order for the fellow who looked like a
dude capitalist. This morning when

scoundrely trick-One that entities him

aged 9 years. The father had loaded
the shotgun with heavy shot for wolves

La Cygne Journal: Richard Rowe re-
Gently drilled through a vein of coal,
from four to five feet in thickness, while
searching for water on his farm four
miles northeast Of Trading Post, in Val
ley township, this county, and a few
miles southeast of La Cygne. During
the past few years coal has frequently
been discovered in different localities
east and southeast Of La Cygne. The
Rowe vein is, we believe, the thickest that
has been reported. The coal under and
about La Cygne must some day be in
great demand. 1t will be needed at p
distance. At present only the local de-
mand is supplied.
Ellis Headlight: d.. Woodry, a tooth
carpenter, of Solomon City, who has
made periodical visits to Ellis during the
past year, left Ellis rather unceremoni-
ously last Saturday afternoon. The doe
tor and a few citizens knew why he left
before he intended to. The doctor is Ga
sanctimonious looking cuss, sing hymns
to the queens taste, and is a good talker
in class meetings, has the reputation OF
being a good dentist; and from mutter-
ings of various parties, we are led to be-
ieve that the gay doctor wanted to add
to his other qualifications that of hber-
tine.
Atehison Champion: H. Pence, who
IL interested In a coal boom at Clyde, has
written TO the secretary of state. an
ouncing that his drill recently Pene
trated a forty inch vein of coal at {
depth Of 1873 feet. He says the water is
strong and much pumping will be neces
sary in sinking a shaft and prospecting
the vein, but he is backed by capitalists
Of grit, and it is proposed to stick Il
the enterprise until it is known whethel
the find runs any distance or is simply 1
pocket.
