The Purcell Register of last
week asks: why not all ele-
ments clasp hands in one effort to
make this country all that nature
designed it to be? All right, Bro.
Walker, as you have suggested
the matter, suppose you begin by
giving up the abominable single
statehood scheme you have been
"daddying" so long. Others will
follow in your footsteps and make
equal sacrifices Capital.

IsI FEW DAYS AGO a gentleman
,|61 named Terry, Of Bentonyille,
Ark, brought four jacks to this town
and fell into the hands of two men
claiming to be from Oswego, named
Dewberry and Braden, respectively.
Terry wanted to sell the stock and
made a ''dicker" with the two men
and was to receive $1,000 for the four
head, and arranged to accompany one
Of them to Oswego for the money.
Terry turned the jacks over TO them
and boarded the morning train with
De 1berry for Oswego to get the cash,
leaving the animals in Braden's care
at Couch & Raines' stable. Within
an hour after Terry and Dewberry
were gone, Braden was making ar
rangements to ship the jacks to Kan
sas City and that evening did so, 60
ing along with them. In the mean
time, Dewberry and Terry had gone
to Oswego and put up at the hotel,
and during the night Dewberry give
Terry the slip and went to Kansas
City, and next day the jacks were sold
by the commission men TO whom they
were consigned. Three Of them were
purchased by an Oswego liveryman
named Grant and shipped back to
Oswego, and the third one sold to a
party living ten miles out from Kan
sas City. When Terry realized that
he had been duped, he returned to
this city and began trying to trace up
and recover his property. He recov-
cred the three taken from Kansas
City to Oswego, and will, he thinks,
eventually get the other one.
