The Independent or Labor ticket in
Eagle township was not entirely correct

read: For trustee, l.. 5. McElwain
for justice, Zion Omey; for treasurer,
G.. w. Frisby; for clerk, J. NJ. Prewett;
for constables, a. Baldock and l.. G.
Crabb.
Attlca Advocate: "A letter from
Lake City states that DAVID Roller and
Miss Anna Cuppy were united in mar
riage last Sunday in that city. Miss
Anna is well known here and all will
JON with MS in wishing her long and
happy welded life. Her husband is a
Young man Of worth and energy and

a bet was made in this city on Mon
day that shows which way the political
wind is blowing in Barber county. The
Dean Dros., of Eagle township, bet
their neighbOr. Ira ID. Maxon, 100 acres

Yesterday was the day L. y. Peck
was 10 have taken charge OF the county
ireasurer's Office; but there is some de-
lay in the outgoing treasurer, Capt.
Rogers, getting the books all up in
shape, so it is not certain when Mr..
Peck will 90 in. The Bryson-Peck con-
test case is for trial at the present term
Of the district court.
Elder Embrey preached for the last
time In this city. at the Christian church
sunday night. This week he will move
his family back to Harper county. 1t is
really a misfortune that his secular
matters are in such shape that he can
not give the attention TO the ministry
that he would like to, for he is. i'm our
opinion, the ablest minister that has
ever been stationed at Medicine Lodge.
An effort was made at Kiowa, last
week, to burn the grocery store of J. NJ.
NOithup, the man who shot Billie vii.
son. The flames we're discovered and
put out before any great damage was
done. The KlOwa Herald lntimates
that some people are charging Mr. Nor
thup with setting the fire, and in Ian
guage fOrcible and pointed, the Herald
says that the charge is without founda-
ton.
Ray, the seven-year-old son of Joshua
Jones, who resides II miles southwest
of here, died on Monday from the effect
of a kick by a mule, received last week.
The left side of the little fellows head
and forehead was badly crushed and
DR.. Gillette removed several pieces of
bone from The skull. Notwithstanding
careful attention and nursing infama-
ton set in and the little sufferer sue
| cumbed 60 death.
The arm bone Of n mammoth man
/ was exhibited here last Saturday The
bone was discovered IN Il mound on the
Vaughn place, near Eldred post-onice,
IN the southwestern part Of this county.
| According Co the measurements OF the
bone, as compared with that Of an or
binary man, six feet tall. the mammoth
was - feet tall and must have weighed
/ considerably more than a ton. This
man was evidently the same individual
that used to ride the mastodons over
| this county.
+. ii. Shelly, of Kiowa, was here yes
terday talking up the Kiowa fair, to
occur on the 10th and Goth inst. He is
very anxious to have Medicine Lodge
! take an interest in it. lie promises
that there will be several exhibitions of
speed, trotting, pacing and running.
The w. L. Campbell horse, the one he
bought in California, his trotting mare
and his other fast horses and +. II.
| Shelly's string of trotters, will be on

will have number of good animals there
and i'm fact all of the best horses i'm the
county should take an interest In this
coming fair.

Sterling, he watched the sorghum fac
tories running and made some inquiries
about the business. lie found that
the farmers were getting Sl.5O per ton
/ for cane, heads, blades and all counting:
| that Up there about II tons of cane is
an average yield per acre. At Sterling,
/ only syrup is made, but they expect to
make sugar next year. Mr. Byerleyex-
amined into HutchinsOn's salt wells
and packing houses and thinks that
