at Seattle. They go via Minneapo-
lis where they will be joined by Miss
Grace Goodner. The best wishes Of
this community go with the travellers
on their journey and we trust they
may meet with unlimited success in
their new location.-Pierre Dako-

Joseph Brown, an aged resident
living southeast of Kadoka on the
Pine Ridge reservation, was Instant
ly killed one day last week by be-
ing crushed under load of heavy
logs that he was hauling, the team
he was driving getting beyond his
control. He was veteran of the
civil war and lived all his life on the
reservation, having married an In
dian wife. He was personally ac-
quainted with Cody, Custer and all
the old scouts and trappers who
made history on the plains in the
early days.-lCreston Chronicle.
Last Thursday evening, while the
&
bridge train from Fort Pierre was
bringing car load of bronchos ac-
cross the Missouri river bridge, one
of the wild horses did not like the
looks Of things and jumped over
the bar at the end of the car ,alight-
ing on the ties all right and made
a safe run half the length of the
bridge and across the trestle at the
west end, and was seen headed west
over the river bluffs. If the animal
had missed the ties in his run and
gone through itwould have been a
hard proposition to get him out to
the bank of the stream even If he
had been safely pulled onto the
track. Creston Chronicle.

SEEKING PARDON
Young Man Serving Short Term In
Penitentiary Being Helped by
Friends. B ~

ElEUSl6s
Sioux Falls, July 16.tA move
ment has been inaugurated in the
Black Hills to secure the pardon Of
Ivy Hilton, a young man who is
serving a term Of one year and Ave
months in the Sioux Falls peniten-
tiary for the theft of precipitates
from the assay room OF the Golden
Reward Mining company In the
Black Hills, he having been SEN
fenced In the state circuit court
from Lawrence county.
Petitions are now being circulated
in the towns of Lawrence county.
asking that. a pardon be issued In
the case, and these will be forwarded
to the state board of pardons IN hope
that action will be taken at the next
meeting of the board. It is said
that many prominent residents ofs
Lawrence county, practically all Of!
the county officers and most OF the
Jurors before whom the case was
tried, are attaching their signatures
to the petition.
The application for pardon will
be based upon the fact that this IS
the first time that Hilton has been
in trouble, that prior to being tempt
ed and committing this crime he had
been a young man Of spotless repu-,
tation, and because he has q wife
and child who are dependent upon
him for support.
Those whoare circulating the PEE
tition state that the young man
should be pardoned and given
chance to return to Lawrence coun-.
/ ty and commence life all over agafr,
and atone for his mistake in this In.
stance, and that in these efforts he
would have the assistance and SYM
pathy Of all who know him.

Big Ranch Seld

VIM. Palmer sold the old Dr.. Brat
tam ranch four and one-half miles north
west Of this city last Friday to S. P.
Madden Of Emporia. The ranch con-
tains 600 acres and sold for $4,000.
Mr.. Madden and two Of his sons-iin-
law will move here and take possession
OF the ranch January l. 1909. They
are intimate friends Of w. w. Totten
who came here from Emporia last spring
and reside on the former Strong ranch a
few miles northeast of town. Barber
county is very fortunate In securing such
good people and the coming Of these
families is likely to open the way to Sc
cure more Of Lyon county's best people.
MIR. Palmer expects to go to Emporia
next week to figure with several other
parties in the hope Of selling them Barber
county lands.

Another Big Bank Failure.

