MAYFIELD WON 1T.

The Medicine Lodge High School
foot ball team concluded last week
that they would like to go up
against team from some other
town and accordingly matched a
gauue with ing Mayflezd 4Iigh
School team for Saturday, the
o2nd. The Mayheld boys got in
on the afternoon train chaperoned
by their Professor, and action on the
gridiron began at about 4 P. m.
1t was a very interesting game and
resul red in victory for the visitors
in a 5 core of IS to 5. Mayfield
made t. 1ree touch downs and three
goals. Medicine Lodge made one
touch-do\ vn but missed their goal.

STATEMENT BY DR.. STOUT.

Referring to a statement in the
CresSet concerning my attitude during
the sQuabble in 1902 over the unholy
and corrupt method prac ticed by the
republicans to obtain seat for Mr..
Nixon, l will say that l never had
any conversation with Tom NoftZger
or any other man, ''as representative
of the democratic party" concerning
a recount Of the ballots, as l was not
employed to represent any candidate
nor the party and all conversations l
held with anyone was simply as a pri-
vate citizen. SO the Cresset must guess
again. l. w. STOUT.
Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1904-10-26

Two weeks ago the "organ' al
legged that proposition to recount
the ballots was made to Seward |.
Field, ]. M. Grouse and RileyLake.
Last week they switched to Allen
Smith who had certificate of cleo
ton and therefore was not an in
terested party. All of the claims
have been proven to be merely nom
sense and hot air. Their efforts to
draw attention away from the dis
graceful action in counting eight
votes that never were cast to get
their boss into the Legislature, have
fallen fiat. The machine is up
against it on this proposition and
the only practical thing for them
to do is to stick to their first declar-
alton, that anything is fair in poll
tics and that honesty or decency is
not expected in a public officer. If
they win out on that proposition
the public funds are theirs and the
people will have to pay the taxes
and take their medicine.

The incompetent cry has been
raised against Aubery Newkirk be-
cause he did not remain with I. S.
Jones as deputy during the entire
term. That is a mighty poor clue
to work on. The fact is Mr.. New
kirk didn't take the job in the first
place because he wanted it but be-
cause Mr.. Jones could not get. an
other suitable man. Mr.. Newkirk's s
private business was worth more
to him than a deputyship. To
those who know something of the
inside work of the present deputy
treasurer, who IS the republican
candidate for that office, the cry
against Newkirk of incompetent
cy" sounds funny. We would ad-
wise Frank to hold the "organ
down. That would be bad thing
to stir up.

Remember Us for your Gro
CerieS.
JONES MER. co.

Fred F. Perry who is travelling
for The Deering Company, returned
to his home near Kiowa on Satur-
day. He has been in North Dakota
all summer and the company want
him to return there again in a few
weeks to take up their collection
business. He sold a great deal OF
machinery there and the wheat
crop was very ordinary too. His
territory was on the Canadian line
where the weather is decidedly
frigid. Fred says it is no un-
common thing to have frosts there
in July and in the winter months
mercury usually plays around the
4o-below zero mark, and roads are
often impossible for months on &C.
count of giant snow-drifts. He
says he would decline to make hi:
home there if he could get the best
farm in the state by so doing.

The Prohibition party is in the
same shape on the county superin-
tendent proposition this fall as if
was in the fall of Ioo2-two years
ago. Lloyd Davis was the can
didate then but after some caucus
sing he declined, announcing that
he would support P. L. Lake and
using his influence to induce other
prohibitionists to do likewise.
The result was that Mr.. Lake got
the support of the party and got
the certificate of election. This
fall Miss Bernice Woodward was
nominated and also declined in
the eleventh hour, but explaining
that Mr.. Lake had nothing to do
with her action, before he was ac-
cused- What action the party
will take is problematical, but to
us it looks like a republican job.
The republican leaders have done
considerable boasting about their
fine work in manipulating the pro-
hibition and socialist movements,
! ..ss.z-Issy, and it seems that they are
doing the hood winking act SO far
- snme of them are concerned.

integrity

If there is single reason why
Walter S. Cant is not a good man
for the Office of county clerk we
wish his political enemies would
name it. Walter has a thorough
business education and is a man
whose personal reputation is with
out a stain. He always finds plen-
ty to do to attend to his own af-
fairs and is no meddler, a qualifl-
cation very much needed in a pub
lie official.

