walls and invarious parts of the room,
were maps, letters, manuscripts and
drawings which showed great deal of
clever skill and talent, Each pupil had
share OF the work. The patrons have
been greatly pleased with the general
conduct OF the school. Prof. S. p. Row

LAST week the various trustees OF the
townships along the line of the c, K, &
w. railroad commonly known rs the
Santa Fe branch which runs from here
TO Kinsley, which had voted bonds in
aid OF this road, and the county COM
missioners, received checks from treas
urer Wilder Of the Santa Fe for five per
cent OF the face value of the stock taken
and held by them In accordance with
terms of the proposition at the time of
voting the bonds. The letter also in
closed with the checks blank receipts
for the money with instructions to re-
turn with the stock, This operation Is
stated to be in accordance with an agree
ment between the two companies, the
c. K. 81 w, and the Santa Fe in com
plance with law passed at the last
session Of the legislature "Enabling rail-
road companies to dispose of their prop
erty." Center township has cashed its
stock as requested by the letter but that
Is the only one, The others are holding
on their stock and investigating what it
is best to do, The Santa fe stock is
now said to be selling at about sixty five
cents on the dollar, which is indeed
quite different from five cents. How

ment on foot in line with the other con
solicitations to consolidate the Santa Fe
with the Pennsylvania system, and this
may be an attempt to clean up some
thing preparatory TO that event, 1t is
very certain that there is no law com
pelling the surrender Of such stock on
the part Of the townships and counties

render it they should do it in a way to

A HoIoiup.

Saturday night as Mr.. II, King, the
furniture man, was on his way home
from the store and nearing his resi-
dence. two men stepped out from be.
hind some large trees, one of them
caught hold of him, showed gun in his
face and shouted holdup He had not
more than done this before Mr.. King
had broke away and ran like profes-
sional sprinter. He succeeded in out
running them and went into his house.
Later in the night his hired girl was
awakened by someone raising a window.

r,King was awakened also and the
men who had gained access to the
house were frightened away They
were surely very persistent, but they
got nothing, About the same time other
people in town complained Of seeing
men on their porches and about their
windows but no entrances were re-
ported The police picked up several
suspicious characters and held them on
the charge of vagrancy, not being able to
get further evidence against them Mr..

City Appointments Agreed Upor

City Appointments Agreed Upon,
The mayor and the council held a
pivate meeting last Thursday night to
agree upon the appointments for the
various city officers. After a full and
free discussion it was agreed to decide
by ballot and the mayor reserved the
right to vote only in case OF tie. The
first officer decided upon was marshall.
While Ballenger got one vote, the con-
test was between George Hern and
Frank Nicholson, 1t was a singular
thing that practically all the old mem
bers of the council, including those
elected on the wet ticket year ago
stayed by Nicholson, while the new
members voted almost solidly for Hern,
Councilman L. d. Pollock of the third
ward was suppoenaed to Anthony on
suit and was not present. Had he been
present he would have probably voted
for Hern. This would have made tie
which the mayor would have decided
Mr.. Nicholson has made an efficient Of
fcer in his service, and backed by
strong mayor and council will no doubt
enforce the law thoroughly.
There was not much OF contest for
city clerk, and G, S, Bourne was selected.
For city attorney Howard Lewis was
the only applicant and he was selected.
Mr. Lewis is an ambitious young man
who desires to rise in his profession and
will no doubt give more OF his atten-
ton than most of the older lawyers
would. Mr., Lewis is also attaining a
very good standing among the lawyers
of the bar for one who has been in the
profession so short time:
The policemen selected were S. o.
Champion, assistant, Dewitt c. Prem
tice and G.. N. Reed. 1t is expected
that Reed will also act as street com.

An Awful Mess.

On Monday motion for a new trial OF
John b, Brooks charged with statutory
rape on his eleven year old daughter
came up for hearing in the district court.
1t was accompanied by an affidavit from
the little girl stating that she was sorry
she had taken the step she had in max.
ing the complaint, that she was insti-
gated to do it by her step-mother who
had threatened to send her to the re-
formatory if she did not do it, and that
II she were given new trial she would
add new testimony which she was not
permitted to do in the first trial, She
was also placed upon the witness stand
where for long time she stoutly de-
clared she had testified falsely against
her father because her step-nother had
threatened her, She held out to this
statement through searching cross ex-
animation till the judge questioned her
very sharply If not threateningly, she
broke down and cried, then said he did
do it. However this might not have
been conclusive in the way it was done
she might have felt that it would be bet.
ter for her to admit the story as she had
told it than to admit herself guilty with
some one else. With the evidence of
such children not old enough to realize
the enormity OF the thing, and testifying
both ways it is very difficult matter to
arrive at the truth, The motion for a
new trial was not granted and the case
will be appealed, where in our opinion
it will be reversed.

