Want Public Water Trough

Within the past month farmers
have complained to The Index
about the inconvenience in water
ing their teams when they come to
town. Since the watering trough
has been abandoned, farmers who
desire to water their teams must
either unhitch and take their horses
to livery barn or drive to a pri-
vate we'll and borrow buckets.
Neighboring towns have public
watering troughs and it makes a
difference in trade. A farmer told
us on Saturday that he is doing
most of his trading in another
town on this account, although he
is closer to Medicine Lodge.
The business men of Medicine
Lodge cannot afford to let the
trade that belongs here 60 to other
towns, and the city owes it to the
business men to cooperate with
them in an effort to make things
as convenient as possible for the
people who come to the city to do
business.

Lois Lyle were married at the
home of the grooms parents, DR..
D. E. Tedrow and wife, in this

The Cost of Using a Ford

L. S. Duckworth, of Wichita,
Kansas, bought a eight weight"
Ford two years ago last January.
The first twelve months he drove
his car 421o miles at cost of
$o1.68 for gasoline, oil and total
repairs. Second twelve months,
total expense was $86.o6 for 5000
miles, this includes one new casing.
Three of the original tires are still
on the car. So far Mr.. Duckworth
has spent on his car I 6-1o cents
per mile, including gasoline and oil.
Under date of December 2, 1000
H. P. Long, Potwin, Kansas, who
bought one of the first Model T
Fords shipped to Kansas, says:
"Have driven my car 5000 miles.
My repair bill to date is IS cents
and l have never had a puncture.
Our roads are mostly 'gumbo and
very rough"
VIM. Baker, of Pratt, Kansas,
has driven his Model T Ford car
more than 10000 miles. His rear
tires are in good condition yet and
the front ones still in use.
DR.. n. M. Putnam owns the first
four.cylinder Ford ever seen in
Wichita, and DR.. E. F. Hoover
probably has the second one ever
sold in Kansas. The owners of
these light Fords ought to be the
best authority on Ford cars in the
state. Ask them if they are too
light.
There are dozens of tourists
who spend the summer touring in
Ford cars.
If they are good enough for ev.
cry occasion and every place, why
not save several hundred dollars
on the purchase and buy a Ford
Touring Car at $1,000 delivered?

Light Plant in Motion

The first town service by the
electric light company of the city
was given last Wednesday night.
The Grand Hotel and several res.
idences were lighted and it will be
only short time until all houses
that are wired will be connected.
The Company experienced the
same difficulty in securing help
and getting their machinery here
that everybody else seems to be
experiencing this season and they
are thirty days behind.
Messrs. Moxley & Dobson, the
proprietors, each made a full hand
and have exerted every effort to
get the machinery in motion on
time. They guaranteed to have
the plant in operation July Ist.
They beat it two days in spite OF
unforeseen hanGicaps.

Why This "Roast?"

Bro. Nipper of the Isabel Trib-
une mystifes US in the following
efusion:
We notice in last weeks issue of
The Barber County Index, that
they gave US little puff on the
way we wrote up Hon. John Mac.
Gregor, candidate for the nomina-
tion of representative on the re-
publican ticket. When anyone
hollows if good man comes to
the bat you put it down in your
little red book that he is a good
man worthy of the office aud the
one the people want. You may
say what you wish about Col. Mac
Gregor but when it comes to the
point, a better man cannot be
found for the place than he is. He
is man that is highly respected
all over the county, and is capable
of filling this Office. If the people
of this county think as we do there
is no doubt but what the Colonel
will be the next representative
from Barber county. What has
Sam Griffin done while in Office,
and did he do so much that when
he came home the people carried
him around on their shoulders?
Ask yourself this question. When
you hear people like the Index
spouting off their bazoo it does
not count for much.
For the life of US we can't figure
out what the Tribune means. The
Index has been very decent in the
representative fight. In fact, as a
disinterested Democrat, it has
shown no partiality in the matter
at all. We fear that the brother
has had bad dreams.

