The old Rome" is no more, the
large letters-an old land mark were
hast week obliterated by the brush of
the painter. This building was built in
the palmy days of the cowboy, the
cowgirl and the saloon. But the in
roads of civilization have driven
them away. leaving us the boot.legger
and the joint. During the cattle
roundups the proprietors of the
"Rome" made lots of money, but it
went as easy as it came. Last week
man who was here in the early days
remarked as he stood on the front
steps of the court house: 1.-The only
old land mark I can see is the old

Butt in TrOubIe.

On Sunday Jake Butt, a horse
trader, well known in this vicinity,
was arrested, charged with taking a
horse from a man in Ellinwood, by
force. 1t seems as near as we can
learn that Butt had traded a horse
with one of the Barngrover boys in
Ellinwood, and he claims that he was
to receive $500 boot or the horse
back, and went to that place Sun
day morning to close the bargain,
and in going there and not receiving
the boot unfastened the horse from a
lariat and brought it up and put it in
pasture, southeast of this city.
Soon after an officer from Ellinwood
came up with a warrant, charging
Butt as above, stating that he pulled
a revolver and took the horse away,
contrary to the order of Mrs. Barn
grover. With the aid of Sheriff
Wilson he was arrested.

Bound Over.

At the preliminary examination OF
the men, Tom Stager and Nose Con-
nor, arrested at Larned a few days
ago for burglary, they were bound
over to the district court, and their
bonds fixed at $1,000 each. Suf-
fcient evidence was obtained against
them to prove that they were guilty
of numerous thefts which have been
committed in and around Larned the
last few months. The mysterious
brass checks, with numbers, were
found to have been stolen from the
new Levy Grand hotel, to be opened
this week.

The Chicago, Santa Fe & Califor-

tension of the Atchison road, is com
pleted to Chicago, and commences on
Sunday, April 18th, to run through
trains from Kansas City, Topeka,
Atchison and st. Joseph to that city.
The trains of the new line will be of
the Vestibule pattern, of which SO
much has been said in the East, and
will give the people of the West an
opportunity to dip in and enjoy this
much Wanted luxury. The idea of
popluarizing the line with travellers
has induced the Santa Fe to make a
notable innovation connected with its
Vestibule Trains no extra charge
will be made. All eastern lines
charge extra for the additional ac-
commodation.
Our people attending the Repub
lican Convention in june will have a
chance to test the new line.
