Free Eight at LaHarne

Friday was LaHarpe's time to cell
ebrate pay day with n free for all fight.
a number OF the young men sent away
for three kegs of beer and afte; drink
ing them went down town. Just west
of the depot they stopped to make up
the purse to pay for the refreshment
and one fellow refused to pay the last
dime assessed against him. Then a
fight followed and more broken heads
and bloody noses resulted than ever
before seen in that town.
Bill Hinzie had his head cut open
with beer bottle, Bill Engle OF Blue
Mound was cut about the head with a
retort, negro who works on the new
railroad and was laughingly watching
the fun was knocked down with a
brick bat by Harry Kelly, and the
town marshal, H. O. Fitch was felled
by piece of retort. All were cut
about the head and face and wher
they were lined up in justice court the
room looked like hospital after q
battle.

Long Suffering Wife Sues.

Sarah f. Gay has brought suit for
divorce against her husband George
l.. Gay, and If her statements are true
she is a much abused woman. She
says she welded the defendant in this
county in 1888 and they lived at Moran
until four years ago when they came
to lola. He was strong man but re-
fused TO work. He abused her, once
pushing her against hot stove and
refused to help support the family,
which includes four children. She
took in boarders, did washing and
house-cleaning and for the little house
they now own on North street she has
paid more than half. Not only does
he refuse to help her, but insists on
living at the house where he inter-
feres with the boarders, abuses her,
calls her all manner of vile names.
She asks for divorce, the custody of
her children, the possession of the
house and that he be compelled to pay
something toward supporting the fam
lily. This is her version and his side
has not been heard, but If the story
she tells the court is true Gay is a gay
deceiver in the matter of his marriage

Wild West Show Coming

lola has never seen avid west show,
having been missed by Buffalo Bill's
show which many saw, however, at
Ottawa But this year she is not to
be overlooked, having grown into the
Wild West class. Saturday Septemb-

is coming here. Pawnee Bill is an
interesting figure.
Gen. Nelson A. Miles, commanding
the army of the United States, was
asked during his recent visit to Cleve-
land if he had ever met Pawnee Bill.
"Oh yes" he replied, Il have met
him frequently on the frontier. Cor

WATER AND LIGHT REPORT
Quarterly Statement Showing the
Receipts and Expenses of the
Plants Owned by the City.

Plants Owned by the CITY
Superintendent w. l.. Allison Sat
urday night handed his quarterly re-
port of the receipts and expenses of
the water and light plants to the city
council. The figures will be an inter-
esting column for every tax payer and
every resident of lola.
No definite figures can be given
showing to a cent how much ahead or
how much behind the plants are run
ming as some of the money paid in has
been paid out for labor and some for
permanent extensions. But the general
showing seems to he very favorable,
although the report Of the committee
which will exhaustively examine the
report must be awaited before definite
results can be obtained. Mr.. Allison's
report is exhaustive and accounts for
every penny handled by him, tells
whence it came and where it went.
Below is given summary for the
three months from June to Sept. 10.
The city light plant consists of sixty
street arc lights and eighteen COM
mercial lights. The gross revenue
from the commercial lights was 1896
for three months. The gross expense
was $45S.96. So the cost for each
street light for each month is to the
city fraction over ninety cents.
The water report shows that l75
connections have been made, but as
many of these are used by two families,
there are 2l1 families paying for SER
vice. The gross income for meters,
service and taps was 50, 176.lS. The
gross expense was 81, ,G23.03. The net
income will be seen to be 1858. 10.
Some of these connections have been
in less than three months. Besides
the benefits above cited the city has
had siXty-five fire hydrants, with fire
protection. At S3 month, a cheap
estimate the city has received S5Sj
worth of benefit in the way of fire
protection.
To be added on the dark side is the
81, 1888 per quarter interest which
the city owes Mr.. Lanyon on the $780,
600 bonds. If the demand for water
keeps up as it has in the past the
receipts will constantly increase while
the expenses will remain fixed practi.
cally. The light plant was never eX-
Dected to be self-supporting and it is

The siegeI-sanders Failure.

