RETURNED FROM OLD MICHIGAN.

VIM. L. Coryell returned on
Tuesday, Oct. 3Ist, : to Medicine
Lodge, feeling better than for many
months, and SO feshy that he is
likely to burst all the buttons off
his clothes. Only for the earnest.
entreaties of his Chicago friends, to
remain one more night with them,
he would have been on the ill-fat-
ed California Limited, the wreck
ing of which killed I3 passengers
and wounded IS. He thinks it
pays (sometimes) to yield to others
and has no regrets on this occasion.
Mr.. Coryell expects to offer his
real and personal property for a
quick sale and return to his native
state where his relatives all live,
and where he has many strong in
ducements to return.
We are authorized to state that
not only his real estate but his
high graded stock consisting of
horses, cattle and hogs will be offer
ed at bargain prices. See him at
his home near this city.

SAYS MILT HULL WAS MURDERED.

The Alva Review, in comment
ing on Milt Hull's tragic death, has
this to say. 1t appears that Mr..
Hull was the victim of cold blood
ed murder and it would indeed be a
shame and disgrace on the name of
civilization if the guilty parties are
not hunted down and severely pun
ished:
Tuesday the Review man a trip
to Ingersoll to investigate further.
MIR. Hull was very weak and grad
ually growing worse and before
this is in print he will undoubtedly
be numbered with the dead. That
he was brutality assaulted in Har-
per dive and thrown off the roof as
dead there can be no doubt. We
went straight to Cal Chilly who
was with Hull at Harper and who
brought him home, and have
straight facts. The story that Milt
had been drinking and fell off the
roof was a lie on the face of it..
Hull was not feeling well and had
not touched drop that day and is
not man who ever drinks to ex-
cess. 1t seems that he was playing
poker and all had left the game
and room at about a. m. except
Hull and four others. Crilly came
up and watched for a time and
heard one say, eve will skin the
deaf S of b. now" meaning
Hull who is hard of hearing. Grill
ly gave Milt the sign that they
were all against him but he refus-
ed to stop. Chilly then went down
to get something to eat and at that
time Hull had some $50 or 500 in
front of him. After eating Crilly
returned to the poker room and
there found the four in close con-
sultation and upon inquiry for Hull
they replied that che had dubbed
in and gone to bed" AS far as
Hull remembers was that he
stepped into the hall, the lights
went out and the next he knows
some one was dragging him across
the roof from which he was thrown.
What seemed to him the going out
OF the lights was probably a blow
on the chin which knocked him
senseless. His chin was bruised on
the left side, and his right eye
BACKED and swollen and his left
hip crushed and he was injured in
ternally by the fall. There is no
doubt in the minds of all Woods
county people but that Milt Hull
was foully murdered and the best
that Harper can do to clean away
that dark spot in her history is to
bring the guilty parties to speedy
Justice if possible.

One of the last ante election circulars,
which is presumed to have had its
authorship in the; HazeIton Land Com
pany, stated that before railroads came
to Barber county land was worth $50
per acre while now it can be purchased
for $50, improvements included. That
kind of story will do to tell in the cost
but here in Kansas where the people
here could be had for the taking and
very few wanted 1t even then; but as
soon as a railroad struck the county It
began to be worth something and every
additional road advanced the price.
Ask any old settler and this Ia the story
he will tell you. The fellow who put
that $30-per acre whopper IN print is
distinctively entitled to membership In
the ''something- Ola. liar myself'' class.
