The Globe-republican., 1890-02-19

Marshal TarbOx requests US to say
through the columns of the GLOBE that
the dogs must 60. We say amen. When
human lives are endangered by these
worthless ours it is high time that their
owners either muzzle or chain them, or
have them shot. One dog 10 the square
mile is plenty. We hope Mr.. Tarbox
will carry out his good intentions.
The five year old daughter of Mr..
Mitchell. of Fifth avenue, was severely
bitten by dog Saturday afternoon. The
child was at play outdoors when it was
attacked by the dog, its arm being torn
from shoulder TO wrist in most fright
full manner. The little one was car
ried into the house more dead than alive,
but at this time is doing as we'll as could
be expected. The dog belonged to a Mr..
Hassler. and was dreaded by the whole
neighborhoOd on account of his Vicious
ness. Marshal Tarbox promptly shot the
canine.
AT meeting of citizens held at the
office of the Pioneer Loan & Trust Com
pany yesterday afternoon. action was
taken in regard to furnishing matter for
publication by the Kansas Immigration
Bureau, in the interest of Ford county.
Geo. F. Mckinney was made chairman,
and B. F. Milton. secretary, of the meet
ing. The committee appointed to pre-
pare and forward to Wichita an article
faithfully describing Ford county and its
resources. are L. A. LAUDER, w. F. Petil-
lon, w. J. Fitzgerald. l.. K. Soper and
B. F. Milton.
The following citizens of Dodge
City have been granted patents: J. F.
Frankey, game board and copy holder.
Fred Gardner and J. w. Moore, railway
switch. The copy holder on which Mr..
Frankey has secured a patent is very
convenient device, and though it is in
tended more especially for type writing
machines it can also be used for the same
purpose in many other ways. The rail-
road switch patented by Messrs. Gardner
and Moore is said to be a grand invention
and much safer than the old one. The
switch can be manufactured by the ma
chinist at the railroad shops, and also
saves from thirty to fifty feet of rail,
which fact alone will insure its adoption
by railroads. Mr.. Gardner informs US
that he will have one of the new switches
in operation in the Santa Fe yards at this
place within a week.
The Bucklin Journal, speaking of the
action taken by Commissioner Hoover
and County Attorney Madison in regard
to the C. K. & n. foreclosure suit, sums
the matter up in this wise. which is cor
rect: ''Aftera thorough investigation Of
the status of the case, the authorities Of
this county have concluded to make no
further effort to protect its stock in the
A. X. & C. r. r. 1t was found that the
road had been legally sold to the c. X.
s. n. r. r. for $500 At the meeting
authorizing this sale, this amount was
assigned to c. D. Perry on the condition
that he pay all the floating Indebtedness
of the company. If the entire amount
was required to pay these debts the
county will never realize dollar for its
q hn he a
not thus used, the county can recover its
that any thing can be realized and it is
wise to expend no money in futile efforts
to do it,
Finney county has four lines of irrigat-
ing bitches as follows: The Great West
ern has six miles Of main. The Garden
City ditch has twenty-seven miles OF
main. The Illinois has fifty-five miles
Of main. and the Great Eastern has sixty
miles of main, making total of al
miles of main bitches, with about an
equal number of small lateral bitches.
These bitches have been in successful
operation for q number of years. and
have capacity of watering $4,000
acres. The Amazon has very nearly az
many miles of bitches in the county as
the above four. This ditch is new and
up to this time has not been operated
II is expected that this ditch will soon be
put in operation. This ditch will al
most double our area of irrigable lands
these lands once under cultivation. will
make this one of the richest agricultural
countries in the state.-Gaydes City In