There is an unconfrmed rumor
that the NJ. K. & T. railroad has
purchased the D. K. & E. line
which is being extended from Enid
northwest to connect with a short
route to Denver, and that the work
will now be pushed with more
vigor than ever in completing the
cut from Enid to Hays City.
Medicine Lodge and Barber county
ought to have this road and we
believe they can get it if they will
lmake the proper effort.

DISTRICT COURT.
Jury Again Fails to Agree in the Ru-
dOlph Damage Case. Other
Business.

The case of Elizabeth Rudolph
VS.. the Santa Fe Railroad Company
went to trial last Wednesday
morning with the following jury:
A. E. EMS, Sharon township.
w. Fl. Mcclure, Valley township
Emmet Naughton. Sharon township.
IL. s. Sterling, Elwood township
j Chadwick, Medicine Lodge township
Green Adams, Sun City township
w H Curtis, Medicine Lodge township
c. w. Smith, Lake City township
G w Thurman, Elwood township
T NJ Parr. Mingona township
J. H Knight, Medicine Lodge township
WI Daniels, Medicine Lodge township.
This was the most important
civil case tried, it being a damage
suit for $4,000 on account OF
Chas. Rudolph who was brake
man on the branch between here
and Attica losing his life about
three years ago by reason of a de-
fective slat on a freight car giving
way while making flying switch
at Sharon. The jury considered
the case from 5 o'clock Thursday
evening until 10 o'clock Friday
morning when they were discharg-
ed and the case continued. The
jury stood 9 for the plaintiff and 3
for the defendant. This is the
third time that a jury has consider
ed the case. The first time they
found for the plaintiff and assessed
her damages at $500 but the
jury failed to answer some of the
special questions properly and the
court set the verdict aside and
ordered a retrial of the case; the
second hearing resulted in a mis-
trial, the same as the the third.
The same attorneys appeared IN
the case as in the former trials. sA
Allison VS.. Baker jury found for
the defendant.
Bobbitt VS.. Brownback case
continued.
Watkins VS.. Santa Fe dismissed
without prejudice.
Bruce VS.. Larkins case continued
| State of Kansas VS.. /. H. Ray

torney.

Friday morning and adjourned
court until Monday afternoon.

the custom for sheriffs to have the
parties who performed these
services to file their bills with the
commissioners, but for convenience
and al the request of the commits
sioners, Sheriff Haun paid all this
money out of his own pocket and
waited for the commissioners to re-
imburse him. To illustrate, we
herewith submit, a statement of
moneys received by the sheriff dur
ing the past three months:
Total amount received. ed....................s5 $50 45
Boarding prisoners 800. $22 90

attending jail . % 90 90
stamps, etc. c-....-..-....-....... = 40
Total received during quarter. s542 IS
Out of the total amount received
during the quarter, $o3.8o was to
reimburse the sheriff for money ex-
pended by him, which other parties
received and earned; $I52 was
for boarding prisoners. The sher
iff receives 40 cents per day for
boarding prisoners. There were
as high as eighteen prisoners in
jail during the quarter. The mon
ey received for boarding prisoners
is only reimbursement and proba-
bly, loser for the sheriff, for every
body knows that a man who
boards prisoners like Sheriff Haun
does, certainly does not make any
money out of it at 40 cents a day.
So that out of the quarters receipts
of $342.65 only $e6.85 was money
actually received from the county
on his own account, and out of that
should be deducted the expense OF
a trip to Hutchinson, and deputy
hire for attending lail when the
sheriff was absent.
! We cite this quarter because it is
the last one. Others show about
the same state of affairs. In quar-
tiers where there were insane cases
the amounts expended were larger
but the sheriff's income are not ma
terially altered. The most expen-
sive case in Mr.. Haun's admins
tration was the insanity of Mr.. and
| Mrs. Hurd at Kiowa about a year
ago. That case cost the county
about 1888 and Mr.. Haun filed a
voucher for it, but he paid $228 o1
it to other parties in taking care
of the patients and assisting in
taking them to the asylum. Their
cases were very bad and they had
to be taken care of as though they
were infants. Out of the $288 ex-
pended Mr.. Haun received only
| $6o,for taking them to the asylum
and paid his own expenses out oi
that which were at least $50, sc
that out of the $288 he got only
| $50 as his own compensation. We
might cite case after case of like
nature, but we think this will prove
to any sane mind that Mr.. Haun':
compensation for the work per
formed is very reasonable.
!; It is useless for political enemie.
to question Mr.. Haun's honest,
! and integrity. He has lived il
western Kansas long time ant
neither his name nor any of hi
people have been associated wit
