We noticed in a recent issue of
the Liberal News and also of our
'sesteemed" that Mr.. Edmonds, the
republican candidate for representa-
tive, stated that some one was cir
culating the story that he had sold
out his property and was going to
leave the country. This was the
first intimation we had of the story,
and it probably would never have
been known over here had not Mr..
Edmonds advised the people. How
ever, we never like to see a candidate
start into a campaign with "apolo-
gies." If he commences it he is
very likely to have to keep it up.
Last Tuesday afternoon, Glen,
the eldest son of Mr.. and Mrs. Tom
Sheddan, met with an accident that
may prove fatal. He had entered a
stall to feed horse some barley and
was retiring when he slipped in
some manner and fell just behind
the horses feet. The animal being
frightened kicked and struck the
little fellow on top of the head,
fracturing his skull and somewhat
bruising the brain. He got up ano
walked away from the barn and sal
down at the windmill, calling to hi:
father and telling him that the horse
had kicked him. He was immedi
ately brought to the city where Drs
Fee and Dickerson dressed the
wound which they pronounced very
dangerous. The most remarkable
fact is that the boy was conscious al
the time. At present he is getting
along nicely at the home of Mr.
Ragland. 1t is earnestly hoped thaf
he will recover.

"The Old Maids Convention"

The entertainment, "The Old
Maids Convention" which Will be
given two weeks from next Friday
at the City Hall is one which has
been presented throughout many of
the eastern states, and everywhere
it was was well received and very
pleasing to the audiences.
The Arena club will give this play
to raise money to buy new. piano,
which they hope to put in the City
Hall at some future time. Their
effort in this line is as praise-worthy
as it is ambitious, and every citizen
will surely be interested and do all
they can to further this movement.
There can be no good entertain
ment without music and it is possible
to secure a better class of entertain
ments with a good instrument in the
hall.
Attend this entertainment. You
will get the full worth of your mon
ey and help a good cause.

An old colored lady came into
town last week from the north afoot.
She said that she had come from
Meade and was going to Woodward.
She passed through town about s
O'Clock and went on out in the coun-
try in the vicinity of Mrs. Cartmels
place and stopped out on the prairie
for the night. Fearing that she was
demented, Mrs. Cartmel sent her
son, Charlie, over to get Gene
Groves and they brought the woman
back to town. They took her to the
Fox hotel and Mr.. Fox said that she
might stay all night and they made
her bed in the kitchen. The next
morning when the family arose the
old darkey was not to be seen.
Some time the next day she was seen
out on Clear creek, which is about
IL miles south of here. She refused
to go to any house so some one took
her lunch which she ate under the
trees and then started on west. The
next that was seen of her, Bob Nc
Farland came to town and notified
the sheriff that she was out about
his place q miles west of town wan
dering about among the cattle. The
sheriff sent man out to look for
her but she could not be found

The Loewe Case.

The case of Mrs, Johanna @. Loewe
for damages against the A. 4. y s. Il,
II, r Co., was tried In the district
court the Iaet of the week. 1t was a
suit growing out Of the accident which
happened to the plaintiff at Partridge
about year ago, In which she lost u
foot, 1t was on circus day and large
crowd rode out from Hutchinson.
The cars were crowded and the plain
tiff alleged that the employees of the
railroad were negligent In not stop
ping the train long enough for her to
get of, and in not assisting her to
alight, 40 was their duty. The train
started while she was getting off and
she was thrown between the platform
and the train aud the wheels passed
over her ankle, making necessary the
amputation OF her foot,
The defendant corporation claimed
that the train was stopped from four
10 six minute aud introduced large
number of witnesses to prove that fact.
They therefore contended that II she
stayed on the train until after II was
moving it was her negligence. The
case was given TO the jury Saturday
afternoon. That night the judge dis
charged them till Monday morning
when they resumed consideration of
the case. 1t finally resulted In hung
jury they standing ten to two for the
plaintiff as we understand.
