A Baptist church is being organ
lied IN Bucklin. This is the third
church organization for the town
the Free Methodists, the Methodists
and Baptists. When Western Kan
sas doesn't keep in the front on ed
ucational and church advantages no
other section need apply.-Bucklin
Banner.
The Catholic Bishop is here from
Wichita, with other leaders of the
church, for the purpose of buying
the Soule College properly. The
property IS of no use to the pub
lie now, and there is a universal
hope that the deal will be consumat-
ed.-Dodge City correspondent in
Bucklin Banner.
Harvey Grace, the stockman of
Cheney, has purchased a I6, 900
acre ranch in Meade county from c.
P. Fullington, of Wichita. The pas
ture is fine piece of land and Mr..
Grace proposes to make permanent
stock farm of the place. He will
still keep his residence at Cheney,
but will move all his stock, approIi-
mately 4, 900 head of cattle, to his
ranch. He will build big ranch
houses and barns and improve the
place until he has one of the best
stock farms in the state.-Dodge
City Globe-Republican.
Engine 5o2, one cf the recently
constructed oil burners was in the
city to-day, on its way to California,
where it will be put in service. 1t
is neat looking locomotive and re-
sembled the eight wheel McQueens'
which are so popular among the en-
gine men. 1t is said they are be-
coming an economical locomotive
in the region where the oil is pro-
duced, and if this is the case, it will
not be a great while until they are
pressed into service all over the en-
tire system.-Newton Republican.
The people of ingalls, township
are seeking to avoid the payment of
the tax levied to pay the interest on
the old sugar mill bonds. The levy
was made on order of Attorney Cen
eral Goddard, who directed that a
tax sufficient to pay all back inter-
est be imposed. Judge Madison,
who was here investigating the mat
ter for the taxpayers, says the levy
will have to be met, unless the At
torney General can be induced to
modify his order. But one thing is
certain-the old sugar mill bonds Ga
rank steal) will have to be paid.
The matter has been carried to the
highest courts and decided adverse
ly to the township.-Cimarron Sen
tinel.
An elderly gentleman who has
been working at the roundhouse,
went crazy last week. He evident
ly had matrimony on the brain and
that may be the reason for losing his
mind to some extent. We under
stand that he asked a number of
young ladies in Bucklin to marry
him, but there are so many good
looking old bachelors in town who
are good workers, well-to-do and
have their right minds that the
ladies did not fall over each other
in an attempt to accept the old gen
tleman's proposition for marriage.
Friday Sheriff Hale was notified of
his actions and came down and took
him up to Dodge City. The old
man said he was sick and wanted to
go to the hospital in Topeka. Mr..
Hale, in order to avoid trouble in
taking him to Dodge told him he
would go along with him and see
that he got through safely and pur-
chased tickets for both of them to
Dodge City. The old gentleman,
