J. F. Trice has Recovered

IF Trice, whose critical con-
dition was noted last week, has
recovered beyond the most opti-
mistic hopes of his friends and will
be home from the hospital the lat
ter part of this week if nothing de-
velops to retard his progress. He
left the hospital on Friday and took
room at the Carey hotel, but on
Saturday he returned to the hos.
pital upon advice of friends to
continue taking treatment.
The principal cause of his troub-
lie was a wrenched side affecting
one of the kidneys. The injury on
the head did not terminate at all
seriously.
Mr.. Trice's friends are gratihed
to learn that he recovered so soon
First reports were very discourag.

Stole $1,000

Will Iford who works in H. H.
McCov's restaurant, was relieved
of $76 in bills and silver Friday
night. Just before closing up he
took the cash out of the money
drawer and put it in his pocket,
Mr.. Mccoy not being in town.
He has a room at the Central ho-
tel, and soon after locking up re-
tired. His room is on the lower
floor leading to the porch. When
he awoke Saturday morning his
trousers were gone but were soon
found on the porch, minus the mon.
ey. Mr.. Iford slept soundly and
did not hear the thief when he en-
tered his room.
No arrest has yet been made but
the case is receiving official atten-
ton. The party who stole the
money evidently saw Mr.. lford take
charge of it before closing up.

Still at it

We would like to bet Clayt Herr
a good Stetson hat, said hat to be
purchased in Kiowa, that Kiowa
is larger than Medicine Lodge bv
over two hundred. We are max
ing the difference small, because
we need the hat badly. Our asses
scr only totaled up 1,54I, while
the county assessor in going over
the totals, found some discrepan-
cies, and they have made it !. 1.557.
What does the Barber county An
anias think of that proposition? p
Kiowa Journal.
CalledI Send US "said hat" bv
next express. Not larger than No.
7, can wear a smaller one. Don't
send US your old one, it would be
much too large for US. To prove
that we have woa the bet, we need
only refer the Journal to the sta
tistical abstract of Barber county
which is open to public inspection
and which is the only competent
authority on the subject. If this
record shows Kiowa's, population
more than 1855, we'll forfeit the
price of the hat. If not satisfied
with that, write Secretary Coburn,
Topeka, Kansas, and get his figures
for it. IF additional information is
desired, the Journal editor might
find it profitable to run up any
morning and look over the tax
rolls. He will be amazed to learn
that there are 81 more Medicine
Lodge people than Kiowa people
on the personal property tax rolls.
lf.that doesn't satisfy his appetite
for wisdom he may delve farther
into the official records and he will
find that there are 20 more families
residing in Medicine Lodge than
there are residing IN Kiowa, ac-
cording to exemptions recorded in
each town. What does the KioaCa
Fumosity think Of that proposition?

Arrested For EmbezzIement

Geo. Scates, foreman of an extra
gang that has been doing work on
the Santa Fe between Attica and
Belvidere the past several months.
was arrested last Thursday on COM
plant of L. D. Walters, the com.
pany's secret service man, on a
charge of embezzlement. The in
fo,n-~ticf- contains Gvs counts and
$35 is the total amount of the al
legged embezzlement. Scates gave
bond in the sum of $3.50, for his
appearance for trial at the October
term of the district court. The in
formation was filed by County At
torner Field.
The specific charges in the case
are that Scates paid certain en-
ployes more money due them, re-
quiring them to return the excess
to him on representation that the
money so returned was to be used
IN paying certain small obligations,
and that on another occasion he
solicited aid from men working
under him, for Mr.. Keller who lost
his horses in the fire at Lake City a
few months ago, that 10 employees
turned over $1.25 each and that he
appropriated theimoney to his own
use, and also that his gang buried
the horses killed in the fire, he
drawing pay from Lake City and
also allowing the time of the en-
ployes to be paid for by the COM
pany.
The charges are serious and, if
established, would constitute a
penitentiary offense. Mr.. Scates
has not yet employed counsel.

