to arrange all preliminaries. The city
marshal will have Main street cleared
of all vehicles, and after the parade
those who wish to speed their horses
can do so. The INDEX wishes each
horse owner would write a short de-
scriptiOn and pedigree of his horse, and
hand it in TO us on the morning of the

Cicero McMillen, the man who killed
calf for Mr.. Brown, in this county
last fall, and who laid in our Jail As
days, is now in place where he will
probably let cattle alone for some time.
Just after being released, the sheriff
received letter from a sheriff near Fit
Smith, asking about Cicero. These
two officers have been corresponding
ever since, as our officers knew where
the wanted" man was located. A few
days ago Jasper Exendine, a United
States marshal, who is also full blood
ed Indian, arrived here, to get our sher
iff to go with him to Stafford county
to make the arrest. Our sheriff and
deputy were both unable to go, so they
selected City Marshal Gano, who knew
JuC w Ky WIFI GhC " ~ maj
shall to make the arrest. They founC
their man, arrested him, brought him
here Monday evening, and on Tuesday
the marshal started with him to FIT
Smith. Willie he was in Jail here Mon
day night he talked freely, saying, that
at TT. Smith they would be able to prove
that he had stolen cattle, horses, sad
dies and everything else. He &C
knowledged enough to put him IN the
pen, for a number of years.
The Knights of Pythias gave theil
fourth annual ball and banquet last
Thursday night. The ball was given
at the opera house, and the banquet
at the Grand hotel. A special effort
was made to have this the finest bal
and banquet ever given in the city, anC
1t was entirely successful in every re
spect. Last year the mistake wa
made of issuing spectator tickets,
and the spectators took possession
of the floor at every dance, crowdini
out those who held regular tickets
This year that was not done, and Will,
the crowd was not so large, it was NOR
select; and while the floor was full o
i dancers, there was no crowding. Th
painters and decorators had spared
neither time nor money IL puttin'
the opera house in fine condl
ton. The finest pictures in the cit.
adorned the walls; the finest rugs ant
carpets covered the ''parlor" floor, ant
the finest furniture, such as chairs, so
fas, tables, etc., were placed in the
'parlor," for the convenience and com
r fort of the guests. The stage was neat
ly decorated, and the front presenteC
the appearance OF a massive stone wall
