THE BEAN MURDER CASE.

Seward |. Field of this cityS has
been employed to assist the county
attorney of Pratt county in prose-
cutting the deputy marshals, Geo.
S. Scantlin and S. E. Watson, who
are charged with shooting Bert
Bean, (colofed), formerly of this
place. Mr.. Field went to Pratt on
Monday to assist in conducting the
preliminary trial which was held
yesterday.
The Pratt papers are inclined to
exonerate the marshals. They say
that Bean and others, both white
and black, were engaged in a
drunken row, that the marshals ar
rested Bean and he broke and ran
They ran after him and warned
him to halt but he did not obey
They fired into the air with the in
tention of soaring Bean but one oi
the bullets accidentally took effect
This story differs materially from
the story related by Beans colored
friends as related in the Index last
week, and, as usual, the jury will
have to decide.

lhe Democratic central commit

the candidates were present and
good reports were received. The
democrats are little behind in
the matter of votes in Barber coun-

tor whom everybody can vote with
out aPologizing for it. If the Dem

Capt. ]. n. Titus returned home
from ST. Louis Monday night. His
appearance does not indicate that
he got mixed up with a mule, tut
it is a fact nevertheless that he
was attacked by one on the Pike
and pretty badly used up. The
captain did not want the news to
come home but some Medicine
Lodge people happened to be at
the fair at the time and it was too
good a joke for them to keep, al
though at the time of the accident
it looked too serious to be called a
joke, as Capt. Titus was uucon-
scious fer several minutes. But "all's
well that ends well'' and our post
master will always remember the
st. Louis exposition.

Roscoe Robinson, of Sharon,
Democratic candidate for county
superintendent, was in the city on
Saturday. Mr.. Robinson is making
a dignifed, clean campaign and
our judgment is that if Mr.. Lake
succeeds in getting a fourth term
he will at least be made to realize
that he had a race on his hands.
1t might be said, without doing
Mr.. Lake the least injustice, that
MIR. Robinson's qualifications are
better than Mr.. Lakes were when
he was first elected.

POLICE COURT NOTES.

Pearl Hayner who resides a few
miles south Of town was waited
upon by Marshal Gordon on Mon
day and was introduced to Judge
Collins who invited him to pay in
SIS and costs, amounting in all to
$3.50. On Saturday night Pearl
got little too much enthusiasm
and drove through the streets with
his team on a swift run. In the
south end the buggy tongue hit the
ground and broke but he got away
before the marshal appeared
When he came back on Monday he
paid for his fun under protest.

MATRIMONIAL.

Lester White of Isabel was mar
ried a few weeks ago to Wichita
lady. The Index is going to en-
panel a jury one of these days to
try Lester for some offense. The
fact thata man will slip away and
get married without putting his
county papers next isn't to our
liking and can't go unpunished.
However, if Lester will do the
right thing the next time he comes
to town we'll leave him off with a
moderate sentence.

they came home wearing new
clothes, won't have another fit be-
cause we mention their going to
Lake City, this week. We are
actually going to take the risk of
saying they wore clothes on this
occasion also.

Consumption is a human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes i'm
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be d;
cured at once, but II you will
begin in time and will be
ngidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.
