Government Survey.

ED. Preston, Of the United States
coast and geodetic survey, was in Good
land several days this week. He located
the court house in GOodland at longi-
tude six hours and 46115 minutes west Of
Greenwich. This is equivalent to 4612
minutes west Of St. Louis. The lati-
tude is 80 degrees and y minutes. The
variation of the needle is u degrees; the
dip Of the needle is IS degrees from the
horizontal. The surveyor makes his
reports to the government at Washing
ton and the observations are preserved
in the records Of the department. Geo
detic survey means survey of the earth,
so it will be understood that the govern
ment not only surveys its coast, but suF-
veys points inland in the United States
and takes observations on all the CONT
nents Of the globe and on the islands Of
the sea.
Mr.. Preston has crossed the equator
six times, has worked in Africa, South
America, the Hawaiian and South Sea
Islands. He is a native of Pennsylvania
and his home is in Washington, D. G
The points Of observation were a GER
tain square stake driven in the street
near the fence of the court house yard
on line north and south with the water
closets; the pinacIe of the Congregation
al church, the flag staff of the First Ma
tional bank and the flag staff on the
public school building.

BAD MEN IN CHEYENNE.
The Sawyer Brothers Establishing an IN
wholesome Reputation in Chey-
enne COunty-SOme Of Their
Deeds.

In a letter sent last week to the
Rustler of St. Francis, E. Chaffe, of
Jaqua, Kan, gives some unpleasant
characteristics Of his neighbors, the
Sawyer brothers. He says;
About two years ago they whipped
Mr.. Owens, broke his jaw and knocked
out two teeth. In a week or two his
house was torn down, his clothes torn
to strings, everything broken up, and
the frame barn and COW shed set on fire.
The next day there was a day book and
cupOn book found by the house. On it
is Sawyer brothers account with E. NJ.
Collins. One day they were over TO
Jaqua and they wanted a COW to milk,
so they went over TO Mr.. Altman's and
put a rope on one and started of. Mrs.
Altman ran out and caught the rope
and they knocked her down. When
Charley Burnham came out to arrest
them they turned the COW loose. They
swOre to lot Of lies In a contest, so
Uncle Sam is after them now. They
took notion to build a rock barn and a
man out on the divide had pile of rock
for a house so they stole them and built
their barn. Along in May the pasture
got short and they took down $50 rods
of wire from the Swedes' fence and let
their cattle out into z. Chaffee's, Mr..
Sparks and Mr.. Klingsell's crops. The
cattle did well until Chaffee sent them
word that they must keep up their
stock. Riley Sawyer sent him word
they would whip him for that on Satur-
day, but they failed in that. They said
they could rape half OF the women
around Jaqua, so Dock Sawyer started
out. The first offense he put every
thing out Of his name and has not set
tied yet. Riley started out and went
to one Of the neighbors and left some of
his hair and shirt and ran to GOOdland
without feed or water. Riley and Doc
say the neighbOrs around Jaqua can't do
anything with them for they have tried
it lots of times. So the neighbOrs turned
out and raised s122, in about SIX hours,
to shove Riley. The MasOns and Odd
Fellows were going to make him leave
GoOdland, but when they looked for
him he was gone.

THE REPUBLICANS NOMINATE
County Ticket Nominated-Chaw OEBrien
Rules With Iron Hand and
Names Representative


The republican party held love
feast Saturday and said in their resO-
buttons that the elephant was all good,
from one end of his alimentary canal
to the Other-aDd nominated set OF
candidates. They are:
Representative, DR.. II. P. Candy;
treasurer, I. Warner; register of deeds,
Albert Lister; clerk of court, H. N.
Heston; sheriff. George Bradley; county
attorney, E. F. Murphy; probate judge,
Thomas Butt; county clerk, Alfred Prev
lit; county superintendent, Mamie
Limbaugh; coroner, DR.. A. G. Gulick,
surveyor, D. L. Dunn.
Unlike other years, when amend
ments had to be voted upon, and a GER
tain amount of parliamentary propTie-
ty and dignity was discernible, this
convention illustrated this bit of his
tory, that there is a time when decorum
yields to a higher duty.
This was emphasized Saturday when
Chaw O'Brieu, an Jealous delegate
with four votes in his pocket, suddenly
jumped up before brains and proper
regard for mOdesty could do the feat,
and exclaim ed in his mother tongue:
"My Friend, I cOnsecrate P. Candy for
preventative" The deed was done;
and as the holy water trickeIed from
the temples Of his elect, ChaW had
clearly triumphed, for every other
tongue ceased its prattle, every head
save his bowed low. Chsw withdrew
his hypnotic power; the convention
aWoke; two other men were then NOM
mated, who, not yet thawed out, shiv-
srfng under the cold and naked words
Of Boss O'Brien, mumbled a retreat
and sank down from whence they
came.
Save remarks on points Of order
Chaw was twice heard from with tell
ing effect-once when he told E J.
Scott to sit down because he had talked
too long already, and again when he
instructed the chairman rs to his rul-
ing aud nulIif1ed the votes of two prOx-
les by his emperious command.
O'Brien has seized the reigns of
power. He declares he is the state,
and when time shall bring him to his
end, above his tomb it shall be written:
aRepubIicanism and he fill up one
monument"
The convention became somewhat
blustery when Donly, Lister and Docs
enbery cOntended for the nomination
of register of deeds. nOosenbery vas
behind from the start, and seeing no
way toward nomination, thanked his
supporters and said he would wait for
the office until DonIy was dead. Donly
died in the convention, but his tOga fell
upon the shoulders of Albert Lister.

Several of the Steel Gang Get Mad Drunk
at Cullins' saloon and Young HOr-
ribIy Cuts Mullen.

The new steel rails have been distri-
buted as far as GoOdland for about a
month. The steel gang" as it is call
ed, employed in placing the rails, have
got to about Edison. Some Of the men
after pay day came to Goodland and got
on big drunk
A number Of them were at Cullins'
saloon Monday evening between nine and
ten o'clock when an alteration took
place and Charles V. Young, Of Ottum-
va, Iowa, stabbed Neil Mullen, of Wa
bash, Ind, in the neck. affecting, posi-
bly,, fatal injuries. Young was lodged
il jail and Mullen is in the care Of DR..
z. h. Smith.
Mullin was cut on the head and from
the left shoulder to near the elbow. But
the worst wound was in the neck, on
the left side, back Of the ear, the knife
sinking into the flesh about one and
one half inches. The cut is in a V
shape the last limb cutting across the
spine about the second vertebrae down
TO the hgaments of the spine. The
mans left side is Paralyzed and the
physicians prOgnOsis Is uEfavOrable to
his recovery. The injured man is being
cared for at John Cullins' place. Every
attention possible is given him, but the
physician considers his condition pre-
cariOus. As near as can be learned the
injured man was acting as a pescemaker
and in trying to suppress the turbulence
incurred the enmity of his assailant.

From current report it is learned that
many new machinists are being employ
ed here. It is also rumored that new
machinery will be put in here to enlarge
the capacity Of the shops. 1t viii be re-
membered that when the machine shops
were first started up here very extensive
machinery was installed which IL dull
time was removed elsewhere. The pow
er here is amply sufficient to run more
machinery and, If reports are true, the
machine shop force may be doubled. and
this NAV be at least an important point
of repair of machinery and rolling stock
OF the Rock Island road. Recently ten
men were advertised for to work IN the
round house. The plain facts are the
shops and round house are short of men
and the report Of new machinery being
installed here Is not at all improbable.
