Dan Mahoney, until recently em- ployed in the lumber camps south of town, died in shack on East Railroad avenue last Saturday evening.

No Drouth Here.

The past week has been one of con-
tinual rain. We had big rain every
night since last Wednesday and pros
poets are good for more. The fellows
who were bowling dry moon might as
we'll get up and go.
The result of these big rains is that
we are going to have fair wheat crop
after all, though it must be admitted
that much of it is greatly damaged.
Corn is on the boom and we can bank
on about so to 20 bushels per acre. Feed
crops will be heavy and range is out of
sight.
The only damage done by the water
fall was washing out the approaches
to most of the county bridges, bat we
can stand that. Barber county feels
alright if anybody should ask you.

Republican Convention, June I4th.

The republican county central COM
mlttee met at the CreSset Office Satur-
day and decided TO hold their county
convention June 14,h. The reason as
signed for the early convention is ia
give plenty of time to patch up with
the diSaffected ones and to head off
those who are not satisfied with the
slate. Another reason we have heard
advanced is that it will be at time
when the country republicans will l..
busy and the Medicine Lodge and Ii.
wa fellows,a ,as usual will have no tro0s,.-
lie In controlling the convention.
While on the surface, the meetirs
appeared to be committee meeting u

the usual town manIpulators predOmf-
mated. The most active candidates at
this meeting were E. Ii. Nixon and

is conceded that j. n. Tincher and G.

the convention for the nomination OF
county attorney and county clerk re-

meeting practically eliminated jim
Springer from the sheriff's race and
that the situation is the field against
Frank Lane. Since Mr. Lane is the
only candidate Kiowa has. it looks like
he has cinch. We conld tell more
about it if we were in the confidence
