Talk About Liquor Troubles.

During the past two weeks there has
been an under-current and a great
many conflicting rumors concerning q
renewal Of hostilities on the part OF
temperance people against the Kiowa
saloon men. 1t was reported that
demand was made upon County At.
torney Tlncher to prosecute but that
he refused and that on account of his
refusal an appeal was made to the
attorney general. It was also reported
that Mr.. Tincher found it necessary to
arrange an interview with Attorney
General Coleman in order to keep
things harmonious between the greater
and the lesser official.
In order to get the county attorney 8
side Of the case. we asked Mr.. Tincher
on Saturday for a statement of the
facts, which he gave substantially as
follows:
On June Goth q committee of temper.
perance people consisting of Peter
Hearn and Geo. l.. Graves of ElwoOd
township, Chas. Barkley of Klowa, a
Mr.. Kimball of Woods county, Ok.
and one or two gentlemen from Moore
township, asked him to prosecute a
man at KiOwa for violating the pro-
hibitOry law. Mr.. Kimball offered to
testify, but the county attorney, after
giving them a hearing. decided that his
evidence was insufficient to warrant a
prosecution. He also thought that
his residing in Oklahoma did not make
b i'm a desirable witness with which to
60 before a jury. Mr.. Tincher also
thought his reputation was not the
best.
In discussing the report that he had
gone to Topeka to talk this matter over
with the attorney general, Mr.. Tincher
denied the report in toto. He said he
did 60 to Topeka but that his business
was OF an entirely different nature.
He was in the attorney generals Office
and the subject Of the Kiowa liquor
matter was only mentioned once, and
that only in casual way.
This, In substance, is all the county
attorney will say for publication. He
has some private views but they would
not look we'll in print and We haven't
his permission to publish them any.

retained as their adviser but even this

Mary S. Woodward Dead.

Mary S. Woodward, wife OF 81. T..
Woodward, died at her home in this
city on Monday, June %, 1903, at 1870
a. m. Her ailment was internal cancer
affection. She was sick many months
and has undergone several operations
and treatments IN different hospitals,
all OF which temporarily relieved and
prolonged life but hope for permanent
cure was abandoned some months ago.
Funeral services were held at the M =.
+. church yesterday at 10 O'Clock under
the auspices of the l. o. 0. F. The
sermon was preached by Rev. J. L..
Patterson.
Mrs. WoOdward'S death removes one
OF the noblesr and kindest women from
among the people Of Medicine Lodge.
Whenever sorrow and trouble came to
home she was always one Of the first
to assist, to SOoth and to comfort, and
1t was always her especial delight to be
friendly and to speak kindly to all.
The esteem and love in which she was
held by those who knew her best was
demonstrated by the large congregation
or sorrowlng friends who gathered at
the church to pay last tribute.
She is survived by husband and five
grown children-Miss Bernlce, Mrs. C.
W. Kidd, Mrs. Clifton Murphy. George
and James Woodward. She was As
years of age.
The people of Medicine Lodge and vie
cinity extend sympathy to the family
in their sad hour.

Tempest in a Teapot.

The Medicine Lodge Cresset and the
Attica Independent are going out of
their way in their mud Singing cam
paign against Sheriff Haun The latest
spasm is on account Of an alleged abuse
OF Will Twombley received at the Sher.
IFS hands when he got him at Attica.
The principal source of grievance is the
fact that the sheriff put hand cuffs on
the prisoner. There is no reason why
any sensible man should criticise the
sheriff for this. He had been warned
by the prisoners relatives to
be careful or he would get away,
that he was an ex-cOnvIct, having
served term in the Iowa peni.
tentiary, and would take chances to
get away. Sheriff Haun thought that
this was sufficient to warrant handcut.
fing. He brought him at night, aud
one leap into darkness would have
meant his escape in all probability.
Suppose that ne had not used the cuffs
and Twombley had gotten away or the
sheriff would have had to shoot him in
preventing his escape. what a howl
would have gone up from these rarti-
sans in that event!
The statement was also made that
Twombley IS mere boy l6 years OF age.
This statement is absolutely false.
He is "a years Of age, active, shrewd
and cunning. 1t was also stated that
the sheriff abused him. The Sheriff say 8
it was just the opposite. He says Twom.
bley was impudent, cursed him and re-
fused to obey him, and it was necessa.
ry at one time for Mr.. Haun to take
hold of him and compel him to 60 with
him. That was the only instance in
which he used force.
Whatever censure there has been is
for political effect. When a sheriff has
a warrant for a man, it is his duty to
get him if he can. II he thinks his man
is of such character that he may at.
tempt to escape, he has perfect right
to use the handcuffs. That IS what
they are made for. If the charge was
too severe. it is not the sheriff's fault.
We do not see wherein anybody has .
good cause to critlcise Sheriff Haun, in
the light OF the facts IN the case.

