The Lie, in Court.

In the district court last week,
while Judge E. G. Cole of this
city was making an argumentoin
the case Of Koen VS. The Lake
Koen Irrigation Co., Judge Van
diveer a lawyer from HUTCHINSON,
who is old enough to know bet
ter, interrupted by calling Mr..
Cole a cd liar," and he did
it a couple of times, and was
told to sit down and be quiet, by
the Sheriff. At the evening ses-
sion Vandiveer was called upon
TO make an open apology in
open court for his obstreperous-
ness. He is a cripple, and that
fact probably saved him from a
deserved humping at the hands
of Judge Cole. Possibly he
thought he could come up here
from Hutchinson and follow
pettifogging methods before the
new and inexperienced Judge.
He ought to have been fined on
the spot, for contempt. and
slugged on the other spot for
his boorishness,

Was Montgomery Murdered?

Last week the Clafin Clarion
gives the following additional
particulars of the tragic death
Of G. d. Montgomery. B. F..
Stout, OF Claflin, a nephew OF Mr..
Montgomery, was telegraphed
to go to Van Buren,, where the
injured man was discovered. The
account in the Clarion is as fol-
lows:
".Mr. Montgomery and Mr..
Young had to change cars at
Van Buren, and having to lay
over a short time between trains,
separated a few moments and a
man who claimed to have lived
in Hoisington at one time,a and
Charlie walked away in one di-
rection and Mr.. Young in an
other, and in a short time after,
probably half-hour, Mr.. Mont
gomery was discovered by a
negro cook, lying in a ditch only
a short distane from the depot
with his skull mashed, and in an
unconscious condition. He never
regained his consciousness, but
there is no doubt that he was
knocked down and robbed. Be-
tween forty and fifty dollars
which he had on his person can
not be found.

Another old Settler Gone.

Aug. Thanscheidt, one of the
pioneer settlers of this county,
died at his home in Ellinwood,
January 29th., 1902, of heart
disease, aged 73years, 5 months,
and 20 days.
Deceased was one of those
sturdy pioneers, who had gone
through about every phase OF
frontier life. Born in Prussia
but settling in this country at
Leavenworth, before the war, he
was a witness and a participant
in the stirring period of Kansas
history, of that time. At the
beginning of hostilities, he enlisted
in the 2nd. Kan. Vol. Inf, and
served with distinction. until
his discharge, after the battle of
Wilson's Greek, in which engage
ment he was badly wounded.
He locatedin the east end OF
this county in 1874, and has ever
since resided there, being a sue
cessful farmer. He was a member
of the Knights of Pythias, and
G. A. r., the former conducting
the funeral services, assisted by
the G.. A r. who furnished the pail
bearers. The survivors are his
widow, one son, Aug. Jr., OF
Woodward Ok, and Mrs. Chas.
Wolf, of Commanche Twp. Funer-
al services were held from his late
residence, Sunday.
In the passing of Mr.. Than
scheidt, Barton county looses a
valuable and deserving citizen,
and the state one ofits early de
tenders. The sympathy Of all is
rendered to the beraved relatives,
in which the DEMOCRAT joins.

The Hon Chalk Beeson, of Ford
county, has introduced a bill,
which, with a little addition,
should certainly be passed. His
bill provides for the bonding of
certain county officers in surety
companies the county to pay the
, premium. The bill should be
amended providingfor all county
officers to be bonded that way.
Personal bonds are too apt to
be N. G. when called upon. Then
again it would shift the RESPONSE

county to the surety company.
