1867 the construction OF the end Of the
track got into the great buffalo cOun-
try, and at that time the lndians-thc
Sioux, Cheyennes. Comanches and Arap-
ahoes-were all on the warpath It
was before the refrigerator car was In
use. and the contractors had no fresh
meat to feed their employees. The
men were grumbling considerably for
fresh meat. for they could see fresh
meat-that Is. the buffalo. deer and an
telope-in every direction, and they
would growl because the contractors
did not kill the buffaloes 80 that they
could have fresh meat to eat This
was a little more difficult job than
they thought, as the Indians were con
testing every mile OF railroad that was
being built into their country. Besides
having. military escorts to guard the
graders. every man from the boss
down who went to work on the grad
ing Of the road carried n rifle with him
MS well as a pick and shovel, and when
he was using them his gun lay on the
ground near him. as the Indians would
daily attack them.
The construction Of that road IN
1867 was nearly continuous fight,
and 1t was dangerous for a man to
venture any distance away from the
troops and the graders to hunt the
buffalo. They tried several hunters
who claimed that they could kill buff
falo and bring 1t into camp SO that
they could have fresh meat for their
men. One or two Of these men were
killed by Indians while doing so. and
the others gave up the job.
At that time | was guide and scout
at Fort Hays, Kan. and had quite a
reputation as buffalo hunter. Some
one told the main contractor that If he
could get me would be able to kill all
the buffaloes he would require. He
came to Fort Hays to see me. OF
course ! could not accept. although he
made me very tempting financial

The subject was even discussed at
headquarters in Washington, and after
considerable delay evidence was pre-
scented that 1t would solve one Of the
main labor problems in the great work
Of constructing the great transconti-
mental railroad and facilitate matters
greatly. Leave Of absence for the
purpose was given me with the un-

Rocf's Grand Spring Opening.


On the front page of this issue Mr..
w. P. Roof announces that he will
hold his grand spring opening on Mon
day and Tuesday, April 5th and 9Th.
This promises to outclass all previous
efforts in the history of the Roof
store.
Miss Brown, the attractive and
charming little head of the millinery
department, arrived from Baltimore
ion Sunday and is now busily engaged
n arranging her department for the
opening days. Miss Brown needs no
introduction to the people of Lexing-
ton. For four seasons past she has
had charge of the millinery depart
ment at Roofs, during which she has
designed thousands of hats for the
women of this section.
The dress goods department is filled
to overfowing with all the seasons
newest and best. Every lady in the
county should see the new dress goods
at Roofs.
You will find everything to supply
your wants at W. P. Roofs and it is
hardly necessary for us to say that
the prices will please you-that goes
without saying.

destructive fire to visit Brookland in
the last four years came very near de-
vastating the entire town last night.
The blaze started at II: 80 and contin-
ued for nearly two hours, entirely de-

eral others. The total loss may reach
$40, 1000 although it is probably slight
ly under this figure.
The fire was discovered abont 11:30
O'Clock when house formerly occu-
pied by Brooks Lybrand near the end
of Meeting street was found to be in
flames. The fire then continued
straight up the street, entirely de-
stroying houses occupied by Charles

Simeon Lucas and Cleveland Jeifcoat.
Four of the houses were the property
of A. D. Shull while two were owned
by E. w. Shull.

ROBBERS GOT
BIG SURPRISE
Mr. F. B. Harman, Their Intended
Victim, Showed Fight Instead of
Submitting.

The victims ofhighway robbery con-
sistently and regularly adopted the
tactics of Mr.. F. B. Harmon, the shoe
man, employed late Saturday night
when he was attacked near the north
ern limits of the city, there would be
quick end of this crime in this city
although when one recalls the tragic
end of Mr.. Charles Green, who was
shot to death at Shandon few years
ago, the highwayman dying at Green's
hands, he is not encouraged to follow
in the footsteps of Mr.. Harman, but
rather to dispose of the matter as
Judge Ernest Gary and many others
have done, by letting the goods go.
Mr.. Harman, who had boarded q
1O:4O p. m. car going out to his home,
was attacked near Newman's cut, just
after he had left the car with his little
boy. Two white men in oyeralls STEP
ped in front of him and demanded
that he throw up his hands. Mr.. Har-
man, however, showed fight right
away. and grappied with one of the
men. The other either fired at him
and missed him on account of the
dark, or fired to frighten his victim.
The little boy, who mas a good voice,
set up a call for help, which fright
ened the men away before they got
any loot.
AS soon as he got home, Mr.. Har-
man notified the authorities, but al
though good dogs were rushed to the
scene, no valuable clue has yet been
discovered as to who the men we're
