The case OF the State VS., Peter Scott,
charged with the murder OF DIT. Henry,
was submitted to Judge Bruce late
Wednesday Afternoon. Judge Bruce took
the case under ndviscment until $50
this forenoon, when he rendered a de-
clsion dischurg!ng the defendant.
Judge Bruce studied the evidence adj
duccd at the examination and came to
the conclusion that it WIS not sufficient
to justify him in holding The defendant
to appear before the grand jury.
Scott was discharged from cLstady
and later in the day he left for his home
at Fort HnlIeck.
Tho failure OF Judge Bruce to hold
Scott t" answer before the grand jury
should not On Ise the off cers to relax
their 'ifnrLs to discover the man or men
who rohbcd and murdered Mr.. Henry.
II people Of the county look TO then to
ferret the perpetrators OF this crime.
Tie commissioners Mt their next
meeting should offer a reward for the
arrest u conviction of the murderer
aud should also petition Governor
Sparks tn do the same.
No effort should be spared, whatever
the cost to hunt down and punish the man
or meh guilty OF this brutal murder. 1t
Is only by the punishment OF crime that
the lives and property of tho citizens Of
this county can be protected. Money

FROM TUESDAYS DAILY.
Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1905-10-25
ON THE STAGE.

The Marie Fountain Theatre
Company unexpectedly visited
Medicine Lodge last Wednesday
and favored our people with a
nightly entertainment the balance
of the week. This is the same
company that was billed for the
town few weeks ago but after
wards cancelled the dates on ac-
count of the city's being SO small.
Their coming last week was an ac-
cident. They had been billed for
Wellington but it happened to be
carnival week there and they could
not get accommodations and were
crowded out.
They are certainly an excellent
company. They consist of twenty
one artists and musicians. Their
band and orchestra are far above
any that have ever visited our city
and their dancers are better than
many that appear in the theatres
of such cities as Kansas City and
St. Louis. Each member does
good stage work. The opening
number, "The Gamblers Wife, and
the closing one, "The Fatal Scar .
were especially fine. The latter
production was one of Frank
James strong performances until
the Fountain Company bought it.
The opera house was literally
filled each night which proves
again that good company need
not be afraid to come to Medicine
Lodge.

FOR A COURT HOUSE WALK.

A movement is on foot to petit
ton the county commissioners to
put in cement walks along the
court house yard on Kansas avenue
east and Washington avenue east.
The old board walk, especially on
Washington avenue, is in a very
unsafe condition. On Saturday
night when the crowd went home
from the theatre it was quite dark
and there were several falls. If the
walk is permitted to remain in
this condition the chances for brok-
en- arms and legs will be good all
winter. 1t is contended that the
walks along the court house yard
are under the control of the county
and hence it becomes the duty of
the county board to keep them up.
