near Nelson's blacksmith shop, Il
Rumblad's building, formerly used b.
Sprenger the druggist, was fired b.
some miscreant who had selected tn
evening as one well fitted for his deed
1t was discovered, however, in tim
to save it, and lucky 1t was for tn
town, for had the flame reached o goot
Roadway the north side of the stree
would have been swept clean. Tn
people were of course stirred up bod
lily at so bold deed as this, having
been called upon to witness three o
four incendiary fires before this one
and accordingly began to inquire on
of another into the circumstance of thu
evening. From best evidence tina
could be CLEANED, George w. johnson
one of our townsmen, seemed to bt
the one ON whom all suspicion lay anC
was therefore arrested. A prelimin
airy proceeding was at once held, and
he was temporarily released, but only
to be arrested again on the charge o.
threatening the life of Peter Rumblad
which threat was made before he
left the court room. On the latter
charge he was committed to the Gus
tody of the proper officers, as he was
unable to give the required bail, where
he was held until Sunday night, when
he escaped the constable and could
nowhere be found. A reward of $50.
was at once offered and all prepare
| tiOns were made for a general search,
| which proved to be short one, for he
was found hiding away in the garrett
of his own home, which fact was made
known by his wife. He was at once
brought forth and was soon ON the
road to lola, where he is at present
lying in the county Jail awaiting the
action of the law.
The election is over 80 far as the
Republicans are cOncerned; but the
fun for our Democratic brethren has
just begun. The post-office, Ofcourse,
is the plumb that tempts the greatest
number, and some half dozen candi-
dates are already announced, The
list, so far as we have learned, is as
follows: j. T.. Ireland, p. j. Talbot,
J.B. Goshorn, A. L. Taylor, Frank
LETTER. 1t is recognized that the
word of Col. Jones will go good way
toward naming the appOintee, and it
has been more or less quietly whis-
pered that one of the candidates offer
ed him $500 for his "inflOOence." 1t
should be added Immediately that
the virtuous Colonel declined the
offer, so the other fellows need not be
scared. IL will be a pretty fight any
way, and the REGISTER hopes the
best man may win. To the vietOrs
belong the spOils.
The editor of the REGISTER return
ed Monday morning from his trip to
Oklahoma. The lola contingent i'm
that Territory all seem to be doing
well. Prof. Umholtz is superintend-
ent of the schools of Oklahoma City.
George SmeltZer is foreman of q large
printing office and has acquired real
estate that will make him rich some
day. Asa Jones is holding down his
claim and making q few remarks Oc-
casionally upon various topics of in
terest. w. w. Scott is looking after
valuable property interests that he
has in the city. A. G. Scott is prac-
ticing law. Miss Kate Ellis is filling
pleasant position with one of the
leading dry-goods houses. The StIick-
Ter boys, of Carlyle, have claims out
in the Sac and Fox country, and sew
eral other Allen county people are in
the same neighborhOOd. Oklahoma
is bound to be great country some
day. But in the meantime you would
better stay in Kansas.
MARRIED.: On Thursday, Nov. II,
1892, at the residence of the brides
parents, Capt. and Mrs. p. A. Huff
man, in Winfield, Kans., Mr.. Chester
l.. Cowan and Miss Eva Huffman.
The bridal pair stopped at lola few
days on their way to Denver, where
they will make their home. Mr..
COwan has lived in lola nearly all
his life, and lola people cherish for
him nothing but the sincerest respect
and good will, and all unite in wish |
ing him and his bride the happiest |
of homes and the highest success.
The REGISTER greatly regrets to
learn that A. \. Harris, formerly ed |
itOr of the Farmers Friend. was kill |
ed one day last week in railroad &C. |
cident. We cannot learn the partic- |
ulars but there seems to be no doubt |
of the fact. Mr.. Harris has been run
ming a paper in Palouse, WASH, and
was travelling from that place to
be married, when the accident occur
red in which he lost his life.
Rev. w. E. Shaley has received q
call to engage in church work in Chi
cago which he has accepted and has
therefore resigned his pastorate at
this place. He will preach his last
sermon here next Sunday, at eleven
o'clock, and expects to start for Chi
cago on Monday or Tuesday. Mr..
Shaley has done effective work here,
and he and his wife have made many
friends whose best wishes will follow
him.
The testing paragraph in last
weeks locals about Rev. j. n. Fun
;ton's donation of potatoes to Judge
Arnold under the hallucinatiOn that
ne was going to be defeated, seems to
laye been based upon a slight mis-
of the exact facts. Mr..
Funston never entertained the belief
hat the Judge would be defeated and
eft the potatoes in trust with him to
De given to some needy and worthy
amily.
