Owing to several reasons Judge Nc
Kay concluded not to hold court this
regular term. Some of the at.
torneys thought the term could not
have been legally held as the snow de-
layed the judge until Wednesday and
court was neither opened nor adjourn
ed on Tuesday; but the judge did not
agree with this. His reasons for not
holding were that the great number of
jurors used last fall left but nine names
IN the box, and that he believed the
docket could be cleared next term there
was no necessity for entailing the large
expense of procuring juries and other
work. 1t will deprive the court officers
of some work but will be a saving to
| the county.

Almost q Murder.

a scene was enacted at Alva last
week which came near costing two ex-
Barber county men their lives. About
noon on Friday some parties discovered
Ed Williams of this city and Charles
Sellers of Sun City in hall
in the Maxwell building, their
heads all pounded up and both lnsensi-
BILE. The deed had been committed
some time during the night previous in
a gambling den near where the men
were found. Medical assistance was
at once summoned and before night
Sellers had regained CONSCIOUSNESS.
Or. Gould of this city was telegraphed
for and went down Saturday accom-
panied by Mrs. Williams, They found
Mr.. Williams still unconscious but
when the doctor returned, on Sunday,
he was in semi conscious condition.
Three men were arrested for the as
sault; Charles Hullet, formerly of this
city, John Allen, an ex-Kiowa gambler
and fellow from Dodge City. 1t de-
velOpS that all were gambling when the
trouble occurred, and general melee
enSued. One of the three arrested par
ties secured piece of timber and dealt
the blows which almost made him a
murderer. after which the two insensi-
BILE men were dragged out into the hall
and left to the mercy Of fate. 1t is
claimed that a feud has existed be.
tween Williams and Hullet for some
time and that the former may be in
part responsible for his injuries. The
least that can be said of the deed is.
however, anything but creditable to
the parties who committed it and stern
justice should be melted out to them in
the fullest extent.
The people of Alya were considerably
excited over the matter at first and had
ropes prepared for the guilty parties
had Williams died from the effects of
the assault. The latest reports say
Williams mind is still hay but that
he is recovering, and that Sellers IS in
q convaleScent condition.

Envious Ministers.

There are ministers of the gospel in
New York and other cities who envy DR..
Parkhurst the fame he has won, and
which he so richly deserves. A few of
them have been indiscreet enough to per-
init their feelings to find expression in
their public utterances. The Springfield
(Mass) Republican says that, at a
preachers meeting in that city recently,
one who has done much to ferment discord
in various places describes DR.. Parkhurst
as "a man who has acquired much glory
by going about like roaring lion through
the localities and dens of iniquity. But
when it comes to the question of tenn
perance, he casts his eyes along the oc-
cupants of the front pews in his own
church, smiles like a sick kitten, and
answers that he is not ready to express
himself on that subject"
This preacher who attacked DR.. Park
hurst is temperance tal5er probably.
who has met with little or no success. He
is pulled up with the idea that he is doing
greater reform work than DIR. sParkhurst
has done, and is out of humor because he
has had no success. His soul is so small
that he is not willing to give DR.. Park
hurst credit for bringing about a revolu-
ton in the municipal affairs of the great
est city of the country, and sneers at him
because he didn't carry on a crusade
against intemperance, instead of against
vice.
Some men ought not to wonder why
they are not appreciated. There is moth
ing in them to appreciate. They accom-
plish nothing themselves and they try to
belittle those who do accomplish some
thing.
Such little men cannot harm DR.. Park
hurst. The work DIR. Parkhurst has ac-
complished speaks for itself A million of
people have been directly benefited by his
work in the last two years, and a million
of people sing his praises. Those who
are envious of his fame only excite con
tempt by their attempts to drag him down
to their own level.
