UNDER CHARGE OF ASSAULT
I. ". TAYLOR AND FRED EURD HAVE
TROUBLE AND BLOWS FOLLOW.
Hurd Too Much Done Up to Come to Town.
and His Wife Swears Out Complaint,
Charging That Taylor Cl1bbed His
Victim with Pistol

Sherman county land is becoming
valuable. People will even fight for it.
This happened in the EversOll- Bandy
ARRAY, and now comes a complaint
from the northwest, the Hurd home,
that in a rough and tumble fight be
tween F. A. Hurd and 7. W. Taylor
Tuesday afternoon, over the right to
strip of buffalo grass, that Taylor pun
ished his antagonist pretty severely.
Mrs. HELEN Hurd, wife of Fred Hurd,
swore out the complaint, charging
Taylor with assault with intent to kill,
and that Taylor pounded Hurd with
revolver.
Sheriff Bradley went out to the Tay-
lor place, four and half miles north
west of town, Wednesday afternoon and
arrested Taylor. The preliminary trial
will be held Friday before Justice
Floyd. Taylor was released upon his
own reccgnisance, and promise to APP
pear for trial, and went home.
Bad blood has enlisted between Hurd
and Taylor for some time Trouble
started about a year ago when Fred
Hurd brought action against Taylor for
the possession of a crop of wheat, pre-
viously sown by Taylor on land held by
him under tax title, Hurd having sub
sequently purchased the right of the
original owners to the land. Taylor
settled with Hurd, giving a quit claim
deed, and, according to Taylor's con-
tention, a word-of-mOuth agreement
that he should have one-half the crop.
Hurd denied, and having no written
agreement, Taylor was defeated in the
district court at a cost of $50.
Since then these neighbors have look
ed askance at each other, and Tuesday
trouble breaks out in a new spot. The
TAYLOR version is about as follows: my
boy was herding my cattle on my own
land, but near the line between Hurd's
land and mine. Hurd came on the
scene, cursed my boy, called him vile
names, and attempted to run my cattle
across the line with view of taking
them up. 1 rode down there and asl1e d
Hurd what was the matter. He ans
g-d-s-b-and 1 will show you what's
the matter
81 dismounted. Hurd assaulted me
and both struck and kicked me. We
clinched. 1 downed him, and struck
him three times with my fist. When he
hollOed enough 1 let him up. During
the scufie Hurd's boy came at me
with a heavy club. After he had struck
me across the back I called on my boy
to keep him of. -
Taylor denies having a pistol with
him, had one at the house which he had
sometimes used to shoot at a mark.
He insists that Hurd was the aggressor
and acted without PrOvocation.
Fred Hurd was said by his wife TO
have been severely pOmmeled with
revolver in the hand of Taylor, but as
Hurd could not be seen, his story of the
trouble could not be obtained.

Judge GIN Reappointed.

While there was no important legis-
latiOn of direct interest to Kansas en-
acted at the session of congress, the
Kansas delegation were successful in

A Freight Train DerniIed.

EastbOund local freight No. y, In
charge Of Conductor Bert Farley and
Engineer Pat Brown, was derailed last
Friday morning about two miles this
side Of Colby. The accident was caused
by the train breaking int wo" and the
hind portion colliding with the forward
part, throwing four cars from the rails,
one Of which turned crosswise on the
track, and another car went nearly out
of the right of way and broke in two in
the middle. The cars that left the track
were unlOaded- Engineer Brown en-
deavOred to keep the forward part of
the train moving, but an air pipe gave
away, setting the air, which stopped the
front end and the trainmen were unable
to stop the rear end in the short dist
ance that was between the parting, by
the hand brakes. The wrecker was
sent out from GOOdland to clear the
track. The accident caused a delay to
the milk trains and delayed No. Al one
hour. An investigation resulted in find
ing that the accident was unavoidable,
and no blame is attached to the train
crew

JAPAN HAS ENEMY on Run
RUSSIANS nECAKPIFG-PORT ARTHUR
FLEET REPORTED BLOWN UP.
Jap Losses at YaIu River Not 50 Heavy
as Reported kurOPatkin's Cas-
uaIties VIII Number Close
tn 1000.

It looks as though the Russians have
not stopped to catch their breath since
the laps waded the YaIu river and
scrambled up the hill-sides, driving the
Cars army from its chosen position.
The Russian forces have evacuated Fung
Wang Chang and Niuchwang, and the
Lao Yang peninsula, at the south of
which is Port Arthur, has been isolated
by the Japanese.
The Yalu river fight is the only in
stance Of the Russians making a stand
They are decamPing and retreating
northward with the japanese armies
on their trail.
An official report of the casualties at
the battle of the Yalu river shows 81
japanese officers killed and % wounded;
I6O men killed and 666 wounded. This
is a total OF $50. On the Russian side
l 1862 men were found dead on the
field. -Four hundred and seventy-five
wounded are in Japanese hospitals and
138 men were taken prisoners This is
a total Of 1875. 1t is believed the Rus
SLAMS carried away as many more in
wounded.
A recent report says that the Russians
have destroyed their feet at Port
Arthur. Since the 9Th of May Admiral
Togo reports to his government that
many explosions have been heard COM
ing from the vicinity of Port Arthur,
and draws the conclusion that the Rus
slams, despairing of their ability to hold
the port, are destroying their ships be-
fore evacuating the place.
Conservative opinion seems to point
to the probability that the japanese will
be victorious for some time to come if
they do not win ultimate victory. The
Japanese are intensely patriotic and
heroic, while the Russian troops, forced
to the east, many of them by force Of
arms, are not proving themselves the
best fighters in the world. Much OP-
position to the war has arisen IN Russia
among the common people, and report
says that the Nihilists have tried to kill
the Gar by placing a bomb in the lib
rary of the winter palace. Russia's
fighting at long range and with an
army that does not feel a personal in
terest in an expansion that cannot
awaken their patriotism is a factor not
to be overlooked in the consideration Of
the outcome of the contest.

Courtyard water System,

The water system in the courtyard is
completed By proper use of water
the trees in the yard are secure from
drOuth. The system is so arranged
that the trees can be watered in three
different ways: By the windmill pump
ing direct into the pipes, or from the
pond when full and by the use of city
water in case the well or mill should
give out in time of a drouth. In using
the system the water can be conducted
to any part of the yard and water the
trees that need it. By the old way the
trees nearest to the reservoir received
water every time it was turned on, and
those in the extreme parts of the yard
received little or no water.

a LITTLE DISAPPOINTING.
Buyers Think Prices Have Been Too High
-Unstesdy Market Results.

Kansas City, Mo, May 1O.-Cattle
receipts here last week were p, 600
head, 5000 less than previous week.
Beef cattle buyers insisted that prices al
Kansas City have been too high, as
compared with Chicago, and made an
effort toward what they considered a
proper adjustment. Statesmen, on the
other hand, expected advances every
day, and the market was somewhat
disappointing. Supply the first two
days this week has been moderate.
Prices yesterday were steady, but mar
ket to-day is weak to 10 cents lower, on
run Of 10, 900 head. Medium to com
mon COWS were lower yesterday, and
are no better to-day. Top steers last
week brought S5-35, but they were extra
choice. Straight heifers reached S5.O5
last Wednesday, best price of the sea
son so far There are a good many
orders held here for stOckers and feed
ers, but instructions are TO buy them at
lower prices than those that prevail
now. Veal calves took a big slump of
Is to so cents per hundred yesterday;
best now bring $3.50. Although the
cattle market the past ten days has
been disappointing, the general Opin-
ion is that good, fat COWS and heifers
are going to hold up at steady prices,
while matured steers are scarce en-
Ough in the country to not "get be-
hind the flag" Stocksrs and feeders,
however, usually break during May, OF
the first Of June, when grass commences
to boom a little.
Hog receipts last week were 49, 900
head, 1000 less than previous week.
Prices advanced the last half of the
week, closing a shade better than close
of previous week Market was steady
yesterday, and is steady to 5 cents
lower to-day, with top Of S4.S5; bulk
OF all sales at S4.65 to 81. S21E. There
is a general bearish sentiment here, for
the reason that this market has ruled
right in line with Chicago for the past
ten days, and the latter part of last
week bulk of hogs sold cents higher
here than at St. Louis.
Sheep prices lost Is to IS cents last
week. Supply increased :, 900 over pre-
viOus week, amounting to 19, 900 head,
but was very much short of same week
last year. Texas sheep made up about
One-half of the supply, and they were
the cause of the declines. Everything
now coming is clipped stock, and the
prices quoted are for that class. Best
lambs bring up to $3.50; wethers S. rs;
ewes IS. Some spring lambs, weighing
so to IS pounds, are coming, and sell at
S. to S7.25.-J. A. Rickart.
