The census official who issued
that silly order that Washington

because it is "toc wild is getting
some redhot shot from the press of

ignorance Of actual conditions here.

Leader in commenting on the sub
ject says: "It is true that Okla

Indians in the state. Oklahoma,

nous crimes. But the people Of the
western country are not savages.
Yes, there are Indians here, but
none 50 uncivilized as those Of the
Tama reservation in Iowa, but as to
being the "scene Of some famous
crimes we must draw the line.
We have had a lot OF mollycoddles
from here prance around through
out the east wearing big hats and
chaps labeled "Oklahoma," but
those fellows never committed any
other crimes. In brief Oklahoma
has been a very ordinary sort of
peaceable settlement of ordinary
peaceable folks with a sprinkling of
gallery players" who have from
time to time given us lot Of unen-
viable notoriety. After all the fell

nearly $4,000, bearing six per cent.
In addition to this, ten per cent is

SHARON 10, HARPER S.

The Sharon ball team assisted
by good size crowd did the pri-
mary act to Fourth of July cele-
bration, taking the base ball am
bition out of the Harper Missfts to
the racket of 10 to S. Harper has
very nice looking ball team, and
to prove that they have all made a
noise in society circles they acted
more like they were out to an
afternoon tea. Sharon started the
big act of the performance in the
second inning. Now one Mr..
Freeman, who pitches for Harper,
has all the curves. speed and every
thing that good pitcher should
have, and he has a very graceful
way of dishing them up to the
boys, and all he had to do was to
start one in the neighborhood of
the plate, and the boy with the
stick in his hand would poke it out
to some unexpected place on the
lot, and with the very kind assist
ance of the various members of
the team in getting out of the way
of the ball, throwing it away and
so on, Sharon put six nice big dents
in the home plate.
The real home life part of the
game was the temperance of one
Mr.. Roscoe Davis on the firing line
for Sharon. Mr.Davis is dispens
er of curves that are on the fooling
order, allowing two safe hits in the
seven innings he worked when he
got a finger in the way of a ball at
the wrong time and had to retire
in favor of Drauhard who has
always got a fine article of ball to
deliver. In the seventh with two
men on bases McDaniels knocked
a ball to Smith in right, Smith los
ing the ball and before he could
get a search warrant out for the
Spalding pellet Mcdaniel made
the complete circuit, otherwise the
score would have been 10 to 2.

Kind Words for Rev. and Mrs. Wa. Cain.

The following from a recent
number of the Caldwell News will
be Of interest to the Medicine
Lodge and Barber county friends
Of Rev. and Mrs. w. A. Cain. Rev.
and Mrs. Cain recently removed
from Caldwell to Wichita:
"On account Of the removal from
Caldwell of a number of the pas
tors of the churches, the Ministerial
Union was for a time very materi.
ally reduced in membership. The
last pastor to leave Our community
was Rev. w. A. Cain, pastor of the
Baptist church. The Ministerial
Union, now in process of reorgani-
zation with the incoming of new
pastors, offers as an explanation
for not heretofore noticing the de-
parture of Brother Cain, that it
has not benin a condition to prop
erly transact any business. The
Union, while regretting the delay,
now takes pleasure in submitting
the following:
"The Ministerial Union of Cald-
we'll, in view of the departure from
our community of Rev. w. A. Cain,
recently pastor of the Baptist
church, desires to place on record
the following resolutions:
81. That Our association with
Brother Cain during his pastorate
in Caldwell was of the most pleas
ant character and such as to endear
him to US as a brother possessed of
excellent qualities and abilities
and of most kindly and liberal
spirit.
90. That we desire to place up
on record our recognition of the
good work done by Brother Cain
as pastor and as citizen and as a
willing helper in every good cause.
SO. That we recognize the value
of the good done by Sister Cain,
in both faithful example and earn
est effort in religion and temper
ance work.
"a. That our best wishes go
with Brother and Sister Cain to
their new place of abode, that their
usefulness and happiness may be
continued and that they may enjoy
special blessings and abundant
prosperity from our kind Heavenly
Father"

ROAD ORDERED OPENED.

