■Youthful Shooter.
There arc two families-Fred and
Dave Koebrick. They live on adjoin-
ing lots in the south part of town
Fred has three boys and Dave but one
Fred’s boys have an advantage over
Dave’s hopeful on account of numbers
and they are inclined to impose on
him to pick on him, and to generally
torment him. But Dave’shoy got tired
of being picked at by his little coup
.ins, and although only six years ot
ago, made up his mind to teach those
Fred kids a lesson.
So he goes into the bouse gels the
shot gun and a load of bird shot, loads
the gun and goes to the window. On
of his cousins approached the win-
dow which was open. The boy with
the gun cried “I’ll shoot you! ami
raised the gun and fired, t he o) on
the outside stooped just m time to es-
cape the full charge but not soon
enough to save himself from getting
some scattering ehot in the face nor
in getting his face terribly powder
burned. The shot flew across the
street and through the door of Fred
Koebrick’e house but did no further
damage.
Beiisted an Officer.
Last Monday morning Geo. Capera

GUY HA.iNUM INJURED.
List Friday afternoon while on hia
way to Oklahoma City on the local
freight train, Guy Hannuin was
thrown from the caboose and serious-
ly injured. As the train went over
the grade about a mile this side of
the Oitv the caboose broke loose
Horn the rest of li.e train, causing Hie
caboose to jerk in such a manner that
Guy was thrown from the front end
of it to tlie track below. The caboose
passed over him and cut off one of
his big toes, fractured his collar
bone, cut a four-inch gash in his
s 'alp and bruised his face severely.
The boy was taken to his mother’s
homo in Oklahoma Oity, and is receiv
ing good care. He will recover but
his condition was dangoron for a
few da} s.
Decoration Day Program.
The city council met on Tuesday
night and transacted some important
b as i ness.
Among other things the city attor-
ney was instructed to draw up an or-
dinance for the inclusion of tlie sev-
eral recently platted additions to the
city within tbe corpora, o l im'is.
An ordinance was also drawn up
providing that in the future all side
walks within the fire limits be con-
structed of brick, stone or cement.
A committee wts appointed to open
the road on the east side of the city-
park. A Bidewalk, was orderd to he

was held up and r bbed in Kl K 110,

Joe saw him with it. Joe was sitp-
i posed to have gone north on tbe
Rock Island Tuesday, but for Home
reason failed to do so. lie and Oan-
nady met during the afternoon. They
drank together ilnd Joe seemed to be
following Oannady.
In (be evening they entered the
Senate saloon to drink, and there
was introduced to “Jones” and oth-
ers. Here they were throwing dice
lor the drinks. A dispute arose as to
who should pay for them, and Oan-
nady to save trouble olfered to pay.
So he pulled out a roll of bills and no -
sooner had he done this tivati the
m-.nt-y was grabbed from him, and
alter a little scrapping the robbers
escaped out of the house beiore as-
sistance came.
Oannady then rushed out and called
an officer who was approaching and
til, follow named Jones was arrested.
Later tlie little old lame man who had
grabbed the money and whose picture
it is claimed can be found in the
rogue’s gallery, was discovered at
D ive Sharpe’s house and arrested. On
his person the officials found a roll of
money amounting to about 380, and a
couple of rolls ot cou.i . it money.
Then “Joe,” the fellow who came
over with Oannady from Oklahoma
Oity was captured. He protests his
innocence, although it is evident
that he was legging for the su Iters
for the other fellows to rob, either as
in this instance or at the gaming ta-
ble. A fourth man and whose photo-
graph also appears to be in the
rogue’s gallery, is still at large at this
writing.
Public sentiment was very bitter
against tlie robbers and a leader could

In Justice Mitts’ court last Fri( y
a gambler named Conner, was cun.
victed by a jury, of using obso ne
language in the presence of ladies at
the Kerfoot Hotel and was fined 351)
and costs. The defense consisted
chiefly in an effort to besmirch the
characters of the ladies in question
which would have been no defense if
true.
Judge Mitt’s is to be congratulated
on his judgment. The limit of the
law should be applied iu such cases.
