Of course he cannot be accu- rate in this but he can give a pretty good idea in a general way. The ofhcials of the Chicago, Fort Scott & Texas railroad have tavored Butler in every possible way, and do not hesitate to say that they like our town and people and would like to run their road here, but they are also positive in their determinatien to go by and around Butler if we do aot show a desire tor the road by our works. They can afford to miss Butler just a {little better than Butler can afford to miss the road. Mrs. Paran Stevens is a New York society lady. Miss Sallie Gibbons is one of her tenants. The two la- dies are now at odds, and Miss Gib- bons has sued Mrs. Stevens tor $10,- O00 damages because she visited her store and “‘tore and swore,’’ as the Yaintiff expresses it.

As previously advertised, a com- | mitree composed of the following | gentlemen trom Butler, Capt. J. W. |Hannah, J. C. Clark, Wm. E. Walton, John T. Smith, E. A. Ben- nett, Geo. A. Todd and J. D. Allen, and Judge Booker Powell, of Shaw- nee, went out to Ballard on Thursday } night to meet with the citizens of that section, to discuss the best methods to be pursued to secure the right of way for the C., Ft. S. & T. R. R. and the bonus ot $1,000 per ! mile asked by that company. On account of the meeting not being advertised long enough before hand, and the disagreeable weather, but a small turnout was had, but they were representative men of Spruce township. The meeting was called to order hy the chairman of the rail- road comunittee of Spruce township, Judge C. D. Cole, and John T. Smith stated the object of the meeting, and urged upon the people of that township the importance of their immediate and combined action in secucing the right ot way. Capt Hannah made a short but appropri- ate speech to the occasion. Judge Ballard made a statement ot what his township had already accomplish- ed. Ataprior meeting a standing committee had been appornted, which m tura had appointed sub committees in each school district. The committees had not reported and it was impossible to tell just what had been accomplished. The gentlemen present were not aware before that time was to limited. They, however, promised to go to work with a will and close matters definitely in a short time. We were sorry to learn that an impression had been created on the minds of many that the road would be built anyhow, whether they did anything or not. The experience ot Bates county has been entirely different from this, as a review of the explod- ed railroad enterprises will verity, and the people along the line, as well as at Butler, may have occasion to deeply regret embracing so flimsy a phantasy in the loss of this road.

By the time he reached the square again the marshal was on his track and nabbed him, but not cutting short his checkered career, as he assaulted Sheriff Glazebrook, taking him una- wares, while the marshal had him under arrest, throwing him down in the street. After administering a severe drubbing the marshal suc ceeded in locking him in the cooler. A State’s warrant was sworn out against him and deputy Sheriff Ew- ing had to use his pistol vigorously as a billy in removing him to the jal. He is what might be termed a very bad man.

She screamed, and the child straightened up in alarm, with its hands oyer its head, and dis- appeared from her sight, going to the bottom of the well which was about forty-five feet deep. There it remained till the fourth day when it was drawn out bygrappling its clothes with a hook. It was alive at the trme Mr. Turpin heard the story.
