but when the bridge is built it should be
a good one. l am in favor of the new
bridge"
Frank Morrow, the market mau, said:
"I don't always agree with the JOURNAL,
but it is right this time, sure. the peo-
pie knew what they wanted when they
voted for that bridge, and the ommis-
sioners ought to go ahead and build it."

report that A. W. Patterson, who was
supposed to have died in the peniten-

whose body was shipped here for burial,
is alive and is now residing in the City
Of Mexico. A we'll known travelling man
who travels out of Kansas City told a
citizen of this town, and also gentle
man in Winfield, day or two ago, that
Patterson talked with him in the City of
Mexico, and told him how much he paid
to have a "stiff" bearing a striking re-
semblance to himself sent to the peni-
tentiary and there prepared for burial,
and sent to Arkansas City, and remarked
iocularly that his release cost him a
trifie more than the cadaver was worth
from medical point of view.
