by General Gordon Friday evening; and
it was highly pleased one, too. For

Many peculiar circumstances-amu

the hearts of his younger hearers. Gen.
Gordon goes from here to McConnels-

ALMOST A MURDER.

Percy Stevens now lies at the
home of his brother, County Attor-
ney Stevens, in a critical condition,
the result of a blow struck him on
the head by S. L. Cheney with a
heavy cane Monday morning.
Although there is somewhatof a
mystery behind the affair, young
Stevens was in no way connected
with it, and the assault made by
Mr.. Cheney was outrageous and en-
tirely uncalled for, says the Colum-
BUS Advocate. DIR. Scammon, who
dressed Stevens wounds, says the
extent of the injury cannot yet be
told, aud it may be some time be-
fore the result of the blow will be
known.
1t seems that a man named A. F.
Walker had had some trouble with
Pete Sebastian and Cheney and
had gone to County Attorney Ste
vens' office to consult with him
about the matter. Cheney heard OF
It aud he also went to the county
attorneys office. He found the
door locked and, hearing some one
inside, asked if the county attorney
was in. He received a reply in the
negative and Percy Stevens came
outside and told Cheney that his
brother was in Weir City. Cheney
said: II believe your brother is in
that room, and as he lied to me
once, 1 believe you are lying to me
now." Other words followed, and
Cheney struck Stevens over the
head with a heavy cane. Sheriff
Forkner, who was standing near
by, saw the whole affair, and his
timely action probably prevented
any further injury being done. He
Immediately grabbed Mr.. Cheney
and took the cane away from him.

The Baxter Springs Light and
Power Company was indebted to
the Metropolitan National Bank in

gage on the light plant. The mort
gage became due u few days ago,

cancel it's obligation, the directors
of the company held meeting and
transferred possession and title to
the Metropolitan National Bank.
The plant is now in possession OF

that il will be overhauled and made
better than ever. The price OF
lights will be made lower and uni.

arrangements will be made with
the city council which, we think,
will be satisfactory to the taxpay-

on business principles. New and
needed supplies have been ordered
and general renovating will take
place.
The office of the new manage
ment will be in A. Macdonald's law

relative to lights will be promptly

We are glad that the plant has

past has been very unsatisfactory
and much complaint has been
made. In the future, or as soon as
the proper arrangements can be
made, the service will be first class.
