Sam Vaugbn, colored, had his head and both legs cut off by a freight train at Centerview, Johnson county, the other day. He was on his way to Kansas City He had gotten off the train at Centerview, and in attempting to board the cars out fell under the year of its existance last week Friend Middleton is one of the pio- neer newspaper men of the state and the Ties is glad to see him prospering. Geo. Long, the young man charg- ed with murdering his father, was arraigned in Squire Hemstreets court, this city, Monday, and waived examination and was returned to jail to await the action of the grand jury. He is a stout built young man, and has an intelligent face. The Times refuses to publish an excellent communication from Mingo this week, because it was not ac- compained by the writer's name. We insist upen writers signing their articles and communieations, vot for publication but as evidence of good faith. Our esteemed friend A. B Owens, of Altona called Saturday and re newed for 1894. Mr. Owens is one of Bates county's most enterprising and successful farmers and would be mest excellent material for rep- resentative if he could be induced to accept the nomination. The Ties wishes to compliment the enterprising editors ef the War rensburg Journal-Democrat, Messrs Hutchison and McBride, in their undertaking of getting outa daily paper for their town. The new pa per is a daisy and would be a credit to any town twice the size of War- rensburg. The boys have the best wishes of the Tis. The Carnegie company has been detected in furnishing the govern- ment an inferior quality of armor plate for war ships and made to re fund $140,000. When the company found they were detected in their swindle they hushed the matter up as quick as possible by making set- tlement with the government. Friend Atkeson is very anxious to know if the Times stands for free silver. If friend Atkeson had been a subscriber to this paper, or even had borrowed and read the Tiuzs, since the agitation of the silver ques- tion he would not, now that he has become an editor, be exposing his ignorance and making himself ridie- ulous before the community. Amsterdam’s efficient postmaster, W. H. Crawford, spent a day in the city last week and gave the Tinzsa pleasant call. It is currently repoted that Mr. Crawford will enter the race for the nomination of county clerk. He was a candidate three years ago before the primary and made a splendid race, coming with- in a few votes of securing the nomi- nation over Col. Pace and T. L. Harper. Mr. Crawford is one of the promising young men of this county, a true democrat, and if he concludes ito make the race he will be a hard man to beat. Hood's and only Hood's.

Culp is an all round tough, aud was sent to the reform school for shooting one of the Dalton boys inthe arm at Mer | win, some time ago during a fight He came from Kansas to Missouri, a short time before the trouble and | had been working on a farm in the neighborhood of Merwin.

The Record is printed on Satur-| day and contained a twenty three | line local of the seusational shooting | of Constable W. A. Long,of Lone Oak township, which took place Thursday a week previous to the publication. cusable in its lack ef enterprise aud can console itself over the fact that the Union printed on Thursday did noteven mention the tragedy nor the eyclone which passed through the south part of the county. But then it did not make any differ ence as the particulars of both were published in full in the Ties and given to the people. Great excitement prevails among the citizeus of the new town of Enid Oklahoma, over an attempt to squan- der the funds of the city uselessly The mayor of the gity has resigned and boodle, corruption and fraud is being charged against some of the officers Ata meeting of the coun cil the other night an attempt was made to capture tne records to see what had become of the money ex pended. A fight in the council room was almost precipitated and in an instant 100 guns and revelvers flashed 1oto sight. The records are now being guarded by a posse of armed men with instructions to re sist all attempts to get them and it! is thought that blood will be spilled} over the matter. Every manin the town is said to be armed and 500 men have been deputized to keep the peace. Geo Norris, the young man who had such an experience with the cy- clone in Pleasant Gap last week, called at the Times office Friday He was quite severely hurt in the right foot and was limping from pain’ He said he had retired and was about half asleep when the storm struck his house and as it carried him away he imagined he was falling in the well, and when he landed in the hedge fence he thought he had struck the bottom of the well and began: feeling for the rock wall to crawl out. The little boy spoken of in last week's paper was carried and dropped on the opposite side of the hedge. Mr. Norris had just moved into the house on Saturday. The orchard of Dan Roof, he said, was almost demolished, thirty of his trees being torn up by the roots, but the house and family were u» hurt, the evclone missing the resi dezce about 10 rods. The Smith | family, hurt by the storm, Mr. Nor | ris said were deing well with the exception of Mr. Smith, and it would | be some time, he thought, before he | will be able to get out, his wounds| being very bad and painful.

Mr. Earsom said he was a near neighbor to Mr Long, and call- ed to see the wounded man as soon as he learned of the tragedy. In talking over the sad affair Mr. Long, | eould give no reason for the rash act | of his son. He said he had always treated him well and did the best he could to raise him to respectable manhood. He had just sat dowa in his chair and picked up a mewspaper to read when shot. He fell forward with his breast resting on a stool chair sitting in front of him and in this position he lay for several min- utes, in a paralyzed cendition, con- scious but unabie to move. His weight on his breast finally mude his position very uncomfortable and in attempting to get to the floor fell and bis hands and arms went into an empty box sitting on the floor, in this position he was more uncom- fortable than before. His speech coming to him and being unable to extricate himself’ he called for help and his son came in. raised him up and asked the cause of the trouble. He told him he had either been shot er the lamp had exploded and re- quested him to go for the neighbors anda doetor, which the boy did. | Mr. Earsom said the citizens were badly excited over the affair at the | time and had it beem known positive ly that George did the shooting he) is confident the case would have been | settled out side of the court house. | Said Mr. Earsom, the theory advan- | ced in the neighborhood for the| shooting is that George wanted to. marry a certain girl, to whom his) father objected, he then corceived the idea of putting the old man out | |of the way, taking his wagon and | team and marrying the girl.

Sam'l Anderson of, Tulare, cali- fornia, and Miss Minnie Fox, of this city were married by Rev. Babbit, Wednesday of last week. Joe T. Smith received word Tues- day of the serious sickness of his ‘brother, James at Auburn Indiana and took the first train for that place. If his brother is able to travel Mr. Smith will bring him and his family back with him. Rev. Stephene, pastor of the Ohio street Methodist church, left Mon- day to attend the annual conference of his church, which meets at Leba- non the 14th and continues through the week. The Times wishes him a pleasant trip and safe return. Mayor Wykoff informs us that Mayor Hickman’s last statement be- fore he went out of office showed he paid $1,240 interest for the two years on an indebtedness of $3,809. This would be at the rate of about 18 per cent a year, or 36 per cent for the two years. Pretty high rate of int- erest for an economical administra- tion. During the same time over $1,800 was paid in salaries and it was working under acity of the 4th On an indebtedness of $3,700 the Wykoff administration only paid interest to an amount less than $600 for the two years.
