Mysterious Disappearance

Last March, near Ashland, Clark
county, Geo. Warwick, a young man,
was killed by Fred Spencer, who had
lived in Harper county. Spencer es-
cared, but lately was captured in Tex
as and was to have had preliminary
examination at Ashland last week.
Hatfield Warwick, brother Of the de-
ceased, came out from Warren county,
Indiana, several weeks since and stop
ped in Harper county, at the house Of
A. Harper, where his brother had board
ed, and endeayOred to hunt up evidence
looking to the conviction Of Spencer.
Two weeks ago Warwick went to ASH
land, and one week ago last Wednesday,
on the 10Th ult., he returned to Cold
water for the purposeof securing the le-
gal services Of Attorney Cook. He was
anxious to get back to Ashland as soon
as possible and at 10 O'Clock Wednes-
day night, ordered his team ready tor
2o'clock, hours later. Since then
nothing has been heard Of Warwick.
He had money on his person and the
fear is that he has been foully dealt
with. He told no one Of his intention
to leave COldwater, no one knows Of
any reason for his sudden departure
at midnight, and the case is involved in
mystery. He is described as being SO

The first train Of cars that ever cross
cd the Medicine river passed oyer the
bridge near New Kiowa, Barber coun-
ty, last Monday, August 3, 1855, it be-
ING construction train. Yesterday,
August, 9th, the passenger trains COM
menced making regular trips over this
road to New Kiowa, and this road com.
pleted Barber county will be connected
with the civilized world by rail and tel
egraph. The tram will arrive at New
KiOwa at 3:20 .. m and will leave there
at 1880, an hour earlier thar it leaves
Attica.
While the road from here to New XII
owa is much better than the road to
Attica, 1t is likely that the latter place
will remain the station for Medicine
Lodge. The distance is nearly the saline;
but In the matter Of passenge fares
and freight rates Attica will necessari-
ly be the cheaper lpoint; and then, an
hours difference in time each way will
be no small matter. We would be glad
to see New Kiowa the station for Medi-
cine Lodge until our own road lis COM
pleted, this fall, but must think that for
the reasons given, that Attica will con-
tinue to handle our freight and pass
engers.

Several companies Of soldiers are yet
stationed at Crisfield and two cOmpa-
nies are camped on the Territory line
in the southwestern part Of this county.
Pickets are stationed along the line and
no Indians dare approach. All this
sounds like the worst kind of foolish
ness. The Cheyennes and Arapahoes
have no intention of going on the war
path, and no reasonable person can see
any need for soldiers in Barber county.
Their presence is an actual disadvan-
tage to the county, and the best thing
that could be done would be for them
to be ordered away.
As long as there appears to be a nee.
essity for the military here, timid spec.
ulatOrs will not come here to invest.
Though the county is not now and has
not been in the least danger of invas-
ion, the reports sent out have been of
great injury to the country. All we
want is to be let alone, and the pioneers
and cowboys of Barber county will
agree to take care of all the Indians
that may come here.

Drug Stores Taxed.

Drug storesin the city must hereaf.
ter pay an occupation tax Of SIS per
month, as will be seen by the provisions
Of ordinance No. 90, published in this
issue. Prior to the enactment Of the
amended prohibitory law, the two drug
stores then doing business here, paid
the city a "line" Of $3.50 per month,
one half the amount paid by the sa-
looms; but lately the drug stores have
paid no license or line, though they
were reaping rich harvest in filling the
applications for scientific or medical
purposes. The council argued the mat
tcraDd concluded that the drug stores
wonld Willingly contribute $l5 per
month to the city. There are four stores
now and another will start next week.
