A Graham County Man in Trouble.

Jack Ashcroft shipped three car
loads of stock cattle to Kansas City
last Friday He loaded them at Pal
CO. On the way down Ire lost one and
had several more crippled on account

and crowded condition of the cars

The following taken from the press
dispatches of the Kansas City dailies
that Jack willfully and maliciously
stole the three cars of cate:
Kansas City, Kan. Nov. 25.-Acting
Chief Flahive received telegram
from Princeton, Mo-, late Yesterday af-
ternoon stating that A. S. Ashcroft.
wanted here for obtaining s1.97s.73
from the live stock firm of Duke, Len
non & Harrington, under false pre-
lenses, was arrested there and was
being held. Detective Andy O'Hare
was sent to Princeton to bring Ash
croft back.
Last Monday Ashcroft consigned
eighty head of cattle to Duke, Len
non & Harrington. The cattle had
been shipped from small station in
Graham county, Kan, and Ashcroft
claimed to own them. The commits
sion firm was reluctant about paying
him without some reference. Ashcroft
asked the firm to telegraph to the
Farmers and Merchants bank of Hill
City, Kan, and the register of deeds
of Graham county, Kan. They did SO
and the replies stated that Ashcroft
was all right. The commission firm
paid him in drafts the sum which the
cattle brought.
So far as can be learned. Ashcroft
tried to cash one of the drafts in this
city but failed, because he could not
produce any reputable and responsible
person who would identify him. He
told the commission firm he was GO
ing to Princeton, Mo-, and yesterday,
after he had left the city, the firm got
telegram from the Farmers and
ter of deeds of Graham county stating
that the bank held a mortgage of $3.50
on Ashcroft's stock. Soon after the
firm received telegram from the
Wa-Keeney State bank, Wa-Keeney, |
Kan, with which bank Ashcroft |
claims to have done business, stating |
that the cattle which Ashcroft ship
ped to Kansas City belonged to a man
in Jewell county, Kan. Ashcroft had |
only been herding them. When he
left Graham county he said he was
going to drive them to the owner in
Jewell county. Instead he drove them
to the railway station, twenty-five
miles away, and shipped them to Kan
sas City.
Duke, Lennon & Harrington wired
to the authorities at Princeton, Mo-,
to arrest Ashcroft. When arrested
Ashcroft had drafts in his possession
to the amount of 81, $50. He had only
dashed one.

The official returns from Kansas
give Bryan plurality of l2-269. but
the BRYAN candidate for Governor has
plurality of only 1859. which goes TO

ty this week. Mr.. o. is well and
favorably known to our oldest settlers
as he was at one time one of the larg-
est owners and breeders of sheep in
the halcyon days of that industry in
our county. During his stay in the
city he was the guest of the Ferris
house.
Our old friend, W. s. Mead, met
with quite mishap last Saturday
morning. He was in the act of leav-
ing his home and stepped onto the
sidewalk, which was very frosty,
his feet flew out from under him, and
he fell headlong, spraining his left
ankle. DIR. Jones was called and
dressed the injured member. He has
been confined to his room, but is do
ing nicely, and will be up and around
in few days. John Smith, who is
an experienced nurse. is his attendant.
Buying ''pig in poke" is no more
reckless than betting against ''half-
breed pony" blanketed with an ire
sponSible psendonym. There is an
evident desire to keep people in the
dark as to the other half of his breed,
but it is betrayed by his voice. That
alone is positive proof of his descent
from the historic beast of Balaam
which ''opened his mouth and spake

JE0PARDz|NG SUCCESS Of CAUSE.
He Says Watson's Withdrawal From the
Ticket Would Be Heralded With
Delight by the Populists.
Confidence in Sewal

