Brick Men Want Better Rates.

l.. H. Northrup and l.. L. Ponsler
returned last Friday from Coifey-
Vile where they went recently to con-
fer with the brick manufacturers of
Montgomery county. The brick maxi
ers have developed the business in the
gas belt until they can make more
brick than they can sell and there is
need of an enlarged territory. They
feel that the railroads do not give
them rates as low as deserved and will
make united effort to bring the mat
ter to satisfactory conclusion with
the roads. A railroad solicitor will
spend a whole day inducing man to
ship a car of cattle over his line but
brick, which is less of risk and less
trouble, is not deemed worth noticing
The Kansas men want to break into
Texas and the roads can ship brick in
empty stock cars being hauled back
into that state at very reasonable
rates.

Overheard on the Telephone.

BY the grounding of wires the long
distance telephone lines between lola
and Ft. Scott are mixed and several
funny things have happened. The
other day man at Moran heard a
merchant at Ottawa dickering with
man down south of Moran for lot of
hides. The man who got in at Moran
suddenly broke into the negotiations
with the exclamation; 80, give him
TWEEN ty-five cents more" And Sunday
morning far funnier thing happened.
The manager of one of the lines stepp-
ed to a local exchange phone and took
down the receiver. He was surprised
to find that someone was talking to
F't Scott and the conversation could
be distinctly heard. AS he was about
to hang up the receiver he heard his
own name mentioned and naturally
waited minute. He found that the
lola man was talking to his central
girl at Fort Scott and roasting him
good and plenty at the time The girl
asked if the man talking was the TT.
Scott manager and was told that the
manager was in the gutter and better
man than he ever was was talking to
her. He incidentally inquired if she
was blond or brunette. The man.
ger let the conversation run along
until he had heard enough and then,
hav ing recognized the lola mans
voice, broke in and turned the laugh
on the other fellow. The wires are
or ounded and the interference is get
| ting very bad.

Miss Travis in u Runaway.

While Miss Sadie Travis was driv-
ing to town Friday with several
dozen nice fresh eggs in the buggy,
her horse became frightened just east
of town where the wagon road and the
railroad run close together, and ran
away. Miss Travis kept her wits and
hung onto the lines, guiding the fright
ened animal down the middle of the
road and fortunately stopping hin
about half mile further on her jour
ney. The buggy came very nearly up
setting time or two and severa
dozen fresh eggs were neatly scram
bled along the road.

Sensation at Moran.

From Daily Register March IS
1t is surprise to every body to find
the gentle little city of Moran break
ing into evidence with rival for the
Jennie Rosschietr case of.Newark N.
j., for which three young men were
sent to the penitentiary. But Moran
is in no wise to blame, the crime was
the deed of strangers residing in the
town.
On Wednesday afternoon II. v.
Brockett, travelling dentist was ar
rested on suspicion of being guilty of
drugging two girls who work at the
Pennsylvania Hotel at Moran, and
also negro boy who worked for
him. County attorney Goshorn in
vestigated Friday and believing
that he had not got the right man, put
Brocket under $500 bond and con-
tinued the hearing until April 3.
On the night of March 9TH two girls
at the hotel and negro boy who
worked for Brockett we're in a room
at the hotel and were given poison in
whisky. One of. the girls, Grace Grey,
was found in serious condition the
next morning and the hotel people,
ignorant of what had transpired feared
s he was taking the smallpox and she
was sent to her home south ofIBur-
lington. When it was learned tina
she had been poisoned, her flesh being
badly swollen, an investigation began
and Mr.. Brockett was arrested finally,
b ut the real scoundrel skipped out the
nj ght following the deed. Strong evil
deuce points to Brocketts Innocence.
He played cards in the Office till 10
o'clock on the night of the deed and
when he went to the room spent his
time in getting his colored boy re-
stored. One of the girls took so little
of the drug that she escaped injury,
but the negro boy was out of his head.
He is at present in the lola JAIL hav-
ing been found guilty of theft at the
hotel.
Moran people are very indignant
over the affair and every effort will
be made to follow the excellent clues
available and bring back the real
william who perpetrated the real deed
and hand him the punishment he SC
richly deserves.
