The Father is not Responsible.

The Index is in receipt of commun

father of Dawson Brown. relative to
the confidence game In which his son
was defrauded out of his money on the
race mare deal. Mr. Brown SAYS some
of his peighbors are inclined to criti-
else him for not warning the young
man. He, however, knew nothing of
the deal until after it was scousummated
and is entirely bIameless. He would
have used his influence to prevent it if
he had heard about it before the tran
saction. Mr.. Brown holds Messrs. Ven
mum and Lumpkin re.pouslble for in.
ducing Dawson to become ensnared.
Any man who is acquainted with Un-
Gle Billie Brown will not attach the
least responsibility to him for this IN
fortunate transaction. Its hoped that
Dawson will recover his money. If he
does, or does not. is safe To say he will
not be caught iu such trap again.

Lizzie McCleary Dead.

The sad news of the death Of Miss
Lizzie McCleary reached her Medicine
Lodge friends Monday, through letters
from L. A. McCleary, of Des Moines,
Iowa, to Mr.. and Mrs E. Youmans
and Mrs. Emmett McCleary
She died at Kelia, near Honolulu,
while visiting with her sister, Mrs. T..
F. Sanborn. She died February 6, and
was sick just one week. The cause of
death was grip complicated with ner-
vous trouble.
The remains were cremated at Homo
lulu and the ashes will be sent back to
Des MOines for interment. There
were no embalmine facilities on the is
lands.
Miss Lizzie grew from childhood to
womanhood in this city and was one of
society's sweetest gems IN our social
circles. Her death IN the distant is
lands is very sad. The news of her
death In the dawn of Il noble, promls
Ing life brings hush to the lips of all
who knew her. The grief Of the par
eDts whom fate has denied the last
farewell caresses and embraces is a
trial which seems cruel and unendur
able. yet when we contemplate that the
fair daughter has been only transform
ed and has taken refuge in Eternal
Glory there is sublime consolation.
In extending sympathy to those in
bereavement, the Index assures them
that the people Of Medicine Lodge
mourn with them.

Going to the Bad.

Frank Simpson, Jr., son of our ex-
townsman. j. F. Simpson. was arrested
in Wichita Friday for stealing some
harness and an ak, all valued at 81.
His cousin, Lester Simpson, caused the
warrant to be issued and the boy will
land in the reform school.
For a long time Frank has been a
miscreant, and his relatives have been
trying to straighten him up and make
a man of him but without good results.
He seems to be worse than he was when
he left here. The reform school is the
proper place for the lad.
