this year.
There is a ready market for all the

the caviar is made Of the eggs of sal
mon and sturgeon. Tie eggs from the

you so cents. The foreigners living In

prices. 1t is largely to supply this trade
that the industry has been established

In the past the eggs of the salmon
canned on the sound have been thrown
into the fertilizer scows. Now thew are
carefully sorted and put through prep

The Marshal as a Sprinter

If there are any boys and young
men in the town who are engaged
in sowing wild oats,and have an
impression that City Marshal Stew.
ems is not feet footed, that impress
sion can quickly be dispelled by
listening to this story taken from
an actual recent happening. To
pro ,erly introduce the story: The
Index has on exhibition this week
pair OF nicely polished horns.
These horns, were taken from the
head of a heifer recently sold to
VIM. Martin, the butcher, by Mr..
Stevens. The heifer had the Mar
shall completely "buffaloed" and
he got rid of her as soon as she was
in a marketable condition, after a
certain episode.
Now to the story: Along in the
winter the heifer got down and
couldn't get up. Harry and his
helper, "Dutch" Watkins, went out
and tailed her up" and the mo-
ment the brute got her bearings
she turned right about,face and
made for the proprietor of the
ranch. She chased him for a quar-
ter of a mile, the horns at everv
jump grazing his coat tail and pan
falcons and the only thing that
saved him was a frozen pond of
water which he finally reached and
the heifer slipped and fell. 1t is
told that Harry was as pale as
death at the end of the race and
after he regained his breath, he ex-
claimed, "Say, Dutch, that was
close, wasn't it," And he had rea.
son to be scared. These horns are
the sharpest we have ever seen, and
but for the icy resort Harry would
never have qualified as city mar
shall. He is trying all manner of
schemes to get these horns as a
souvenir but Mr.. Martin won't give
them up.
Boys, beware, it has been
demonstrated that the marshal
can run.

Premium Wheat

G. w. Osborn of Mingona town.
ship was awarded tenth prize in
the Wichita Eagles wheat contest,
at the Wichita fair last week.
Twelve prizes were given. The
first prize of $500 was awarded to
a Kingman county farmer. The
5000 bushel was ground and the
-four baked into a huge loaf of
bread and sent to President Taft.
We would liked to have seen Mr..
Osborn get first prize, of course,
but it is a great satisfaction to
Barber county that he got "inside
the money" anyway. His prize was
$5.
Mr.. Osborn's daughters selected
and prepared the wheat for exhibi-
tion and they did we'll. The coun-
ties against which Mr.. Osborn
competed were more fortunate in
the matter of spring moisture and,
this considered, he is entitled to
more praise and credit than he
would under normal conditions.

To Enforce Anti-Tobacco Law

At the meeting of the Methodist
Brotherhood next Sunday after
noon the question of the enforce.
ment of the law prohibiting minors
from smoking on streets and in pub
lie places, and prohibiting dealers
from selling tobacco to minors, will
be discussed. Mayor Skinner, the
members of the city council, City
Attorney Tincher, County Attorney
Field, Representative Griffin and
D. w. Major, Superintendent of the
High School, have all promised to
talk on the subject.
The Index would be pleased to
see this law enforced. 1t has con-
tended, in the first place, that such
law should be enacted, and, sec
ondarily that itcan not be enforced
too rigidly. 1t is too we'll establish
ed to admit of argument, that more
boys go to rum morally and ply
sically, and blight their manhood
through the cigarette and its twin
evil, than through all other vices
combined.
The tobacco habit is especially
deleterious to students in school
and on this account alone the law
should be enforced.

The Horse Suit-At Last

The suit of II. c. and r. c. AL
exander VS.. VIM. Fuller involving
balky horse was finally pulled off
before Justice D. +. Tedrow on
Monday, and the trial extended in
to Tuesday and occupied the great
er part of that day. A jury
was called, composed of R J. Tai
iaferro, J G. Clayton, Arthur Kritz
mire, Eugene Quertermous, Wm.
Twombley and Frank Stewart.
The greater part of Monday after
noon was consumed in ironing out
legal propositions, S. S Alexander
of Kingman representing the plain
tiffs and J. N. rincher representing
the defendant.
The plaintiffs sued to recover
$40, the cost of the horse, plus a
reasonable amount for keeping it
from the time they purchased it
from Mr.. Fuller. They alleged
that the horse was sold to them
under a guaranty that it was a
good worker, but on the hrSt trial
it proved to be balky. The de-
fendant claimed that the horse was
a good puller and that if it baked,
it did so on account of bad treat
ment received at the hands of the
plaintiffs.
The case went to the jury short
ly before noon and they began de-
liberating Immediately after lunch
The jury was still out when the
forms wele closed
An appeal to the district court
will be taken, which was practi-
cally announced in the outset, re-
gardlesS of what the verdict might
be.
