up. He is n republican from the heart TO
the core aud notwithstanding the fact that
he is surrounded on all sides with the new
political element he never waivered in the
past; but consistently maintained that the
principals of the Republican party were
the surest foundation for the political
strucJion OF the republic to rest with
safety. Speaking about local matters, he
stated that the condition Of the people of
Sumner county was never better than it

STUCK ON WICHITA.

Captain Sawyer of Chenoa, H., is in the
city looking over Wichita for the first
time. The captain has made many trips
to Kansas. but this is his first visit to the
southern part of the state and to say that
ne is delighted with Wichita and the AR.
kansas valley would not be fully repre-
senting his feelings. He will stay here a
few days ond perhaps when he returns it
will be TO inform his family that he has
concluded TO become a kansan. Captain
Sawyer followed the fortunes of General
Grant in the war and left an arm at Fort
Donelson. He served in the Illinois legis-
lature four years and is sound Republi-
can who thinks Blaine and reciprocity
will be the party watchword in the politi-
cal battle next fall

4 BOLD BAD MAN

who has been victimizing the farmers in
the vicinity of Cheney. The matter oc
I curreti some six err eight days ago, but has
. been kept quiet, 50 as not TO alarm the
gentleman. and that the officers may have
by that reason, better chance to lay
their hands on him. Il IS all oat now for
the Cheney Herald publishes the affair
The Herald says:
Some time during the first of last week a
gentleman named \. f Nixon, who halls
from Wichita and who represented HIM
self as salesman for nursery there. came
to TINS city osJersibly TO sell fruit and
ornamental trees He visited the Joints
and imbibed quite freely in the ardent
At various times, for the purpose of get
ting credit. he exhibited his order book
which contained a goodly number of or
derS signed by some of our best farmers
(Which proved, upon investigation, TO be
iorgeriesl such men AS /. NJ. Lane,
Henry Comstock, and Il number of
OTHERS equallyas good, ranging in amounts
claimed TO have got an advance of 30 per
cent. While here he hired team from
NJ. J. C. Reed and made few trips TO the
country
However, on the morning of the 10Th
inst. he got horse and buggy and drove
away, as was supposed, TO the country to
take orders. Instead, however. it seems
that he drove direct to Wichita, as he
reached that city on the Goth. and at once
proceeded TO the barn of Mr. Butler and
sold the horse and buggy to that gentle
man for $50
Not returning when he agreed to Mr..
Reed, accompanied by w. G. Dodd, deter
mined 10 find out what had become of
Nixon, and boarding the early train last
to Wichita. Mr. Reed at once pro-
ceeded to the barn of Mr.. Butler
and there. sure enough, found his horse
and buggy. Butler said he bought the
outfit from Nixon on the 20Sh, since which
time he had not seen him.
Among some other crooked things done
by the erratic Nixon while here it is said
that be beat his hotel bills at the Grand
View and Tyler house; pawned his order
book for 81. stole an overcoat and pair of
Overshoes. and many other little, thieving
transactions, for which he will long be re-
membered
Mrs. Nixon was apprised of the facts re-
lated above, and said that on leaving her
on the evening of the Goth her husband
had given her SIS, promising to be home
again in two weeks.
The case was laid before the proper
officers and the matter rests in their hands
for further developments. There is no
question but what the thief will be caught
i'll due time and promptly convicted and
sent over the road.

The masquerade ball given last night in
the A o. L. W. under the auspices of the
Degree of Honor was certainly the great
est success Of the kind given this year 1t
was an elegant affair and fully deserved
the patronage it received Fully 300 tick
cts were sold and taken in at the door and
there was scarcely standing room in the
hall when the ball began. The costumes
were elaborate and handsome, and the
scene which the masqueraders presented
as they went whirling through the quad
rifle was very impressive aud amusing
Fully rs persons participated in the grand
march. which was led by Master Charles
Gleed Wallace and Miss BERTHE Ford, both
youngsters of not more than II years old.
Financially, as well as socially, the ball
was grand success. and in the future it
need only be stated that any affair Of the
kind is under the auspices or the Degree Of
Honor TO insure success

HIT WITH A RATCHET.

Night before last two men named
Mounts and Kelley got into fus on East
Douglas avenue with the result that
Mounts came within hairs breadth OF
having badly cracked skull. The trouble
was not caused over whisky, which is the
source of so many fuses, but on the con-
trary it arose over water. Mounts, ii
seems, is tenant in the building for
which Kelley is agent and when he went
to get some water Kelley rushed out OF
his room and began hammering him with
a Ratchet. He cut him very severely on
the head and it was reported yesterday
morning that Mounts WAS dying. That
was mistake, however, as he was able to
be up town in the afternoon. A warrant
was sworn out yesterday charging him
with assault aud battery but afterwards
an application was made to the county at
torney to amend the warrant by adding
the charge with intent to kill.
