The fact is that science has got the
better of the cow. Butter is nothing
more than the food eaten by the cow,
subjected to certain internal processes,
and precipitated into the milk, from
which it is extracted in the form of
fat. In margarine factory the same
result is effected, and the fat of cows
and oxen is converted into butter with
out the intervention of the COW. The

Shooting Scrape.

Quite an exciting affair took place in
the eastpart of town, Sunday evening, in
which Tom Dunaway was shot in one arm
and his'skull broken bvJames Reed, color
ed. There are so many stories alloat as
to the cause of the trouble that it is diff
cult to decide which is right or who is to
blame. Some blame Reed, while others
blame Dunaway. 1t scenes, however,
lhat there has been ;ll-teeling for some time
between Reed and the family ola widow,
Mrs. Foster, white woman who lived
near Reed. Dunaway was going with
the Foster girl and was with her when
the shooting took place. 1t is reported
that Dunaway took up the scrap" be-
tween Reed and Mrs. Foster, and threat
ened to shoot Reed; that he was at Mrs.
Fosters during the aftarnoon, and made
some threats; he had a gun and threat
ened to kill Reed that Reed started to
town after an officer and met I)uuaway
and the girl where some words were cx-
changed, when Reed pulled his revolver
and shot Dunaway through an elbow,
then struck him with a stone. afterward
beating him over the head with the'fevol
yer, crushing the skull Officers were
called, Reed was arrested and taken to
Jail. On Monday, Reed was arraigncd
before Justice McD9nald, and plead
not guilty. His trial is set for Sept .4th.
Shortly after the trouble between Reed
and Dunawav, Dorsey Foster attempted
to shoot Vim. Carter. coiored, but the PTS
toll failed to go off, Foster was arrested
and, on Monday morning, appeared be
fore Justice Mcdonald and gave bond! for
his appearance Aug. 3lst. Dunaway is
in critical condition, but is reported as
improving.

MINERAL in ANDERSON
COUNTY.

The other day, in conversation witeT.
E. Bump, of Putnam township, he said:
Wears ago, when was quite a boy. ]. 5.
b lllou, Joe Fox and ran a wolf up the
side of the bluff on Henry Wolken's farm.
1t was she wolf, and she ran into hole,
where we found that she had some cubs.
We wanted the cubs, SO begun digging in
to the hole. After working quite while.
unsuccessfully, we gave up the search for
the little wolves, but, on looking at the
stuff, we had dug out, we found a hatful
of something that looked like mineral.
Mr.. Ballou said it was some kind of min
eral; So we gathered it up and took it
away with us. The old man sent some
specimens to an assavist, who analysed
it and reported that it was silver and lead.
Here the matter dropped nobody made
any effort to discover how much mineral
might he found there" Years ago, ID. B.
Wheeler. an odd old genius who lived in
and about Greeley, made some bullets out
of some material which he said he found
amoung the hills east of Greeley. He
would not tell the exact location of his
find" and the secret died with him. We
have no doubt that there is mineral in
paying quantities in the hills of Anderson
county, which could readily be found b.;
any one acquainted with mineral indica-
tons. The time may come-doubtless
will-when rich minerals will be discov-
cred in much of the territory in eastern
Kansas. We have also heard it stated
that there Is an abundance of shale suit
able for moking fircproof brick about
Garrett. Should we be fortunate enough
to discover gas, this shale will be utilized;
and in that case Garnet has bright flu
