The SOlf Boys i'm Trouble.

Albert and John Solf, of Sharon
township, and Charley Mussen, of Ce-
dar, got into difficulty about two
weeks ago which eliminated IN two
suits on Saturday. The Solf boys were
irst arrested on a charge of felonIous
assault but later they were permitted
to plead guilty to assault, before Justice
Collins. They were fined So and costs
amounting TO S42. After the disposal
ofthe criminal case Mr.. Musseu susd
the Soils for $3.50 damages.
The trouble was the result of an
old grudge. On the night of No.
yember oath, the Solf boys met MIR.

Matt Smith at Home.

The report given circulation last
week that Matt Smith, OF Turkey
Creek township. had skipped the coun-
try'' to escape liabilities is false and
without foundation. Mr.. Smith had
left home on business and pleasure
trip and some people became suspi-
ciOus that something was wrong. Even
commission firms which held paper on
his cattle became alarmed and took
possession of his stock. When Mr..
Smith returned, the commission men
turned all his cattle back to him and
apologized for acting so hastily.
The mortgage had not become due
and Mr.. Smith had more cattle than
the mortgage called for.
The Index makes this statement i'm
justice 20 Mr.. Smith. A clipping from
the Sawyer Sparks appeared In our col.
umns last week casting reflections on
the integrity of Mr.. Smith and it is on
ly fair that a correction be made. We
do this without having been requested
to do so, but we regard it as a matter
of duty and tight.

Pratt Wins; % to O.

The Medicine Lodge foot ball team
went down 10 honorable defeat again at
Pratt Thanksgiving day. The Pratt
team is the banner team in the state
and the Medicine Lodge boys have no
regrets to express.
Several papers stated that the Med-
cine Lodge team was made up of men
picked up at different places over the
state. This is mistake and an injus-
tlce to the NJ. l.. team. All of them
were home men,
The boys are well satisfied with the
treatment they received at Patt. The
game was played without any interrup
Jlon. Both sides put up the best game
they could, and the result shows that
the Pratt team outclasses orr boys.
In TIE way of accommodations the
Pratt boys treated their visitors royalty
and the defeated team came home
praising the victors. The Pratt root
oall club is master of everything it
has tackled this year.