The Siegel-Sanders Livestock and
Commission company is in the hands
Of Receiver Utley Wedge, of Joplin,
Mo. The order was made by Judge
Gibson, of Kansas City, Mo-, Tuesday,
on the petition of Frank Rockefeller,
of Cleveland, o., the brother of the
Standard Oil magnate, who is the
principal stock holder.
This company was organized under
the laws of Missouri in November,
1899, with a capital of $4,000. The
liabilities.'of the concern are about
100000, and the complainant alleges
against Frank Siegel, the president
and general manager of the company,
peculatiOn and Encouragement.
Among the assets of the concern is
the note of Roy DanieIson, of Chey-
enne county, for S2O,94437. The plan
of the stock management was to let
out cattle on commission, the receiver
Of stock giving as security his note
A large number of these cattle perish
ed in the March and April storms in
Cheyenne and Sherman counties. B.
McCluskey, J, J, Knight and others on
the Beavers, have been in charge Of
some Of the Siegel- Sanders cattle.
The county had an attachment
suit against this company for non pay
ment of personal property tax in the
district court, and got judgment, but
the company carried the case up, put
ting up a cash bond, so the county is
safe if successful in the higher court.

LAST OF THE SMALLPOX CASES
GOOdIand Only Town in This Section
Where Smallpox Did Not Get
Foothold.

The Dimmitt family were released
from quarantine Monday. It turns
out that the last case of smallpox was
contracted by Fred Dimmitt, not from
the family just released from quar-
antine the first time, but from broth
er, Everett Dimmitt, who came here
from Roswell the same day that Fred
Dimmitt went out to the home. The
Dimmitts at Roswell had also con-
tracted the smallpox from the boys,
who, returning from Liberal, Kan,
stopped there before they came to
GOOdland
This is the last case of smallpox
and presumably cleans up the con-
tagious disease in this county. The
board of health, and especially DR..
Farrow, county health officer, are to be
congratulated that smallpox did not
invade the town. In most of the towns
in northwest Kansas the contagion got
a foOthold, except GOodland, and this
fact is to be credited to the thorough
work done by the board Of health.

ECHO OF THE HUGO HoLD-UR.
The 1Iurdsrous Scene Drove J. ". OIfngsr
Insane and He Died in Pueblo
Last Sunday

J. W. Olinger, a Denver undertakers
died at a Pueblo sanitarium Sunday.
His mind was unbalanced by the scenes
of a train robbery, through which he
passed, and he never recovered, the
mental weakness turning into paraly-
sis, which caused his death.
Mr.. Olinger was a passenger on the
Union Pacific train which was held up
and robbed by the Jones boys at Hugo,
Col, last August. ". J. Fay, formerly
president Of the Denver Gas company,
had berth in the sleeper next to that
Of Mr.. Olinger. When the bandits
went through the car, Fay resisted and
was shot to death. This so unnerved
Mr.. Olinger that when he arrived at
Bloomington, Ill, be was a rs7ing
maniac, and had to be taken from the
train in shackles. He was taken back
to Denver by relatives, but never re-
covered his mind.

CLEARING HOUSE YARDS.
Railroads Inaugurate New System OF
Handling Cars Which Will Do Away
With the Belt Lines.

There has recently been established
in Chicago a great railroad economy.
It is located ten miles out of Chicago,
and is what is called the railroad
clearing house yards. Heretofore
freight cars have been distributed by
the belt line system, and the work
required is prOdigious. The new sys-
tenn is a great improvement over the
old methods of delivering and receiv-
ing freights.
The yard is in the shape Of an i'm
mense parallelogram with Y's and
switches at the angles. Within this
parallelogram the tracks are in the
shape of huge double headed torpedo,
and in the yard are % distributing and
classification tracks, and 70 receiving
tracks with a central Office and switch
ing station. All the roads centering
in Chicago are represented, and each
road has its proportiOnate amount
Of siding and trscksge.
As an illustration, suppose the Rock
Island has - carloads to deliver to
other lines. Its switch engine hauls
them over to the clearing house yards
and leaves them on 3 specified receiv-
ing track The engine is uncoupIed
and switches on to the line where it
couples on to a made up train Of all
freight cars to go over the Rock Island
road, and proceeds with them to the
freight yard OF the Rock Island line.
In this system there is no confusion,
no tumble, no blockade. Everything
is on a system and everything is simpli.
fed. As an illustration OF the econo-
my OF the clearing house method, from
q Rock Island railway official, TEE Re
PUBLIC representative was informed
that one switch engine and a crew Of
three men could accomplish IN two
hours what. under the old system, re
qnired eight engines and a men the
the same length Of time. Not only the
expedition OF business, but the savinR
in expense is new departure in rail
reading.

