J. fl. Concannon and Miles Pugh, of

are investing in southwestern Kansas.

The Kiowa people are furious because
the railroad company took off the postal

After the arrangements were made

tween Attica and Medicine Lodge, the
party who had the contract between
Attlca and lnyo, was ordered by the de-
partment TO include Enon in his route.
lie refused to longer carry the mail at
the price, and hence InyO and Enon
have both been without mail facilities
for some time. Meanwhile the mail
for Enon has been passing back and

c. y. Bliss, of the Winfield Touring
mills, arrived here Tuesday to buy
wheat for his mill. Frank Severance
took him out among our farmers.
Work was commenced on the brick
yard yesterday, getting it in shape, and
it is the intention of Clawson Il White
Bros. to commence brick making next
week.
From our observation of the wheat
crop along the line of the road between
here and Johnson county, Mo-, we can
truthfully say that southwestern Kan
sas leads all the rest in prospects of a
good crop.
Frank Smith brought to our city last
Saturday two more blOoded imported
studs, one Clyde, the other a Shire
horse. They are the property of the
lIaZeltOn Stock Farm Co., and are beau
ties. Will Brown was trotting them
around yesterday. We are not much of
a hOrseman, but will venture the asser-
tiOn that as fine lot of blooded horses
were never before congregated in one
section in Kansas as can now be seen
in HazeltOn and OH the stock farm.

got through with his venture lie was
clearly of the opinion that this was not
a good field for his operations. Of

and that gentlemen came here to in
vestigate the situation. Prices could
not be agreed on, and the fight has now
commenced. 1t is understood that
the home people offered to give
Mr.. Teasdale $500 to leave town:
or they proposed to sell out to
him at less than actual cost; or they
would all run and get what they could
If Mr.. L. would take his solicitor from
the train. All of these propositions
were rejected. though he did offer to
buy the Lee, Doran & Roberts bus at
cost, but would not buy the Ingraham.

mated to be voted for on the 5tlI Of
