found Electric Bitters excellent for
acute stomach and liver troubles so |
prescribed them. The patient gained

ATTEMPTED MURDER.
A Vicious Assault on one of Our Oldest
Citizens. Wife and Son-in-Iaw
Under Arrest.

Ok. of the most dastardly attempts
on the life Of peaceable. hardworking
man occurred in' Great Bend, Thurs
day evening last, the 18th. The cir
cumstances, sas near as we can learn
them are: 60 %

dent of Great Bend since the early
seventies, has, for number of years

asked him to accompanyh her to deliver
esome work atsMrs. G Franke's, which
is o9e block north and some west of
the Colt home. The two went tosthe
place, delivered the work, and started
home9going west along the street on
the north of the Diffenbacher place.
They oweee walking along near the
hedge, Mrs. eGoit y to Is feet ahead
of George, when man sprang out
andsstruck Colt terrific blow on the
head. Colt is crippled in the lower
limbs and walks with a cane. He
defended himself as best he could,
reeeiving several blows on the head
and one which broke the bones i'll

bors and sgave the alarm. After
George was down his assailant proba.
bly, thinking his work well done ran
away. He left the weapon, piece
! ofgas pipegand his hat on the scene.
Parties found these things and took
them to thesGoit home that night
Fortunately the assaulted mans skull
G was not fractured, and he is recover
ing from his injuries.
Officers being called an investiga-
. ton was made, and on the strength of
evidenee obtained Colts son-in-Taw,
named Fischer, was put under arrest
the next morning, and now lies in Jail
without bonds. On Tuesday of this
week Mrs. Colt waso arrested also as
ansaccomplice. She gave bonds in
the sum of $4,000 for her appearance.
The preliminary hearing before JUS
tice will be'held Monday, the 9th.
There are said to be many circum-
stances which point to the parties
arrested as the guilty ones. The hat
of the assailant disappeared after
being taken to the Colt home; the
intimacy Of Mrs. Colt and Fisher; the
account each gives. of their actions,
and many other circumstances make
tAook very ugly for them.

good one and nearly all who had

especial mention was the flag drill by

"A SMOOTH ARTICLE.
An Old Man Borrows Money on Land,
Showing Papers that Were, Evidently
Forgeries.

One of the smoethest confidence
games it has been our fortune to ever
come across, waSpracticed on some
eef our best business men recently, and
hasjust come to light. On or about
March 21st, an elderly man, probably
about fifty years of age, representing
himself to bean old soldier, having
on the usual blue suit of clothes
worn by thesold soldier, and having a
wooden. leg, presented himself at the
Office of certain business man in
aaise cits,s who occasionally loans
money, and asked for the loan of
sSe0 on the south west quarter of
section -four, eighteen, o thirteen,
which the records show to be owned
by one Chas.eK. Grimes. residing at
Sanger, California. The land has
been fafmed for some time past by
Henry HULL who, however, was ex-
recting to give it up, as son-in-law
of Mr.. Grines, residing, we are told,
in Ellsworth County, expected to
move on the farm. This gentleman
gave his name as John A: Corbin,
and said he had recently purchased
the land, that he had.paid $4,000 for
the same, and wanted this loan for
the purpose of making some improve
ments in thee dwelling and other
buildings. 0and that che expected to
soon move on the same. The man
from whom the loan had been ere-
quested, went to mutual friend in
this city, who has been making some
aoans for an eastern man, and asked
if the money could Sbe secured.
After some little correspondence, the
proper amount wasb received, and
Mr.. Corbin presented himself ready
to close up the deal. The records in
the Registers Office showed, that the
fand belonged to. Mr.. Chas. K.
Grimes, and that che helde final
receipt from the government for same.
Mr.. Corbiu, for the purpose Of COM
pleting the title, produced patent
issued by the government to Mr..
Grimes, apdoit is without doubt,
the original instrument, had the same
recorded, and also showed deed
from Chas. K. Crimes and Martha
Grimes, his wife, residents of Tulare
county, California, duly made and
executed before c. A. Barr, notary

Fair Warning.

Notice is hereby given that begin
ing with the first day of May, 1908,
every possible effort will be put forth
by the municipal authorities of Great
Bend for the rigid enforcement of the
prohibitory laws of the city and state.
Any and all persons found guilty of
violating any of the provisions of said
laws will be prosecuted to the limit.
Boot-leggers and jointists will find no
quarter and nothing will be left un-
done to stop the illicit traffic. Owners
of property used for this purpose will
take warning lest heavy fines and
large cost bills be assessed against
their premises. The law is strong
and far reaching and its fullest powers
will be invoked against all offenders
and against all property prostituted to
the unlawful business. Owing to the
policy heretofore recognized in the
city, those who may have been in the
business and now absolutely quit and
stay quit will not be molested, but if
any such persist in their efforts to
evade the law they will be prosecuted
for any and all offenses past and
present that may be proven against
them within the limit of the law. Any
person detected in swearing falsely
will be prosecuted for perjury.

Special Council Meeting.

Pursuant to the following call, a
special council meeting was held at
the council room at $50 a. M, April
%, 1903.
Great Bend, Kas., April %, 1908.
A special meeting of the city
council is hereby called to meet at
the council room at $50 a. m, April
%, 1908, for the purpose of consider
ing the question of an appropriation
for site for the county jail.
MARTIN WEIRAUCH, Mayor.
Council was called to order at the
appointed time and place by Mayor
Weirauch, witheth following council
men present, Kendall, Miller 1st
ward, Slentz, Rediger and Newcombe.
Absent, Smith, Dale, and Miller, 4th
ward. The object of the meeting
was, on request of the mayor, stated
by Mr.. Kendall, being the same as
set forth in the call. A number OF
citizens were present and with the
council discussed the question, but it
being the opinion of the city attorney,
that the city had no authority to
legally appropriate any money for
the'purpose stated, the council took
no action, and on motion the meeting
adjourned.
An informal meeting of the citizens
present was then held, and a com
mittee consisting of Mayor Weirauch,
city attorney Russell, w. T. Kendall,
E. r. Moses and VIM. Osmond, was
then selected to call on the com
missioners to see what arrangement
could be made with them towards
the purchase of site. After some
considerable discussion entered into
by the committee, commissioners and
other citizens present, it was finally
agreed to purchase the four lots on
the northwest corner of block 80,
the county to pay the sum of $3.50
towards the price, the city to pay the
remainder, and see that the county
secured a good and sufficient deed,
and that the title be absolutely clear.
This was agreed to, and the COM
mittee have since been working
industriously to complete their end
of the deal and to raise the amount
