George Mathews. constable of Speare-
vile. and j. H. Chilcote brought Her
man Krumpleman to Dodge City Satur-
day to have proceedings in lunacy taken
against him before Judge Vanderslice
Krumpleman is a man about 55 years
old, of very powerful build, and for the
last ten or twelve years has been
peaceable resident on his farm about 6
miles southeast of speareville About 6
months ago he became evidently insane,
and at times has been 80 troublesome
that the neighbors were afraid of him.
AS he has no friends near to care for
him it is certainly desirable that he be
cared for by the state. Judge Wander
slice summoned special jury, and YER
dict of insanity was soon found. The
unfortunate man was lodged in Jail, and
will probably be taken to the asylum
J.D. Dent & Co. sold 419 lots in Boyd's
addition to the Dodge City Investment
company for $4,000. This'shows which
way the wind blows. The gas well,
which is now being put down fast as
men and machinery can do the work.
The packing house and woolen factory,
and immense packing establishments
which are being established The sew
eral new lines of railroads, which will be
constructed into Dodge City this season.
All these combined have given Dodge
boom that will more than double the
population and wealth of our city in the
next six months. Eastern capitalists are
aware of this fact, and are quietly buy
ing up all the property they can get at
low figure. Well, let her boom. Good
bye Garden City. Dodge must move on
and leave you.
TO OUR REAL ESTATE MEN.
We would remind our real estate men
that excursion trains will leave from
eastern states April 25, for Dodge City.
Are we going to do nothing to advertise
the superior advantages of our city and
county. The other excursion trains
were flooded with advertising matter
from Garden City and other towns south
and southwest, supported by live real es-
tate men to answer questions and make
inducements to purchase in their partic-
ular locality. Dodge City did not have
a representative or literature of any kind |
showing what Dodge City and Ford
county actually is. We seem too well
with the knowledge of our own
superior advantages. our ever increasing
population, the number of our rail roads
and manufacturing industries, to put
forth the extra effort necessary to 60 out
and bring in capitalists. Our neighbor-
ing cities are not going to sing our prais-
es to these excurslonists Go to Kansas
City board the train and toot your own
horn if you want to be heard and the ad-
of your city appreciated.
Awake thou that sleepest" The mil
leninum for Dodge City is dawning, it is
here. Bestir yourself and take possession
Of the joy and wealth reserved for the
faithful worker.
