BARNEY o'coNNER CAPTURED.

Wichita Commoner.
Sheriff Simmons went to Kansas City
last Friday and returned Saturday
with Barney O'Conner. the ex-jointist
of Maize and various other places.
Barney was arrested last year for
selling liquor in Cheney and gave bond
for $500 for his appearance. He then
went to Caldwell and opened up a Joint
there and was arrested and gave bond
again. Henry Schnitzler went on his
bond in both cases. Barney then went
to Oklahoma and when the time set for
his trial arrived he could not be found.
A short time ago the commission ers
instructed the county attorney to COM
mence proceedings against Schnitzler
for the amount of the bond in Barney's
case from Cheney. 1t looked as though
Schnitzler would be stuck for the $500.
Last week Sheriff Simmons learned
that O'Conner was in Kansas City and
went after him ard got him without
much trouble. 1t looks as though Bar
ney did not want to have Schnitzler
stuck and only wanted free ride from
Kansas City 10 Wichita.

A FLOOD.

Last Thursday afternoon the biggest
waterfall visited northern Barber coun-
ty IN her history, barring the big flood
in 1885. Elm Greek and Medicine river
were out OF their banks. Several big
bridges on these streams were washed
away. miles of wire fence went with
them and all bottom land crops were
destroyed. Considerable loss i'm live
stock is also reported.
In this city the ditch is broken in
four or five different places and the
dam breast on Elm creek is completely
washed away. The losses will fall more
heavily on the city, county and town.
ships than on individuals but Ii will be
heavy on all that held interests along
these streams. The water fell in tor
rents and was accompanied by some
wind and hail and terrific lightning.
North and west it is said to have been
almost . cloudburst or waterspout.

which were followed by lengthy pro-
cession of buggies and wagons loaded
to the utmost. The graves were profusely
strewn with flowers and green plants,
and all who sleep beneath the sod were
honored by thoughtful and loving com.
rades, friends and relatives.
The memorial address was delivered
in the afternoon by Elder M. B. Ingle.
The G. A. R. and K. L. attended the
afternoon exercises in a bOdy-the
same as in the forenoon. The address
was certainly eloquent and patriotic: 1t
demonstrated the fact that the orator
had VIVID conception of the past and
great forethought for the future. A
selected choir furnished some good mu-
sic and four Rotations by Misses were
rendered.
1t Is with great pride that we note
the success with which these exercises
were attended, and it's to be hoped that
as the young generation attend and
participate in these ceremonies they
will be impressed with the responsible
ty of the American citizen so that their
efforts may be directed toward Improv-
ing their government, their race and
their fellow men. Our fathers fought
for free government, shed their blood
to maintain it, and it is incumbent up
on their posterity to preserve it. To
do this we must be intelligent, thought
full and earnest in our study and exer-
else of duty.
