Thompson's opera house was crowd
ed last Thursday evening with an ap-
preciatiye audience to witness the first
presentation, in this city, by home
company of the popular tragedy Harold
Hawk" and every one went home sat
isfied that the entertainment was as
good as any one that was ever given in
this city. Waldron Chase, as Harold
Hawk reckless scamp, showed
histrionic ability that few knew he
possessed, and his every act word and
gesture showed careful study backed by
a perfect conception of his part. Miss
Stella Sparks, IS Jessie Grey" had a
most difficult part, but she was equal
to every emergency and showed powers,
that. if cultivated, would unquestion-
ably establish her as popular and sue
cessful tragedienne. As Becky Dimp-
lie, Mrs. \. j. Jones was inlmtable and
with II. ID Records as ''Joe Lobkin,
her lover, boy with big heart and
unquestioned nerve, she afforded much
amusement for the audience. Frank
Chaplin was dignilied and courageous
lover and as Leonard he appreciated
the good qualities of Jessie and he was
not bashful in showing his appreciation.
Mrs. Frank Holmes as Mrs. Grey, "was
dignIfied matron and Burt Aber, and
Dell Sparks were two very ugly-appear-
ing poaehers.
The play was followed by laughable
farce in which l.. Z. Hubbard, Otis
LortOn, NJ. W. Hunter and seven very
pretty young ladies took paIt. Its title
was: Wanted, Thousand Young
Milliners for the Gold Diggings." 1t
was full of ridiculous situations ard
laughable experiences and was much
enjoyed.
The proceeds of the entertainment
were given to the Christian church.

The Earliest Pioneer.

Mr.. Free Sexton, the postmaster at
the Office in the southwest part of Bar
Der county that bears his name, passed
through this county in the fall Of 1854
and camped two nights and one day in
LocRaTd's grove, on the head of Sand
creek, not a great distance from the
present post Office of Lodi. That was
iifty-four years ago. He did not recog-
niZe the spot until two weeks ago when
he was over there attending Memorial
day exercises, though he had frequent
ly remarked that the grove and water
course appeared natural to him. So he
is to-day the pioneer visitor to Barber
county.
Mr.. Sexton enlisted at New Albany,
Indiana, in December 1888 i'm the United
States Dragons, for a term of three
years, under Col. Dodge and 1t. Col
Carney. With his regiment, the LIST, he
went to st. Louis and got horses and
then went to TT. Gibson, now in Arkan-
sas; then west up the Canadian and
Washita rivers to meet Gen. Leayen-
worth at the Rats on Red river; but
the General died and the regiment was
divided, part returning east. Mr..
Sexton, with four companies went on
TO the mountains, spending the summer
of 1884 in the territory now occupied by
New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado.
That fall they started for Fort Leayen-
worth and came by the Salt Plains, on
the Cimarron river and from there
northeast. through what is now Barber
county. up to a point six miles north of
Wichita where they crossed the Arkan-
sas river. In 1885 with his eompany.
Mr. Sexton went northwest, up the
Platte river TO the mountains: and in
1895; .he went up north through the
territory now known as Minnesota and
Dakota. The pay of soldiers was SIS
per month.
Mr.. Sexton was Is years old when he
enlisted and is IS years old now. He
located in Clay county, Missouri, after
quitting the army, and married there;
afterwards, he lived in Illinois, then
Iowa, then Missouri again and three
years ago he came to Barber county
and located.
lie says that all of Kansas was vast
desert in 1884 and that he wei remem-
bers that from the Salt Plains 10 the
Arkansas ryer there was no vegetation
except that along the streams and oc-
eastonally a patch of scrubhy cedars on
the hills or in the canyons. The Medi-
cine river was very small stream.
The timber in Lockard's grove was
much smaller than it is now. In that
grove The soldiers rested in the shade
Wills they washed out their only shirts
IN the clear waters that coursed near
them.

DR.. Aver Convicted.

The trial of Geo. w. Aver on the
charge of perjury occurred in the dis
trict court last Friday and Saturday
and resulted in a verdict of guilty, the
jury recommending TO the court that
the lightest sentence be imposed. r.
a. Cameron appeared for the defendant
and made a gallant sIngle-handed fight
for his client. County Attorney Shan
non was assisted in the prosecution by
". S. Denton.
The offense DR.. Aver was charged
with was making false affidavit affect
ing a claim proved up four years ago
10y b. f. Teal and which busy-bodies
were attempting to get Cancelled. Aver
was not interested in the claim, but his
disposition to make trouble was so
strong that he could not resist the OPP
portunity TO make an affidavit that the
jury. composed of good men. promptly
decided was false.
1t Is generally understood that Aver
has been encouraged and upheld in his
meanness by persons in this community
who should be above such small things;
and it is also limited that some of these
meddlesome people are in fair'way to
be called on to account for their short
comings.
Claimjumping and claim jumpers will
rs certainly be punished in this county
as time lasts, and any individual or Of
fcer who countenances this modified
form of robbery may rest assured that
he VIII meet his reward though his pun
ishment may not be sudden or direct.
There are great many people in this
county who are living IN glass houses.

SO many are attached by the tenderest

such thing rs real consolation to hearts
so shocked, that the bright, sweet life
