troubles in other towns as the re-
suit of Fourth of July celebrations,
the day as spent in Medicine Lodge
looks pretty satisfactory. None
who attended the picnic here have
been heard to express any regrets.
Commissioner P. w. Flanagan
OF klowa, was so taken up with

ed several daysafter commissioners

There was little blaze at one
of the Index homes last Wednes-
day. Chas. Painter came pretty
near losing his home. The fire
started in the bed room and had
gained considerable headway be-
fore it was discovered. The garden
hose and a lot of volunteer neigh
bors put it out. One room is con
,siderably damaged and nearly all
of the family's wearing apparel
was destroyed. The cause Of the
fire is unknown.
If the parties who say and be-
lieve that the Index published the
court proceedings incorrectly last
week, will bring us the journal en-
try in each case and prove it we
will be under obligations to them.
The Index publishers attended
court on that occasion, heard the
Judge make his orders and saw the
records and hence are very sure that
they could not have been mistaken.
The fault-fnders are very much off
their respective trolleys.
Thurman Balding of Sun CITY.
lost his entire stock of drugs, hard
ware and confectionery by fire on
Monday of last week. The build
Ing was owned by Louis Bissantz.
The fire also spread to Walter
Sears residence near the store and
consumed it, MIR. Sears being abb
sent at harvest work at the time.
The entire loss of stock and build.
ings is about $4,000, none of which
was covered by insurance so far as
we have been able to learn. The
fire started Sunday night but was
discovered and put ont, so it was
thought, but on Monday it broke
out again and consumed everything
before it could be checked. The
origin of the fire is a mystery.
