Bucklin. Mr.. Fitzgerald stated to the

could be secured between Bucklln and

Home would contract for service; and
that probably another exchange would
be put In at Dodre City because ofrefusal
Of the present company to make eqhita-
bio switch rates to tile Independent
farmer lines. 1t is generally believed
that DR.. Sharp has abandoned the ex-
tension OF bis Soldiers Home line to
BucklIn, Notwithstanding the poles are
on the ground. A line to Dodge City
with an exchange here and other ln-
dependent lines reaching out to the main
settlements would be a great and much
needed convenience. The sending Of the

would be worth the price Of rental. We
hope the project will succeed. .-Bucklln

EDITOR GLOBE REPUBLICAN:
Dear Sir:-Will you kindly allow me a
small space in your culumns? In your Is.
sue Of March 3rd there was an article re-
gardlng the mail route from Dodge City,
Ensign, Hess, Montezuma and Carmen,
explaining aud commenting on the faCil-
tiles being directly opposed to the eitl-
zens Of southwest Ford and those of Gray
county. Now | beg leave to differ wi lil
the writer, | consider they are identl-
cally the same with few exceptions
which shall try to make plain. In the
first place nearly all If the rural box
patrons between Dodge 'ity and Ensign
are subscribers Of weekly aud semi
weekly papers with the exception Of
about three patrons and all Of the patrons
Of Ensign are subscribers to weekly and
semi.weekly papers except one patron.

Back In Seventy-Three.

In 1878 Dodge City wasa lively and 10.
teresting town, Mayor Kelley was the
proprietor of large saloon and gambling
house in the most fashionable part of the
town and music, the click Of ivory chips
and dice, and at times the musical bark
ef the 45 caliber six.shooter was heard,
though even that did not stop for mo-
ment, tile innocent games and diversions
of the busy little village.
The Mayor had a lame bear. One day
a street doctor dropped in with a grip
sack full Of pills, warranted to euro all
human ills except being broke or dead,
so be sad, The boys told him that they
would get box in the street, and that
he was to get on the box and sell pills
and they would help him. So they got a
big dry goods box and, put it in the
middle of The street. A small table was
placed on the box and after they had
showed 1t to the doctor they took him in.
to the saloon and made him set up the
drinks, to promote a friendly feeling. In
his absence, "Lousey Nike" led the big
black bear around aud put him in the
box. He curled up and went to sleep.
The doctor mounted his box and just as
be was going to sell bis first box Of pills
Mike poked the bear with a pole. The
bear stuck his head out over the edge of
the box and gave the doCtora rake over
the leg with bis paw, tearing off one leg
of bis pants. The doctor yelled like
Comanche Indian and lit about six feet
from the box. Sour Dough Pete grabbed
the doctor, Mike grabbed the bears
chain and the boys apologized. They
told the doctor lhot It was mistake and
that Lousy Mike should be punished.
They took the doctor In and gave him
two drinks and Chas, Basaett tied bis
handkerchief around the Leg ofhispants,
They told him 1t was alright now and
showed him that the bear was gone. He
mounted the box again and after be got
to talking Konk Jones put a half stick Of
giant powder under the box with fuse
and III the fuse. Just as the doctor was
10 the midst Of bis Grafton, bang! went
the powder and tho box went to pieces.
The doctor lit running east and we saw
him for half a mile down the track. Then
everyone went In and took a drink and
white winged peace cncs more brooded
over the happy COW town and the gam
blers resumed skinning The cowboy,

citation will hold Its annual reunion at
Dodge City the first week In August this
year.
President Sweeney has written J. A.
Arment to announce that date and the old
solders Of western Kansas will be notified
10 soon as possible so that they may set
apart that week for the big meeting at
Dodge City.
The reunion this year will be the great.
est meeting yet held here, The assocla-
tlon has been gathering strength and the
meeting has been Increasing in popularity
every year. This year being q presl-
dantisl campaign as well as state, there
pl be an unusual attendance at the Re'
onion from out the district. Last year
tle reunion drew an attendance OF vet
erans from as far east as Sedgwlck and
Harvey counties and this year there will

A general order for the dates OF the
reunion will be issued about the first OF
April and active preparation for the
meeting will then be started.