The Sharon Valley Land Company.

The Sharon Valley Land Company
is the name Of q new real estate firm
that has recently sprung into promi-
nence in southern Kansas. 1t was
organized only this spring but on ac-
count OF its large volume OF business
its fame has extended beyond the
boundary lines Of the entire west.
This company is composed of Capt. j.
D. Fair and Hon. Samuel Stewart, two
OF the best known business men in
southern Kansas. They have 76,S1O
acres of farm and ranch lands for sale,
with a cash value Of $6O9, ,9S5 90. The
firm Is solid and substantial in every
way and are responsible for all they
promise or guarantee. Their combined
wealth, conserYatiyeiy estimated, Is
$50, 600.
Aside from their wide awake hustling
qualities and genial natures, they are
very fortunately situated. They en-
brace in their list some Of the choicest
lands in Kansas. They are pioneer
Kansans and they know good laud
when they see it and in this way they
are qualified to do exceptionally we'll in
their business.
The Sharon Valley in which much OF
their land lies, Is one Of the most fertile
and productive valleys In tho West and
it has never yet experienced q total
failure of crops.

TwOmbley Pleads Guilty.

VIM. Twombley was fined $5 and
costs last Friday evening by Justice
Collins after pleading guilty to a
charge of obtaining money under false
preteDse preferred against him by
County Attorney Tincher on complaint
OF Waldron Chase. AS stated in the
Index last week, the act for which
Twombley was arrested was the giving
OF an order for SIS on Watkins &
Chenoweth which the latter firm refus-
ed to honor, claiming that they did not
owe it.
The trial was set for the 18th, but by
mutual consent motion to Quash the
complaint was taken up on Friday
afternoon on the ground that it did
not state cause OF action. Samnel
Griffin, Mr.. Twombley's attorney, con.
tended that the credit obtained on Mr..
Chase's books by virtue OF the order
did not amount to a crime under the
statute and therefore Twombley should
be released-in other words the credit
was nothing carrying value with it.
When both sides were argued Judge
COLLINS announced that We would take
the matter under 3dviSement until
Saturday at O'Clock.
But later in the evening there was
something doing and It was not long
until MIR. Twombley was out of jail
and he had relieved himself of three VS..
And all this transpired without the
knowledge of Twombley's attorney,
Samuel Griffin. While Sam was en-.
1oying good supper and in fact had a
right to believe that the case was going
his way, the county attorney was
doing trick or two on the guy ropes.
Just how 1t was done is q thing known
to few but anyhow somebody got
"next"tO TwOmbley and convinced him
that the time was ripe to plead guilty.
When Mr.. Griffin heard of it, there
: were several emphatic expressions. he
said his client had all along professed
to be game" and he did not even sus.
pect that he could be induced TO plead
guilty.
To say the least, Mr.. Griffin is very
much vexed at the treatment he re-
'Ceived, especially the manner In which
the county attorney acted. He said he
never before was treated 50 shabbily
and never in his experience has any
lawyer been guilty OF anything so unpro-
fessiGnal. He saysOut of common cour.
tesy clients lawyer should be consult
ed when a case is settled and Mr.. Tinch.
er's failure &nd refusal to observe the
rule oa this occasion can not be ex-
planned 0r justified.
