Two Killers Pitted Against Each
Other at Burton's Mine.

j. r. Burton returned Friday
from New Mexico where he and W.
Il. Mackey of junction City are in
terested in a mine which promises
well. He says the dispatch regarding
his matters there is almost entirely
untrue, it having only the basis that
there is dispute as to the ownership
OF mine. Mr.. Burton found that
his opponents had man engaged as
guard who had killed two men. He
Immediately engaged man who had
killed five men and backed him up
with lot Of cowboys. They took
possession and the two-man killer
subsidized, leaving Burton's party in
charge Of the mine. There was no
fighting and later on Mr.. Burton rode
% miles across the plains to the depot
alone with the two-man killer who
had been engaged to fight him. Mr.,
Burton says the man who does not
have a Winchester handy down in
New Mexico cannot move in good
society.

A delightful leap year party was
that held in Olympic club rooms and

excellent music and the program in
cluded 20 dances with a few extras.
The gentlemen acted as coy as posi-
BILE and of course the married men
realized what it is be wallhowers
while the young fellows carried off
the honors. The young men were
brought in carriages, furnished
flowers and escorted home by the
young ladies in the most approved
manner. The young ladies deserve
much credit for the perfection Of
their arrangements and great praise
was given them by all. Misses Ger
trude Kirby and Lulu Hallam were
the leading spirits of the affair and
they have a right to be happy over
the success that attended it.
The orchestra consisted of Prof.
Packard. Mr.. Knox, H. H. Eberhardt,
W. l.. Goodwin and there was
abundant praise for the sweet music
that the gentlemen furnished, all Of
which was deserved.
Misses Florence Hawk and Loine
Ball presided very gracefully at the
punch bowl.
There were hosts of pretty new
gowns and dress suits were numer-
GUS. Misses Kirby and Hallam were
floor managers and performed their
duties with all the ease imaginable.
