of town on last Saturday evening at
z O'Clock, of old age. Samuel Plotner.

Mr.. Plotner was unusually hale and

He removed with his family to
Platte county Missouri in 1876.
While there he united with the
church and hes since that time lived
an exemplary Christian life. In 1861
he moved into the territory of Kan
sas, locating ID Doniphan county
where he resided during the stormy
period of the civil war. Ten years
later in 1872 he came to Philips
county being one Of the earliest set
tiers of this county. La company
with five others he orgauIzed the
PhIllipsburg town site company and
founded the town. He built the first
house in town, bringing the lumber
with him on wagons from Doniphan
county.
Mr. Plotner WAS always a public
spirited man, and will be greatly
missed in this community. Mrs Plot

At Large Again.

The same night that Bert Grin es-
capped from the Stockton jail fine
mare was stolen from Rev. Rhosds,
the M. e. preacher at Webster, and q
saddle and bride from the barn of
J. w. Anderson. The next evening
the Bogue stage driver brought the
horse, bride and saddle back with
HIM, the animal having been picked
up by a colored man near Webster.
It is presumed that Grin stole the
property, rode to Graham county to
some friends place. then turned the
animal loose to find her way back
Grin is picturesque sort of criminal
and dangerous man to thwart. After
his departure an iron rod was found
under the mattress of his bed. On
one end lead had been pounded to
make 1t heavy. It was probably his
purpose to knock over the jailor when
q favorable opportunity appeared to
escape. The opportunity came in an
easier way and he successfully broke
for liberty without coat, hat or shoes.
Constable Hill, of Logan, is said to
have captured Grin eight different
times, and now there is another chance
for him to get in his work. Two days
Rftes Orin's escape Hill drew nearly
500 out of the Rocks county treasury,
as pay for the last capture. He has
evidently made good deal of money
out of Orin's rowing habits.-Rooks

BRONCHITIS CURED.

I have suffered several years with
bronchitis and catarrh Of the throat.
I have tried most all of the adver-
tised remedies, consulted the hest
physicians without getting relief. Fin
ally tried a bottle of Foley's Honey
and Tar. The first few doses gave
me such relief that I continued to use
it. After taking several bottles I was
cured entirely of the bronchitis and
cstarrh of the throat. It is the most
wonderful remedy I ever used. HRS.

by the chains of disease is the worst
