the same miles of railroad for tax
alton purposes and the same trans
portation and travelling facilities
as though it were L. P. property.
The stock that the county would
receive in exchange for the bonds
would be even more valuable under
Santa Fe ownership than formerly.
The only different feature would be
that we would not have competi-
tive road. No man who voted for
the bonds believed for a moment
that the road would not be sold to
some company after being built, for
it was we'll known that building and
selling roads is Mr.. Peckham' busi-
ness, but it.was believed that it
would not be sold to the Santa Fe,
and therein lies all the objection.
1t is barely possible that an upris-
ing on the part of the people might
prevent any building or subsequent
delivery of bonds and subscription
for stock, and it therefore behooves
every citizen to consider we'll his
ground before acting. When the
news of the sale first came we were
all more or less excited. Our first
impulses were not products of de-
liberation. All that has now pass
ed away and the proposition should
be met coolly and candidly.
THE GREAT BEND AND GULF.
! The fact that the sale does not
include the Great Bend & Gulf may
also result to Barber county's ad-
vantage. It's asserted that this
line is certain to be built and that
it will very probably extend from
Great Bend to Alva. 1t may be
purchased by the Rock Island OF
the Missouri Pacific or the Santa
Fe but in any event we would
have the additional miles of road
and consequent better facilities.
This, of course, is largely specula-
tion and rumor, but we do know
to a certainty that Mr.. Peckham
has invested heavily in the G. B. &
u. and whatever else we are in
clined to think of him just now, we
must all admit that he is no chump
and does not sink money into a
dead proposition, so that the rea-
sonable thing to expect is that the
road will be built.
In conclusion, the Index has nc
quarrel with the people who be-
came enraged at the turn things
have taken. We will grant that
there was cause for it. But our de-
sire is to build up and not tear
down. If we cannot get all we
hope to get, let us get part of it
We cannot even say that we are
crying over spilled milk because we
had no milk to spill. The most
that we can say is that the u. P
bubble has bursted.
Let all of us continue to be uI
and doing for Barber county.

his trip to Kiowa on Tuesday even
ing of last week. He was called
there to represent the city in the
prosecution of a man who sold his
wares without paying license.
The gentleman was "stuck" for
fine of $50. He appealed to the
district court, but later thought it
over and made an agreement
with the city to pay S. a month
and dropped the suit. T. c. Rit-
ter was the defendant. He was
represented by w. L. Owen of

The causes that led up to the
sale, according to those who speak
for the D. E. & G.. people, are many
and it would require several vol
umes to relate them fully, but the
principal element that consummat-
ed it, they say, was the trouble over
right of way. The misunderstand-
ing between Kiowa and parties be-
tween this city and Lake City, and
the company, is given as one rea-
son why they decided to unload.
The sale will provide funds to carry
on the work on the Denver, Kansas
& Gulf line.

The State of Kansas VS.. Harvey
Pelton and Albert Pelton was the
title of an action called by Justice
Collins Monday morning but Coun-
ty Attorney Griffin dismissed it
after learning all the facts. 1t was
a controversy between the Pelton
brothers and their sister, Mrs. Vesta
Watkins, over a partition fence
which the defendants removed.
Part of the material has since been
sold and the matter is in fair way
of settlement and if there is suit
at all it will be of civil nature.
Messrs. Pelton say they are sorry
the suit was dismissed. They
would liked to have settled the
question of ownership without fur
ther process.

SAY THE d. X. AND G. WILL BE BUILT
B. Gano arrived home on Fri
day afternoon and Attorney Brown
arrived Saturday night. Both of
them are very emphatic in saying
that the D. K. & G. will be built
through Barber county according
to the profile on record in the
county clerks office the same as
though there had been no sale of
the d. Z. & G. The ownership of
the road after it shall have been
built, they say, is an open question.
The Santa Fe may buy it and it
may not. At this time there
is no agreement between the D. X.
& G. people and the Santa Fe,
Then again the Missouri Pa
cifc is trying to get hold of it and
it is not entirely out of the range of
possibilities that the D. K. & G..
will sell to that company. But
one thing is certain, say Messrs.
Brown and Gano, and that is the
present sale includes only the Den
yer, Enid & Gulf between Guthrie
and the Kansas Oklahoma line at
kiowa, and for the present it will
be operated as the D. E. & G. in
dependently, the official roster re-
naming the same with the excep-
tion that James N. Young, Santa
Fe man, becomes president.
