Jesse Bradfeld, q carpenter, was
arrested last Tuesday charged with
assault, by F. Z. Nottorf. Mr.
Nottori says he went to the shop
where Bradfeld works to collect a
Dill yesterday and was roughly re-
ceived, being threatened with bodily
harm. A jury trial was held in
Justices court Tuesday afternoon.
The jury found Jesse Bradfield
guilty Of assault on +. f. Nottorf on
Tuesday and he was fined IS and costs
making total Of $3.50, exclusive Of
bis attorneys fee, which he paid to-
day. As the bill which Mr.. Nottori

IS the process seems to have been
rather expensive.

ABILbNES ADVANCE.
P0sTOFFICE BUSINESS SHOWS A
HANDSOME GAIN.
Hsarly $1,000 More Business Done
During 1897 Than in the Previous
Year-A Reliable Index Of the
Towns Property.

One OF the most reliable meas ures
Of towns business is its postoffice.
The advance or retrogression Of its
receipts tell unfailingly how the
comm unity is prospecting
The Abilene postoffice report for
the year 1897 just completed by Post
master Strother shows that the re.
ceipts for the year were $S,9S4.7l. In
1895 Ghey were only $S,042.7S. This
gain Of nearly $1,000 in year shows
splendid advance in prosperity and
is one Of the most encouraging state
ments given out in long time. The
business for March was the largest
for any single month, $l,OS7; the
smallest was June, $57S
The amount of money orders issued
during the year was $lS,907. During
the last week Of the year 1879 orders
we're issued for 1907 .S3.
The amount of orders paid was
$26,S6S. During the last week there
were paid 255 orders for 81 ,66S ie:
The office closes very successful
year. The increased business has
kept the office force very busy but

master Elston and Clerks Focht and
Strother have given everybody salts

without friction and in a prompt and
accurate manner that has won com.

HAS FAITH IN ABILENE.
Prendergast to Add a New Line Of
Hardware and Stoves

Since the fire which destroyed }. L.
Prendergast's hardware stock he has
devoted his attention to implements
and vehicles and every farmer in the
county has learned that splendid bar
gains were to be secured in the opera
house block, nearly all of which has
been occupied by Mr.. Prendergast's
large assortment of implements, bug
gies, wagons, windmills, etc.
With the new year and in response
to the demands of his growing trade,
he has arranged to put in a complete
line of stoves and hardware and will
open about Jan. Is. This stock will
be entirely new and will occupy the
east end of the opera house block
which is being attractively fitted up
for it. 1t will include the hest and
most reliable makes of heating stoves,
cooking stoves, ranges, etc, as well
as shelf hardware Of all kinds, which
will be a welcome announcement to
the host Of patrons of Mr.. Prender-
CASTS establishment, 1t may also be
mentioned that this line of hardware
and stoves will be sold strictly on a
cash basis, thus enabling him to make
lower prices than can be possible on
the credit system. 1t will pay every
one needing hardware and stoves to
consult him because thus can be Sc
cured the lowest figures and the best
goods. The implement line will be
sold on the usual terms as a matter
Of accommodation.
Mr.. Prendergast's long and honora-
bic business career in Abilene and his
well known ability to sell good goods
at the lowest prices have made him
friends in every part Of the county.
His immense trade has proved the
popularity Of his store and methods
and he will in his new departure add
more laurels to his establishment.
Prendergast's guarantee is an assur-
ance Of perfect goods and the future
as the past will see an increasing pop
ularity and a growing volume Of bus
mess in all departments.

FOUND THE CHURCH SILVER.
Christian Communion Service Ware
Il Discovered.

Eddie Lord and three young COM
panions were playing about the emp
ty building north Of Upshaw's Tuesday
evening when in the cellar they saw
something shining. On investigation
they found it was the silver service
stolen from the Christian church some
weeks ago. Two goblets, two plates
and pitcher were discovered, none
being hurt except one Of the goblets
from which the bottom was broken.
1t is probable that the articles we're
hidden by the thieves in the expecta-
ton that a reward would be offered.
The basket in which the articles were
taken from the church was found
near the building few days after the
robbery.
