Dr. Murphy, pastor of the Baptist church took his final leave Sunday. During his administration the church has had a most able divine and all regret that the doctor has decided to take his leave. He goes to Sedalia where he will continue in the good work which he has been engaged in 80 many years. The best wishes of our people will follow him. TY. B. Noland, another farmer, bad a lot of groceries and a lap robe sto- len from his buggy in this city Sat- urday. It does seem as if the city officers, who are employed and have nothing else to do but watch and guard the interests of the people if they were diligent and keep a sharp eye they could pickup some of these sneak thieves. W. H. Carroll, a prominent farmer living near Culver, was in the city Saturday and reported that he had lost within a short time by cholera, 70 head of fine hogs fit for the mar- ket, and had a wagon with side boards loaded with dead pigs to take away when he returns home. He estimates his loss at about $1,- 000. We see from the Rich Hill papeis that the section men in burning off right of way land just west of Sprague one day last week, let the fire get away from them and the re- sult was that J. W. Meeks lost 75 acres of corn, F. M. Wheeier and H. P. Robinson several hay stacks and five hundred acres of corn. The fields are very dry and a fire once started is almost uncontrollable. Hon. Jehn B. Newberry, who has been on a pleasure trip for the past two months in the south and east, is home again. While absent he visited Louisville, the Mammoth cave in Kentucky, took a daylight ride up the Hudeon and saw David B. Hill's $10,000,000 state house. He then went to Chattanooga and the expo- sition at Atlanta and from there to New York state and spent several weeks visiting relatives and friends in Broome and Orange counties. W. K. Elliott, one of the substan tial farmers living near Virginia, called on the Times Friday and re- newed for 1896. He informed us that he had sold his farm to a Mr. Shaffer, of Iowa, and expected to purchase another place nearer town. Mr. Elliott said he had lived in Bates about 17 years, and as he and his wife had no children he would get a small place and take life easy the rest of their days. A desperate and deadly encounter took place between two neighbors named Collins aud Liarris at Foster, Thursday of last week Collius used a knife and Harris» green p.ck handle. A friendly fence which sep arated them and the early arrival of a gentleman passing who interfered, probably saved the life of one or both the men. Itis claimed by Co!- lings that Harris first assaulted him with the pick handle, striking him on the head. In defense he drew his knife and quite seriously- cut Harris in the arm and in the side over the heart. A rather funny se quel to the fight is that both men, shortly after the disagreement, made up, shook hands, and agreed to drop the matter. In order to avoid arrest and prosecution both men came to Butler Saturday in a buggy to consult with the prosecat- ing atttorney and notify bim taat they had settled their differences and that they would refuse to ap- pear agsiust+ach other Both ad- mitted to the prosecuting attorney that they meant business while the fight was on and that there would in all probability have been a double funeral had it not been for the fence. The difficulty, we understand, was) brought about by the disagreement of children of the two families. Prosecuting Attorney Holcomb went oyer Monday to investigate the af- will prosecute the parties against | the'r wishes. | Mr. Holeomb informs us that the parties connected with the unfortun ate affair are among Foster's best citizens and botb feel ashamed that they allowed their temper to get the better of their judgement. ssp lel | ll led LL ad dd stslabslebsl op ie en isiys BS) Madam Rumor has it that Miss | Mary Welch and Clifford Page, of | 5 Round Prairie, were married at the | bride's parents on Sunday last. | EEE Conduetor Abell, Joe Little and | Mr McFadden, Emporia trainmep, have been granted a month’s leave of absence and will leave Friday for | Little Rock, Arkansas.

Wyatt, (alias a dozen other | names,) the prisoner that made his eseape from jail the 17th inst, has been returned to his old quarters by Sheriff Colyer, who, by the assist- ance of the city Marshal, captured ed him at Richmond, Mo., Monday. When Wyatt made his escape he was being worked on the outside and gave deputy McDonald the slip. Wyatt is serving a jail sentence for being implicated in attempting to | burglarize the store of C. Sprague & Co. Sheriff Colyer is of the opin- ion that the prisoner isa bad man, and that there are other crimes he has committed and fearing detection he is anxious to get away from But- and the clutches of the law. H. V. and A. E. Murphy, of Kan- sas City, representing the Kansas City World were in Butler the other day and gave the Times a pleasant call. These gentlemen came down to establish an agency for the sale of their paper, which hereafter can be found at the news stand at the post office. The World is one of the leading papers of Kansas City, and its complete and reliable market reports has given it a wide circula- tion among stockmen and shippers | enjoyed by no other paper in that} city. Soif the farmers of this com- | munity want a paper which correct- ly reports the markets of the leading points in the United States they will find in the World just what they want. The state convention W.C. T. U. will meet in this city Tuesday. The programe is elaborate and a large number of delegates will be present. The convention proper will be held in the opera house. The state execu- tive committee will meet in the Pres- byterian church at 9:30, and at 1:30 the Young Womans’ conference un- der the direction of Miss Carter will be held at the same place. In the evening the welcome and response will be given, after which a reception | will be given at the home of Mrs. ! Frizell. The president's annaual | address will be given Wednesday | evening.