AMONG THE RAILROADERs.

The extra fast trains, according to
report, will be put on about the 18th of
June. If they are put on they viii
probably be known as Nos. Al and A.
as formerly.
Two Kansas jOintkeepera have be-
come insane brOoding over Carrie Ma
tons hatcht, aud Carrie is believed to
be insane brOOding over the jOintists.
This seems to be a mutual fatality.
No. 10, eastbOund passenger, Is doing
q good business hauling soldiers who
are returning from the Philippines.
The train has had q big crowd Of them
every day for the last few weeks.
Next year railroad men viii be able
to vote wherever they happen to be
on election day. The law authorizing
this went into effect May I, when the
statute book Was published. Another
act which is Of general interest over
the state is the one permitting per
sons to register By sending an afdda-
Wit to the city clerk.
On the Rock Island extension south
west from Liberal work vas interfered
with considerably on account Of drink
ing by the men. Ia one instance grade
work in Texas was retarded OF lot Of
bCOtleggers who invaded the camp and
got lot Of the men drunk with their
poor grade Of whisky. BOotleggers
made so much trouble that some Of
the contractors threatened to shoot
them. I'VE trust they viii do So re-
marked the Hardesty Herald, in telling
OF the trouble, sand that a verdict Of
/ justidabis homicide VII BE rendered
By the c0roner's jury.

Arrestsd on old Charre-

Fred Cole was arrested Saturday on
a warrant charging him with carrying
concealed weapons, disturbance and
fighting. Cole returned from Colo
RADIO only last week and the warrant,
which was issued January -, was ser
we'd upon him Saturday and he was
taken before Police Judge Leonard. A
continuance was granted to May ..
The trouble which caused Coles
arrest dates back to January last. He
and Phil Woke, a bartender, while tax
ing in the town one night created
disturbance in one Of the saloons. A
gun was discharged by one of the party
and a general disturbance was the re-
suit. Woke was fined in police court
at the time but ClOe had urgent bust
ness in Colorado the next day and the
warrant could not be served until the
prodigal returned.

FINE RAIN FELL YESTERDAY.
Commenced Falling Early In the Morning
ana Continued ThrouEhOut the Day
Prospects Very FlattsrInE.

For some time there has been an ap-
prehensiOn Of crop damage because OF
the dry cool weather and loss OF crop
By thistles and other weeds which
thrive in dry weather. But the rain
which came yesterday has changed the
entire aspect Of things. The wind had
been southerly for several days, and on
Wednesday evening large banks OF
clouds appeared in the southeast, and
threatened thunderstorms from that
direction. The night was still and the
huge pillows Of clouds spread out dur
ing the evening, covering the entire
horizon. About three o'clock Thurs
day morning a gentle rain began 70
fall, with little wind, and continued
through the day. 1t was general,
gentle downpour, which revived trees,
grass and crops. From the best in
formation obtainable this rain puts
crops in the county in splendid shape,
and in spite Of weeds the wheat crop
outlook is promising. Everybody is
encouraged, business men and mer-
chants as well as farmers, for all pros
perity and wealth comes from labor
and the soil. Every good gift cOmeth
down from above.

FENCING ORDER IS IGNORED.
Complaint From wallace Comfy That the
CattIemen Continue TO Violate the
Governments Instructions.
5. P. Ledger, of sharon springs, Sc

s. P. Ledger, OF Sharon Springs, says
that the order of the interior depart
ment at Washington to have fences
removed from government lands by
May 1 is ignored by cattlemen Of Wal
lace comfy. More fencing is going on
now than ever before, he says.
st is simply a question of few men
freezing out the settlers Mr.. Ledger
says. "The grab bing generally is done
by newcomers buying railroad land in
blocks of several sections, and fencing
everything in. In many cases the rail
road land sold was under lease, sub
ject to sale, and in buying the land
the newcomers destroy the means of
small stock raisers of keeping their
herds, and by fencing them off from
vacant government land they virtually
destroy their business.
''The suggestion that the order be
modified so that fences shall be re-
moved only where complaint is made is
simply scheme to discover who the
compliments are that they may be
driven out of the country. There is
but one hope for the small settler, and
that is for the government to enforce
It's order to the letter. If it be not done
many homes in the west will be de-
strOyed"
