The POs.omeo AFFAIR.

On Monday an alteration took place
at the pOstOfice between Charlie Har-
rison, clerk, and Deputy Postmaster
W. II. Mead, which is causing many
regrets. IT is difficult in these cases to
get the exact facts and we only give
the version as we hear it most gener-
ally accepted. Itappears that between
the two parties there has been consid-
cradle i'll feeling for some time, and
that on Monday an attempt was made
by the local postotlice authorities to
discharge Mr.. Harrison from his posi-
ton and demanded the keys. lie pro-
tested that he was under civil service
rules, and they had no authority alone
to GUST him, and thereupon he made i
grab for the keys. Then a general
scuAle ensued between Harrison, the
postmaster and deputy postmaster, in
the course Of which Harrison claims
II. IL. Mead struck him a severe blow
in the face. The clerk then left the
postoalce but returned in about an
hour and meeting the younger Mead
as he was leaving he walked up ana
struck him a severe blow, which
knocked him down on the pavement.
Either the blow of the fist or that of
his head striking the pavement must
have been neayy one, and for Il
couple Of days he was unconscious.
Wednesday the case appeared so bad
that thh doctors determined to per-
form an operation. They did so, raised
the skull and removed ClOt of blood
and he is now doing well. A warrant
was sworn out before Justice Camp
bell charging him with assault and
battery and the case is set for Saturday.

Another Ex-Candidate Arrested.

Mr.. A. r. Dodge, of LangdOn,
who two years ago was the populist
candidate for clerk of the district
court has now been arrested on a
charge of grand larceny, and the case
will be tried in the district court on
April Is. The facts of the case as Mr..
Dodge gives them to us are these;
His brother owning farm close to his
left some years ago, placing the farm
in his care for rent. In 1894 tenant
by the name OF Lee rented the ground
and by the terms of the lease was to
leave the rental corn on the farm. At
about corn gathering time the tenant
notified Mr.. Dodge that the rental
was ready and would be disposed of
according to his orders. Then another
man suppOsing the corn to be in the pos
session of the tenant and claiming that
the owner Of the load owed him a
debt, garnlsheed the tenant. Alr.
Dodge finding how the matter stood,
consulted his attorney who advised
him to get the corn away at once,
which he did. Now comes criminal
prosecution by the county attorney,
charging him with stealing the corn.
In the justices court the defendant
waived examination to let the matter
come directly into the district court.
This is now the third ex.populist can
didate who has been arrested on a
criminal charge. and in both cases be.
fore this the evidence showed the
charges 20 have no foundation what.
ever. III course developments in this
case must no awaited. but the friends
of Nj lodge feel perfectly confident
that IL termination will not be detri-
menta! TO the character of their fellow
citizen and co.worker.

Price nOs Alive.

THE various rumOrs which have been
in circulation in this city and elsewhere
that r. r. Price is alive and that his
supposed death was a fake affair to
rob the insurance companies of the
100000 for which they had Insured

any in Hutchinson, had received suftl.
cient currency to be taken up by the
sensational press and heralded broad
cast over the country. The Kansas
City Times wired its correspondent at
this place, who denied the story in toto,
Another of its correspondents,
was presen! at the opening of
the casket at Topeka as told in the
following language
u. H., Stevenson brother-in. law of
Price, was informed of the report yes
terday by a Hutchinson man whom he
met on the street. This afternoon Mr..
Stevenson decided to investigate the
matter, not so much for his own salts
faction, for he was sure that Reys Price
was dead, but to nip the sensation in
the bud that it might not bloom under
the care of fake artists, to the an
nOyance of the family and friends OF
the deceased.
Accompanied by Charles S, Elliott, a
we'll known citizen, who was ac-
Quainted with Price, Undertaken Sto-

Stevenson drove 10 the Topeka GENE
terry and ordered the sexton to open the
family vault, in which the remains OF
his relatives have been deposited. The
pOnderous doors of the vault were
opened and the metallic casket con-
tanning the body was brought forth
The lid was removed and Stevenson
and Elliott looked through the glass
upon the face of the dead. The body
had been embalmed and was in fairly
good state of preservation.

life could be mistaken IN that head,

Mr.. Pricegn SAID the reporter to Stew

"Yes," was the answer.
The casket was then placed bacl
into its resting place and the Taul

the Hutchinson story started unless
it was spite work on the part OF al
enemy of the family, or was the out

Kicking Cattle Men.

Reno cattle men have blood in their
eyes. They find that with redemption
not all things that are just, pure and
lovely have come to pass, but that
every time they ship car of cattle it
takes from four to ten big round dol
lars more than before to pay for it.
Under a new rate arrangement which
went into effect about the first of the
year, instead of paying so much per
car, a certain rate per hundred weight
is charged with the effect as stated
above, So the cattle men are mad
and they met Monday in the
office Of Mr.. FOrSha and Mr.. Johnson
and protested. They passed the fol-
lowing resolutions which were for
warded to the State railroad com mis-
SION accompanied by freight bills and
other proofs and evidences, for their
consideration in their hearing Of the
complaints which was set for Tuesday
the 18th
WHEREAS, The State board of rail
road commissioners have now under
consideration the complaint of ship
pers against the excessive and unjust
freight rates on live stock, the result
ia the change in the method of charg-
ing from ear load rates to the rate by
weight;
We, the shippers of live stock from
Reno county, desire to place before the
commission our testimony upon the
subject andGay to them that the change
in rate, or the method of charging, has
resulted in the increase of freight
charges about 20 per cent. This state.

experience and from the freight bills
paid before and since the change was
made. The new system is also inju-

B. NUssBAUM.
The above agreement was published
last week in the papers which issued
Saturday. Mr.. Weiner therefore
very pertinently makes the following
remarks.-ED.
Under the above agreement the in
terested parties as we'll as the public
at large had a right to expect faith
full adherence to, and honorable OBJ
servance OF the above compact by all
the parties thereto. 1t appears, how
ever, that highly reliable information
as we'll as indispuLable evidence, shows
that a certain establishment, and party
to this agreement. was found so
broadly wanting in sincerity as to the
keeping of their pledge as to keep their
store sufficiently open to admit Of ap-
plicants for business transactions, pat
II
rons finding their way into the said
certain store and having no trouble to
make their desired purchases. No cir.
cumstance can possibly stand as an
excuse for such tlagrant violation of an
honorable agreement. 1t is an action
grossly mercenary in its motives, and
displays a wantOn disregard for manli-
ness and integrity, and open to the
most searching comment.
However, pending a further trial, as
we'll as additional opportunity for the
strict observance of this agreement in
the future, the business men who are
the direct parties to this compact, as
we'll as the public who cannot fail to
be alike interested, Will refrain from
passing due and just judgment upon
those who promise and preach that
which they fail to practice.
