THE FAR WEST
AS Seen by Citizen of RusseIIville
CoMANcHE. /. T., MAY Is, '93.

CoMANcHE, /. T., May Is, '93.
Editor DEMOCRAT: After leaving
Caldwell, Kansas, coming south on
the Rock Island railroad, they be-
gan telling me about buffalo, wolves
and antelope. Soon we passed out
of Kansas into the "Strip." then |
watched both sides of the train as
nearly as possible, in hopes of seeing
some of the inhabitants of the Wild
West. My watchfuiness was soon
rewarded by sight Of the prairie
dog, which is beautiful little ami
NAL. After crossing Pond Creek, !
saw what / at first thought was a
small shepherd dog, but on closer
examination, / found him to be a
coyote. The trainmen told me of a
place where / would likely see some
antelope, but | have not had that
pleasure yet.
This is certainly the prettiest
country have ever seen. This lit
tie town is on the C. r. |. d z. Ry.,
within one mile of the Comanche
Territory. / went with few of
Pope's former citizens out into this
beautiful prairie country. After
travelling about eight miles west, we
were ON top of the highest point in
the country, and could see as far as
the eye could reach on all sides moth
ing but what we call small mounds,
and the rich valleys all covered with
a luxuriant growth of grass. One
is reminded continually of the"cattle
on thousand hills for everywhere
there are cattle, nothing but cattle.
Away to the northwest about thirty
or thirty five miles there we saw the
mountains on which Fort Sill is
built. rising it seems, to an immense
height above all the surrounding
country,
l have spent two weeks here
among my friends who once lived in
Pope county, but have lived here
from two to seven years. They all
seem satisfied to remain here. Among
them are: DIR. J. T. Wharton, who is
having an immense practice extend
ing over tho country fifty miles north
and south, and twenty five to thirty
miles east and west, j. c. Pascal,
John Gamblin, Green Brown, Sr. and
Jr., Sing Brown, b. c. Long and Geo.
Brown, who are in mercantile bust
ness at this place. Andy Yates, Jno.
Guest and DR.. Montgomery are all
in mercantile business here. There
are great many more people here
from old Pope, and all seem to be do
ing very well. Mr.. John Clingman,
one of the best citizens from old Shi
lob, will soon return to that country.
Crops are looking well, consider
ing the dry weather and frost, which
latter bit the corn down even with
the ground since | came out here,
and in great many instances the
farmers have planted over some with
corn and some with cotton.
/ will send copy of the Comanche
Chief, which is published here by
Mr., Haywood, who is nice, enthu
siastic westerner.
/ expect to start home next week.
Respectfully, J. A. MILLER.

MR. +. L. Owens, or Batesville,
declines with thanks the Consulship
to Winnipeg and intimates pretty
clearly that far richer plum would
be requisite to induce him 10 relin-
guish his profession and leave the
state. All Of which marks him as
a man of sound discretion, and in
addition, distinguishes him as a
democrat and an editor with nerve
sufficient to decline an office with a
good salary attached.

ATTORNEY GENERAL OLNEY has de
cided that inasmuch as all appropri-
ations made or pertaining to the
Worlds Fair were made upon the
condition that the exposition should
not be open to the public on Sunday,
it would be the duty of the Colum-
bian commission created by congress
10 make such rules or notifications
Of rules of the exposition as should
require the closing of the fair on
Che Sabbath The avaricious Cbica-
goans will hardly be able to circum-
vent mandate like this.

The attendance at the World S
Fair so far has been disappointing,
making the outlook rather sombre
for the capitalists whose millions
are invested in the enterprise. A
marked reduction in railroad and
hotel rates must be secured before
anything like a general attendance
of the people can be hoped for.

Bradish remarked that the liquor deal
ers' association had raised $4,000 to oust
the police commissioners. One OF the
members said he could not be "fred"
any too soon. Just why these remarks
were made is not positively known, as
the reporter was absent at that particu-
lar moment. 1t is understood that Mr..
Bradish, after making the remark, mod
ified it by saying it was joke sprung in
connection with the acts of the commis-
sion.
GAMBLING RULE DEFEATED.
Rules for the regulation of gambling
were presented by Mr.. Bosbyshell. Some
objection was raised against them by
Mr.. Bradish, who declared that any such
act would be unconstitutional. He said
the general law covered the matter.
Upon taking q vote the rules were de-
feated.
SALOON PERMITS.
Applications for saloon permits by F.
x. Eberle, at 790 San Pedro street; Lee
Wernett, at 402 Also street; transfer
from A. Felix; David Caste, at 1886 San
Fernando street; transfer for Charles
Jaeger, were referred to the chief.
On report of the chief the application
of Worther & Nicholson for saloon per-
NIT at 2134 East First street, transfer
from A. Stern, was granted.
SPECIAL POLICEMEN.
W. A. White was appointed special
policeman in connection with services as
manager of the Free Labor bureau, a
favorable report having been made on
his application by the chief.
On report of the chief, John Howard,
P. Palandre, Herman Strathman, Rich
ard Waider, James Garrison, j. Aevelle
and R. H. Berry, foremen of the various
parks, were appointed special police to
make arrests of parties committing dep
relations in the parks.
MINOR DoINas.
A proposition of Walter Owen to give
dramatic entertainment to raise money
for the police fund was declined.
Five dollars reward given by II. N.
Tuttle to Officer Goodman for recovery
of sewing machines, was turned into the
reward and charity fund.
Jean Lenert's petition to have his
saloon license restored was denied until
a more thorough investigation is made
into the violent death of ex.Oficer Rim
ken bach at his saloon.
| The license collector having reported
the license of Frank Custer, ct 712 East
First street. unpaid at p. M, August
10th, it was revoked. Custer died On
the 9th of August.
