Dick Collins is carrying his arm in
a sling these days. the result Of fall the
first Of last week while doing some car
penter work on J.. C. Clayton's porch.
In coming off the roof, he stepped on a
step-ladder, the ladder toppled over and
Dick went down "kershIam." Aside
from badly sprained wrist, he sustained
a severely bruised face and he had ev-
cry appearance Of having emerged from
a cyclone or tornado. The sprain is al
most equivalent to broken arm so far
as the present effect goes.
Sheriff Mathews was called to Kiiowa
last Wednesday morning to get young
man by the name Of Earl West (no re-
lation to BOT" West.the escaped prison.
er from Hazelton) who is charged with
attempting to beat a board bill. Mrs.
Katie Meador is the complainant. She
claims that West and another man engag-
ed board at her house. claiming to be
"spotters" in the employment Of organi-
cations having in charge the enforcement
Of the prohibitory liquor law. Tuesday
morning Vests companion departed
withou. paying his bill and she said that
she had learned that West was making
arrangements to leave Wednesday night.
She procured a warrant in Justice Bu-
chanan's court and West was arrested.
His bond was fixed at 500 and he
failed to find bondsmen, hence he was
committed to Jail where he is now await
ing a preliminary examination. which
will be held before Justice Buchanan at
kiowa on Friday. March 18th. West
denies very strongly that he intended to
leave. We do not know what evidence
there is against him. but if he IS guilty he
deserves punishment. A man who
would beat the hands that feed him is
very low in the scale Of humanity. We
hope. however. that West Is not guilty.

The night rider" case from Stevens

United States court at Wichita last week
when FIVE Of the defendants agreed to
turn states evidence in the case. This
left no alternative to the other three but
to plead guilty, which they did. and they
were fined nominally. and the costs
amounting to about $1,000. were as
sessed against them which is severe pun
ishment. By the time everything is squar-

August Schmidt has concluded to gel
into politics in a small way again. He
filed petition last week asking for the
nomination on the republican ticket for
trustee Of Medicine Lodge township,
which he will likely receive without op-
position. and as the township is republi-
can by about IS it would seem that his
chances for election are not poor. The
Index has always guarded against throw
ing roses at republican candidates but it
will venture to say that MIR. Schmidt is
better man for this Office than the re-
pubEcans have been in the habit of ofer-
ing. The fact is, we have always be-
heved that Gus has always been dem
ocrat at heart. There was time when
he was one Of the democratic leaders Of
the county and he ought to be one yet.

THIS IS WORTH KNOWING

Here is a recipe which is worth
knowing. This summer when you
have a surplus of cucumbers or
when they are cheap, lay down a
half bushel or so for the winter
and you will have cucumbers all
winter nearly as good as those
picked frech from the vines. Pear
the cucumbers and slice them up
the same as you would for table use.
In a good sized crock put first q
layer of salt an inch or so in
thickness, and then a layer of
cucumbers, and continue this until
the crock is filled or until you have
as many put down as you think you
need. Do not put in any water as
the cucumbers will make their own
brine. When you want to use some
of the cucumbers for the table or
salads, take out the required amount
and freshen for two or three hours.
The writer put down a crockful in
this way last fall and used the last
of them last week. Exchange.

A GAME OF BALL

Nothing has set America so high
in the estimation of foreign nations,
says Ellis Parker Butler in Success
Magazine, as the adoption of base
ball IS the national sport. If a
foreign spy wanders into America
seeking to fathom our real inward
ness and sees a game OF baseball
any feeling of contempt for our
newness gives way instantly to
a awetruck admiration. At his first
glance baseball is to him a mystery,
and it remains a mystery to him.
He sees 10000 men and women
suffering the tortures of the lower
regions or hot grand stands. He
sees a ma pick up a small white
ball rs hard as a pine knot. Facing
him is another who holds a smooth
but deadly club in his hands.
Behind this second man is a third
man whose face is hidden by a
birdcage. Suddenly the man with
the ball raises one foot in the air
and shows the man with the bat
the sole of his shoe. The mar at
the bat see that there are spikes IN
he sole of the shoe, and it Anglers
him, and he raises his bat to throw
it at the man with the ball. But
all, hal the mar with the ball is
too quick for him. He throws the
hard, white ball at theman with the
bat with all his strength. The man
with the bat waves defiance by
swinging the bat in the air. The
ball proceeds. The batsman never
finches! Will the ball kill the man
or will the impact crush the bail?
But, see! The ball is panic stricken;
the ball lodges around the man;
the ball is lost, buried in the huge
leather chair cushion that covers
the hand of the birdcage mar behind
the batsman! Strike one" says
the umpire. Thirty thousand
cheers! Why?

NOTE THE DIFFERENCE

The ledger of a Niagara county,
New York, business man. used in
conducting a general merchandise
business in 1864, is interesting.
The high rates for goods recorded
there appear enormous even in days
of high prices. For instance,
kerosene oil was S1.O0 per gallon;
tea, $3.50 to $3.50 per pound, three
pounds of sugar brought $l.OO; a
barrel of -four, $40; butter, 55
cents per pound; calico 65 cents a
yard; apples, $3.50 per barrel;
coffee, $1.00 per pound; beef by
the carcass, l8 cents per pound:
molasses, S1.65 per gallon;
nails, 10 cents per pound; thread,
20 cents per spool; salt, 6 cents per
quart: cotton Irvine, 40 cents per
ball; cotton cloth, rs cents per yard.
Many other things might be
mentioned in the same proportion,
but the above is enough to recall
the var values to older readers and
open the eyes of the younger ones.

FLAG DAY PROCLAMATION

Acting Governor Pyne has issued
the following proclamation for the
observance of Flag Day:
In observance of Flag Day our
people should remember that it is
not simply the colored cloth we
reverence. but the things for which
it stands and for which it is but a
symbol. Tradition says that the
color white represents the nov of
winter at Valley Forge, the red the
blood of the soldiers of Washington
and the blue fields and stars the
armament of heaven, the canopy
under which they slept. If we
and Jul posterity will ever keep in
mind, when gazing upon the beauti-
full emblem of our country, the
heroic battles of the forcfathers of
the republic to create and preserve
this government, il will inspire us
and those who come after to con-
tinue the battle of liberty and
equal rights and thereby show that
we are worthy successors of the
patriots of 1916 who sacrificed so
much that we might enjoy the
blessings which have been bestowed
upon us through their efforts.
Accordingly | would urge upon
all citizens of Nevada to display
the Flag on

structed us to build a good one.
If we did not intend to build a

what would be the use of building
any?
The cells and locking device that
we have accepted is of Il standard
make and of the kind that we know
will be satisfactory to all concerned.
They have been installed in the

is practically the same here as paid

I'VE visited the prison here one

Captain of the Guard explain to us
the working of the locking device

that it was not satisfactory. 1t
takes about two days in every week
to keep the locking device in shape
so that it can be used at all and il
has been known that the prisoners
were kept in their cells for three
hours at a time owing to the fact
that the locking device would not
work and the men could not be
released. Should there be a fire
