Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1897-01-23

Our old friend Emery Cass, of Coll
yer. we are panied to note, is very
sick
Master Workman Mckinley, John
Harrison and Mr. Lofsted, of Ogallah,
attended the installation of A o. U.
W. officers Tuesday evening.
Geo. V. York, an ardent supporter
and an old subscriber of WORLD, was
in town Wednesday and enjoyed
game of high five with our boys.
/ c. III. Aylworth has traded his farm
north of town for residence property
in Beatrice. Neb. He will leave
shortly for that city and make it his
| future home He will engage in the
dray business. J. L. Best consumated
the deal.
n. NJ. Hinshaw, of Sedalia, Mo-. is
here in attendance upon the sick bed
of his mother, Mrs. Sarah Hinshaw,
who has been dangerously i'll for the
past week. Mr.. Hinshaw was men,
Der of the State Board of Charities
uHueT LoWelllnR.
Otis Kessler, who is agent for the
Stark nursery of Missouri, passed
through town Wednesday en- route
to his home near Collyer. This nurs-
cry has the reputation of handling
good, thrifty trees, and Otis is per-
fectly reliable and deserves the pat
ronage of our people.
Tuesday evening the Hays City
post office robbers, quartered in our
comfortable Jail, ate their quail on
toast with silver-plated knives which
Deputy Thompson forgot and left in
their possession. With these they
improvised a couple of saws and were
in fair way to escape when dis
covered. They got bread for break
fast.
Sheriff Lynn took Robert Holmes
to the Reform school at Topeka last
Monday evening. Boobies parents
are in no wise to blame in the matter
which has made this course judicious,
and their many friends join them in
the hope that in his new surround
ings and under proper restraint he
will soon become the useful citizen
his natural talents promise, and re-
turn in short time.
The successful issue of the late con-
test cases is due in no small degree to
the hard work and careful study of
Hon. FL. j. Harwi, the attorney who
had charge of them. Mr.. Harwi is
bound to rise in his profession so long
as he gives such close attention to the
business of his clients, who, in the
present instance at least, are well
pleased with his conduct of their
cases, and the results are equally sat
iSfactOry.
Associate examiners of teachers are
appointed by the county commissions
ers upon the nomination of the county
superintendent. and shall serve one
year from the date of appointment.
Mr.. Piersee was appointed July l.,
1896. Mr.. Balcom's recent attempt to
remove him six months before the ex-
piration of his term is just in line
with the preSumptuous action of the
rule or ruin gang who are trying to
run things in defiance of law and the
decisions of legally constituted courts.
The so-called county paper of the
Pops published last week the minutes
of what purported to be the proceed
ings of meeting of the county COM
missioners. Among other things was
a resolution reciting that some per-
sons had a secret meeting in the office
of the county clerk Monday, Jan. IL.
This doubtless refers to the regular
meeting of the legally authorized
Board of Commissioners, who met in
pursuance of law for the transaction
of public business. That such meet
| ing was held and such work done
there is no doubt, but there was no
secret about it. The Populist county
clerk and the incoming Populist pro-
bate judge were the first persons to
enter the room, and no public bust
ness was done until all the members
of the board were present, as well as
one ex-member and many witnesses
also. The Office was not Invaded. y
and the men who penned and pub
lished the resolution knew very we'll
its prevaricating purpose and object.
Without law or logic, they rely upon
deception.