McKIBRBENS. Recorder J C. Hale, wife and daughter, Neitie, who have been spending the past month with a married daughter at Rocky Ferd, Colorado, have returned home They all enjoyed the trip very much and feel that their health has been great- ly benefitted. Mr Hale spent most of his time with hunting parties and jsays game was plentiful, but the weather was so dry it was hard to get in shooting distance of either deer or antelope Mr. Hale killed one black tailed deer. Saw bear tracks but as he was not cultivating their acquaintance the track was all he wanted to meet. Just before starting for home he went on an antelope chase with greyhounds and had more fun to the square inch than he ever had before on a hunt. The Times is glad to learn Mr. and Mrs. Hale had a good time and all will welcome them home again. A Bold Horse Thiet. W. O. Jackson, one of Butler's prominent lawyers and ex prosecut- ing attorney of the county, has been reduced to the infantry. Saturday evening after dusk he rode his bay charger to the city and hitched him to the rack at the northwest corner of the square, opposite the Mo. State Bank. Between 7 and 8 o'clock he called to get his animal and to his surprise found horse, saddle and bridle missing. His first impression was that some friend had taken the animal and that all would be right id afew minutes. Waiting an hour or so and making inquiries his hopes began to vanish and he realized that the fellow that had apprepriated | his horse meant business. The stolen animal was a large bay, about 16} hands high, white hind feet, shod in front, close; saddle almost new, Mosby tree muley, and had hand grip on left side of pommel. Fair leather bridle, curb bit with black hitch rein. This was certainly about as bold a piece Butler in many a day.

E. Walton returned from ‘Montana last week bringing with her little Tommy, the four year.old | nephew of Mr. Walton, who will live with them for the present. Tommy is a bright little boy, as handsome asa picture and he has won the hearts of Mr. and Mrs. Walton. Workmen the otner day in exca vating for the foundation for Pent- zer’s new store house on North Main street, unearthed a common sand tombstone about two feet high by 18 inches wide, which bore this inscription: Rachel E. | Wife of | William J. McKown Died Jan. 19, 1870 Aged 37 years, 10 mo. 21 days. Investigation has failed so far te re veal any signs of a grave and jus how this gruesome relic came to be under the old frame building, moved from the spot to make room for the new, is a mystery. Dr. Renick was quite seriously hurt early Monday morning, and Dr. Boulware who was called to dress his injuries is of the opinion that the doctor will be laid up for several days if not weeks. The doc- tor was in his stable making ready to get his horse and in taking dowo the harness in some way became en- tangled and fell. In the fall he caught his leg in a twist and tore loose the ligament that joins the bones at the knee cap. The wound }is not only a very painful one but is located in a place hard to heal and he is likely to be lamed for some time. The Times with other friends sympathizes with the doctor in bis misfortune, and hopes to see him | out again soon. Petty thieving in Butler are getting oO Numerous and the city officers should be more vigilant in the dis- charge of their duty. The mer- | chants have been greatly annoyed by these rascals, in losing gloves, shoes and even parts of suits of clothes hung on the outside for show. Emboldened by their depre- dations on the merchants, the thieves are now transferring their line of operations to farm wagons and vehicles and it is getting to be dangerous for a farmer to leave a lap robe, quilt, overcoat or whip in his wagon while trading. Saturday James Simpson came to town shopping and buying his supply of groceries placed them in his wagon. Leaving Pi for afew minutes on hie return he found a sneak thief had been along and appropriated his entire purchase. Now it does not speak well for the city and its officers when a farmer or otber per- son cannot leave packages in their wagons in broad day light for a few minutes without having them stolen yaicey BAKING MOST PERFECT MADE.