Celebrated Golden Wedding

Johnson Mounsey and wife cele.
brated their Golden Wedding An
niversary at their home in this
city on Monday, July 4th. The
gathering numbered sixty five, in
cluding parents, children and
grand children, and it was an oc.
casion of exceeding JOY and merr1.
ment.
The anniversary dinner was be-
yond the pale of description-it
was superb. At each plate was a
basket of pansies and other flow
ers and the table delicacies includ-
ed everything in season.
In the center of the table was an
immense cake surrounded by fifty
beautiful candles.
Mr.. and Mrs Mounsey were pre-.
sented with many beautiful and
valuable presents by the different
children and grand children, and
collectively they presented them
large golden bell with FIVE stream
ers.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mounsey were
married at Orton, England, July 4,
1860. Mrs. Mounsey's maiden
name was Jane E. Stephenson.
They are the parents of twelve
children, all but two of whom are
living. The deceased are, Nellie,
who died in England, and Jane
Annie, who died in this city, July
8, 1897. The living children are:
Robert Mounsey, Chanute, Kansas;
George and Thomas Mounsey,
Barbara Wright, Ada william,
Rachel Balmer and Fannie Noun
nsey, Medicine Lodge; Mary E.
Lightburn, Capron, Ok; Emily
Butcher, Sharon, and Eva Koeller,
DeSota, Kansas. All, excepting
Mrs. Koeller and Mrs. william were
at the reunion, the latter be.
ing ILL.
This venerable couple settled
in Barber county in 1889 and have
been esteemed citizens among us
since that time. Their friends re.
joice with them upon this happy
occasion and hope they may
enjoy many more years of happi.
ness and good health.

Very Nearly Fatal

Ray Rogers, the 11-vear- old son
of U. G. Rogers and wife of Elm
Mills township,came very near los.
ing his life Friday evening while
attempting to Gu: a cow out of the
herd on his fathers ranch. Mr..
Rogers had sold some beeves to
VIM. Martin of this city and on
Friday afternoon Minis Martin and
Chester Ewing went out to bring
them in. Ray saddled his horse
and went with the other boys to
the pasture to help them get the
cattle. They had some difficulty in
getting the beeves out of the herd,
and at the time of the accident
Ray was about three hundred yards
from the other boys. The COW
made dash to get back to the
herd near gravel hill and the
horse which Ray was riding took
after her at high speed and
stumbled going down the hill.
The fall rendered the boy uncon-
scious in which condition he re-
mained several hours. AS soon as
his companions saw him lying on
the ground they went to his assist.
ance and carried him to the house
where the parents applied restora-
tives.
Saturday evening he began to
vomit blood and DR.. Coleman was
called. Since that time he has been
getting along satisfactorily and
the danger point seems to have
been passed. No bones were brok-
en- and all his injuries are internal.
1t was a very narrow escape.

The Other Side

The Index had a call from John
Mckeever last week, from whom
we learned for the first time his
story of the trouble between his
son, Ira McKeever, and Albert
Oyer, mention of which has been
made IN these columns heretofore.
The son, Ira, rented a farm near
Sharon from VIM. Rule of this city
but before he got possession of it,
Oyer moved into the house while
the former renter, Ernest Smart,
occupied it, and upon representa-.
tlon that he had secured Mr.. Rules
permission. After he had moved
IN, Mckeever claims that he told
him he could stay in the house as
long as things were satisfactory,
and he (McKeever) would board
there. Later, however, trouble
arose and Oyer refused to board
Mckeever, and McKeever ordered
Oyer to move out. Oyer refused
to move and when he was
away from home McKeever upon
advice of counsel, set the house
hold goods out and locked the
doors, When Oyer returned he
forcibly entered and put his furni-
ture back in. ThiS brought on an
assault from Oger who claimed
Mckeever called his wife a liar
but Mckeever denies the charge.
Mr.. Rule corroborates McKeever
IN these statements.

ed up in bicycle wreck Saturday
afternoon and those who saw the
accident feared at first that it had
resulted quite seriously. Riding
on the sidewalk on north Main
street, the tire came off of one of
the wheels and as Chester was
riding at rather high speed, he fell
quite hard on the pavement. For
a short time he was rendered
speechless by the fall. Neighbors
went to his assistance and a
thorough examination revealed
nothing more serious than several
bruises on the head and arms.
The accident happened in front of

Rotten! Rotten!! Rotten!!! !

Another disgrace has been ad.
ded to our local base ball history.
The Medicine Lodge team went to
Kiowa on the Fourth for the pur-
pose of playing ball but it deveI-
oped early that the visiting team
was chosen merely to fill in-Kio-
wa was to have the decisions re.
gardless of what happened. To
begin with, in the first inning, XII
owa was given three runs on a
foul. This was followed up by
the umpire's calling a Medicine
Lodge man out when he was at
least ten feet safe. And this pace
was studiou ly m aintaine e d
: throughout. 1t was common com.
ment that it had been decreed
that the visitors should not win.
The big end of the purse had to
stay at homeland it did.
When the Medicine Lodge boys
saw that the cards were stacked
they threatened to walk off the
diamond but they finally decided to
play it out at the earnest entreaties
of the people who wanted to see
the game anyway, even if the de-
cisions were foreordalned.
The final score was 7 to g.
Lloyd Greever has the distinction
of having umpired the game.
The Kiowa bunch should be proud
of this record-nobody thinks.

Notwithstanding the hardships tina
have come upon the people of Eureks
the past year. compelling some to re
