Hon. VIM. Garrison OF Pond Creek.
Oklahoma, was In the city on Monday,
shaking hands with Barber county
friends. He came up to look after
business matters at his old home at
Sharon, and Notwithstanding that he is
doing we'll in Oklahama, there Is still a
warm spot IN his heart for Barber coun-
ty and her people. He returned home
yesterday. Col. Garrison has the refusal
of $4,000 for his farm at Pond Creek.
Of course, he has no idea of selling. He
says the country is making rapid strides
in wealth and population. Charley
Brattain, formerly of this place is now
sheriff there and Col. Garrison says he
is making an excellent officer aud will be
re elected easily. Mr.. Garrison is look.
ing we'll. He doesn t look year older
than when he represented Barber coun.
ty In the legislature. Since going to
Oklahoma he has represented his dis
trict In the upper house of the territor.
ial legislature and Is still recognized
power in territorial affairs. The peo-
pie OF Oklahoma should elect him as
their next delegate to congress.

Stole a Wheel.

Bert Maddox, who used to be youth
full character in Medicine Lodge In
the '80's, blew In from the north last
Friday to renew acquaintances of his
earlier days.
On Sunday Sheriff Haun got a re-
ward card from Kingman describing a
stolen bicycle and before the sun had
made it's exit behind the western hills
Bert was in the cage. This might not
have happened so soon if he had not
talked so much. Before he was in town
an hour he told many of his supposed
friends that he was travelling on a
wheel but sold it to a farmer q few
miles northeast of town. Upon inquiry
Sheriff Haun learned that the wheel
was sold to j. A. Louthan near Num-
ford. He droye up Sunday and exam
lned the wheel and it answered the
description in every detail. He arrest
ed Maddox as soon as he got back to
town.
Deputy Sheriff Cheatum of Kingman
came in on Monday and took both the
bike and Maddox back yesterday. He
will be prosecuted for grand larceny.
Our old settlers remember Bert when
he used to be here. as a boy of about Il
summers. The family used to reside
in an old log house, long since removed
on lots now owned by w. ii. McCague
In q way, they were quite popular.

L. ". Thompson Sells.

L. w. Thompson closed a deal on
Saturday with S. F. Stewart of Topeka
for the sale of his ranch seven miles
southeast of this city. Mr.. Thompson's s
ranch consists of 600 acres of we'll i'm
proved land. In part payment he takes
farm of $50 acres near Topeka and
residence property in the city and four
acres Of ground. The transaction on
both sides aggregates $34, 10000. Mr..
Thompson left for Topeka yesterday
TO attend to matters connected with
the purchase of his property there. He
and his family will move to Topeka
some time this spring and take life
easy. II there is man in Kansas who
deserves rest it is Lewis Thompson.
He has put in many days of long hours
of toll in southern Kansas and Oklaho-
ma and has stored away a nice little
sum of money and he deserves to enjoy
it. OF course the Index regrets to see
him and his good family leave Barber
county. We would rather See them
move to Medicine Lodge, but wish him
God-speed IN his new home.
Mr.. Stewart will hold the ranch as a
means of speculation.

reference to the new pump and fixtures
to utilize the old waterwheel at the

little with reference to the locations
of the pump. The original intention
was to put the pump close to the water.
wheel, but men of experience
say that the low altitude would
work great injury to the pump on ac-
count of the sand and gravel that would
work IN, and to circImvent that trouble
it has been decided to put the pump
near the reservoir. This will. in ad.

if for any reason the water wheel does

The Henninssen Children Transferred

On Saturday E. l.. Stratton, superin-
tendent of The Kansas Children's
Home Society of Wichita took little
Charley and Marie Henningsen, who
have been kept at the poor farm, to
the Wichita Home. Their parents, as
stated before in this paper, are In jail
serving a sentence for larceny The
parents consented to putting the little
boy in the Home but they protested
vigorously on sending the little girl. The
children are and 5 years of age, the
boy being the older.
1t costs the county 500 to get the
children into the home-$50 for each.
The institution is maintained by popu-
lar subscription. Before communi-
eating with Mr. StrattOn. the commits
siOners were figuring on sending the
children to the Soldiers Orphans Home
at AtchisOn, state institution, but
after looking the matter up they found
that the county might be held liable for
their future maintenance there, where
as the Wichita Home relieves them OF
all liability after $lG0 is paid. 80 that
they figured that the latter place was
the cheaper as well as better for the
children.
Peter Henningsen, the father Of the
children, was released from Jail yester.
day, his sentence of go days having ex'
pired. The mother was sentenced slx
months. An older boy, Teddy, was
sent to the reform school few months
ago for stealing. The family is Ger.
tainly sadly broken up.
