Sanders VS.. BonneIl

Dispositions were taken in Pro-
bate Judge Garrison's court in this
city last Friday in a case highly
Favored, which is soon to be aired
IN the district court. of Alfalfa
county, Oklahoma. The princi-
pals are w. NJ. Sanders and s. P.
BonnelI of Cherokee, the latter
having formerly resided in this CITY
and county.
The trouble started over a wear
ago when Prof. Bonnell taught
school in the Sanders district and
boarded with Mr.. Sanders who has
an unmarried daughter and is quite
handsome. Mr.. Sanders saws lbut
Prof. Bcnnell denies it, that while
he (BonnelD boarded there he be-
came infatuated with his daughter
but his love was spurned, and that
he afterward circulated vile and
slanderouS and false stories reflect
ing on his daughters character.
Mr.. Sanderss first resentment
was to cause Prof. Bonnelrs arrest
on a charge of insanity with the
result that he was acquitted in
probate court. As soon as Prof.
Bonnell was declared sane Mr..
Sanders and his daughter sued him
tor slander and they ask Judgment
for $4,000.
The depositions taken here on
Friday were from H. A. Tedrow of
Mingona township, and ]. E. Lass
well and wife of Eagle township.
tending to prove the gossip of the
neighborhood in which Sanders
lives. These parties had visited
there and had heard about the par
ties and had talked more or less to
them. Each party conducted his
own examination of witnesses and
the testimony was reduced to type
written manuscript by c. D. Rack
ley.

An Insane Wowan

Sheriff Mathews was called bv
phone to the former Springer
ranch, now owned by ]. M. Grouse,
SIX miles south of this city Monday
night to take charge of a woman
whose actions indicated that she
was insane. He brought her to
town early yesterday morning and
now has her in custody.
The woman gives her name as
Mrs. Mary Kendall. She saws that
her husband was murdered near
Partridge in Reno county and that
her two children, boy and a girl.
were kidnapped and she wants the
people to help her find them.
The strange actions OF the wom-
an were first noticed at Kiowa on
Sunday but she did nothing at that
time to justify her apprehension.
When she stopped at the Grouse
ranch south of town Monday night,
however, the man in charge of the
ranch says she became wild and he
lost no time in getting the sheriff
there.
The woman was in town Sun
day afternoon and at that time a
small boy was seen with her. She
denies that the boy was with her
and refuses to talk about the boy
at all. 1t is feared that some harm
may have come to him at the hands
of the woman.
The Index has long letter from
Mrs. Kendall which was mailed at
Kiowa on Monday morning. The
letter clearly shows that the wom-
an is insane. She imagines that
her husband is dead, at times, and
at other times that he is being pur-
sued by FIVE armed men, and that
her children have been stolen and
will be murdered. The unfortun-
ate woman is very severely afflicted.

Good Words from a Neighbor

Editor Harding of the Attica In
dependent gives Medicine Lodge
and Barber county a nice send off :"
in his last weeks paper. He says:
SIN company with l. Hilton,
a. ]. and L. G. Jasper, the writer
took an auto trip to Medicine
Lodge on Monday. Passing
through Cottonwood and Sharon
Valleys, we were surprised to see
the corn looking so we'll; west Of
Sharon, particularly, the corn is
something immense. Another
thing we noticed over in Barber
county is that the roadways are all
moved, which adds greatly to the
appearance of the adjoining farms.
We spent several hours in the his
toric city of Medicine Lodge and
found new buildings going up on
every hand. A large garage is be-
ing built of cement blocks by
local firm. A large brick business
block is under construction, and
several very nice dwellings are 60
ing up. We noticed the distin-
guished Senator, Chester |. Long,
hobnobbing with the natives as
common as any old clodhopper.
We called at the Index office and
took a look at their new newspaper
folder. One of the editors was not
in, but Charley Painter, the other
editor and all around factotum of
the shop, did the honors and show
ed us around the shop. However,
we noticed that he seemed anxious
to get back to the case, so we did
mt bother him very long. We
won't say anything about how long
our auto was laid up for repairs in
the garage, but suffice it to say that
we arrived safely at home about
six o'clock, only about three hours
late. Altogether, we had very
enjoyable outing.

City Affairs

The mayor and council met in
regular session Monday night, all
present excepting Councilmen
Wadsworth and Rule.
The monthly bills amounting to
$7o3.46 were allowed.
Street crossings were ordered
across Main street from the mill to
the school yard corner and from
the mill on second avenue to R. H.
Clay's corner. Several others were
promised on side streets.
A proposition was submitted by
residents near Spring creek on
Washington avenue east to put in
a concrete bridge at that place
The property owners there, among
them ]. P. Thomas and g. ]. South
worth, offered to subscribe $62 to-
ward defraying the cost. The es-
timated cost of the bridge is be-
tween $Ioo and $12o. The mat
ter was referred to the streets and
alleys committee who will likely
recommend it favorably.
The corrals of the South Livery
Barn were designated as the city
pound until further orders and the
officer in charge of stray stock was
instructed to pursue stray cattle
and horses with diligence.
The matter of licensing draymen
was brought up and discussed and
it is likely that drays will be taxed
if it can be done legally.