A. j. Modlin's Case Affirmed.

On the 18th of this month the
Supreme Gourt of Nebraska hand
ed down an opinion affirming a
Judgment rendered in the District
Court at Hastings, Nebraska, in
favor of A. ]. Modlin in the sum of
100000.
Mr.. Modlin used to live in this
county when a young man, and
worked for several persons in the
vicinity of Kiowa. During the
campaign of 1902, he met Mr.. Sam
uel Griffin of this place, while at
Kiowa, but afterward drifted up to
Hastings where he worked for a
number of years.
In June 1906, while waiting for
harvest to open up, he sought en-
ployment in wholesale hardware
house, in which was located a
freight elevator. He commenced
work about 10 o'clock on June 5th,
and while assisting in storing away
some wagons, by carrying them to
the upper story, distance of
about 90 feet, on the afternoon of
the same day, the elevator refused
to stop when the proper ropes and
brakes were applied thereto, as it
reached the top floor, and it was
carried by the electric power into
the machinery at the top of the
shaft, when it gave way and pre-
cipitated him and his companion
to the bottom of the shaft. Mr.
Modlin was paralyzed from his hips
down and was injured for life, and
Law for a number of months in
critical condition. As soon as he
was able he sent for Mr.. Griffin,
which resulted in the brining of
the suit and the recovery of judg-
ment in the sum of $5ooo.oo, as
above stated. Mr.. Griffin informs
us that when an appeal is taken in
the state of Nebraska, the party
appealing has to put up bond in
double the amount of the Judg-
ment, which was done in this case,
so that there is no question about
the recovery of this amount.
Mr.. Modlin lives at Moreland,
Oklahoma, and is not only in very
poor health, but is almost destitute,
and the above good. news will be
glad news indeed. Mr.. Griffin put
up the money to carry on the liti-
CATION, and we are glad that he
has won, not only because it would
have been great loss to him, but
a greater one to Mr.. Modlin, who
should be compensated for his in
! juries.

In Memory

In memory
Halle Lenore Newton was born
January 6th, 1854, at Coal Run,
Washington County, Ohio. When
two years old her parents moved
to the state of Kansas and in the
year 1891 came to Oklahoma and
took up claim northwest of Cleo
where they have since resided.
She was married to Isaac n. Roach
at Houston, Texas, September 18th,
1907. Died May p, 1909, and
was buried IN Hollywood cemetery
at Houston, Texas. Funeral SER
vices were conducted by Rev. R.
w. Story from the home at 1907
Hardy street.
Halle Newton grew up in this
community and is remembered as
a bright, lovable girl. She was
! quick to learn, OF a sunny disposi-
tion, and made friends and retained
them wherever she went. During
the years 1899, 1900 and 1901 she
attended the Normal School at
Alva with her brother Clark and
always stood at the head of her
classes. She taught school for two
or three terms in this county and
then accepted a position with a
St. Louis wholesale house, where
she remained until she was mar
ried.
The telegram announcing the
death of Halle Newton was a
great shock to this community.
Only few days before her mar
rage, in the month of September,
1907, she came through here to
make her parents a visit. The in
tervening years since her last visit
had added to her beauty, grace and
charm and she presented the very
picture of feminine loveliness; now
all sis hidden and lost in the depths
Of the grave" In the bloom of
young womanhood, surrounded by
every comfort, with every attention
lavished upon her by a devoted
husband, she was summoned to
the Great Beyond.
Halle was a favorite with her
parents and her death comes with
crushing effect upon that father and
mother who have already had more
sorrows than are common.
Our deepest sympathy is extend.
ed to this bereaved family, hus-
band, father, mother, brothers and
sisters.-Cleo Chieftain.
The above obituary notice was
sent The Index by Ida L. Newton
who now lives at Cleo, Oklahoma,
with request that it be published.
Mrs. Newton will be remembered
as the mother of Clark and Morris
Newton who were convicted in
| 1904 in this county for numbering
Patrick King, and are now serving
a life sentence in the Kansas peni-
tentiary. Her daughter, whose
death is noted in this article, was
quite we'll known here, as we'll as
the mother, and she was loved and
esteemed very highly.
Mrs. Newton's letter reveals a
heartbroken mother, and one can
not read it without feeling a SYM
pathy that stirs the emotions to
their deepest depths, for her in her
several Affections.
There is no suffering so intense
as mental anguish and none so slow
to heal. Let us hope that some
mystic, unseen power will come to
this poor, sad, pale little woman
in her great burden of heart and
mind

Equalization Meeting

The board of equalization com
pleted its labors last Wednesday,
also disposing of few misceIlan-
eous matters as a board of com
missioners before adjournment.
There were numerous small al
terations in assessments through
out the county, but excepting in a
few cases, 10 large increases or de-
creases in valuations were made.
In Lake City and Hazelton
townships the assessments Of stock
cattle did not average with the
other townships, Lake City being
high and Hazelton low. The
board reduced the former 20 per
cent and raised the latter 20 per
cent, which equalized them. The
order does not affect fat cattle.
A personal valuation Of $4,000
assessed to II. w. Skinner was
transferred from Medicine Lodge TO
Lake City township. The valu-
alton relates to cattle which were
brought from Lake City January
Ist, fulfilled here and shipped to
market from this point, Mr., Skin
ner residing here.
A new question was raised in an
exceptional case. Col. MacGreg-
or of this city sold his farm under
a contract but declined to list the
money price for taxation. Assess
or Stout listed it and Col. Mac
Gregor protested before the board.
The matter has been submitted to
the state tax commission and the
board will be governed by the
commissions decision.
The merchants stocks in the
different cities Of the county, as adj
justed by the board and county as
SCISSOR, are valued as follows.
These figures do not include mon
ey, fixtures and individual property,
which in some cases, are listed with
the stocks:
