The only expense attending the experiment would be the cost of drilling a hole, say 2,000 or 2,500 feet deep, At present the city is paying ahout $1,100 a year for seven electric plants. This much or more would readily be paid a gas company, besides all the houses and the dwellings would use the gas.

But instead ot such a manly course as any responsible journal would pur sue, the Record is continually throw- tng out some dirty little insinuation and innuendo, that can not possibly have any bearing with Judge Sullens, either as a man or a public officer, but simply shows the contemptible animus of the editor of that paper. Judge Sullens is as well or better known to the people ot Bates county than Mr. Austin, and the people have the utmost confidence in him, as shown by his large yote, and Aus.’ contemptible fight will not decrease his strength one iota.

In his dying struggle on the ground West fired two shots, tect.

Saturday morning she placed his body in a wagon and took it to the home ot his father, old Tom Starr, in the Cherokee Nation, where it was buried.
