Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1903-12-18

Death, the relentless foe to ambi-
ton and all earthly striving, has at
last claimed another of our well
known aud respected citizens, ]. r.
Johnson, sheriff.
Mr.. Johnson came to Barton coun
ty from Ohio in the early sos with
his wife and small children, and has
resided here ever since, building for
himself, by industry and integrity, a |
pleasant and profitable competency, |
and reputation for friendship and |
fair dealing seldom enjoyed by thei
average citizen.
He had held the position of trustee
of his home township-Homestead-l
for some years, and in 1899 was elect
ed sheriff of Barton county, being re-
elected in 1902, and having a little
over year yet to serve of his second
term. He owned large stock ranch
in Cheyenne township, and was count
ed one of the most successful farmers
of our county.
During the winter of 1901 he
contracted heavy cold through ex-
posure in the line of his duty, and
this eventually settled on his lungs
and in his throat. For the past year
he has suffered great deal, and all
medical skill and change of climate
seemed unequal to the overcoming
of the disease.
On the 10th inst. he, in company
with his mother and brother, John,
went to Arizona in the hope of better
ing his trouble, but died there soon
after his arrival. He leaves a wife
and large family of young children.
The funeral will be held at Great
Bend, but at the time we go to press
the date has not been fixed.
The whole county will mourn the
death of one whom everybody liked.
That kid needs a better example
and less criticism.
Wallace will make you the best
photos you have ever had.
An act of heroism is but temporary.
An act of charity is everlasting.
Pay your taxes before Saturday of
this week-the 20th-and save a pen
atty.

A young man in a cricket shirt and straw hat was wheeling baby carriage backward and forward along the pavement in front of a small house in tgate-on-Sea.
 The hot atternoA sun poured pitilessly down upon him, and hc was angry as any man in the neignborhood, relates the Manchester Guardian.

 Let me alone, cant you?" he shrieked os~t, and went on wheeling and mopping his face.
 An hour later the same voice came from the window in earnest, pleading tones:

 Well, what on earth do you want?" he shouted. 'Have the water pipes burst"
 No, George, dear" walled the voice, "'the water pipes are all right, but you've been wheeling Amy's doll all the afternoon, Hadn't you better let baby have turn nowV'

New County Again.

On Monday shortly after the
session convened Greer, of Sho-
shone, asked unanimous consent
to withdrawn the bill for the
creation OF Clearwater county,
stating that he desired to press the
measure no further. On the
strength of this representation the
Nez Perez members presented no
objection to the withdraw. With
in an hour, however, Greer in
troduced anothed bill creating the
county of Clearwater from south
ern Sboshone, and portions of
Idaho and Nez Perez counties.
The bill is similar to the other
excepting that it provides that the
county shall be created if mai
GRITTY of the people living in the
Territory embraced should vote for
it at the next general elction. The
same territory in Nez Perez is
embraced and two whole and two
partial townships in Idaho that iut
up between Nez Perez and Shos-
hone.

WHOLESALE STEALING.
200 Horses Reported in the
Hands Of "RuStierS."

The report reached town yester-
day evening that 200 head of
horses Were being driven out of the
county, over half of which had
been identified as being the prop
erty of settlers living on Salmon
river and vicinity. A warrant
was sworn out late last evening
and Sheriff Seay left Immediately
in search of the parties who were
reported to have had the horses
in charge.
The complaining witness claimed
that he had recovered several
horses belonging to him as they
were being driven on to the Prairie.
1t is reported that the horses left
Cottonwood yesterday after noon
and was presumably going to the
railroad. The truthfulness of
these reports cannot be verified up
to the time of going to press and
all that is really known here is that
the warrants have been issued and
the sheriff is now after the ae-
cused parties.
Reports of wholesale horse steal
ing in the Salmon river country
have been common occurrences for
years past and the work has been
supposed to have been carried on
by a thoroughly organized gang.
In this case, if reports are true, it
seems impossible for the guilty
parties to escape and if a general
''ronnd up" of stock "rustlers"
could be made it will have whole
some effect on the stock business
of this section.
