could steal a ride he went to King

and his family here are almost desti-

considerable sympathy in this commu-

victim Of some unknown rascal's
meanness. Brasier represented him.

Chief of Police Robertson says that
Brasier has made Ft. Scott his home
for some time until coming here and
that all through his stay there, he
has harbored a gang Of buns and
tramps and associated with them in a
manner which has brought him upon
the same level with them in that city.
Nothing having been heard from him
since his departure for Kingfsher, it
is feared that he has gone also and
left his family. These men whom he

An Ulkind Kindness

Out In Eden township there lives a
man by the name Of Gus Groves and
he had a cow; failure in crops made
feed scarce last winter and the COW
got very, very poor indeed. Gus was
in the very act Of removing said COW
from her earthly troubles when a
neighbor by the name of Wilson came
along and in the fullness of his heart
Gus gave said COW to his friend and
neighbor Wilson. Appreciating the
kindness OF his neighbor, Wilson &C.
cepted the gift returning many thanks
and at once set about the task of get.
ting his COW home. She was so poor.
SO very poor she could not walk, but
Wilson appreciating the kindness Of
his neighbor persisted in his efforts
and finally landed said COW at her new
home. Wilson and his good wife at
once set about doctoring, feeding and
caring for the COW and soon she began
to mend. When spring came and the
grass grew green the said cow got
very fat indeed, and Wilson was very
proud Of his COW.
One bright spring morning E. H.
Middlekauff, cashier of the Sumner
County Bank Of Conway Springs, rode
up to neighbor Wilson and inquired II
he (Wilson) had COW answering to
certain description and he replied that
the COW was in the lot. The cashier
then produced a paper which to
neighbor Wilson's surprise proved to
be chattle mortgage executed by
friend and neighbOr Gus Groves and
the cashier drove off the COW.
Moral: Do not accept a gift until
you have examined the chattle mort.
gage record.

est gathering in a small town that
the writer ever witnessed. The
parade was very nice. The town.
ships OF Dalton, Whitman and Yeager
were well represented, but Sand

After the parade all left for Nor

themselves for an hour by devouring
the contents of their lunch baske IS,
after which they were in good shape
to enjoy the afternoon program.
Chairman W. B Coldwell delivered

Ed Hackney, was then introduced to
the audie1ce, who received his ora

of delight. Mr.. Hackney in his short
stay gained many friends sand admir-
ers who predict brilliant future for
him.
After Mr.. Hackney had retired the
chairman called upon some of Wei.
lington's patriotic citizens to make
short speeches. The first called on
was James Lawrence. At that nom.
ent jim was wanted elsewhere. May
or Savage was next wanted but he
vanished and was not to be found.
Finally the double Quartette of
Wellington sang a few selections
which were appreciated by all.
They were encOred time and again
and each time responded with better
selections than the preceding ones.
Rev. Jones mot a brother OF Sam,
but "Nightingale") was called forward
and amused the audience for a short
time. After enjoying this feast of
good things at the grove the crowd
began to move toward the racing
grounds, Before half an hour had
slipped around, everyone was on the
streets eager to see the races. The
pony race was the first called. Five
ponies were entered, but Geo. Hafer

tured the first prize. The second was
taken by George Martins little black
pony. Immediately after the pony
race the marShals began making plep-
arations for the foot race. Several
sprightly young and old men entered
the contest but the race was led by
Bill Kimball, John Bull following sec.

the participants caused the race to be
run over again before the judges could
award the money in the next trial.
Kimball led the contestants about a
rod, but suppOsing the goal line had
been moved forward he threw up too
soon. Pete Burcham bounded forward
and was awarded first prize, and Bull
following was awarded second.
Henry Hahn's mule won the slow
mule race. 1t took it so long to reach
the goal that the Judge got grayhead-

children disappeared early in the

The trial of Fred COstou of Conway
Springs came up in Justice Gilmore's
court Wednesday. He was charged
with having administered medicine
to produce an abortion and plead
guilty to that misdemeanor. He de-
MED the truth of the charge all the
way through, but said that it was
cheaper for him to pay the nominal
fine Of S25 and costs assessed against
him than to fight the case in district
court. The defendant is an employe
of the Missouri Pacific at Conway
Springs and is very highly spoken of
by the officers of the road at that
place. The county attorney thought
the charge rather weakly sustained
hence the defendants fine was made
nominal. His parents are highly re-
