Trvzs: It was my intention when last in your city to call on you, but other matters seemed to take precedence and I failed to do so. Iam soon to leave the employ of the Farmers Bank of this place, and as the saying is, “go west to grow up with the country.” While here, I became afflicted with disease of the heart, which during the heat of summer unfits me for business. Have tendered my resignation as asst. cashier to take effect April 1st. Shall leave here sometimes in April on a prospecting tour through the western states and territories. At present my objective point is Seat- tle, Washington, but may find some city nearer where I will decide to remain. During my connection with this bank (more than three years) I have received nothing but the kindest treatment and consideration at the hands of its officers and directors, which I assure you is appreciated. Will keep you posted as to my whereabouts and trust that the Ties may follow, bringing to me tidings of home and friends. Yours, F. M. Auten.

The Bates county jail at Butleris condemned as a place only fit for hogs—not the human family. It is not a fit place to put criminals. and this disgrace should no longer be tolerated. While it is a fact that Bates county is large and rich enough to take care of her own priscners, and keep them an home, every time that the question is brought before the people they vote it down. We hope the voters of Bates county will take this matter in hand and cast their ballot for the new jail, and raise the credit of Bates county, in regard to taking care of its crimi- nals.

Another unfortunate accident oc- cured at the 40-acre mining tract just before the dining hour to-day, by which Ed Harding, affboy of 15 years loses his life. James and Willis Leslie had put in a shot in their room in the usual way and just before the dinner hour “fired” it as is their custom. Young Harding, although not in their room at the time, was in an adjoining one where he deemed himself perfectly safe, as did some of the older mi- ers. But he stuck his head out to make some inquiry just as_the shot went off. A portion of the flying debris struck the unfortunate youth crushing in his skull in the region of the left temple and inflicting fatal injuries. He was knocked senseless at the first and had not regained consciousness up to the hour of go- ing to press. The parents of Hard- ing reside just north of the smelters —Rich Hill Review. Plow Work.
