a young lady in this city was out
riding not long ago. when the tire came
off of one wheel; then a felloe dropped
then two or three spokes broke and let
the vehicle down. She described the
accident to lady friend about thus:
I'VE were going along in trot, when
the iron thing around the wheel next to
me came off, and then one of them
wooden things, inside of the iron thing
/ fell off, ard then the long wooden pegs
began jabbing into the ground, then
more Of the wooden things fell off, and
before we cound stop the long pegs
began to break, and the first thing we
knew, the wheel had gone into ever
lasting smash" We are glad to add
that no one was hurt.
Quite a sporting event occurred at
Lake City, last Saturday afternoon, at
D o'clock. a young man named Kerns
who lives at Lake City, and J. c. Ham
mack, noted sprint runner and tele.
graph operator, of Tamaroa, H., were
the contestants. The race was for $3.50
a side and gate receipts, and the dis
t2nce was fifty yards, beth men starting
even when Reub. Lake gave the signal,
by counting three and dropping his hat.
! IIammack led off and remained in the
lead for twenty-five yards, when he un-
fortunately stepped in a hole, and this
gave Kerns an advantage that enabled
him to win the race by three feet 1t
attracted big crowd, and all Lake City
turned out to witness the race.
Last Friday night was dark as Ere
bus. 1t just suited the purpose of
Messrs. Denton and Overstreet. They
preferred the darkness to light, lest
their evil deeds should find them out.
They caught a skunk in a steel trap,
and bymeahs of long rope, hauled the
skunk all over the neighborhOod where
Mr.. Denton lives. They only stopped
at each house long enough 10 thorough
I ly perfume the premises. They enjoy
ed the fun immensely. An hour after
ward big rain came up. causing the
gulch to overflow, and Mr.. Denton was
/ seen plupging around in the raging tor
rent. One of his neighhOrs asked him
what he was doing there at that time of
night, ana he replied that he was look
ing after his fence. The neighbor said
nothing, but he thought then, and
thinks yet, that Mr.. ID. was trying to
wash the perfumery out of his clothing.
The two gentlemen mentioned killed
five skunks that night.
Last fall a man representing himself
to be DR.. Bohannon, and claiming sew
eral years experience in a Nashville
medical school, came TO Medicine
Lodge and entered on tie practice of
medicine with DR.. Moore, of this place.
This first and probably the only prac-
tice he had while here, was as an ex-
pert witness, in the case of Meinke VS..
Morse, and as he was such willing
witness the justice demanded his evil
dence as physician. The DIR"
asked a leave OF absence until he could
go to. his Office and return, which was
granted. lie failed to return, but as
DR.. OlInger's certificate was missing.
and as DR." Bohannon registered with
the county clerk the same day, the in
ference was very PLAIN. In a short time
the DR." left, and some people mourn
ed the loss of misplaced confidence and
cash. 1t now transpires that "Dr.
Bohannon" married lady at Frisco,
Kan, and induced her to sell her home
and move to Indiana. While at Frisco
the DR." was preaching, and held a
preachers certificate from Tennessee;
also physicians certificate, and some
of his letters were addressed to DR.. b.
harmon, at Terre Haute, where they
stopped. He deserted his wife. and
took her trunk, containing all her
clothing, with him; also some clothing
from student that roomed adjacent
to them. He was arrested at Camden.
He is a daisy.
DIR. Lockwood made a microscopic
examination of the sheet, shirt and
blanket submitted to him by the sheriff,
which articles are supposed to have
once belonged to McQuinn. He sent
portions of each to Prof. Cragin, who is
spending his summer vacation on a
claim near Sun City. Prof Cragin is
professor of chemistry in Washburn
College at Topeka, and has a very pow
erful microscope. He is competent
authority on microscopic subjects. His
