Christian Socialists are irritated by
the measures taken by the Seydler

proposed to be made among the peas

and tactless. The president of the

Baxter Springs news., 1918-07-19

From the South and Southwest
there came not the reckless but the
bolder classes of the extreme from.
tier, honorable in q way, true to 9
friend, but deliberately cold to the ap-
proach of those who might be sus-
pected of a questionable design. The
classes who furnish the money were
those who came from the older sec
tions Of the country, as merchants
and tradespeople, and those who came
from the frontier as the owners Of the
vast herds of cattle which, in those
days, were driven northward, to come
within easier reach Of the markets or
to meet the cattle buyers, who were
plentiful at that time. Being the prin-
cipal trade mark Of the Southwest,
Baxter Springs was the nerve center
of a constantly widening area from
which 1t drew all things unto itself.
Money was so plentiful that men be-
came wild in their speculative ideas;
and those who had the direction Of
public affairs reckoned not at ALL for
the future; or if they did, they could
see nothing but q continuation Of the
feverish conditions Of the material
prosperity which had set the town SO
we'll along.
BY the year 1875 the town had a
population of about 5000; but long
before that It had voted bonds to the
Kansas City, Fort Scott & Gulf rail-
road to the amount of $150,00O. In
1871 after the railroad bonds had been
voted, $25,000 was voted for building
school houses, and $4,000 for court
house; and in 1873 $4,000 was voted
for street improvements, making the
bonded Indebtedness Of the city $780,
900, an amount greater than the real
value of the taxable property Of the
people. Subsequently the building Of
the st. Louis & San Francisco rail-
road and the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas railway into the Indian terri
tory, the one south and the other west
of Baxter Springs, so cut of the Tex
as cattle trade as to practically ruin
the trade interests Of the town.
When the trade Of the city was
taken away; when civilization in its
march, pushed the frontier
further on, and Baxter Springs settled
down to the basis of its own merit,
the ardor and enthusiasm which had
led the people into wilderness as to
the future Of the town cooled down;
but their bonded obligations remained
no less exacting. Creditors rarely
slacken their hand on account Of the
weakened condition Of the debtor. II
q "pound Of flesh" is nominated in
the bond, the payment is demanded at
Baxter Springs news., 1918-07-19

Some time after A. Baxter had
built his tavern there came man by
the name of Powell, who opened the
first store ever in The place and did a
kind of small business, after the man
ner of merchants. at the OutpOsts of
civilization, where came the few set
tiers to lay out their megre savings
in the purchase of such things as an
swered-their wants of their unpreten-
tiOus lives, and to hear the news
which the country stOre-keeper was
supposed to be able to give out. Some
time after Powell came, Jefferson
Davis md a man by the name Of Arm
strong lighted upon claims and built
rude shanties, their claims being on
lands upon which part of the town
was afterwards built. Years after
ward, when the county had been or
Ranized, and courts bad been estab-
lished, Davis was the defendant in a
criminal action, the first case, Of any
kind. that was ever tried in the Dis
trict Court Of Cherokee county. The
trial came on at the first day Of the
only court held at Pleasant View
township, where the county seat was
then located; and It was the only case
tried sf that term, which began on
Mond1y, May 6, 1867, and lasted
three days. It is said that Davis was
charged with committing a felony and
gas convicted.

true that the primitive. jig. does not
get all of the ore out but by adding
a crusher and rolls as has been, done

The mill is the ideal way to get out

AAC hAob hNWoPNPNA PeSheh~a -
Cherokee county was the Baxter
Springs Herald, the first issue Of
which was in October, 1867. 1t was
owned and edited by B. r. and N. j.
Evans. Baxter Springs was then q
mere frontier camp, the home of some
good, steady, reliable people, largely
outnumbered by floating class, who
drifted from place to place as their
shifting fortunes opened the way. The
paper had but meager support, new
er strong but constantly doubtful; and
before its first volume was rounded
out the project was quietly abandoned.
The second paper established in the
county was The Cherokee Sentinel, al
so at Baxter Springs, in October,
1868, by M. w. Coulter and ID. G. Hol-
brook. Some time in the spring of
1869, w. L. S. Lyons bought an in
terest in it. In December of that year
Mr.. HolbroOk sold his interest to the
other owners. 1t was then conducted
by them, Mr.. Lyons being the editor
and Mr.. Coulter the business mana
ger. ] have not been able to get in
formation as to how long this paper
continued; before me lies copy Of
the issue of Saturday, April s, 1870.
This number shows that some changes
had taken place other than those |
have mentioned. Lyons and Cutter
are the proprietors and W. f. c. Ly-
Ons is the editor. This was before
Baxter Springs had a railroad; but
the Kansas City, Fort Scott and Gulf
road was just then being finished to
Baxter Springs. The following read
ing matter and advertisements are
taken from this issue:
"Work has been begun on the
freight depot and it will soon be ready
for business. The passenger depot
will soon be commenced"
"The district court meets Monday at
Columbus. Judge Webb will preside,
We understand that the attorneys
have agreed to move the postpon-
ment of all business until some time
