One of D. NJ. Circles teams was
drowned in the Medicine river
northwest of the city Wednesday
afternoon. One of Circles men
was hauling feed from the west
side of the river to the ranch on the
other side. The lead team was a
span of big fine mares, the wheelers
span of big mules. While attempt,
ing to cross, the team was swept

Disposed of Mortgaged Property

Edward Rose, son of w. F. Rose,
proprietor of the Sunhower ranch
at Elm Mills, was arrested last
Wednesday on complaint of The
Isabel State Bank, charged with
selling a span of mules on which
the bank held a mortgage. Mr.
Rose gave bond for his appearance
for preliminary trial before Justice
Collins January 24th. He was sick
at the time of his arrest and for
that reason the trial was set for the
24th. The bank alleges that the
mules were sold to Mr.. Blanken.

nature Of the defense. We do not
know whether the defendent ad.

for defense is said to be that the

therefore invalid.

The best part of it all is, that the

to the undertaking of another, still
greater. And if they undertake
this task, as they evidently will

A Story About a "Piker"

1t is with blushing sense of
humiliation that we learn of a fall
from gallant1y that took place in
our famous little city one day last
week, and what makes it the more
intolerable is the fact that the
handsome Adonis in the case failed
to redeem a promise made to a
young lady in unquestionable good
faith. Briefly stated, the story is
this: The discredited hero in the
case made an agreement or wager
with the lady, the nature of which
is unimportant and immaterial, by
the terms of which he was to take
her to Anthony on the nth, to at
tend "The Lion and the Mouse
The young lady prepared for the
trip, but as train time neared her
expected escort did not appear, and
as last resort at the last minute
IN the last hour, she sent the bus
to the young mans place of busi-
ness, paying the usual fare in ad-
vance, only to learn, after it was
too late to get to the depot before
train time, that her supposed escoFt,
had chit the grit" backed down,
as it were, and donned the "piker's"
regalia.
We do not know how public it is.
We trust that the erring ones iden-
tity may never be known. Indeed
we should feel abashed if it were,
for it strikes dreadfully close to the
fraternity.

A Kansas Heiress Elopes

Sawyer, Kas., Jan. 13.-Bertha
Rose, the 17-year- old daughter of
w. F: Rose, the wealthy owner of
the big Sunfower Ranch, eloped
yesterday with John Kellem, a farm
hand, and they are now believed to
have crossed the line into Oklaho-
ma and to have been married.
The last heard of the couple was
when they passed through Medicine
Lodge, twenty-tw miles from here,
last night, headed for Oklahoma.
Kellem's father was killed twenty
years ago by a young husband who
charged that he had broken up his
home, and since Mr.. Rose learned
of the acquaintance of his daughter
and the young man, Kellem was
not allowed on the ranch.
| Mr.. Rose left Tuesday for Rice
County to be gone several days,
and Herbert Rose, the girls brother,
was away on a distant part of the
ranch Shortly after noon yester.
day, Miss Rose told her mother she
was going to take a bath. She
did not return in an hour, and the
mother went to the bathroom and
found she had not been there.
When the brother returned he start
ed on search for the girl and
found that she and Kellem had
driven away from town with liv-
cry horse and buggy.-Kansas City

Ford Motor Company in its New
Plant

The last day of December, 1909,
saw ffty-f1ve cars manufactured in
the old and outgrown plant of the
Ford Motor Company-the first
day of 1910 saw sixty cars shipped
from the new Ford plant, at High
land Park. The change was made
quickly and quietly, without a
brass band, clam bake or a ball,
but nevertheless it was thoroughly
done and the various departments
are already settled down to regu-
lar routine.
The old factory on Piquette Av-
enue will be used as a parts facto-
ry, tool room and pattern shop.
The present capacity Of the new
plant is two hundred complete
automobiles per day. In addition
to the assembly plant, a 75x862
four story concrete and glass
building, there is a machine shop
84oXI4o, one story; a shop Office
building 75xI4o, four story; pow
er house and a 5000 II. +. gas pro-
duCer plant already built. A
foundry 2oox2oo is to be started
at once and a three-story 1oox3oo
office building will be built in the
spring. Other buildings being
planned will soon cover the entire
sixty acre tract, which the Ford
Company owns at Highland Park.

C. G. Bell of Tonkawa, Oklaho.
ma, father of Miss Annie E. Bell,
principal of our High School, visit
ed with his daughter in the city
from Saturday afternoon until
Monday afternoon. Mr.. Bell had
business to dispose of not far from
here and concluded to extend the
trip and come to the city for
short visit. He operates a large
ranch at Tonkawa and for many
years has handled stock and ranch
es in southern Kansas and northern
Oklahoma. He travelled through
Medicine Lodge in 1876 but had
never seen the town since until this
trip. At that time there was little
or no town. here and even the sur.
rounding country has no appear
ance of being the same place-that
it was. then, so that it may we'll be
said to be his first visit to the real
town of Medicine Lodge. Mr.. Bell
is we'll acquainted with many of
the stockmen of Kiowa and has
had extensive business relations
with them.
Our hopes for a great political
future for the Hon. J. Napoleon
Tincher of this city are on the wane.
He has answered Tom McNeal's
questions concerning the recent tar
if law and in his answers takes oc.
casion to say that Cannon and Al
drich and their maneuvers suit him
to a dot, We are panied that he
should take this horn of the dilem.
ma. 1t means that he has put him
self down and out politically, for
the per cent of Kansas people
who endorse Cannonism and AL
drichism and prohibitive tariffs and
the other stand-pat trimmings is
inhnitesimally small, and even
within the republican ranks, espe.
cially in the west, the Cannon Al
drich idea is without a respectable
following. We are sorry that ]. N,
with about a bakers dozen of other
local republican leaders, can not
speak the "Kansas Language and
seemingly has no desire to learn it.
We desire again to warn the breth-
rem that to be compelled to make
a rush for the big wagon after all
the seats are taken is both humili-
ating and irksome.