County Commissioners Lake
and Wadsworth, in conjunction
with County Surveyor McClearey
viewed the proposed new road
through the Warren and Jackson
farms north of this city last Wed
neSday. This is the road matter
that has been in controversy since
the first of the year. Walter Jack
son is the principal petitioner and
J. 0. Warren is the principal re-
monstrator, and both the petition
and remonstrance are now on file
IN the county clerks office.
lhe commissioners, as viewers,
granted the road as prayed in the
last petition but have not yet fixed
the amount of damages. Mr..
Jackson who is damaged more
than any other land owner, but
who is the principal petitioner and
will be benefited by the road, has
agreed to give free right of way if
the county will stand actual ex-
pense of moving fences. The road
will cut off a corner of his alfalfa
hog pasture and also a corner oi
his alfalfa hay field, besides ex-
tending through his pasture.
Mr.. Warren presented a claim
for 5000. He says his damage is
greater than that amount but
rather than enter into litigation
he will settle for 5000. The road
deprives Mr.. Warren of between six
and eight acres of pasture land. II
cuts through a forty-acre tract
along side of hill but does not
touch any of the farm land, but it
cuts a corner of rough land off from
water. The amount of land actu-
ally appropriated for public do.
main is small and Mr.. Warren
bases his claim almost entirely on
being cut off from water. About
eighteen acres of the forty are
cut away from Elm creek. Of this
about twelve acres are n ow fenced
out of thepasture and in crop. While
Mr.. Warren made no outright
threat he left the inference that il
the Board turns down his claim he
will appeal to the district court
The commissioners will pass on
the matter at the July meeting.
The establishment of the new
road will call for a bridge across
Elm creek south of Walter lack
sons house. The road will be an
exceptionally good one, cutting
out several bad sand pulls and will
be great benefit to the farmers of
Elm Mills and Amber vicinities.
The old Isabel road will not be va
Gated, and parties who desire to
continue travelling that road can
do so.

HAZELTON'S SALOON SEIZED.

Last Friday afternoon Sheriff
McCracken and County Attorney
Cloud went to Hazelton and took
possession of the saloon in that
city, placing the proprietor, John
Moffat, under arrest on a charge OF
selling Intoxicating liquor and
maintaining a nuisance contrary to
statute made and provided. The
sheriff took possession of all the
wet goods and fixtures in the house
and engaged three teams and wag:
ons and brought everything, includ,
ing Mofat, to the Jail the same
night for safe keeping subject to
the order of the court. The goods
in the sheriff's hand are as follows:
Two refrigerators, bar, water
cooler, two cases empty beer bot
ties, twelve cases beer, three cases
Old Times whiskey, one case Mat
tingly & Moore whiskey, one keg
Breckinridge whiskey, three jugs
whiskey, one case Fine Old Port
wine, cork puller, six bottles whis
key and wine from bar, one case
Setter Rye, one case Cognac bran
dy, three spigot bottles, two fun
nels, shaker, strainer, five Tom 6
Jerry mugs, thirty-hve beer, whis-
key and wine glasses.
The sheriff and county attorney
walked in on the proprietor most
unexpectedly at the busy time of
the afternoon while several thirsty
citizens were being refreshed. The
proprietor was surprised but with
al courteous and peaceable and
there were no unpleasant express
sions, except on the part of one or
two bystanders.
Fourteen names of witnesses for
the state are endorsed on the infor-
nation. County Attorney Cloud
says he has unquestioned evidence
OF the defendants guilt and unless
it can be shown that some of the
papers in the case are faulty, is
sanguine of securing a conviction.
Mr.. Moffat has employed Noble
& Tincher to represent him. The
trial OF the property has been set
for July 9th when an adjourned
day Of court will be held, and if
the position of the state is sustain
ed the goods will be ordered de-
stroyed. The defendants trial
proper will not be until October,
and he was released on a bond of
$ 500. His sureties are F. L. Bas-
sett, S. H. Wells and c. F. Good
an, all of Hazelton.
In the meantime the thought of
SO much liquid refreshment under
lock and key during these hot
summer days is almost unbearahle.
Everybody would like to be Sheriff
McCracken's special friend all
summer.
