NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Ansel II. MahOney, the popular
and congenial clerk at the Palace
Clothing store, and Miss Alene Clear
man were married by Rev. D. G. Mac
Lehman at the Presbyterian manse
Monday night. Ansel is known by
practically everyone in Liberal,
where he has lived number of
years, and Mrs. Mahoney is also well
and favorably known by the majori-
ty of the Liberal folks. She has lived
with her parents north of town sew
eral years and taught a country
school near her home for two terms.
She has also been employed at the
Economy and Summers dry goods
stores. She is an excellent young
lady and should make Ansel an ideal
life companion. They are at home to
their friends in the Spradling resi-
dence on Grant avenue. The Demo-
crat joins the people of Liberal in
extending congratulations and best
wishes to the newly married folks.

RAISES COYOTE DOGS

C. T. Dykes, farmer living 10
miles northwest of town. engages in
a novel line of business in addition to
his regular farming. He makes a
speciality of raising coyote hounds
and has no trouble getting rid of the
pups at right around the $50 mark
each. He took some ofhis dogs over
to Johnson county the last of the
week and took part In a county
wide coyote hunt with the natives
of that county. Only eight of the
brutes were captured in the whole
drive. Notwithstanding that dogs and
men were present from all parts Of
the state. Mr.. Dykes has frequently
gone out on coyote hunt by him
self and couple of dogs and brought
home three coyotes to show for his
days work, which would seem to in
dicate the Johnson county affair a
decided frost. The county pays 800
per head for coyotes and the furs
bring about $500 each when shipped
to the city, which makes 1t worth
while to fool with If fellow gets at
least one per day.

WORKING ON THE ROADS

The work is progressing very rap
idly on the road running east from
Liberal to the Bluebell district. When
this job is finished there will be SO
miles of good hard road in that d.
rection and it is hoped that before
spring there will be several more
miles. The Chamber Of Commerce is
raising a great deal Of enthusiasm in
the road work and the farmers are
responding loyalty. There are about
20 wagons and teams hauling the
gyp onto the road at present and the
teams have been furnished by the
farmers and the men by the Cham
Der of Commerce. The gyp road is
nearly as hard as pavement and al
though it necessitates certain
amount of upkeep, it will last in
definitely The men who have this
road work in charge have the right
Idea on the subject as they believe In

A message was received this morn

OF l.. F. Clark of Manhattan, Kan
sas. Mr.. Clark is the father Of
Mrs. r. T. Nichols and brother
of J. G. Ault. He lived here cou-
pie OF years ago, residing on a farm
a couple of miles west of Liberal. Mr..
Clark was so years of age and leaves
a wife and two sons to mourn his
death. He was a representative cit
izen and one whose death will be re-
gretted by all who know him and par
ticularly so to number of old ac-
quaintances in Liberal and vicinity.
Funeral services will likely be held
Saturday. Mrs. Nichols left for Man

ORGANIZED A "MOOSEHEART
LEGION"

Gerald F. Gahan, national director
of the Loyal Order of Moose, was in
Liberal the last of the week In the
interest of that order. He gave an
Illustrated lecture to the members of
the lodge at a meeting Friday night, ,
which was greatly enjoyed by all the
boys. Mr.. Gahan made ARRANGEMENTS
while here to organize hMooseheart
Legion" the highest degree obtain
able in the order of Moose. Only
three of these Legions can be located
in this state, and Hutchinson and
Dodge City have been exerting every
effort to land it for their cities. How
ever. Mr.. Gahan was so we'll i'm
pressed with Liberal and its outlook
for the future, and so pleased with
the efforts of the local members to
build up a strong lodge that he will
recommend Liberal as the logical
place for its establishment. This
will mean big thing for Liberal, as
every Moose wanting to take the
highest degree of the order will have
to come to Liberal or go to Topeka
to get 1t, Topeka being the only town
in the state having such an organ
ization at this time. 1t has been our
observation that whatever the Moose
go after they generally bring home.

A BAD PRAIRIE FIRE

Fire starting near the Holland
Bros. pasture last Sunday burned
over about ten thousand acres of
land, most of which was valuable
pasture. Several miles of fence was
also burned and also destroyed. The
fire began about ten o'clock in the
forenoon and was checked about
five in the evening. Many acres of
feed and grain in the fields would
have burned had it not been for the
people in the community fighting the
fire as best they could.
Every one in the county should
remember the dangerous fires last
spring and the great loss of property
and the almost fatal injuries received
by several persons. This should have
been lesson to. all people who read
of it in the papers. 1t seems that
the law should be amended to make
it criminal offense for any person
in any manner to set fires in the
country except with the consent of
some legally constituted body acting
as a FIRE marshal and under certain
directions and restrictions. In most
cases those setting out the fires are
not responsible financially for the
damages that are done and therefore
the farmer who suffers the great
losses is without any remedy.
The wanton and willful setting out
of fires in the country in fields and
pastures has been for several years
denounced as a crime under the laws
of this state. This law has not been
strictly enforced in the past but the
county attorney says he intends to
make a thorough investigation of all
fires In the future. He has under in
vestigation now the fire which was
started in the Holland pasture about
twelve miles north and two miles
west of Liberal last Sunday, He has
summoned two boys OF about the age
of sixteen whose names have been
given to him as being the persons
who set the fire. In case the evidence
justifies, the county attorney asserts,
he intends to make arrests of the
guilty parties. 9he law, it is found,
is not broad enough to cover. all cases
of fires. .,..
1t is understood that the boys who
set out the fire last Sunday were
playing with matches and when the
fire was started made little or no eff
fort to fight it or try to put it out
The two boys names for the present
will be withheld as this is the wish of
County Attorney Commons, for it has
not been conclusively proven as yet
under what circumstances the fire
was set. +st

JUDGE CORRELL RETURNS
HOME

Judge r. T. Correll of Ochiltree
Texas, who has been laid up for re.
pairs at the Liberal hospital for sew
eral months, left Monday with Mrs
Correll for their home in Ochiltree.
The judge had a mighty close call
and is thankful to get out OF 1t even
after so long time. He is a fine
fellow and a prominent member of
the Ochiltree county bar and we hope
he doesn't get in front of the wrong
end of a shooting iron any more.
