had disposed of his property in
Stanton county, and in company
wIth his wife and son We're leav-

l.. Grantham, who was accom-
panied by sheriff Carrithers, of
Stanton county, pursued the par

ton of judgment. Vanderbur
was overtaken just over the
Kansas line where they had
canpeG for the night, and as he
saw the sheriff and his creditor
approaching, armed himself with
a shotgun and as soon as the
party came within range opened
lire With the result that Grantham
received charge Of shot in the

Big Price
For Broom Corn

W. j. MCGOWAN, living near

per ton for this years crop. The
growers in this county should or
ganize a local association. This
would enable them to keep tab
on the market, and to get a
more uniform price for then

ceive 25 to $50 less per ton than
