OBITUARY MRS A. BAMBERG

Amanda Louise Westernhagen was
born in Saxon, Germany, on March 1S,
1888, and died at Salina, Kansas, July
z, 1919, aged 81 years, 3 months and
10 days. She moved with her parents
to America in 1847, a child of years
and lived in Wisconsin until she was
united in marriage to Charles A
Bamberg, December 25, 1863. They
went to Chicago where they lived un-
til 1879 when they moved to Trego
county Mrs Bamburg lived here the
rest OF her life except the last six
years which were spent In Sa1ina
To this union seven children were
born, four girls and three boys, two
of which have preceded her to the
Great Beyond. She had been in fail
ing health since last winter. The
cause of her death was heart trouble
and other infirmities brought on with
old age, which prevented her recovery.
The body was shipped to Collyer,
Kansas, for burial where she was laid
to rest beside her husband and Oldest
son. She was a good, true, Industrious
and energetic woman, a most kind
and loving mother, made a host of
friends wherever she went and was
loved and respected by all.

HARVEST HALF FINISHED

The steady hum of the harvest ma
chinery is still heard in the land but
the harvest work was delayed cou-
pie of days the first of the week on
account of rain. During the three
rains one and eighty-two hundredths
inches of water fell in this city, but
from information received the fall
was not as heavy away from Wa-Kee-
ney a few miles in any direction The
rain will be a great benefit to the
growing corn and feed crops and will
benefit them more than it will injure
the wheat BY inquiry among the
farmers we ascertain that harvest is
from finished to one-third half
done, making average of about
one-half done for the county. The
wheat yield and grade is going to be
"a disappointment to the most of the
farmers as neither the yield or quail
ity will be what it promised to be
four weeks ago. There is a whole lot
of straw and comparatively small
amount of shriveled grain, but it is
<sas hard as rock and the color is
good. The yield will be considerably
above the average for this county,
which is eight bushels, and will bring
considerable money if it is threshed
when it is properly dry. There are
plenty of laborers here now and they
are the kind that will work The de-
mand for hands is not very strong
and there will be many here are
needed for the rest of the harvest
season. The soil is in fine condition
for plowing and the farmer who can
get his land plowet now will find it to
his advantage to do so.

KANSAS CITY MARKET REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards, July Is.
The trade in hogs showed a tendency
to weaken today for the first time in
nearly two weeks past. However,
there was only a moderate decline
Cattle were in liberal supply. Best fed
cattle were quoted strong to higher
Some prime Missouri fed steers sold
at $16.5O, the highest Price in more
than six weeks past Grass fat cattle,
especially the p1aner grades sold slow

cents higher
Today's Receipts
The movement of cattle is increas-
ing Receipts today were 10000, and
for the two days this week $4,000
compared with year ago. Hog re-
ceipts $4,000 were 1000 less than a
week ago, and 1000 more than a year
ago. Sheep receipts 1000 were the
same as week ago, and 8 500 larger
than a year ago
Beef Cattle
Though receipts of cattle are in
creasing there is a noticeable decrease
in offerings from feed lots, and prices
for them were stronger again today
Prime LAG pound Missouri steers
sold up to S16.5O, prime yearlings
$3.50 and prime heifers UP to S15-
The bulk of the offerings from Kan
sas, Missouri and Oklahoma were

including wintered Kansas grassers,

high as $3.50 Grass fat cattle were
quoted steady to weak Veal calves

an enIatged opportunity for grazIers

$780,
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1919-07-17

remain steady Feeders are quoted at
$3.50 to $3.50 and stockers $3.50 to
$1,000.
Hog prices today were steady to Is
cents lower The top price was $22.40
and bulk of sales $21.9O to $22.30.
This is the first weakness the market
has shown in some time past and the
inability of the buying side to break
prices to any extent shows theurgency
indemand. Compared with preceding
weeks receipts remain moderate,
though they are larger than a year
ago. Pigs are in limited supply and
meeting ready demand from feeders
at $3.50 to $21.75.
Sheep and Lambs
Sheep and lamb prices were strong
to Is cents higher today, and in many
cases sheep show 81. higher than last
week. Nearly all the offerings today
were natives, and Western grades
would meet ready demand at higher
prices than natives. Fat lambs are
quoted at SIS to $3.50 Wethers
$3.50 to $11.50, ewes $7.25 to Sc. so,
breeding ewes S11.OO to $500 and
feeding lambs SO to $I5.O0

