I. p. Olive Killed.

1. P. Olive, who was well known in this
county as dangerous man, and the
owner of an extensive cattle ranch in the
southwest part of the county, is no more
Here is copy of a telegram which was
directed to Sheriff Baker, and received at
this place on Monday night from NJ H.
Beverley, big cattle man in south
western Kansas:
II. P. Olive was killed to-day. Send a
messenger for Mrs. Olive, and we will
preserve the remains until we hear from
her. Answer"
Under Sheriff Escher sent the mes
senger to Mrs. Olive, who was found at
the ranch. She and some OF the children
were in Wa-Reeney early the next day.
Mrs. Olive and two of the boys took the
east-bound train in the afternoon, on the
way to where the body Of the dead hus-
band and father lay.
The most specific intelligence which we
have been able to receive at this place
as to the manner of Olives death is con-
tanned in this associated press telegram:
GARDEN CRY, Aug. 16.-L. P. Olive, a
cattleman of Dodge City, was shot and
killed by Joe Sparrow to-day, at Trail
City, Colorado. Olive is the man who.
several years ago, while sheriff of a
Nebraska county, burned horse thief at
the stake.
The World thinks that Olive was not
sheriff of a Nebraska county. We have
heard that he was implicated in that
state some years ago in matter some
thing like that attributed to him in this
telegram. We have no disposition to
herald these things to the public without
knowing our ground. Our sympathy for
the members of the family who are Left to
mourn his violent taking off is too sin
cere for this.
He was the father of the young man
who fatally shot young Harrison in this
place a few months ago. Young Olive
forfeited bis bond of $1,000, and is at
large.
I P. Olive, we understand, had started
a livery stable at Coolidge, down on the
Santa Fe.

DIR. E. Tilton, father of the editor OF
this paper, was with us Monday, Tuesday
and the most of Wednesday. He was
returning home from his trip to San
Francisco, Cal, where he witnessed the
national encampment of the G. A. r. He
sees a difference between the San Fran
cisco of to-day and that of 1850, when he
was one of the gold hunters. It affords
us pleasure to note his comfortable Cir
cumstances. He is almost as spry to-day
as We are, travels largely, and enjoys it.
