The commissioners have . fair sized
elephant on their hands in tho G.. and
o. Mills tax matter. The case was
heard on Monday, and, while we were
not present, we understand there was
a warm exchange of words. The con-
troversy arose from the fact that T0nk
and Govan each claimed their exemp-
tions on bunch of cattle while Msssrs.
Nay and Rankin held that they were
not entitled to exemptions for the rea-
son that the cattle were company prop.
erty. Commissioner Walker dissented.
The Mills brothers will refuse to pay
the tax ana the matter will be tested
in the courts. A prominent cattleman
says that Tonk and Govan have pr.
vate brands as well as q company brand
and that the cattle on which they claim
their exemptions are branded as pri.
vate property. The exemptions were
not disputed last year.

James Finley died Friday morning.
July IA. 1899, at S O'Clock, after four
weeks of great suffering. The funeral
services were held in the evening of the
same day. The services were largely
attended as demonstration of the es-
TEEN in which the deceased was held
by our citizens, though having resided
in the city little more than one year.
The deceased was born in Kentucky
but removed with his parents to Ray
county, Missouri, when quite young.
In the fall of 1882 he, with his brothers,
John and Thomas. removed to Frank
lin county. Kansas, where they resided
two years, and from thence came to
Barber county, locating near Sexton
where they operated successful cattle
ranch. In the winter of 1897 they sold
their live stock and real estate and
came to Medicine Lodge where they
have since resided. James was SO years
of age and is survived by three brothers
Thomas and John, who reside here
and a married brother who lives in Mis-
souri,.
The Finley brothers are among Bar
Der county's most upright and highly
respected citizens. They are in good
circumstances financially and all has
been accumulated by honest labor and
straightforward business methods.
hox al -o6 hov IN,
harmony and the separation of one of
one of them is doubly sad.
The deceased was faithful member
of the Christian church and applied his
christianity to his every day life. AS
man, citizen ana neighbOr his death is
greatly deplored and the united sympa
thy Of the people who are acquainted
with them, is extended to those who
mourn.
Elder NJ. B. lngle conducted the fun
eral services. Interment in Highland
cemetery.
Robert H. Estill departed this life on
Wednesday, July IL. 1899, at the ad.
vanced age of71 years. He was we'll
known throughout Barber and Conan
che counties and has been identified
with live stock pursuits for many
years. His ranch is located in the
southeastern part of Comanche county,
on Mule creek, and Is recognized as one
OF the leading stock farms in south
west Kansas.
Mr.. Estill suffered severe attack of
grip during the winter but in the spring
seemed we'll again, though his most in
innate friends say he never completely
recovered. His death was very sudden
and the sad news was great shock.
He was confined to his bed less than "a
hours. 1t is supposed his death was
caused from brain affection. The fun
eral service was held on Thursday and
the remains laid to rest in the Coldwa-
ter cemetery.

ly known, was a pioneer settler. He

JOHN BROWN HURT.

On Monday evening at $50 J. w.
Brown fell from the roof of the EplscO-
pal church building On which he was
working, end struck the slope of the
brick foundation on the east. He was
carried TO his home immediately and
Doctors Moore and Moessner were
summoned. The physicians disagreed
as to the nature of his injuries. DIR.
Moore contends that the shoulder blade
is broken while DIR. Moessner says that
no bones are broken but that the back
and shoulders are badly bruised. Mr..
Brown suffered great pain the first few
hours after the accident happened and
it was thought at the time he could
not recover, but neither of the physi-
clans, after having made an examlna-
ton, thought it would eDd fatally.
I Yesterday he rested as well as
could be expected. 1t is the wish
and the hope of his many friends that
he may soon be able to be up again.
John has met with hard luck during
the past few years and all regret the
misfortune. The accident happened
by the scaffold on which he was work
ing giving away.
