We set sail on our return voyage.
Capt. James was an altered man. lie

temper, and this, with the addition OF a
fine steady breeze, made our lives on
board happy. But alas, we were doomed

was saved. Daylight came after weary

Not a Suicide,

Saturday word was received here
that woman had committed suicide
at OF near Clafin, and county coroner
Shaw was called up there to hold an
inquest over the remains. Later de-
velopments show that the woman, a
Mrs. Bahrt, died of quick consumption,
that being the verdict of the corOners
jury. 1t appears the woman had been
an invalid for some time and had deed
ed her property over to a man and his
wife on the condition that they should
care for her during her life time. When
she died ,onFriday last, some ill-disposed
person started the report that foul play
caused her death, and Mr.. II. y. G.,
Hartman having been made the ad-
ministrator Of her estate, thought it
best 10 have an examination of the
body made to allay all fears resulting
from such report. Consequently the
coroner was summoned.

good accomplished.

recently made great improvements in
their yard at this place, having given
it through overhauling and built

WOOD AS a FUEL.
The value OF Different Kinds as Compared
to Ordinary soft Coal

The value of Different Kinds as Compared
to Ordinary Soft Coal.
In comparing wood with coal as a
fuel it is safe to assume that q pounds
of dry wood are equal to one pound e.
average quality soft coal, and that the
fuel value of different woods is very
nearly the same. That is to say, pound
of hickory is worth no more rs fuel
than pound of pine, assuming both
to be dry. If the value be measured by
weight, it is important that the wood
be thoroughly dry, as each ten per
cent. of water or moisture will extract
about twelve per cent. from its value
as fuel.
1t NAV be interesting in this connec-
ton to give the weight of one cord Of
different woods which are thoroughly
dry. These weights are about as fol-
lows: Hickory, or hard maple. 4,50O;
white oak. $3.50; beech. red oak and
black oak, $3.50; poplar. chestnut
and elm, ?. $50; average of pine, 1000
pounds.
The fuel value of these different kinds
of wood, as compared with coal, is
about as follows: One cord of hickory,
or hard maple. is equal to 1000 pounds
of coal; one cord of white oak. to 1, ,7I5
pounds of coal; one core. beech, red
oak or black oak, TO 1.41O pounds; one
cord poplar, chestnut or elm. to 1.O5O
pounds; and one cord average pine is
equal to 925 pounds of coal. 1t is sup
posed, of course, iii both tables, that
all the wood has been air-dried. The
comparative values of woods not men
toned may readily be approximated
by the reader.-C Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette.

FROM BARTONDALE.

Editor DEMOCRAT:
l see in the Great Bend papers that
Great Bend and the surrounding coun-
try is booming, and the many land
agents are greasing their tongues TO be
ready for the spring emigration. With
all this we don't see anything mention
ed about the north part of Barton
county. except that esquire = Brown
has been to town to see his father, etc. /"
The north part of Barton county is
the best part of the county, the part
that saved the people of Great Bend
from going back to ''their wive'speo-
ple' seven years ago. Think of it!
Fairyiew township alone has wintered
over twelve hundred head of cattle.
and over two hundred head of horses.
besides many sheep and hogs. and has
fodder ample left to have fed half as
many more. Fairyiew, the banner
township in Barton county, Plenty of
water; good land; good schools and
churches, and good society.

OUR people will appreciate the re-
duction which has been made in freight
rates. We clip the following from the
Topeka Capital:
The latest in the freight war east of the Missouri
river cut of one-half cent in frst-class between
ST. Louis and Kansas City, making the frst-class
rate TX cents The latest rst-class to Chicago

frst-class rate. well-known railroad official well
posted on freight matters predicted yesterday that
some one will ''squeal' within day or two I'M
der the interstate law the rate cannot be restored
increased from the present cut without giving ten
days notice; and after the bottom has been reached
the ten days notice has been given, there will be
witnessed remarkable rush in the freight business.

and told Coulter he had nothing against
him, and requested him to leave town
like gentleman. Coulter did not like
this kind of talk, and again whipping
out his revolver struck at LoomiS'
head, but he jerked his head to the
side and escaped the blow. Coulter
struck at him again and managed to
hit him, at the same time pulling the
trigger of his revolver. Tie ball was
intended for Mr.. Nickel, but he ducked
his head and the ball went into the
bank building. LOOmis grabbed Coul-
ter by the wrist and closed IN on him,
when Coulter fired his revolver, the ball
taking effect in his right thigh. LoOmis
then grabbed Coulter's revolver by the
muZZle and held it in such a vice like
grip that Coulter could not use it TO ad-
vantage, although he emptied every
chamber of it.
When LoomiS and Coulter were hav-
ing their tussle, Ezra Loomis, who was
standing by, started up town but was
commanded by Rains to come back,
but failing to heed the command, was
shot in the thigh by Rains. This was
more than mortal man could stand,
and good, law abiding, Christian gen.
tlemen who were eye-witnesseS to this
outlawry, were compelled to go for
to chronicle this sentence, Coulter
and Rains lay dead in their tracks on
Ninth avenue, while JennesS, johnson,
Denning, Borey and Watkins lay scat
tered around on the avenue wounded.

A MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.
A Man Found Almost Dead, Can
not Account For His Injuries.

From the Pawnee Rock Leader we
get the following account of quite a
mysterious affair:
''Just after passenger train No. )
bridge and started on its mad race to-
wards the lights of Larned, Monday
night, the 9th inst, Joe Williams and
his wife, who live one and one-half
feeble cries as if one in pain, and on
opening the door found lying on the
threshold stranger who was badly
bruised about the head and shoulders
and had broken leg. He was taken
into the house and a messenger dis
patched to Pawnee Rock after doctor,
DIR. Daniels went out and found that the
stranger had sustained severe but
not dangerous scalp wound, a few
severe bruises, and his left leg had
been broken just above the ankle. He
remained unconscious during the night,
but on the following day had recovered
sufficiently for the patient watchers at
his bedside to learn that his name was
L. Week. He could not tell how he
came by his injuries. He said he
walked from EllinwoOd to Great Bend,
on Monday afternoon, and took supper
at the latter place about Z p. IN. Hav-
ing lost much sleep he fell into a nap
after supper. and does not remember
anything that transpired afterward un-
til he was aroused by heavy jar and
saw the lights of receding railroad
train. There are many theories in the
case. One theory is, that he was a
passenger on No. 8 and walked from
the train while sleep. His injuries,
however, do not favor his theory.
Had he walked from the train he would
have rolled from the track some dis
tance. The marks where the accident
occurred show blood and hair on the
end of the ties, and also plainly show
where he dragged his body along to
Williamson's house 800 yards from the
track. Some claim it to be a case of
foul play. The facts in the case, how
ever, will perh APPS, always be shrouded
in mystery. The stranger was well
dressed and had a 5000 watch and
chain, some money and Wells Fargo
express receipt for 5000, property re-
ceiveable at Coolidge
LATER.
The injured man is sufficiently re-
covered to state that his home is in
Pueblo, Colo. He had been in Wichita
during the winter and started home
early last week. On the day he was
injured he rode with a farmer from
Raymond to Ellinwood and then pro-
ceeded to the place of accident as above
described. His friends have been in
formed of his misfortune. He will be
removed to the Rock Hotel as soon as
his condition will permit
There are other rumors concerning
the man which may develope something
yet more sensational concerning who
he is, and where from.
