Atthetime Sylvey made his eseape he was under indictment for grand larceny. John Trimble has finished up his | contract of filling in next to the curbing around the court house yard with rock. He used something over 400 perches at 85 cents per perch. He did a good job and itis a great improvement. Horses hitched to the rack are not now standing on their heads. Sheriff Mudd is delighted with the country about Guthrie, Enid and throughout that section He said | he never saw finer corn, and wheat fields asfaras the eye could see, with threshers running merrily in every direction. He thinks it is a great place to go to make money. Dr. Hughes, of the Dr. E. O. Smith Sanitarium Co, of Kansas City, will be in Butler at the Cottage House on Monday; July 17th, for one day enly, where he will be glad te see his old patients that need further treatment, and any new ones that desire to take treatment for piles and cancer. Harrison Bryant, a colored man at Warrensburg, who lost an arm and | was otherwice badly injured by be |ing struck by a train, has brought suit against the Mo. Pac. railroad | for $20,000. If that coon belongs | to the younger generation he is cer | tainly overestimating bis worth. | Esq. W. D. Anderson was in the | city on Monday. He reports the | farmers very busy with the crops | and says the corn prospects are very | flattering. Mr. Anderson is one of | Bates county's most progressive cit- | izens and the Times is glad te num- | ber him among its best friends and | patrons. | RR. L. Braden complimented us) i pleasantly on Saturday. He is dem- j corer central committeeman from Homer township, and one ef the | most active party workers in the | county. His name is being men tioned in conneetion with the race for county treasurer next time. He would make a strong rece and a moat excellent official, if elected. | pocketbook. | Our fellow townsman, Joe Little, | was robbed of $35 ip cash at Nevada Saturday night.

Dr. Williams, of Hume, is a little hard on Butler, if he had been cor rectly reported in the Rich Hill Review. But the Review has had to “skin back” so many of its sensa- tional disclosures of late that we take this latest with a grain of al- lowance and our people will not go gunning for the doctor until he has been given a chance to explain. However, we have to confess, to our shame, of tne deplorable condition of our streets, and nothing can be said teo hareh of the old shell of a court house. We met W. J. Bard on the streets Monday. On our promise not to say any more about what he was carrying in his hand he gave us two dollars—on subscription. We want to tell awful bad, but our word is out and we must remain silent. Mr. Bard is one of Bates county’s most prominent and influential citizens, and by his genial waya makes friends with all with whom he comes in contact. He hes been a friend of Tur Tives for mapy years and we regard him very highly. The court house in Warrensburg is to have a big clock placed on its tower. The time piece is to bea mammoth affair, and will have a 500 pound copper bell, which will strike the hours and half hours loud enough to be heard a long distance. At night the clock will be illuminated with electric lights. A fire alarm attachment is also provided. The clock is to cost complete $855. The Polhan Clock Co, of St. Louis has the contract to build and put the clock in place. Messrs.T. J. Day and W. G Shafer have succeeded in raising about $1,300 from the property owners and business mea for the purpose of macadamizing Obio street to the depot. While thie is a good begin- ning, it is not sufficient, and a good strong pull will have to be made to seeure this result. All of the prep- erty owners have net been seep. Those who have not should make up their minds before the com- mittee reaches them to give liber ally, as have these who have been seen. The city will help out some, but the property owners and citi- zens must do their part. EEE ROI el ee eee eee aie The Journal says the rain knoeked | out the celebration at Adrian. We didn’t step for rain at Butler and| had a big time. The county institute opened at Adrian Monday.

Mayes, one of Mingo’s best and most influential citizens, in com- pany with his wife,complimented the Tues very pleasantly on Tuesday Although he bears his years lightly we made the very natura! mistake of thinking Mrs. Mayes his daughter. He was inclined to resent it, but we had the lady on our side so he had to succumb gracefully. Mr. Mayes in one of our oldest and most highly esteemed friends and he paid us the great compliment of saying that the Tres is the best county paper he ever read. He has been a subscrib- er for twenty years and during that time he stopped it one year and took another Butler paper. Pierce Hacket favored us with a pleasavt call on Saturday.

The difficulty took place about 12 o'cloek at night on the east side of the squre. Hammond is a porter in & hotel and had been to a late train.