The First National Bank of Fort
Scott, Kansas closed its doors last Friday
and is unable at this time to pay over
Is per cent Of its deposits. Grant
Homaday, the big republican politician
who has been trying to become govern
or tor many years, is president Of this
bank and owns or controls the majority
Of the stock. Homaday is a politician
Of the old school. He was one Of the
bitterest enemies Of guaranty deposit
law in the campaign. He is another Of
the fellows who was opposed to being
held responsible for some other banks
poor business methods, and it now turns
out that he wasn't overly particular
about being responsible for good bank
ing himself.
This bank has been in business since
1870. Had there been law compel
ling it to pay very small percentage of
the profits it has made loaning other
peoples money since that time, into a
security fund, it would now have saved
enough cash to save it and its depositors
from financial ruin. But a mans hind
sight is always better than his foresight
and Homaday can now see wherein he
was wrong in opposing a guaranty law,
from purely selfish viewpoint. He
may not even be honest enough to ad-
NIT it, but he is surely convinced never
the-less.
Hornaday's troubles started with the
panic year ago. At that time his de-
posts were $50, 900. butthey are now
less than half that amount. AS result
OF the failure. several large business firms
Of Fort Scott are ruined and other banks
in that community are affected. Our re-
publican friends who promised so many
good things in the event Of the election
Of Taft. Stubs and Bristow should again
arise and explain.

"Barkus is Wlllin'."

The Index thinks the county attorney
should subpoena the editor of the Kiowa
Journal to testify regarding the Illegal
sale Of intoxicating liquor at Medicine
Lodge just because the Journal stated
that the prohibitory law was being violat-
ed here. By the same token the rail-
roads should summon the Index to testi-
fy as to what it knows about running
the railroads it does so much talking
about. The chances are more than
even that the editor Of the Journal knows
more about what it talks about than the
Index does Of its subject Cresset.
Amen. The Index is anxious to be
honored with the said summons. We
will even go farther than that-we will
testify" without being served with a
summons. in fact our files for the past
two years is ample evidence that we
have been "testifying" very literally
without even waiting for an invitation.
And, while not at all vain, we here and
now make the modest claim that If the
railroads would take our advice the
people Of Medicine Lodge and Barber
county would be much better served
and the railroads themselves would
prosper more.
We also concede that the Journal
man may know all about the "jjoint" stu
alton in Medicine Lodge, and if so, we
re-assert that he is entitled to the privii-
lege Of teshfying. He need not even
wait until the new county attorney is In
stalled-he may appear before the
present county attorney and tell all he
knows. by the same token" either or
both Of the Cresset editors are entitled
to the same privilege. The Index stands
not only for free advice to the railroads,
but also for enforcement Of law and it
finds much reason for shouting a hearty
amen to the foregoing article conceived
in the fertile intellect Of the erudite
editor Of the Cresset. By all means let
there be light!

Still Inquisitive

The esteemed kiowa journal calls on
the Index to publish the enrolment Of
the kiowa and Medicine Lodge schools.
Certainly. we will.
The enrolment in the kiowa schools
at last official report made to the county
superintendent was 348. Medicine
Lodges enrolment is $50.
Kiowa has seven rooms in her school
building and employs eight teachers.
Medicine Lodge has eleven rooms and
employs ten teachers. kiowa's principal
holds an ordinary county professional
certificate while Medicine Lodges
principal holds a state life certificate
good in Kansas and Missouri, and an
A. M. degree
kiowas entire population a: returned
by the Kiowa enumerator last spring
was olO; Medicine Lodges was 1862.
kiowa precinct cast 368 votes at thi.
falls election. Medicine Lodge precinct
cast 496. Both towns are growing
rapidly and both will show an increase
in population next year.
If there is any other way in which
the Index can accommodate the Journal
i will gladly do so.

The KiOwa, Hardtner & Pacific r. R.

The promoters Of the Kiowa, Hardt-
ner& Pacific R. R. apparently are
meeting with good success on the wesi
end Of the proposed line. the people in
the vicinity Of Hardtner having already
subscribed about sixty thousand dollars
to the capital stock Of the Company. but
are not finding the expected response Of
good will and encouragement at Kowa
they expected.
The promoters Of the scheme are no,
discouraged at all and confidently expect
to raise the required amount to complete
the FIRST link Of railroad that will traverse
one Of the richest and from commercial
stssdpoint most valuable part Of country
west Of kiowa.
There appears to be strong under
current to divert the proposed line from
kiowa as its eastern terminus or connect
ing point with the Santa Fe and Mo.
Pacific main lines to some other point,
equally as advantageous to the fine
country west Of Hardner as this point,
but Of alarming consequences for the
future growth and commercial interest.
