Struck The termination of an argument be- | tween John W. Urton, the presiding| judge of the county court, and Homer J. Clark, the editor of the) Democrat, in the county clerk’s of- fice last Monday afternoon was that the newspaper man established an unpleasant precedent by taking a punch at the head of the court. The affair took place while the court was in session, and the climax was reached when the presiding judge with one of his select oaths jumped from his chair in an angry, threatening manner. A short arm jolt was partially turned aside by Sheriff Hamilton and grazed the side of the judge’s face with only suffi- cient force to set him back in his chair. The timely interference of the sheriff and Constable Fredrick doubt- less cut short what would have been a longer mill. The melee occasioned a little re- cess of the court while the presiding judge wentto tbe prosecuting at- torney and filed information against the editor, charging him with com- mon assault. These proceedings were filed in the justice court of Squire John Lamar, who was out of town and did not-return until Tues- day night. Yesterday morning, be- fore the warrant was served on him, fierce struggle in Wall Street over what they had made a disputed point as to the effect the death ef E. H. Harriman would have upon stock values. . Apparently the empire builder of the Northwest was wholly unconcern- ed over what was going on among the speculators. “It is Wall Street’s business,’’ said he, “to create disturbances of this kind."” There was a tinge of contempt in his manner and tone when he said this. “No man or group of men can seri- ously affect the prosperity or stability of this country,’’ Mr. Hill added after a retrospective pause. ‘In saying this I, do not mean to belittle or in any way derogate the claim of Harri- man toa high place among the men who have done big things in his day. His activities were broad and_ his achievements notable. To emphasize my meaning I will put the case in an- other way. If I should die this sec- LET’S TRY THEM. Clark appeared before Squire Lamar and entered a plea of guilty to the charge. He was fined $1 and costs, the fine and trimmings amounting to $9.25. County Court Proceedings. Oounty court met last week with all members present, when the fol- lowing proceedings were had: Contract for county coal awarded | to the Peoples Elevator Company at | $2.85 per ton. W. W.

ROBBINS AUCTIONEER Will cry sales any where, Live Stock and Farm Sales a specialty. Graduate of the two best auction schools in the world. President of the Missouri State and Vice-President of the International auctioneers associations. Made 143 sales the past season, in 8 different counties. I cover more territory than all the auctioneers in Bates county combined, and can give your sale bills a wider circulation. If you had a member of your family very sick, or if you had a case in court where all your savings were at stake, would you hire an old quack doctor to attend their wants? or an old petty- fogging lawyer to look after your interests? No, you would cer- tainly employ the best physician or the best attorney available. The same rule should hold good in the hiring of an auctioneer, as he is your agent on sale day and you have little to say as to how your earnings shall be disposed of. It always pays to hire the best. My terms are reasonable. Send for free circular on how to ar- range for a sale. Call on or address me at Amoret, Mo. Dates made at this office, Phone 36.

The people along its lines would continue at their gainful occu- pations, the farms would go on pro- ducing, the mines would continue giving up their wealth, the forests contributing their accustomed share to the wealth of the land, the mills would not stop. Ina word, my death would by no manner of means affect one way or the other the stability or progress of the country or even a small part of it. “And so I will not be misunder- stood when I repeat that Mr. Harri- man’s death, regrettable as a person- |al bereavement to thousands, cannot check or accelerate the business progress of the country. Railroad earnings are good and the signs indi- cate that they will continue to grow. Mr. Harriman’s death cannot disturb the balance of the railroad situation to any appreciable extent any more than would my death or that of any other man you might mention. The business organization of this country is now too efficient for its machinery to be deranged or clogged by such an untoward occurrence as that of the death of anybody." “Do you know who will succeed Mr. Harriman?”’ was asked. “T have no idea who will take his place or title,” was Mr. Hill’s reply, ‘nor am I concerned about that. Whoever does will have a man’s job and whoever does will do the work well. The organization, the machin- ery, are ready at hand for some skill- ed man. All he will have to do is to do the work before him. The details will take care of themselves. “{ remember a remark once made to me by Dan Manning after he had been a Secretary of the Treasury a “\considerable time. The winning cry of the campaign which put Mr. Cleve- land in the presidency was; ‘Turn the rascals out!’ After Manning had been at the head of the Treasury a sufficiently long time to get his bear- ings a friend of mine called on him with me at Washington. My friend reminded Manning of the campaign slogan and asked him if he were obeying its injunctions. Manning's reply was that when he first took of- fice he thought he would make a clean sweep as the decencies of politics and the needs of government service would permit, but that he had been ere long enough to realize that the ury was so well organized that he could not interfere much with its operations, that it just simply ran it- self. What Manning found to be the situation in the Treasury is the situa- tion in the business of the country. It will just run of its own momentum if not interfered with.” 45-tf. J. W.

He Lassoed an Escaped Prisoner Oklahoma City, Okla., Sept.—At- tempting to escape from Sheriff Cox, of Hillsboro, Tex., Sam Hatchett, a negro’ on whose head rested a $7,000 reward, jumped, handcuffed through the window of a Frisco train near Henryetta. The train was going at a high rate of speed. The negro was not injured, but ran across fields and was making for the timber. Louis Bland, a cowboy, employed on the Pickens Brown farm, spied the negro, and seeing that he was handcuffed supposed he was an escaped prisoner and lassoed him with his rope. He brought the negro to Henryetta, where the sheriff and posse were in readiness to make a search for the negro. Sheriff Cox had arrived from Hills- boro, Tex., and started from Sapul- pa, where the negro had been in custody. The negro is wanted in Texas for the horrible murder ofa woman afew days ago, when, after beating to death a woman, he poured oil over her body and set it on fire.
