tober, but as he does not locate it we
will quietly pass it on to our neighbors
While we should be most happy to
give publicity to the announcement
made last week by our neighbOr, the
Democrat, to the effect that Mr.. Abel
Fisher would build mammoth new
hotel on his return from Pennsylvania,
yet candOr and that regard for truth
which always characteriZes us compels
us to say that the said announcement
has no basis in fact. Mr.. Fisher will
doubtless make extensive improve
ments in his present building, enlarg-
ing the dining room and perhaps build
ing new office, but he will not erect
new building this year.
Why go with those golden locks of
hair fluttering in the breezes through
the holes in your hat, tempting the
Osages, MOdOcs, Go-ShoOts. and other
evil spirits to lift your scalp at any mo-
ment, and all times, when you can get
full protection in whole crowned hat
for five cents at McClure's? Mac says
rather then see you running such risks
where calalnitieS dire and dreadful may
befall you and yours at any moment,
disturbing the peace and quiet of the
community, he will give you a hat
There is nothing small about this firm
except their feet and profits, as they
will demonstrate to your satisfaction if
you will only call on Courant.
Mr.. A. B. Isaac, of Marmaton, was
in town Wednesday and on er parte
showing before Judge Allison q re-
straining order was issued forbidding
VIM. franklin ct. al. from blowing,
building upon or in any way exercising
ownership over the west half Of the
northwest quarter of sec. Is, 25, %.
This land belongs to Mr.. Isaac but Mr..
Franklin leagued it year ago, prom
ising, however, not to do any work on
it until the title was finally established.
Last Saturday Mr.. Isaac happened
near the land and saw Mr.. F., assisted
by squad of his neighbors, busily |
breaking up the sod. On being remon- |
strated with, he replied that the Brew
er decision had settled the question and |
there was no need of waiting longer.
Mr.. Isaac thought differently, howev-
er, and so had him restrained.
The time in Judge AllisOn's court |
last Monday afternoon was occupied |
with an inquiry into the mental con-
dition of George s. Miller young man
living with his parents near Moran.
The testimony in the case developed
the following facts: Several years ago
the boy was hurt about the head, and
two years ago he fell from a wagon re-
ceiving another severe injury upon the
head. Since this last accident he has
shown signs of mental de-
and has at times been very
violent and quarrelsOme. Last Sunday
night when he returned home from
church his parents noticed that lie was
excited and angry andasked him what
wac the matter. He did not reply, but
when his brother came i'm he at once

when he ran to drawer, got a large
bread knife and started after him.
The father managed to keep out of his
way although the boy once got close
enough to cut him slightly on the ,
high. In the mean time his brother
