Byers Loses Suit

The Liberal Democrat last
week contains an article with
reference to the Byers suit to
compel Liberal to pav the $50,
QUO in bonds voted to aid in the
building of the K. & O. line from
ForRan to Liberal.
On the 9th inst. the state su-
preme court handed down a de-
cision adverse to Byers, and that
our people may better under
stand the situation. we will here
quote extracts from the Demo-
Gratis comments that will shed
some light on future probabili.
ties.
The following taken from the
comments we think a tolerably
fair appraisement of the situa-
tion:
What further steps will be
taken in the matter of the build
ing of the Kansas & Oklahoma
railroad cannot be determined.
The fact that the failure to get
the bonds will be responsible for
different plans being made and
will likely have the effect of still
further delaying the building of
the road.
President Byers will no doubt
make further efforts to finance
the road and most people believe
that he will ultimately be able to
complete it to Liberal: After
this is accomplished the building

The Club Meet

The meeting of the CONNER
cial club Tuesday night was one
Of the most interesting that
has been held.
The Chairman. Col. Thompson,
being out of town. vice presi.
dent Salmon presided over the
deliberations.
The first topic discussed was
the to urist camp ground. After
some deliberations Ed. Measel
offered to build two camp fur.
naces, furnishing the cement
and giving his time. II the club
would put down . well and put
In . pump. Agreed to.
In the future this camp ground
is to be fenced with a nice web,
planted to trees and Towering
shrubs. camp house built, and
other conveniences and ornamen
tations that will make it into q
grand little park and camping
and resting place. {.
The matter Of the street fair
was further discussed and con-
sidered, making it purely an ag-
ricultural and stock fair. the
merchants giving special prizes
and some money raised by dona-
tions to pay expenses and pre-
miums. The policy of holding
the chautauqua and fair at the
same time was mentioned.
The matter of putting on q
regular 4th of July celebration
was taken up and duly consid-
cred. No direct action was TAX
en-. but there was a tacit under
standing that q 4th of July cele-
bration on q colnmendable ccale
would be put on.
It has been seven years since
Springfield celebrated independ-
ence day. and only on a small
scale at that time. Two Buttes
put on . rather elaborate cele-
bration six years ago. but as the
9TH comes in the busiest part of
their irrigatin9 season no other
4th of July has since then up
there been celebrated.
1t is considered consequently
polite for Springfield this year
to put on something as q diver.
sion for Americas great holiday.
If properly featured, there
would undoubtedly be 1000 or
3. 0OO people here to help cele-
brate.
The plans for placing the
markers on the Plains Mountain
highway was talked over, but no
definite action taken.
Members were a little late
coming in, Suppose we take up
the policy of being on hands
promptly ten minutes before 8,
and the program to start prompt
ly at 6.