affairs of a community does it happen
that the soul of person who has been
useful and cheerful in that commun-
ity, take its fight into the eternal
future and the body is consigned to
the grave, leaving only the many
pleasant and happy recollections of
the departed one to be cherished and
recalled by the bereaved loved ones
and kind friends. This is true of the
life of Mrs. O. A. Cortright whose
death was mentioned~in this paper
last week She had been associated
with the affairs of this community
ever since the pioneer days when she
came here with her husband in 1879
AND located on a claim southeast of
town She possessed kind, helpful
and cheerful disposition and by her
acts and dispositions administered aid
and comfort not only to her family but
to many friends and neighbors in this
community.
Her maiden name was Cora Flor
ence Casseberry, she was born in Pots
town. Penn, April 3, 1847 and was
seventy-two years, three months and
seven days of age at her death On
December %, 1871, she was united in
marriage with Oscar A. Cortright at
Hazelton, Penn. To them five child
rem were born, four of whom are 1iv-
ing and with their father survive their
mother Mr. and Mrs. Cortright came
to Trego county in 1879 and lived on
farm southeast of town until num-
Der OF years ago when they moved
to this city which has since been
their home. On May 18th last Mrs.
Cortright suffered a stroke of par
alysis which effected her right side
and at that time her children were
called home account of her con-
dltion. However she rallied and SEEM
ed to slowly improve until July 4th
when she took worse and gradualIy
failed For practically all her life she
had been a devoted member of the
Episcopal church. The funeral SER
vices were conducted from the home
Saturday morning, July IL, by the
Rev. Miller, of Sa1ina, who used the
Episcopal burial services and the body
was buried in wa-Keeney Cemetery.
The floral offerings were many and
very beautiful testifying to the high
esteem in which Mrs. Cortright was
held. She is survived by her husband
.. A. Cortright, her son O. W. Cort-
right, of Garnett, Kansas, her daugh-
ter, Mrs Julia Marshall and son j. C.
Cortright, both of Wa-Keeney and
her daughter, Mrs. Bird Mccormick.
of Twin Falls, Idaho, besides her
nephews, T. C. Straw, of Ha1eyville,
Okla, and s. J. Straw, of Wa-Kee-
ney and her niece, Mrs Ethel Null. of
Twin Falls, Idaho, who were raised in
the Cortright home after the death of
their mother. To these relatives is ex-
tended the sincere sympathy of the
many friends of the family in this
community

this county, it will leave the farmers
practically nothing for their crop, as

reads follows:

OSCAR GUILBERT SERIOUSLY
HURT

Oscar Guilbert, of the Banner
neighorhood of this county, is in the
hospital at Hays in a very serious
condition from the effects of a kick
from a horse received Wednesday
morning at his home while attempting
to harness the animal to get it ready
for work in the harvest field. Here
tofore the animal had not been con-
sidered mean but was an average
work horse. From some unknown
cause it went wrong while the young
man who was working for Mr.. Gull
bert was trying to harness it and
bluffed him out. Considering that the
young man was stranger to the
horse Mr.. Guilbert anticipated no
trouble in harnessing it and getting
it ready for work. Instead of it being
as gentle as it usually had been, it
showed fight and not only kicked Mr..
Guilert in the stomach but also knock
ed him down and tramp1ed on him.
The harvest crew helped rescue him
from the dangerous position and DR..
Herrick was summoned The examin-
alton and general conditions indicat-
ed internal injuries and he was taken
to the hospital at Hays where more
convenient care and attention can be
received. He was accompanied to the
hospital by Mrs Guilbert, his broth
er, Walter and DR.. Herrick and Sam
Kelly. On his return in the evening
DR.. Herrick reported the case was
considered very critical. Walter Gull
bert also returned and took his moth
er down to Hays.

Mrs. Ida Ladwig clasped her six
ycar-old daughter, Hortense, in her
arms this afternoon and leaped from
the brow of Kings Bluff, on the Pali-
sades, landing 13O feet below. The
mothers worst injury is a broken right
arm and the child received nothing
more serious than few cuts and
bruises.
Mrs. Ladwig, who is 43 years old
and lives at 613 Park Avenue, Hoboken.
was recently paroled from SANTA
rum. in which she had been confined
since her husband killed himself three
years ago.
The descent of Kings Bluff is lined
with shrubbery-covered lodges, and it
is supposed these broke the fall of the
woman and child. They were picked
up near the Shore Road tracks in
lower Weehawkcn, and taken to North
Hudson Hospital
Mrs. Ladwig told hospital doctors
that Spirits" had ordered her to iump
from the cliff, and that they had also
commanded her to kill her brother,
