EDITOR GRAPHIC:
DEAR SIR:-My wife was shot on
travelling road about opposite AN
drews' windmill, while coming, home
with a basket of cabbage plants. in
stead of looming over the hill back
of the house." In spite of her mo-
tioning and screaming, ':For God IS
sake, don't shoot" Reemer carelessly
fired the shot. Moreso, my wife de-
clares that she had seen the sheriff in
a buggy looking toward her to view
Andrews cattle lying down by the
windmill near the road, where my
wife walked along before the shot
was fired, which partly struck her.
The only object that hid her view for
a moment or two was fat knoll OF
slight rising of prairie between men
TONED road and Boettcher's gate.
from which outlet the sheriff and
Reemer both drove.
Nov the important question is. to be
solved: Who is not at all to be
blamed for this reckless deed? Reem-
er or who? Our utmost desire is to
have the publication of this deed
changed to correspond more truly to
this report, otherwise a final lawsuit
of this case may be depended upon.
From your true friends.
EDWARD AND MARY THORWIRTH.

A NEW RAILROAD.

W. F. Brown of Pratt county and
rived last evening to talk a railroad
proposition to our people. Mr..
Brown lives at Naron and is the man
more than any other one who has
been urging the building of the Mis-
souri, Pacific extension from Iuka this
way. MIR. eyes is railroad promoter
and builder representing eastern
capital. The suggestion made by
these gentlemen is to build line of
road across this county from this
city southeast and have it in opera
tion by the first of January, provided
the townships will donate the right Of
way and give them two thousand
dollars per. mile. The right of way
is not to be decided nor the bonds
issued until the road is built and in
operation. The line would enter this
county about one mile south of the
parallel and run west near to the
center of Brown township, then to this
city. The general scheme of the road
is to run from Wichita to Denver.
If the proposition made by these
gentlemen is accepted and the road
built, Kinsley will be a division point
and the shops and officers will be
located here.
1t is proposed to build the line from
Preston to this city this fall as each
point being on the railroads it would
be easy to ship in material and work
from both ends. Lack of time pre-
vents our discussing the advantages
of this line, but they are many. and
we hope our people will take hold OF
the proposition with broad minds and
open hands or we may find our beau
tiful city out on the end of a limb and
some neighboring town using the saw.

Divided the Costs.

Perry Kephart, of Dodge City. got
gay in this city Wednesday afternoon
and smashed IA pane of glass in the
front of Carlson's place of business.
The marshal escorted. the offender to

hart evidently thought he had struck
a g ood lead: for he then went back to
Carlson 5 and kicked in door. This
cost him 81 80. One of his friends.
who seemed to think this one-sided
game, went to the police court and
swore out warrant for Carlson.
charging that he mad threatened him
with a gun. Carlson went over and
the matter was discussed at length.
The case was finally dropped, each
paying half of the expenses.

Slugged and Robbed.

A harvest worker was slugged and
robbed in the railroad yards at this
place last Thursday night. He was
persuaded by n couple of men to ac
company them down the. track by a
story of work. After walking short
distance the two men attacked him.
After beating him pretty badly they
dragged his body onto the track and
left him for an incoming train to run
over. He recovered his senses in
time to get off the track and come to
town and report to the marshal He
said that when he was attacked he
stabbed one Of the men three times in
the leg. All efforts to find the -assail-
ants were fruitless

WILL NOT SETTLE
Hitchcock Again Refuses Offer to
Compromise in Lumber
Case.

Secretary Hitchcock has re
fused a second offer to com
promise the. government suit

recover about 100000 for green
tim Der alleged to have been cut
on the Leech Lake reservation
under dead and down contracts
several years ago.
Tt will be recalled that when
logs had been cut under these
contracts special inspection
was made by William O'Neil],
who was recently appointed sup
eTintendent of logging under the
Morris law, and he found that
the Commonwealth Lumber COM
pany had cut many thousands
of feet of green timber. In ac-
cordance with his recommends
tion suits were brought to re
cover the difference in price Of
the green and dead timber. Be
fore the suits were brought, Ray
w. Jones, president Of the COM
.pany, went to Washington and
offered to settle for $4,000. The
offer was turned down and suit
was entered.

The track is in fair condition and

that expenses might easily be

held at the park at the same
time, If thought necessary.
