in the city. It seems there had been
some differences over little matters
previous to the meeting this morning.
Mr.. Rakestraw did all the fighting
and Mr.. Noel came out rather badly
bruised up. Mr.. Rakestraw contends
that he had ample provocatiOn and
Mr.. Noel says he didn't. Mr.. Rake
straw pleaded guilty to fighting and
paid fine of S., to which some costs
were added. He charged Mr.. Noel
with using turbulent and boisterous
language. Mr.. Noel's case will come
up in police court Tuesday morning
if the men do not adjust their differ
ences outside of court, which is quite
likely as both are pretty good fellows.

His father, Jonathan Sparlin, wai
q native of Ohio, was reared as Q
farmer and received the usual COM
mon school education to be obtained
in the country schools Of the day. AZ
ter reaching manhood, he followed the
occupation of farming, for which the
experience of his younger days SO well
fitted him. Some time before the
opening of the Civil war, he moved
to Newton county, NO., and later to
Jackson county, Of the same state, be-
ing engaged in farming in both places.
In 1858 he removed to WyandOtte
county, Kansas, and at the opening Of
the Civil War enlisted in Troop A,
18th Reg, Kansas VAL, Cav, and
served for nearly three years. Nine
years later in 1867, returned to New
ton county, Missouri, where, he re-
mained until 1870, when he again
moved to Kansas, locating this time
in Cherokee county, where he engag-
ed in farming and stock raising. Here
he remained until his death, which oc-
Cured in 1884.

1t is believed that many more Of
General Blunt's soldiers were killed
than those on the ground where the
massacre took place. Occasionally,
for as many as 20 years after the
event, human bones were found in the
vicinity of Baxter Springs; and it is
believed they were the bones Of some
of the men who broke through the
ranks of Quantrell's men and were
pursued here and there and shot down
wherever they were overtaken. On
June "a, 1904, A. S. Dennison, who
was then sheriff of Cherokee County
in the early Eighties" showed me Ov-
er the ground where the massacre
took place and he pointed out the
positions of the forces Of the two
commanders, the place where the dead
were buried and many other things Of
interest in the affair. He also told me
that, while sheriff of the county, he
found number of human skulls on
the prairie just west Of Baxter
Springs which he supposed were those
of some of the unfortunate victims Of
the fury and bloody work Of the men
under Quantrell.
Discovery of Lead and Zinc.
Early in the year 1908 lead and zinc
were discovered in paying quantities,
just south of Baxter Springs, and
since then a number Of mines have
been opened. Extensive operations
are now going forward. Prospecting
has not been extended well into In
dian Territory, but not so far away
but that the work is yet well within
the Baxter Springs district, which
gives promise of becoming one Of the
best districts in all the lead and zinc
region. (Little did Mr.. Allison know
in 1904 how true his prediction would
become.)
Development of the Water Power
on Spring River.
Elsewhere mention is largely made |
of the dams which are being built on
Spring River for the purpose Of gen.
Grating electric power. Baxter Springs
the center of which, is only two and
one-half miles on a direct line from |
the dam at Lowell, will be supplied
with electric power for all purposes.
The electric railroad is to be extended
from Galena, by way Of Lowell to
Baxter Springs, and 1t is expected to |
go to the mines south Of the city. (Mr.
Allison, writing in 1904, talks Ike he
knew the future. It has taken IL
years for his prediction to come true.)
There is no doubt that the city and
the surrounding country will become
thickly settled, and 4 very busy man
