Bus Lines Consolidated

]. c. Aubley purchased Viii.
liams & McCracken's Bus and
Transfer effects and good will last
Thursday and is now sole owner,
proprietor and boss of the Omnibus
business in Medicine Lodge.
In this transaction, H. Tisdale,
who is the owner of the old bus
line which Mr.. Aubley has been
managing, is not interested. Mr.
Aubley, however, has the old bus
and barn leased and will operate
both of the lines for the present.
We are glad to see things assume
this shape. There is not room
here for two bus lines but it is q
paying business for one and that
one should be a home man. Mr.
Aubley is the right kind of a mar
and now that he is absolute ownel
and has a fine new outfit he is Ger
tain to do well.
He paid Williams & McCracker
$665, which is about $I85 advanc,
over the cost of putting in the nev
outfit.

In Western Kansas

The following story, told by
Congressman Victor Murdock of
Wichita, appeared in a Washing
ton paper a few days ago:
"Two drummers arrived in a
western town late at night and
found the only hotel full up
Even the billiard table was pre-
empted. The hotel clerk, wishing
to do the best he could, told his
would-be guests that the sexton
of the Methodist church had left
his key at the desk and, if they
would say nothing about it, he
would let them sleep in the church
on a pew cushion. They agreed
and were admitted to the sacred
edihce. About midnight the bell
in the church steeple was heard
ringing violently. The watchman
rushed up and, upon attempting to
get in at the door, was electrified
to hear the order: Bring two
Martini cocktails to pew I3.

Geo. L. Osborne Insane

Geo. L. Osborne, who several
years ago was assistant cashier of
The Citizens State Bank of this
city, was adjudged insane at
Wichita on Saturday. Concerning
the matter, the Beacon says:
"George L Osborne, a Green's
burg Kan, banker, was adjudged
insane by commission in the pro-
bate court this morning.
>"Osborne was brought to Wich-
ita some time ago, and placed in
a hospital here for treatment. He
became violent, and it was deemed
necessary to have him sent to a
state hospital for insane persons.
He is connected with a bank in
Greensburg, of which c. Q. Chand-
Ter of this city owns most of the
stock. His hallucination is that he
is possessed of great wealth and
that his mental and physical pow
ers are exceptionally strong. He
is 36 years old and married and
has two children"

District Court

Judge P. B. Gillett held short
session ofcourt in this city Friday
afternoon.
Alvis E. Dyer, who has been in
Jail the past month, charged with
stealing a gun, watch and a num-
Der of other articles from VIM.
Jarvis west of this city last spring,
pleaded guilty to grand larceny
and was sentenced indeterminately
to the state reformatory at Hutch
inson. He is about eighteen years
of age and so far as known, this
was his first offense. The young
man worked for Mr.. Jarvis a week
and also worked for others in the
neighborhood. He stole the goods
May 18th. Four days previous to
the theft, he quit Mr.. Jarvis's en-
pioyment and watched his oppor-
tunity and the opportunity present
ed itself one afternoon when Mr..
Jarvis went to town. While cir
cumstances pointed to his guilt,
there was not sufficient evidence
to cause his arrest until few
weeks ago when Sheriff Mathews
arrested him at the home of his
parents at Ringwood, Oklahoma,
and recovered nearly all of the
stolen property. The young mar
made complete confession wher
arrested, expressed regret for wf1at
he did and seemed anxious to be
gin serving time. Judge Gillett
gave him some very good advice
when he sentenced him, which, i
he follows it, will make him {
good citizen when he shall have
been released from prison.

In Loving Memory

Little Blanche Esther Luthy was
born June 20, 1909, died December
5th, 1909, aged 5 months and 5
days. She was taken sick about
a month before her death, with
something like Group and then the
fever set in and other troubles COM
bined which seemed to battle the
skill of physicians. All was done
for her that loving hearts and will
ing hands could do, but to no avail,
so the death angel came and re-
lieved her of suffering Sunday
morning at about 10 o'clock. She
was the youngest child of Brother
and Sister w. Luthy of Sharon
whom we all love as faithful fol-
lowers of Jesus Christ. She leaves
to mourn her departure a true
father, loving mother, one brother
and two sisters and host of other
relatives. The writer conducted
short funeral service at the
Christian church at 10 a. m. Mon.
day, December 9th, in the presence
of a large assembly, considering the
snow storm that was raging dur
ing the service. Interment was in
the Sharon cemetery. We say to
the bereaved ones, escrow not as
others who have no hope, for if we
believe Jesus died and rose again
those who sleep in Jesus will Goo
bring with him." What a conso
lation that Our loved ones will
come with Jesus to meet us in tht

ing social calls in the city yester-

The Index always endeavors to
keep aloof from misstating news,
even in small detail, but in rare
cases when second parties are de-
pended upon for information, some
of the minor facts become distort-
ed. We deplore this, not only on
our own account, but when an error
of this kind creeps in, it invariably
appears in other papers published
later, and this phase adds to our
discomfort and makes us doubly
penitent.
