this city, yesterday afternoon, May IA,
1889. He was here in attendance at dis
trict court, he being All attorney in sew
eral important cases therein pending.
On the 7th inst. ne was taken sick. but
his case was not at first considered Sc
rious, though he suffered excruciating
pain from the first. He had good nurs-
ing and medical attention, and his wife
was not notified until Thursday, when
she came up from Kiowa. His brother
in law, DR.. Cloud, was telegraphed to
and he came up from Guthrie, Oklaho-
ma, on Saturday. His sister, Mrs.
Cloud, and his father also came up from
Kiowa, and yesterday. his cousin, Hum
phrey Walker, of Fayette, Mo-, also ar
rived from Guthrie. So at the time of
his death he was not among strangers,
but surrounded by his loving relations
and his dearest friends.
Riley Robinson was born at Franklin,
Howard county, Mo-, in January, 1858.
His father was Il. III. Robinson, one of
the oldest and most prominent citizens
of that section of Missouri, connected
with the old families, the Sebrees, the
Walkers, etc. Deceased was educated
at Fayette, Mo-, and read law with
Judge Broaddus, at Chillicothe, Mo.
He entered the practice at Higbee, Bent
county, Colorado, where he, with his
brother, were also interested in live
stock raising. He moved to Kiowa,
four years ago, and since then has been
the leading lawyer of that flourishing
little city. He was recognized by every
one who knew him as an absolutely
honest and honorable man, kind to ev-
eryone and worthy citizen. Christ
mas, last, he was married in this coun-
ty to Miss Annie Maddox, highly cul-
tured and gifted lady who is known and
character. She is native of Central
Missouri, of Randolph county, we be-
lieve. though she was raised and educa-
ted in Howard county. Her loss is ire
parable and here, where she is known,
she has the sympathy of a large circle of
friends.
Besides proud and affectionate ia

timely death, devoted brother and
three loving sisters: Gerard Robinson,
Of Higbee. Colorado; Mrs. A. s. Cloud,

The New Sharon

The indications are that the town of
Sharon, ten miles east of Medicine
Lodge, has been placed on a foundation
that Will be permanent and in time es-
tablish it as the trading center of a rich
territory ten by twelve miles in extent.
The town was laid out by company
that did not possess one important re-
quisite for success, harmony; and, be-
sides, the members of the town company
were not possessed of sufficient means
to carry out the Improvements that they
might have desired. Outside capital
was slow in taking hold, was another
drawback. Now, we understand, Sha-
ron is to blossom as it never did before
The company last week disposed of It's
interest to DR.. r. NJ. Higgins, of Web
ster Groves, Mo-. and ID. Segery, of Cas-
cade, Col. The former is a well known
and active business man who has large
circle or friends and acquaintance,
many anxious TO invest capital in the
growing west. He owns other Barber
county real estate and has never lost
faith in this as combined agricultural
and stock growing district ID. Severy
IS the founder of Cascade, Colorado: he
was for years prominent in the building
and management of the Santa Fe rail-
road and was the main spring in several
towns that afterwards turned out to be
cities. sir. SeYery has made careful
study OF the sharon valley, its rich sub
irrigated soil, its never-failing crop-pro-
ducinC advantages, and has concluded
that the town must be the center of a
-.reat stoekfeeding district, and so he
aas concluded to assist N huiIding up
that place. There are 3l2 lots and As
acres of implanted land connected, with
The town which Severy s. Higgins own.
They also own the Globe hotel. They
expect to offer inducements that any
one in need of a home can well afford to
axe advantage of.

into the fire. But thanks to the stroke of
the dwarf's crutch, the fire did not harm
him in the least. He came out of it safe and
sound, and not hair on his head was even
singed.
"Say, young man," the giant at last asked
Philip, in sheer desperation, "what is the
matter with you?"
81 am friend of the three one-legged
dwarfs, and nobody can kill me, replied
Philip, and no sooner had the giant heard
those words when he gave one big jump
over the mountain, and nobody ever saw him
again.
"Well, 1 never thought that such great
bully as that giant could be so afraid Of
three one-legged dwarfs, Philip muttered
to himself. Then he went into the castle,
where he found the Princess. She was the
most beautiful young lady the horseshoer
had ever seen, and he was pleased to think
that she was to be his wife He took her to
her fathers castle, and there was great re-
joicing throughout the whole land.
The King kept his promise and Philip
married the Princess soon after. He then
gave up his idea Of being horseshoer, be-
cause he thought such a business was hardly
suitable for Kings son-in-law.

