J. L. Yance took a car load of straw-
berries to Denver, Colo, Tuesday of
this week. It went out on the H. &
S. Tuesday afternoon, and was in
Denver the next day. The berries
nearly fiOO crates were from the
patches of our local growers.
From the Bryon Republican.
This part of the country is alive
with agents selling almost everything
from men’s shirts to a threshing
machine outfit. The farmers are
thinking seriously of asking the
governor for a company of the state
militia to guard off the agents while
they tend their crops.
numerous of late. Every morning
sooner or later one or more of these
creek bottom magnates appears at the
kitchen door and requests a hand out.
It is our opinion that these gentle-
men have not met with the usual en-
couragement of late and perhaps the
people who are afraid some of them
might be disguised angles, are grow-
ing less. One thing is pretty sure so
far as the printfng business is con-
cerned, whenever a rush is on these
typographical tourists seldom make
an appearance.
Last Monday a rat in the post office
building attracted a good deal of
attention. The curtain was drawn
In the window occupied by Herb Hill
The rat came out of a hole in the
wall and ran between the curtain and
the glass catching flies with a dex-
terity (hat. would have a spider grjen
with envy. It would take Its paws
and scoop them up and then devour
them. Occasionally it would run to
its hiding place then come forth again
and proceed to the catch. It didn’t
seem to fear the crowd very much.

Ed Brazall shipped his sheep to Kan-
sas City last Saturday. He must be
satisfied with his investment for he
said he would feed another bunch this
year.

the mill will soon be ready for opera-

Joseph Cronkhite dropped dead
last Friday evening about six o’clock.
He had been out in the country to get
a load of hay and had unloaded part
of it at the barn of J. S. Calvert and
was on the way to C. R. Calvert’s, ne
turned the corner at the mercantile
store, and the writer had passed in
front of his team on the crossing and
walked to the sidewalk. We met J.
A. White there and had passed the
time of day when Mr. White noticed
that the team was blockading the
crossing. We went to the wagon and
found Mr. Cronkhite lying on his side
groaning. Both jumped upon the
wagon and tJok hold of the man, but
he only made one noise after being
turned over on his back. Dr. Watson
arrived in about thirty seconds, but
life was extinct. The doctor pro-
nounced it heart failure. The deseas-
ed had been a resident of the town
and near here for the past eight years,
and was known to be a man of quiet
disposition. He held the office of
deputy sheriff at this place since last
fall.

A. B. Newton had a fine cow bring
twin calves recently, the first experi-
ence of the sort he ever had happen
in the twenty five years he has been
farming in Anthony township. One
of the caives is male the other is
female. In such a pair it is very un-
usual for a "Freemartin Heifer” as
the female is called, to ever breed.
The Kansas State Agricultural Col-
lege has a cow that has produced two
calves, that was a “Freemartin” and
she is looked upon by visiting cattle-
men as a great curiousity.
Frank Johnson, who was arrested
last week for shooting at constable
George Crist in Harper, had his pre-
liminary hearing Wednesday. County
Atforney McMahon succeeded in hav-
ing film bound over to the September
term of court on the charge of shoot-
ing with intent to kill. Johnson says
that years ago lie cooked for the Ben-
nett House, when it was under the
management of Uncle George Bennett
later for Bennett Bros, in Oklahoma
City and recently he says he has been
cooking for an Orient grader camp
He was in Harper to see their street
fair and boo/,ed up to Improve his vis-
ion and aim. Deputy Sheriff Warren
Brown brought Johnson- back to jail
where he will summer, as he was un-
able to give bond.
Uncle Jimmie Kephart, who moved
here last fall from Oklahoma, was de-
clared insane by the probate court
Friday of last week and was taken to
the Osawatomle asylum Monday by
under-sheriff Jerry Rhoads. Mr. Kep-
hart was In the asylum in Oklahoma
for more than a year, and was sup-
posed to be cured of his mental trou-
ble. Hisadvaned age, being seventy-
six years old preludes much hope of
his getting better. In spite of his age.
Mr. Kephart is quite strong and act-
ive, his being brought before the pro-
bate court was in great part due to a
fight he had with a neighbor in which
he gave a good account of himself.
Mr. Rhoads says he made,him the
most trouble of any person he ever
took to the asylum. He tore down a
curtain in the car, threshed things
with the curtain rod and when they
had to change cars at Yates Center fie
lay down in the aisle and refused to
budge so had to be carried out. To
prevent him annoying other passeng-
ers in the next car he was put in the
smoking compartment where he pro-
ceeded to strip and then pretended fo
faint when he found that Mr. Rhoads
just pulled the curtains to the smok-
ing room and let him enjoy his decol-
lete. Mr. Rhoads says Mr. Kephart
was one of the most expensive patients
ever sent to the asylum, the total cost
of the examination, clothes and other
items being nearly or quite two hun-
dred dollars.
—Charley Morawitz has the thanks
of the Journal fora bucket of fine
strawberries, grown on his farm
southwest of town. He says his
berries did very well this year, ne is
an expert when it comes to growing
anything in this line, as the size of
the berries show.

H.J. Green is figuring on building
the Christian church at Manchester,
ne says it will be impossible for him
to build it until after harvest.
Some sneak thief entered the home
of Z. T. Mohler, living northeast of
town last Saturday night. Mr.
Mohler, who was sleeping up-stairs,
was awakened by the noise and
grabbed his gun and run down stairs,
but the thief escaped through the
front door. He got nothing except
some cheese cToth sashes Mrs. Mohler
had made for the little girls to wear
tothe Sunday school convention.

The Santa Fe bridge over Bluff
Creek between Crystal Spriogs and
Attica burned Wednesday about noon.
The fire was not discovered until the
entire bridge was in flames. The east
and west bound passenger trains due
at Harper at 12:30 both met at the
creek and the transfer of passengers
and merchandise were made. The
night passenger from the east came
to tliis city and remained until the
next morning. No. 301 was run in
several sections that night, being
loaded with excursionists for the
southwest, and all were tied up until
a temporary bridge was erected. Five
train outfits spent Wednesday night
in the city and the Harper eating
houses done a big business.

A man living in the third ward was ]
in sore trouble Sunday. He and his
wife had some words and trouble f
about money matters and she left
home. He waited for her return but
she came not. Then he got scared I
and began to think she had really left
him for good. He got very much ex-
cited about it all and went several
places looking for her. Then he tried I
to get a horse to make a run into the
country after the fleeting woman but
he could not arrange the price. It
was a day of agony for him but at the
eventide the wife came back. She
had only been ivsiting some friends
and had not told him just where she
intended to visit.
A couple of peace-loving and quiet
citizens got letters this week that
put up in the government envelopes]
and didn’t need to be stamped. They
thought they had drawn prizes or
pensions and each opened his letter
quickly and read it eagerly. It was
all very disappointing aud dishearten-
ing. The letters said that they had
charge of certain pieces of public I
roads in the county along which ]
whirled the Uncle Sam chariots car-
ring mail to the farmers from Anth-
ony. The letters charged that these
men had allowed their pieces of road
to get in bad repair or bad repute and
that they must get busy and fix them
or Mr. farmers would get no more
mail. And the strapge thing about
it all is that neither of the gentlemen
have a thing to do with the public
roads except to travel them. Tne j
local post-otfice has got such a system
of errors by which it does business |
that it is leading the general post-
otfice department into erroneous ways |
of thiukiug and writing.