Roanoke. Va. Oct. 6.-The Roanoke
Times will tomorrow print an open let
ter from G. w. B. Hale. populist ma
tional committeeman for Virginia, to
Tom Watson, asking the latter TO with
draw from the presidential ticket. The
letter says in part:
Hon. Thomas f. Watson-From a
sense of patriotic duty l write to urge
You TO cease your opposition to fusion
where the same is generally believed to
be of advantage to the immediate sue
cess of financial reform, to which you
have so far so greatly contributed. There
is no earthly chance of your election. If
your cause wins in this race Bryan and
Sewall are elected. While | greatly
prefer southern man to vote for and a
man who like yourself, has been in the
forefront of the battles hitherto fought
for reform, yet l can not hesitate TO,
support Mr.. Sewall, not only because of
his availability, but also because | be-
lieve that if elected and the opportunity
presents itself, Mr.. Sewall would con-
scientiously carry out the full text of
the platform upon which he is elected
l am not one who thinks that because at
present Mr.. Sewall is a banker lie is OBJ
durate on the question of national banks
L do not blame the individual, l blame
the law that legislates Tor national banks.
If you say the man who votes for
Sewall had as well and would as con.
slstently vote for Hobart. you should
remember the former declares himself in
favor of free coinage at the ratio OF
III to l, the other one favors mono
metallism. Quite difference my Ii to
L friend. The former is willing right
now TO establish free and unlimited
coinage; the latter is willing to postpone
action until Gladstone and the mer
chants of England say so. The former
Is tangible; the latter is positively not so
In conclusion. my dear sir. allow me
to emphasize that your stay on the
ticket jeopardizcs the success of our
cause and that withdrawal on your
part would be heralded with patriotic
delight by many of our party friends and
largely by those who esteem you as a.
great and good man. Yours truly.

A SHOUTING DELEGATION.

Canton. o., Oct. 1.-THE regular west
hound train at 10 Il. III. brought two extra
coaches filled with shouting Mckinley
men from East Brady. Clarion county,
Pa. The delegation was introduced by
y. +. Graham and addressed by Maj
Mckinley, who said
Mr.. Graham and Fellow CitiZens-l
am vely regretful that the day is so in,
clement upon which you make your call
| am glad to meet each one of you ut my
home. | have received Il great many
delegations lately. many of them larger
than yours. but from the shouts | have
heard from you today l am sure none
of them had better lungs than yours
Uaughter) And none were more earnest
in their support of republican principles
than the little body gathered about me
today. There is one thing which we are
sometimes too apt to fOrget-we are toe
apt to forget what is behind us and toe
ant to be needless of our own experience
We can hardly realize that from 1873 to
1893 we reduced the public debt from
81. 1913 331 .30S in 1866 TO S5I0OOO,OOO.
We paid off during those twenty years,
81. 623.531 ,613 of the public debt. And
we We're under a protective and sound
money system when we we've making
the large payments. Two-thirds of that
great debt has disappeared and while
we were paying il off we We're building in
this country splendid industrial enter
prises. giving constant and steady en-
ployment to American labor at fair
wages and giving to the farmers of the
country Il just reward for their toll and
labor
During that period. for the greater
part of the time. we were selling more
goods abroad than we wee buying from
abroad and the balance of trade was.
therefore. in our favor and that balance
of trade settled as it was in gold. gave
us the good yellow metal from the other
side of the ocean. Now, my Fellow citi-
zens. four years ago the people. of this
country determined to change that pol
lev and they did change it. What has
been the result? We have since that
time created a national debt. principal
and interest. of about $500 100000. We
have had for the greater part of that
time a deficiency in the treasury, the gov,
eminent not collecting sufficient revenues
to meet current expenses. and labor has
been lily employed in that period.
81 thank you most heartily Tor TINS call
and bid YOU good morning

Talking about III 10 J." Mr.. Green
continued. Il received an interesting let
ter today in my large mail from the as

League at San Antonio. who calls my at
tention 10 the fact that the value of the
Mexican dollar. a. proclaimed by the
secretary of the treasury, October !.
1880. was 90 cents. The same Mexican
dollars were quoted at the San Antonio

What We want is stable currency"
Chairman Green will assume active
charge of the campaign. and the work in
every department will be pushed. He
closed contract yesterday with John r..
Rose. the Stcreoptican for his services dur
ing the entire campaign. Mr.. Rose will
exhibit number of very fine pictures
bearing upon the issues of the campaign
during the Dallas Fair. and at its conclu-
sion he will visit all the large cities Of
the state. and Chairman Green promises
the people most interesting and unique
exhibition free of charge.
