-
tween section ii and Is, township 81,
range IA. One at Sun City, at or near
the half section line of section 9, town
ship 81, range Is. ~
The board ordered that the township
trustees of the township in which
the bridges are located, make examin-
atoms of the points described and esti-
mate the cost of the bridges to be built,
and report TO the county clerk. The
clerk was ordered, OH receiving the re-
ports of the trustees as mentioned, to
publish the result of their action and
give notice that at the regular July
meeting Of the board of commissioners
they viii make appropriations to build
the bridges.
1t is presumed that the trustees viii
do their part of the work at once and in
the most satisfactory manner, and we
believe that If the four trustees wiIfact
together in the matter, and correspond
with regular bridge contractors, that the
five bridges can be built for much less
money than is now calculated on.
a business man, formerly a commits
sioner, this week gave IL as his belief
that the i've can be put up in good shape
for 81 800 ard perhaps less money. BY
August, the railroad viii be completed
here and to New Kiowa, and that would
materially lessen the cost Of the piline
and bridge timber.

Warming To c,aim,rnmperr.


For some time two men have been
dispGting the right to an eighty acres
of land, lying about nine miles norths
east OF Sharon, named respectively,
Alexander and Echols, the latter having
made settlement nearly two years ago.
1t is reported that Alexander jumped
the claim and on last Saturday nine
men called at his house and represented
that they were lost, asking him to di-
rect them Alright. When he came out
a sack was thrown over his head and
his captois proceeded to administer
threshing with switches, each man TAX
ing his turn at Alexander. 1t is said
that he was punished severely and
warned to pull off the claim.
We know nothing of the facts except
as reported to us by a gentleman who
is acquainted with the parties. II AL
exander was in reality cleim-jumper
he deserved his threshing. and it would
be good thing to serve every claim
jumper in the same manner.-Sharon

For Changing Brands.

Last Monday Sheriff Rigg, accom-
panied by j. A. Andrews and his son,
Ed. Buck, Riley Lake and Charley Mel
son, of Lake City, went to a point one
mile north of Elm Mills, this county
and arrested Ben Keyes, Young man
named Chitwood and another named
Norman Young, who were detected
changing the brands on cattle that did
not belong to them. When arrested
the party had alot of about fifteen steers
rounded up, and the brands of three of
these bad been changed while the party
had steer tied ON the ground with a
red-hOt branding iron near by. The
sheriff and his party were concealed
from the sight of the ''rustlers," until
within few rods of them and so there
was no attempt made to escape. All
held up their hands at command, and
the capture was perfect.
Ben Reyes is Young man well known
in Barber county. His father, John
Reyes, is enc of the Oldest ranchmen
in the county, and is an honorable up-
right man and has the respect of every
Glass; He lives near Elm Mills. The
family came here from Ray county Mis-
souri,.
Chitwood came to this county about
a year ago from Colorado, where he was
engaged in herding cattle.
Mormon Young has lived ON a claim
near Elm MIlls-for some time.
Reyes, Chitwood and Young have
been together considerably of late. and
were supposed to be great friends.
The plan of this capture was laid in
Lake City, it appears, several weeks
ago, and as one version of its origin. we
viii repeat the story as given this week
BY party who should know: For more
than year j.. A. Andrews has believed
that the brands of his cattle and a lot
he vas holding for another party, were
being changed, and that the cattle were
being spirited" away. Even close
watch failed to detect the depredators,
