The people of Medicine Lodge were
quite surprised to read the flaming
head lines of the Kansas City dailies,
announcing the cold bloOded murder of
a lawyer there, named b. L. Johnston,
by former citizen of Medicine Lodge,
A. w. Little. Mr.. Little when living
among US, was highly respected, and
had a great many friends, so that this
conduct of his, is quite surprise. The
cause of the murder, was ill-feeling,
engendered by disagreement over
some mining projects, in which they
were jointly engaged. This led to some
abusive language on the part of JOHN
ston, which Little resented by taking
Johnston's life. The act was, to all
appearances, deliberate, Lawyers
have been hired on both sides, and
great interest is manifested, as both
men have many friends. Johnston will
be remembered as the lawyer who took
part in The county seat fight that ter.
minated III the death of Sam Woods,
and it is reported, on somewhat doubt
full authority, that he has claimed to be
the real siayer, instead of Brennan.
