TO BORE FOR GAS.
An Indiana Concern Wants to Lease
Barber County Lands fer that
Purpose.

a. f. Nandersall of Marion,
Indiana, representing an Indian
anopolis Oil and Gas Syndicate, is
touring southern Kansas in search
of land leases. He arrived here
on Tuesday of last week and is at
present making Medicine Lodge
headquarters. Mr.. Vandersall de-
sires to lease $4,000 acres of Barber
county land for one year and if he
succeeds, the company will put
down number of prospect wells
IN different parts of the county.
He asks that the leases be given in
the nature Of bonus, and that is
all that is asked TO start the enter
prise-all other expense is to be
borne by the company.
1t is the intention of the com
Pany to begin operations next
April provided Mr.. NanderSall can
secure the leases. If he fails to Sc,
cure them the matter will be drop
ped.
To start the ball rolling, Samuel
Stewart, who always gets in on
the ground floor in matters Of
public enterprise, has already
volunteered to turn over 1000 acres
under the terms of Mr.. Vandersall's S
contract and others have signihed
their intention of doing something
III the same direction.
The proposition looks very
reasonable on its face and if back
ed by proper guarantee, it ought
not be a difficult matter TO secure
the desired leases.

V. S. COOK.


Elder y. 9. Walker rendered his
resignation to the Christian church
on Monday, to take effect February
1st. Like many other churches in
this western country, the Christian
church is not overrun with funds
and they are considerably behind
on the pastor salary. TO relieve the
board from further embarrassment
Elder Walker rendered his resigna-
ton.
There is the utmost good will
between the pastor and the church
and the general public. No min
lister who was ever in Medicine
Lodge enjoyed the esteem of the
people to greater extent
than does Elder Walker. He is an
able pastor and a cordial gentle
man in every sense. He has not
yet decided on his future charge
but has several good offers.

years Mr.. Wilkins was with the Ger
laCh-Hopkins Mercantile Co. at

deal more about the business than
he knew before. Brough never was
slow as store-keeper, ,and with his
additional experience, we look fol
him to do big buiiness when he
gets his new store established. He

CAUGHT A SWINDLER.

\ smooth swindler whose name
is A. Coo was arrested at Hardt-
ner by F. a. Achenbach and VIM.
Derrick, members of the Hardtner
Anti horse thief association. They
brought him to the city Saturday
evening and turned him over to
Sheriff l1aun, who the following
morning delivered him to Sheriff
Young of Butler county who drove
10 Hazclton and took the noon
train cast.
The crime for which Coe was
wanted was the swindling of But
ler county farmers out of two spans
of mules. 1t is said that Coe. rep
resented himself to be mule buyer,
went out into the country near.
Benton, where he purchased two
pairs of mules from farmers, paving
them with checks on a bank. As
soon as he got possession of the.
mules he took them TO Wichita and
sold them for $3.50 in cash and
made a haSty departure. When
the farmers who had sold the mules
attempted to cash their checks they
found that Coe had no funds Ill
the bank, and very naturally they
began to make it tropical for him.
The Sedgwick and Butler sheriffs
traced the swindler in a south
westerly direction and phoned
Sheriff Haun. Sheriff Haun phon-
ed to different points adjacent to
Medicine Lodge and Barber coun-
ty, and it happened that Coe drove
into Hardtner few minutes after
Messrs. Derrick and Acllenbaugh
received the sheriff's message. He
was travelling in a single buggy.

NICE GREEN HOUSE.

About the middle of last month
Capt. J. L. Brady completed nice
Green House and now has it we'll
stocked with thrifty plants of many
different varieties. The house is
1ox3o feet and was built at a cost
of over $500. 1t is up-to-date in
every respect and only lacks a
furnace to be all that could be de-
sired. This improvement will be
added probably next fall. This
winter MIR. Brady's finances com
pei him to get along with an or
binary stove.
Many of Mr.. Brady's plants are
OF his own propagation while an
equal number if not more are in-
ported and come from Speci ally
selected stock. Many of them are
now in bloom, suitable for Christ
mas and New Year gifts, and when
Easter time comes the house will
be well supplied. A number of
years ago Capt. Brady had a nice
Green House but through different
misfortunes was not able to keep it
up. This one, ,however,is much more
subs tantial and he hopes to main
tain it. 1t is the only one in this
part of the country to our knowl-
edge and the people of the city and
surrounding country should help to
maintain it.
Those who admire nice flowers
and house plants should take an
afternoon off to visit Captain and
Mrs. Brady and spend an hour or
two under the skylight" among
the perfumed lilies and countless
other beauties.