A WHOLE FAMILY OF GHOSTS.
They Resent the Intrusion of Strangers In
Their Former Home.


Chicago Inter Ocean,
They were at dinner. She saw the hall
door open, a man come in and pass noise
lessly upstairs. She looked at her host and
hostess inquiringly; they profered no ex-
PLANTATION, but went on eating their soup.
In few moments the mysterious visitor
came downstairs, passed through the hall,
quietly closing the door behind him, de-
parting as unceremoniously as he had come
This time she could not refrain from asking:
"Did you see that man?''
eyes, we saw him." both replied. "We
see him more frequently than we like, Z"
added the host finally, looking at his wife
with a peculiar expression. She mad pushed
her soup aside, and sat nervously lingering
her fork.
There was something very odd about the
circumstance, but no further explanation
was offered, and Mrs. Smith was too polite
to ask. The next morning she heard the
little daughter say, in an agitated tone,
Mamma, there's man in my room, sitting
on the foot of the bed.''
well, there are two women in mine"
was the reply, land they have been there
half an hour"
Both came down stairs into the parlor i'm
mediately, and the lady said to Mrs. Smith:
II shall have to tell you all about it, or
you will think we have taken leave of our
senses. We rented this house two weeks
ago from leading real estate agent in the
city. In day or two after we moved in
people began to appear. As in all stories
of the supernatural, bolts and locks were OF
no avail They opened the doors, however
fast they had been closed, and entered at all
hours of the day and night. 1t did not take
us long to comprehend that they were not
denizens of this world, but unwelcome re-
turns from the world invisible. They came
everv day.
Finally, without giving the agent or our
friends any hint of the situation, we began
to make inquiries in regard to the former
occupants of the house. We learned that
two of the family, the wife and sister, had
died within a day of each other. The hus-
band was telegraphed for. and while hurry
ing home was killed IN railroad accident.
The entire family died in the same week.
1t is apparent that they still consider the
house theirs, and resent any intrusion.
Apparently they have no desire to harm us.
but we cannot endure it, and shall move
out Monday"
This they did. The house has been let
again and again, but no one ever stayed.
1t was torn down two months ago.

THE FIERCE WOLF SPIDER.
Chicago Man Captures a Rare and Re
markabIe Insect.
Chicago Tribune.1

markabIe Insect.
Chicago Tribune.I
1t is not often that wolf-spider is fund
in Illinois, aud it not surprising therefore
that Mr.. R. M. Truax of Morgan Park was
considerably startled the other morning
while trimming his lawn to run across sne
of these ill favored insects. He quicklyIre-
covered from his surprise, however, and
soon had the creature safely imprisoned in
bottle. Upon looking up the records it was
found that the spider belonged to the Ny
gale family, and is dignifed with the Latin
name Tycosa Fatifera, or wolfspider The
specimen in question measures one and one
half inches in length, and its body is COW
cred with a shell-like substance. It's sting
is deadly poison. 1t is native of Northern
Europe, although branches of the Mygale
family are found in the warmer climates
OF America.
Nine. Merriam is authority for the state
ment that the American Mygale attacks
and kills small birds, even going so far as
to drag humming- birds out OF their nest
and devour them. The wolf-spider is the
most ferocious of the Mygales, which, &C.
cording to NJ. Walckenaer, are divided into
Sc species. The question is, how did the
spider get to Morgan Park? Mr.. Truax's
theory is that it was in some way brought
over by gang of Italians who recently ar
rived in this country and are now at work
in Morgan Park.

The giant was amazed, and grew more
furious than ever. In his wrath he took
hold OF the young man and carried him to
deep pond, throwing him right in the
middle. But Philip walked through the
water as easily as any other man would
walk on the solid ground. When the giant
saw that water would not kill the young
fellow either, he built big fire in the yard,
and when the flames arose in glaring heat,
