Joe Ringer and family will leave this
week for Arizona, where they expect TO
establish home. Joe has been cow
man on this range for many years and
it appeared to him that the county was
getting crowded too much, and so he
decided to hunt new range.
w. II. McCague is doing a heap of
fXin' up on his lots In the north end
aud people can't help but ask what its
all for. lie has put out roses and for
get-me-nots. and other nice shrubbery
and he has been seen figuring on the
cost of house. Mac moves in a mys-
ferrous way, his wonders to perform.
The Sun City Union objects to Com
missioner Standiford attending to any
business out of the cOunty-at Engle-
wood, for instance. Just the same, his
residence is here; and nearly all of his
interests are here. He has a right to
run a store anywhere, and as long as
his constituents do not object the Union
should not.
1t is understood that the Bryson Peck
contest case, appealed from the contest
court, will be reviewed in the district
cOurt at the June term. 1t should have
been settled at the February term; but
for some reason it was not. Until this
case is disposed of, it is not known who
will be county treasurer after October
1st.
Anthony Republican: "Hon. 7. A.
McNeal and G.. w. Ellis, of Medicine
Lodge, were in the city Tuesday. Tom
is feeling the pulse of the people as to
his candidacy for the state senatorship
Of this district. While here the gentle
men also inspected our magnificent
school building aud new opera house
with view of taking pattern from the
same for like buildings to be erected in
their city. They compliment them in
the highest terms"
Elder Embrey entered regularly on
his duties as pastor of the Christian
church of this city, last Sunday, preach
ing morning and evening. He is an
entertaining and instructive speaker
and the oftener one hears him, the bet
ter they will like him. He is a ripe
scholar and does not have to kill time
with flights OF imaginary oratOry or
death-be stories. He never talks but
he says something and he should have
good audiences.
For want of time and owing to the
fact that several of the characters could
not be present to rehearse, the presenta-
tion of the play Saratoga" has been
indefinitely postponed. 1t appeared
that the gentlemen who were to take
part were the busiest men in town and
they could not be corralled together
any evening. However, Mrs. o Bryan
has in contemplation an entertainment
! for the benefit of the Baptist church
that will soon be announced, and the
public may be assured that it will be a
creditable affair.
Il.
farmer and democrat OF Nlppewalla
township was in Friday and reported
that the crops in his neighborhood
could not look better. He came from
Polk county, Missouri, and therefore
knows how to appreciate the rich and
fertile soil of Barber. by the way, MIR.
Burns is one of the men the democrats
should not overlook in distributing the
nominations for Office. He is another
Judge Stevens when it comes to run
ming for office, for he never gets beaten.
Kiowa Journal: Last Friday Sheriff
Stevens was in the town with the wo-
man who passed in Seneca, Mo-, as the
wife of Ellis ID. Vroom, the man found
murdered west of town. They were
here for the purpose of identifying the
remains. The body was disinterred and
fully identified by the woman as Vroom.
She does not claim to have been VroOm's
wife, but says they were to have been
married in July. She also claims that
her mother, the woman now under ar
rest at Medicine Lodge, was with her
at Arkansas City when Vroom and
Payne started west"
Last Sunday, Miss Rose Lacy, of this
city, and Miss Maggie Clement, of Sun
City. who is visiting at Judge Lacy's,
got into a buggy VIM. Kiger had hitched
in front of the house, for the purpose
of taking little drive abound town.
When returning, on Washington ave-
nue., the horse was going too fast for
them and, woman like, both commenc-
ed pulling on the lines. The result was
that the buggy was overturned and the
ladies thrown out on the hard ground.
Miss Clements arm was dislocated at
the elbow, but Miss Lacy was not hurt.
The horse ran back to Spring street,
south to Pearson's and then east into
the creek, smashing up the buggy and
breaking the harness.

Lisle sold this place TO the company
that proposes putting in gypsum

standing is verified by the plaintiffs.
