TEN YEARS EACH.
Quick Work in the Case Of the Lam
rock Robbers.

Our readers will remember the
attempted robbery and rough treat
ment of Mr.. and Mrs. John Lam
rock, of Decatur County, by a band
of masked men ON the night of
June 20 last, and the arrest of John
Hamilton on suspicion, and his con-
fession which led to the arrest of
four other men, Henry Baker, Cor
dus and Irwin carp, and Alonzo
Mitchell, all residents Of Benton
County.
These men were indicted on three
counts, wearing masks, robbery,
and perjury, and were called to
trial last Friday. The evidence
against them left no possible ave-
nue. of escape and they submitted
their cases, each being sentenced
to ten years in the penitentiary.
The above punishment was swift
and just, and is hoped will forever
break up the band of robbers, that
have been committing depredationf
along the line of Benton and De.
catur counties for some time, II i;
said that these five men do mo-
compose but q small portion of the
band.

one acre he has sold LIS bushels of onions
at one dollar per bushel. and has vet re-

raising. In this line he has also achieved
satisfactory results. From the product
of less than one acre he has sold over
five tons of cabbage at l cent per pound.
and has slowed away 400 heads for the
spring market. From his garden he has
sold over $3.50 worth Of pro<3Mee, and his

Birthday Party.

Last Tuesday evening Miss Nettie

in Dodge City. rs a pleasant reminder
of her fourteenth birthday. There were
twenty-five invitations sent and nine
teen were responded to in person. The
ads and lasses who were so fortunate rs
to be present report having u splendid
time. Almost endless variety of good
things were provided for their refresh
ment, and they say their young hostess
seemed to take special delight in making
everything pleasant for each and every
one. The GLOBE-REPUBLICAN was
not forgotten, as tempting array of tropi-
al fiuit. nuts and sweetmeats selected
from among the viands served by Miss
Nettie testified to the corps of toilers
who try to make these columns readable
that they too We're remembered by the
the generous hearted little lady. and all
join with her guests in wishing her many
happy returns of the day. Such polite
and well behaved children rs Miss Nettie
and her young friends are credit to
Dodge City. They demonstrate that
with proper home training the rising
generation may grow up uncOntami-
mated by the examples of vice and de-
pravity which more or less pervade every
live city. and go to make up the sum to-
tai of humanity.

The western half of Ford county
may not be so far advanced in successful
farming and agricultural stability as the
eastern half is, but the farmers and
stock raisers of this part of the county
are forging ahead at surprisingly rap
i'd rate. j. c. Baird, of the Santa Fe
freight Office, informs US that since Sep
TENDER LIST 81 cars of cattle, ) cars of
wheat. cars of rye and Car of horses
have been shipped over the company's
road from this point. Large quantities
of other farm products have also been
shipped over the same route. We are
told by J. II. Phillips, Of the Rock Is
land, that his road has taken from this
point 20 cars Of rye. 5 Of wheat and 2 Of
cattle since September 1st. The Monte
yuma road. in its report, gives evidence
that the farmers out southwest are unus-
ually thrifty. Its shipments since Sept.
LIST showed 49 cars of wheat, 80 of rye
and IA of live stock. Thousands of
bushels of wheat and barley are being
held for higher markets, and it is very
evident that the farmers of the western
part Of Ford county are in no straitened
circumstances this winter.
