ONCE GOODLAND MANS CRIME
HANK cARPEETEE KILLS WIFE, TEKK
COMMITS SUICIDE IN CLIFTON, ARIz.
sE8ad Man. OF the FrOatier. and Leader q
the Gang in Eustis-GOOdland County
seat War, That Took Records from
Eussis by Means OF stx-shOOtsr.

The Norton Champion, of September
%, contained the following sensational
article about Hank CarpenteI, a histor-
ic figure in the county seat war in this
county in 1886 and 1887:
"a telegram from Harry Carpenter
to his grandfather, John T. Renee,
reached here last Friday, stating that
Hank Carpenter killed his wife and
then himself. The tragedy occurred in
Clifton, Arizona. Hank Carpenter was
once in business here with his brother
in-law, James 9. Renee, since deceased.
AFTER his first wife died, Carpenter
married Nebraska woman, but they
parted Then he took up with Big Fred,
a celebrity of Pea Green Alley and
they lived together in Topeka, Kansas
City, and, as report shows, Clifton,
Ariz., but whether married or not we
do not know.
Hank Carpenter posed as a bad
man, a gun artist, and in the early days
made quite a record as such in the
county seat fights between Eustis and
GoodIand, Sherman county, for which
see the last report of the State Histori-
cal society.
For some years he was on the To-
peka police force, but lost out on &C
count of his uncertain methods and
character. The daily papers have it that
he ouarrelled with his wife and sep
arated from her through jealousy. In di-
viding the property between them the
fatal quarrel came up that cost them
their lives.
Carpenter was not his real name.
In early life he committed some crime
that made him change his location and
name. He was man of fine physical
proportions, but of fierce temper and
ungovernable passions. The bad end
was before him ever, as from choice
he followed the broad pike of pleas
ures not devoid of thOrns, and a wild
cactus in Arizona must stand as his TT
test monument"
The article above referred to is in
volume eight of the Kansas historical
collections, which pictures Hank Car
penter as half cowboy and half citizen,
one of those bold dashing men of the
frontier, who enjoyed a round with
guns better than a good dinner. He
mustered a posse of like fellows and
some real cowboys who cared no more
for the life Of a man than most people
for the life of a dog. They offered 10

Train Blown on the Track.

The Atwood Patriot says that last
Tuesday night, a week ago, the Beaver
Valley flyer on the B. & n. branch was
blown of the track at Wheeler, IN Chey-
enne county, and two men seriously
hurt. The entire train with the exceP-
ton of the engine, left the rails, and
several of the cars overturned.
Conductor William Cropp, in charge
Of the train and a brakeman whose
name we failed to learn were badly in
jured, the latter very seriously 50. The
injured men were taken to their homes
at Oxford in a special train from St
Francis, and a wrecking crew from
McCOOk went up the road early the
next morning to replace the cars on the
track.

Rev. W. J. Meredith, presiding elder
of the Norton district, was in GOodland
Sunday, and preached at the Methodist
church in the evening upon the text:
The Law Came by Moses, but Grace
and Truth Came by Jesus Christ. -
The large audience present appreciated
the able manner in which the theme
was handled. Rev. Meredith empha-
sized the fact that law of itself has no
saving grace; legislation can not make
the imprOvident PrOvident, the thrift
less thrifty nor the drunken sober.
Mosaic law brings knowledge of trans
erosion, but redemption comes by
Jesus Christ The one is negative,
the other positive, Law IS satisfied only
with punishment; grace wOOes the
heart to penitence that right motives
may be set in action toward the perfor-
nance of positive, religious progress

people as to time az which It blows, as
they frequently have need Of setting their

SHARP GAME OF BALL
KanoEado and Jennings Teams Play At
Colby, Score to 0 for Jennings.


Colby, Score to for Jennings.
The best ball game ever played in
western Kansas, was pulled of at Colby,
Monday, between the KanOradO team
Of this county, and the Jennings team
Of Decatur county, the ninth inning
ending with a score of 3 TO O in favor
of Jennings. Not a score was made on
either side until the las half of the
eighth inning. A mis-iudged hy by an
in6eld player cost the first score. Jen-
ings was at the bat, and had men on
bases, when a high fly to left field was
blown back by the wind and finally
dropped within a short distance of
shOrt-stoP, the inield player suPPOsing
it would land clearly in left field, until
it was too late. The fielder could not
cover the ground. This, as is often the
case, broke the tension of the Kanorado
team and Jennings finished the inning
with three scores.
George West, Of this county, one of
the best baseball critics in western Kan
sas, saw the game, and says that in
point of merit, all Qualities of the game
considered, the KanoradO fairly out
ranked the Jennings club, in spite Of
the fact that the latter club really rep
resented FIVE towns, having two men
from Oberlin, one from Hoxie, one from
Dresden, and one from Colby, leaving
only four Jennings players.
The work done by Kanorado's pitcher,
Fred Germann, was batting enough to
his opponents. He made them drop
their stick one after another, and he re-
Peatedly shut them out by his own skill
full work. Jennings could not get a
man to first base until along the last
part of the game. The game was
played for a purse of $50 offered by
Colby to secure the match. The Kano-
RADIO players were: ]. c. Jones, D. A.
Long, John Mccall, Harve Ingram,
Arthur Ingram, Ed Harrington, Fred
German, John Thompson and Ben
Canaga. The score:
KanOrado 90 10000 90
Jennings ---------0 o o o o o 0 3 ks
Billy Walker witnessed the game, and
isn't slow in declaring that it was the
best ever seen in western Kansas. Ex-
citement ran high at the close of the
contest, and It may be Sherman county
will be'pitted,against Decatur in acham-
pionship game later on. If Decatur
thinks It can win, Walker says they'll
have to prove It.
