The crime wave of which we
have read so much In the dally
papers and which has been prevail
Ing In the cities the paBt winter
seem to be spreading to the rural
districts and Beaver county Is un-
fortunate in being In Its track. Last
Thursday the Beaver postofflce safe
wbb cracked at an early hour In
the morning. Early that evening
John Longnecker a farmer living
three miles south and five and one-
half miles east of Liberal Kansas-
In Beaver county was murdered in
what all evidence shows to hne
been cold-blood. The following Sat-
urday n safe at a mercantile estab-
lishment at Gray was cracked and
the same night a safe in an oil sta-
tion at Guymon was blown and
robbed. Tills In addition to two
attempted hold-up's by masked men
near Liberal Kansas during tho
week Is about enough crime for
one week. In every Instance of
safe robbery very little money was
obtained which goes to show that
our people either do not have tho
"dough" or thoy arc careful 'to
place it in a safe depository. Vfss
will obtain very little loot by safe-
cracking in these pints. Even the
banks having great safes and strong
vaults In which to protect their
funds nro not taking any undue
clu.nces. They nro not keeping a
whole lot of cash on hand. "Safety
first" Is a mighty good slogan and
It Is pretty well observed In monoy
matters in these parts.

Next Sunday May 8th Is Mothers'
Day. On that occasion colored
flowers for the living and white
flowers for those who have passed
on are to be worn in honor of
mother. The day should also be
oberved by sending flowers ta lot-
ter.or a long distance message to
that loved one if living If you
cannot reach home. Better still go
and see mother. Take some flow
ers. Spend at least a part of tho
day with her. She will appreciate
It. SHE DESERVES IT. What
would you not give to be permitted
to spend that day with that dear
mother who has been called away?
Oh how the heart aches when
mother Is gone. What a lonllness
over-shadows the heart when othors
are sending flowers messages and
going to see mother and there Is
naught to do but visit that little
mound In the cemetery where rests
all that was. mortal of that .dearest
friends In all thB world MOTHER.
Give her that thought that kind
word that conslderatlo nto which
slio Is so richly entitled while she
Is yet living. Flowers and loving
deeds for the living arc bettor than
tears' and regrets for the dead. Ho-

John Longnecker a farmer who
lived threo miles south and five
and one-halt miles east of Liber-
al Kansas In this county was
found dead by a neighbor Monday.
Evidence showed that the man had
been dead since Thursday. A
bullet wound in the back of the
head Just behind the ear and
slashes across the face and neck
-went to prove that tho man wbb a
victim of foul play. The tragedy
took placo at the barn and the body
was dragged between two feed
stacks and covered with bundles
of fodder. The victim lived alone.
His Ford car was found standing
along the road a short distance
from the scene of the murder.
Ills horses still harnessed were In
tho barn and lot It is thought
that the man had just come In
from work when accosted
by the murderer or murderers.
Motive for tho crime Is not- known
for the man was well liked In tlie
community and if he had an enemy
In tho world nobody knew It. The
fact that some money was on his
person and was not taken leads
ts tho belief that rcbl'sry Mas not
the reaeon for the nttack although
only aw dollars was found and
that niliht have been left as a
ruse. Whether or not he had mon-
ey is not known. The deed might
have been committed to secure the
car for It was evidently taken by
the pcrpretators of tho crime but
"went dead" on them a short dis-
tance out and was abandoned. The
time of tho tragedy was determined
from tho fact that persons living
in thnt vicinity and returning home
from an entertainment Thursday
evening saw the abandoned car
beside the road but of course did
not dream of the foul play to their
neighbor. It wns only after several
las that a neighbor discovered
the horses with their harness on
and apparently very hungry.
Thinking Mr. Longnecker had been
called away unexpectedly ho went
to feed the animals and In lifting
some bundles of feed made the
gruesome .find. Sheriff Brldgewa-
ter was notified at once but to date
no trace of the guilty has been
found. A coroner's inquest con-
ducted by Justico of the Peace El-
lexson returned a verdict of "Mur-
der from cause unknown by un-
known party or parties." The body
was taken to tho undertaking estab-
lishment at Liberal Kansas and
prepared for burial.