Cut Her Throat,

Between eleven and twelve o'clock
Monday morning there was an attempt
at suicide by one OF the most abhorent
methods, in the west part of town by a
young wife who was for the time at least
dera nged, The woman was Mrs, Wiley

of avenne A school house, She had
been out OF her mind at times for sew
eral days and only day or two before
had attempted her life by taking ac-
conite but was saved by the timely ar
rival of DIR, Duval, She was being
watched by others who live in the same
house and on noticing that she had dis
appeared on sudden they commenced
a search finding her in a barn with
several gashes across her throat made
by razor, one Of which had cut through
into her wind-pipe. None had reached
the jugular vein, She is the mother o
a babe only five months old which she
had taken with her when she attempted
the awful deed The husband who is
considerable Of religious enthusiast

at the house a lew minutes after she was
found.
Although the wounds were though to
be fatal she is still living and may pos

Stolen Horses Recovered.

Two fine driving horses that were
stolen from this city a week ago last Sat
urday night were located last Thursday.
One the fine trottng mare belonging to
Mr. F. c. Ira which was taken from his
stable was held by the Sheriff of Barber
county at Medicine Lodge. And what
was Mr.. lra's astonishment to read in the
telegram announcing the fact that
the man in possession of the mare was
Garfield Cole, a young man some eigh-
teen or twenty years of age and nephew
who lives in Newton, Young Cole had
driven the mare considerably and taken
a great fancy to her The sheriff of
this county went Immediately to Medi-
cine Lodge for the young man.
The same day that word was received
from Mr.. lra's mare another message
was received from the sheriff at Med
ford, Oklahoma, stating that he had in
his custody Mr. Wofen's horse, buggy
and the man who had taken them. The
notices sent out described the horse and
buggy which was stolen from in front of
the Catholic church so thoroughly that
they were easily identified. The sheriff

Extradlted Them,

Two young men who have been in
generated in the reformatory for some
time were last week turned over to the
sheriff OF Cass county Missouri TO be
taken there and sent to the Missouri
penlte ntiary for robbery, The
right name of one ofthe young men Is
said to be Jason Hammond but he came
to the retormatory under the name of
Joe Miller The other mans name is
Compton. One of them escaped some
time ago and Superintendent Simmons
learning that he formerly made head
quarters in Missouri, sent number OF
cards with his description and photo
graphs to a number Of places thereabout.
Word soon came that he was not there
but was wanted for robberies and was a
tough character. Subsequently he was
recaptured in Kansas City and returned
here. The two men we're sent here for
robbery in lola and upon the showing
OF the Missouri authorities regarding
the character of the men, it was
concluded that they were not fit men
for reformatory purposes, and Mis-
souri, might gladly have them
If she wanted them, So Governor Stan.
ley issued requisition for them and
they were taken to Missouri. Probably
Kansas would be willing that Missouri
should take all our criminals on similar
.rems, il she wished.

A Happy Defendant.

When the jury in the case against
Tom Johnson returned a verdict the de-
fendant is said to have been a happy
man. The jury found him guilty too,
but on so much lighter a charge than
the information alleged that he consid-
cred it a victory. He was charged with
robbery and the penalty is not less than
ten years in the penitentiary His part
ner Jim Spradley Immediately abscoded,
and the testimony of the man Maier
IRON Missouri was straight to the point
as charged. However his testimony
was weakened by the fact that deveI-
oped on the witness stand that he had
been drinking before the alleged rob-
berry and aiterward he was taken off the
street by the police in an intoxicated
condition. This is evidently the cir
cumstance that mitigated the finding of
the jury to finding Of petit larceny.
However it is claimed by Maier's friends
that he was drugged and did not get
over for many weeks.
There will be no appeal or application
for new trial. The defendants attor.
ney is afraid they might get it. How
ever he will be likely to get a sentence
to the limit of the law which is a year
in jail. He was defended by Prigg &

The case of Mrs. Johanna c. Lowe OF
Chicago against the Santa Fe for DANA
ges occassioned by the loss Of foot was
terminated Thursday noon when the
jury returned a verdict in favor of the
plaintiff for S4oo5oo, The amount sued
for was sIoooo,oo but of course the
plaintiff did not expect this amount to
be secured in the verdict. Prigg &
Williams, council for the plaintiff seemed
to be very well pleased with the amount
allowed. However the case will no
doubt be appealed to the supreme court.
A railroad never leaves such verdict in
in the lower courts, The first Jury that
tried the case hung, but it is said they
stood ten to two in favor of ver-
dict for then. So the equity of the case
must appear to be on her side. But il
