Build q Bridge.

If the people of Medicine Lodge want
bridge over the river at this place they
may as well go to work and get up a
sufficient amount to build it by private
subscripti ons. The county is not able
at this time 10 pay the entire cost of
Such a bridge as would be necessary.
and the probabilities are that the com
missionerS will not make an abpropria-
ton for this purpose during 1856.
The bridge is needed badly now, and
will be from now ON. The people liy-
ing in the western and southwestern
parts of the county are anxious to come
here to trade, and they are only wait
ing for bridge over the Medicine
river. The territory as far west as the
Clark county line would buy lumber and
all their supplies from here if there was
a decent road directly west from the
Lodge and bridge over the Medicine.
There would be Il daily stage line to
Deerhead, Ena, Evansville, Nescu-
tunga and Coldwater, over a direct
western route, if there was a passable
road and bridge over the Medicine.
The territory 20 be supplied from this
point is much larger, in point of popu-
lation, than Wellington and Harper
ever had, and the country is fast set
Ting UP.
Where should the bridge he built? is
the next question. 1t occurs that no
better place could be selected than the
ford directly west of town. That would
be convenient To the west and south
west, and people from the south could
easily get to a bridge at that point when
the river would be impossible at the
southern ford.
Three thousand dollars will build a
good bridge at this point, and there is
no one who will doubt that this amount
can be raised. Without attempting
even TO assess anyone, the following is
submitted as fair and reasonable esti-
mate right here in town:

Mr.. David Mckinney, Of this city

last Monday. lie was born January IL ,

He lived there ten years. and in 1876
came to Barber county, where he has
since resided, aud until two years ago
holding cattle i'll the southwest part of

northern Illinois and Iowa and then in
the vicinity of Fort Gibson and along
the Canadian river. and down To Red

and COmanche Indians. He was
wounded in the left leg and crippled in
the right foot in this campaign. He,
with the other Black Hawk war

from the government.
In 1884 Mr.. Mckinney was married