Now we will try to explain why some
of southwest Ford county patrons prefer
the mail days should be Monday, We'd
nesday and Friday, The majority of
them go to town on Saturday and get
their mail at the office and by so doing
they do not miss any of their mail. New
we will see the inconvenience and in
convenience and injustice to those who
live too far away from Dodge City and
who are not patrons of that office. Our
last mail day Is Friday and we do not
get the last issue Of any semi. weekly and
very ssldOm our own county paper until
Monday and when Our last mail came on
Saturday we never failed to get all Of
those papers so that we could read our
papersOn the Sabbath, those who wished
to. 1t Is plain case OF the tail wagging
the dog. The article also states that
there are only 5 miles Of the route in
Gray county. That is true in one sense
of the word. There are ID families north
west, west and southwest of Ensign
postohiCe who are patrons Of this office.
He says he has nothing to say in regard
to carrying out our agreement in regard
to the proposed route. | have this to
say, that carried my part to the letter.
The first that knew of the proposed
route was when received a circular of
inquiry from the Second Assistant Post
master General requesting me to report
on The proposed route and did so, asking
andrecolnmendlng a daily mail from
Dodge City to Ensign and return. There
was not one word In my report regarding
a trl.weekly mail, which the report will
show. III. d. will stop and think
moment he will remember that the day
he was to meet me at my house was very
windy and be failed to come. Irecelved
the diagram about one week after my
report had been sent to the Second AS
slstant Postmaster General, but | finished
same and forwarded 1t.
Now have presented both sides juit
as they are and the readers Of this paper
will. be the judge whether The three sub.
ccribers to the daiies are imposed on or
the balance Of the patrons Of the line.

Ing very painful bruise. This accident
Is the only one that has happened at the

lucky cause Of 1t, has been the most care
full of the players and has repeatedly
cautioned the other boys about this very
kind of an accident. 1t seemed to be his
unlucky night and no one could regret
such an occurrence more than he does.

DODGE CITY. KANSAS, THURSDAY. MARCH II, 1904,
ACCIDENT NOT WITNESSED.
Account of Sad Death of Milton Scates
of Liberal.

ACCOUNT OF oau DedIn VI WiituiI oCdlos
of Liberal.
The Liberal News Of last week gives
the following account Of the accidental
killing Of Milton Scates: Tuesday
morning, at about 5 o'clock, Milton A.
scates, who has been managing the
Scates' ranch about u miles north Of the
CITY, died from lnjulies received in fall
with a horse. Monday afternoon the
boys on the ranch were busy cutting out
cattle to place In the corral. Ats O'Clock
Milton and Claude Scates attempted to
corral q few cattle. Claude was left at
the gate and Milton rode to the bunch of
stock-a distance Of a quarter Of mile.
Claude says be saw Milton's horse plunge
into tile bunch trying to cut out one Of
the cows, then bis attention was directed
to another direction. When he looked
again towards the bunch Of cattle, he
saw the horse just recovering from fall.
He looked for a moment to see II be
could sec his brother and not seeing him,
Claude mounted one Of the COW horses
and quickly rode to see II Milton was
hurt, Hc found Milton lying unconscious
near the spot where the horse had fallen.
5hul made every effort to revive the IN.
jured brother, but failed. He then went
to The house, got some water and again
made efforts to revive the injured one,
but failed, lie then, with the assistance
of Mrs. M, A. Scates. carried Milton to
wagon and drove to the house and tele-
phoned for medical assistance. DR..
Smith arrived in a short time and work
ed all night with the injured man. At
s a. m. Tuesday the tiny spark of life left
the body and Milton never returned to
consciousness from the time the accident
happened.
No one knows just how the accident
occurred 1t Is the general impression
that the horse ran over a COW and was
thrown to The ground with considerable
violence, The only mark on the body
of Dr. Scates was on the left temple, a
mere scratch. Conclusion of the brain
was the direct cause of death.
Milton Andrew Scates was born No.
vember 81, 1870, at Ellsworth, Kansas.
He has always been an earnest and i'll
dustrious worker in anything that he had
attempted. His dealings with all man.
kind has been IN the right. He was
member of the Christian church. He
was married February "a, 1902 to Miss
Frances Sternberg. He leaves wife,
mother, four sisters and four brothers to
mourn bis departure,
The remains were inferred in tile Lib
eral cemetery. A short funeral service
was held at thegrave by Rev. A. W. Inde
Of Tyrone. Desnite the sand storm
