A significant circumstance connected
with our mention of the library plan at
this place is that the Harper Sentinel
made the same comment as did the
Cresset in this city. One not CONVEX
SAINT with the matter would not see the
connection, but when no learns that
Chester L. Long originated the g. 0. D.
literature scheme and when 1t is also
brought to mind that he controls the
Cresset and Sentinel it is not strange
that the editorial matter in both sheets
on this Issue should bear such a close
resemblance. Ordinarily 1t would seem
that local paper published at Harper
would have no concern about local Ii
brary patronized by few partisans in
Medicine Lodge but under the peculiar
ownership and management of the
plant that sheet takes more interest in
foreign than domestic affairs. The In
DEX had hoped that it would not be
necessary to refer to this matter since
it drlfted into political affair but it
seems that the powers behind the throne
are not satisfied with silence. In JUS
sice all persons should have access TO a
public library and it should not be used
to Advance the political interests of
anybody.

Last Thursday Henderson Garten
called at this Office with Tommy Green
leaf. This Is the boy who was said to
have disappeared suddenly and myster-
iously last spring and many had sus.
pected foul play. The boy, previous to
his departure, had been in the employ
Of Mr.. Garten and on account of his
absence Mr.. Garten was put under a
cloud of suspicion. For this reason
Henderson made it his business to hunt
the boy up and bring him back to Bar
Der county to satisfy everybody that he
is alive. He found Greenleaf in the
southern part of the Strip and the lat
ter at once consented to come with him
to quiet all rumors. Mr.. Garten paid
the boys railroad fare back to Oklaho-
ma after having him here few days.
He naturally feels good over his vlndi-
cation and we congratulate him on hay
ing thus escaped the heinous and un-
just charge.

Each Of the Alvs papers of last week
contain general denial of a charge ov-
OF the signature of Prof. Geo. w. Dur
ham, principal of the Alva schools.
Some time ago rumor was freely cir
culated that Prof. Durham had entered
into conspiracy with others to remove
the normal faculty, have himself ap-
pointed and to have an inferior build
Ing constructed. All these charges are
emphaticalIy denied by the professor
and he challenges any person to pro-
duce evidence in their support. He
claims to have done as much hard
and faithful work as anybody in his
position could, for the Normal and
building. A rumor is an ugly thing
when It gets started on Its destructive
mission.

Assistant Marshal Stockstill got mix.
ed up in another fracas last SATURDAY.
afternoon and public sentiment was at
fever heat for awhile. Mr.. Stockstlll
undertook to arrest Mr.. Tedrow, a
nephew to FL. A. Tedrow, on account
of drunkenness, but Mr.. T. resisted
and after some skirmishing H. A. Ted
row told Mr.. Stockstill that he would
take charge of his uncle and take him
into the livery barn. MIR. Stockstill re.
luctantly yielded to the demand but it
was not long until he went into the liv.
cry barn and in the course of few re-
marks again attempted to take the man
to Jail. I'll. A. Tedrow, however refused
to yield. BY this time quite a crowd
had gathered to witness the ARRAY and
some warm words were exchanged.
The marshal pulled his gun and threat.
ened to shoot but better Judgment pre-
vailed and no violence was done. The
crowd soon dispersed and order was re-
stored. Matters remained quiet until
yesterday morning when Mr.. S. went
before Judge Potes and swore out a
warrant against III. A. Tedrow for in
terfering with and obstructing an Of
icer in the discharge of his official duty.
Mr. Tedrow was on hand promptly af-
ter the arrest, entered a plea of not
guilty and was put under his own re-
cognizance until Friday morning WREN
the trial will begin. In the meanti me
it is limited that counter suit will be
brought against Mr.. Stockstill on the
same charge. MIR. Tedrow, we under
stand, claims to have acted in his c. .
pacity as constable of Medicine Lodge
township and claims to have had the
right and power to take his uncle
into custody. If this strife between
the assistant marshal and the public
continues it will yet result seriously.
This is the second time since his ap-
pointment that Mr.. Stockstill came
near shooting and probably killing q
man. and if such deplorable' tragedy
were to be effected it would not only
cause serious trouble for those directly
connected but would also be an indeii-
bic stain on the city. While there is
yet time We hope better judgment will
guide the fortunes or the assistant
marshal and those with whom he comes
in so frequent contact.
