that was ever perpetrated in our quiet
little city. was committed last Thursday
evening between and o'clock in the

works for George Baker, attended the M.
E. prayer meeting and was on her way
home when some scoundrel, carrying
a Ratchet, grabbed her and raped her.
She went to the residence OF R. G. Will
son and gave the alarm She was so
excited that she could only give vague
description of the villain. She said he
had a stubby mustache, and wore a
white broad trimmed hat. From what
can be learned the scoundrel answering
the description was seen looking in the
church windows. If the scoundrel is
caught he will surely serve long term
in the penitentiary.

Col. Joe Waters, of Topeka, was in
town Tuesday and Wednesday assisting
County Attorney Sanders in defending
the county in the suit of the Union Pa
cific Railway company against the spec
ial levy voted for the purpose of placing
bounty on coyotes and gopher scalps.
In conversation with the Times editor,
Col. Waters says: every one has their
own opinions, special hobby to ride,
and l have mine, think that western
Kansas can be made the most productive
country that lays out of doors. 1 know
this may sound strange to those who
have lived in the country a number of
years and who have failed at even get
ting living out of it. but nevertheless I
am of the opinion that this can be made
great country, and will tell you why.
Suppose every farmer in western Kansas
would pillow five acres of ground two feet
deep-not an imaginary two feet, but
actually two feet measured with rule
and then dig well and turn wind
mill upon it. What would be the result?
Do you know what L think? I believe
five acres will produce more under irri-
CATION than one whole section would
without, even in favorable year West
ern Kansas, in my opinion, is one of the
finest countries that the sun SHINES on,
and in the course of time will be made
to blossom like the rose. Irrigation has
come to stay, and the sooner the farmers
begin to realize that five acres will pro-
duce more under irrigation than $50
without, the sooner will the rose begin
to blossom. "-[Sharon Springs Times.

gave with words to the effect that she had
no earthly reason for swearing TO lie,
and she glared around for some one rash
enough to contradict her. She was not
coniradicted.
Finally the case was submitted without
argument. and Judge Hebbard said he was

his wife 5000. All evidence went to prove
that, and none more than the statements

A Question of Wages.

The Oceanic Phosphate Company some
time ago shipped a crew 10 gather guano
on Cllpperton Island. Before the men re-
turned the company was garnisheed by It's
creditors. The guano-ga herers came back
a lew days ago aud demanded their wages.
but were told that the garnishee of the
other creditors shut them out There is a
law that prohibits the garnishment of
wages owed to seamen. and the men that
went to the island hold that il protects
them. The other creditors contend that
the crew engaged to gather guano were not
seamep. and that the law does not there
fore apply TO them. The Shipping Com
missioner has referred the question to the
limited States Attorney for an opinion.
