WHICH DIED FIRsT7
A POinu on Which q Life Insurance. Claim
Hinges-Parties TO the Tragedy
Lived In GoodIand

The outcome Of q suit fled Tuesday
by Thomas J. Seehorn, administrator
Of the estate Of Arthur L. Shook,
against the Fidelity and Casualty CON-
pany, must depend on whether Shook
or his wife died first.
On November 4, 1896, Mrs. Shook
came to Kansas City and engaged q
room at the Belmont hotel, Ninth and
Central streets. The following day
Shook appeared and found her. AfeW
minutes after his arrival the occupants
of the hotel heard pistol shots. When
discovered both were dead.
Shook had q life insurance policy in
the Fidelity and Casualty company. It
was payable to his wife in case she sur
yITed him, otherwise 20 certain friends.
Mrs. Shook had q daughter named
Myrtle Moose. Miss Moose now SAYS
her mother survived Shook few min
utes and that she can bring a witness
to prove that when he arrived st the
scene Of the tragedy her stepfather was
dead, but that her mother was gssping
for breath and died almost immediate
y afterward.-Kansss City Star.
The parties to the tragedy lived In
GOOdland at one time, Shook being
employed on the Rock Island rosd as a
brakeman Miss Moose attended the
public school when they lived here.
Shook was jealous Of his wife and shot
her and then killed himself.

BEEcHER ISLAND.
Exercises Commemorative of the Famous
Battle of the Arfckaree Fought
in 1868

The anniversary Of the battle OF
Beeeher island, fought In 1868 between
a band of about 90 scouts and plains
men under Col. SANDY" Forsythe, and
500 Indians under Chief Roman Nose,
was celebrated Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday of this week at Wrsy, Col
In connection with the celebration the
old soldiers Of eastern Colorado held
reunion. Survivors of the engagement
attend the anniversary each year, the
exercises being held on the battlefield.
Beecher island, so named for Lieut..
Beecher, who was second in command
and lost his life in the battle, is a small
island in the Arickaree fork of the
Republican river a few miles from
Wray, and efforts have been made to
make it national park and to erect a
suitable monument on the battle
ground, No more unequal contest and
no more desperate fighting ever oc-
CURED on the frontier AMI these an
nual celebrations are a fitting memory
to the valor of the men who fought in
that terrible conflict of nine days.
The Indian outbreak of 1868 was a
bloody uprising in which many set
tiers and their families were murdered
and tortured and their property car
ried off and destroyed Col Forsythe
was sent out from Fort Wallace Sept
ember 6 with a command of about 80
scouts to suppress a band of fully 500
savages that were striking terror TO
the settlers of western Kansas and
eastern Colorado. The Indians were
encountered the sixth day out on the
Arickaree and the small band of sol
diers took refuge on the small island
from the fierce onslaught of the savages.
The Indians we're successfully repealed
and when night came two of the scouts
volunteered to crawl through the lines
of surrounding Indians and go to Fort
Wallace for relief After nine days of
fierce fighting and torment in which
Chief Roman Nose and fully 70 of his
braves bit the dust and the little be-
sieged party had been reduced to .
and all their horses killed, reinforce
ments came and the Indians were
driven off, Col. Forsyth was wounded
three times, Lieut.. Beecher and Dr.
Mooer, the surgeon of the party, and
II Of the scouts were killed.

AFTER THE NJ Reunion.
Delegation Goes to WaKeeney to Capture
the G. A. h. Reunion Of 1902
for GoodIand.


Wallace Filler, John Bray and J. B.
Trent left for WaKeeney Tuesday as a
delegation from ". s. Robertson post
No. 428, G. A. R, to attend the six
teenth annual reunion Of the North
western Kansas Veterans association,
to be held at that place September Is
to 81. The delegation will make
strong fight to secure the next reun-
ion for Goodland and their efforts will
no doubt meet with success. J. H
Stewart accompanied the delegation at
their request to make a talk before the
reunion for GOodland in 1902.
The citizens of GoodIand have guar
anteed to subscribe 800 to entertain
the old veterans should the reunion
come here next year, and it is planned
to hold celebration of the fifteenth
anniversary of the town in conjunc-
ton, as was done in 1892. GoodIand's
anniversary falls on September 3, and
an effort will be made to have the re-
union here on that date.
The reunion and celebration Of 1892
was a grand success and the old vete-
rams still speak enthusiastically of
Goodland's hospitality, and should
they come again next year they will
surely be royalty entertained.

Did It Ever Occur TO You ,

Men will even ask and expect an
item of news to be suppressed
when the entire community is al
ready talking about it. They will ask
the editor not to mention a certain oc-
currence when, as a matter Of fact, its
publication would harm no one, relates
the Little Rock Democrat. If the
paper declines to leave out the item
the applicant becomes very indignant;
if it yields, and a contemporary later
publishes the news, it never occurs to
the gentleman that he has injured the
legitimate business of a Newspaper
and that be ought to apologize and do
so no more. On the country, when q
local paper leaves out an item which
appears later in an out of-town journal
the very men who asked for its sup
preston are the ones to say, aYou must
read such and such a paper to get the
news" Did it ever occur to the men
who request a newspaper not to pub
lish q certain item that it would be
Just as reasonable to ask merchant
not to make a certain sale?

STORY OF A LOST COW.
She Fell in a Well and Calmly Eats Grass
When Rescued from Her Nine
DAYS imprisonment.

Herman Greiger, living in Voltaire
township, missed a COW from his herd
gent search failed to reveal her where
abOuts. Finally, when the cow was
about given up as lost, Mr.. Greiger
thought of an old abandoned we'll on
his range and concluded he would look
there. The COW was found in the we'll,
which was about 80 feet, and was sitting
on her launches, apparently unin-
jured.
By excayating and using ropes the
animal was gotten out, and when safe
" on the surface she calmly com
menced grazing where she had left of
nine days before.

Standard Time

References in the papers to the hour
at which the president was shot usu-
ally carry with them q statement that
it was eastern time. A dozen or more
have asked where the dividing line be
tween our time aid eastern time is. It
begins at Detroit and runs in an ire
gular way TO Charleston, South Caro-
Inns. The dividing line between csn-
tral and mountain time runs from Bis
marck, S. D., to the mouth Of the Rio
Grsnde river, passing through dc
Cook, Neb-, Phillipsburg and Ellis,
Kansas. The line between mountain
and Pacific time is approximately the
west lines Of Idaho, Utah and Arizona.
Beginning in the eastern division the
time is an hour earlier in each division
as one comes vest. For example when
it is u o'clock in New York it is II st
Chicago, ten at Goodland and nine st
San Francisco.
