"Desperadoes" Captured After a Desperate
Struggle.
After a fierce battle (of juveniles)
■eitfht desperate "desperadoes" were
•captured rn the act of upsetting various
"buildings belonjrintf to certain citizens
•last Saturday, llallowe'n night. Xight
Watch Carl Couch, with several daring
■deputies, succeeded in capturing the
gang and placed them in the city ice
chest, or •'quay.'' Judge Perkins was
aroused from his peaceful slumber, and
soon the ini• 1 of justice was grinding in
the juvenile court.
One of the gang said that he was sick
of being a city boarder and would
peacefully go home to ma and not break
any more furniture. One on being ques-
tioned by the judge said thut he telt as
if he "could turn over a few more." He
and three others were placed back in
durance vile to cool off until morning.
The lest were let loose after a kind lec-
ture by His Honor. If the gang had
•only removed the wooden sidewalks on
Main street that are in direct opposition
•to a city ordinance, they would have
had the blessings of the citizens.
<£acei Postponed.
Owing to the rainy 'Weather which
^prevailed from Saturday until Wednes-
day morning, the races and amusements,
which were to take place in Hennessey
•on the 4th and 5th, have been postponed
for one week, and the date is now the
41th and 12th—next Wednesday and
Thursday. We want all our farmer
friends to come in, either one day or
both, and enjoy the races and amuse-
ments. A good program has been ar-
ranged for amusing events to take
place on Main street on the forenoon of
each day. The races will be held at
the fair grounds on the afternoon of
both days.
There are at least fifteen horses en-
tered, and purses will be given in each
event, besides prizes in'the amusement
events in the forenoon. Hennessey has
arranged for this two day's racing meet
and the other entertainments for the
farmers especially, and a pressing invi- .
tation is extended to all of them to
bring their families in and have a food
time. Remember that Hennessey pays
the bills, and a good time is assured ev- i
erybody.
The dates — next Wednesday and
{Thursday, November l«th and 12th. [
Must Be Different Kinds.
In last week's Hennessey Press-Demo-
crat we notice that two of the citizens
of that place were bitten by mad dogs
last week. We also notice that in both
cases the madstone was applied, that in
one case it "adhered" to the affected
part for thirty-six hours and in the other
case for fifteen hours. We have had
some experience with two or three mad
stones on several different occasions and
we have yet to see one of them "adhere"
or "cling" to a wound. In every case
that came under our observation the
madstone was bandaged on the wound
and was taken off and cleansed every
three or four hours, by dipping it in
sweet milk. The stone would show a
sort of greasy discoloration when re-
moved and would color the milk a dirty
green color. When the stone ceased to
show the spot when taken from the
wound the poison was declared to be
eliminated. It is possible, though, that
there may be-madstones that "cling."—
Kingfisher Free Press.
Now, wo are not up on "madstoneolo-
gy," but it has always been our under-
standing that when a madstone is ap-
plied to a mad dog bite, the stone "ad-
ders," if there is any hydrophobiaic
poison in the wound. Wo have never
heard of a madstone being "bound"
on the wound, and if it was necessary
to bind the stone on the wound, we
should think that any kind of porus
stone would answer the same purpose.
Mr. Thomas, one of those who had
the madstone applied to the dog bite,
and the stone "adhered" for fifteen
hours, tells us that the stone did "ad-
here," and tnat it stuck to the wound
for as long as six hours at a time. The
stone was not "bound" on the wound,
but simply placed there and it stuck
the same as if the stone had a suction.
Mr. Thomas says that he could walk
around the house with the stone stick-
ing to his leg, and that it stayed there.
Another thing the Hennessey madstone
is not "dipped in sweet milk," but is
soakod in warm wa'er to draw the poi-
son out of it. The madstone that the
Free Press man has had experience
with must have been some other kind of
stone, if it had to be "bound" to the
wound.
Twenty-one members of the Hennes-
sey K. of P. lodge went to Kingfisher
last Thursday night to confer the degree
of Knight upon five members of the
Kingfisher lod^e. The boys report a
most delightful time, and say that the
candidates that took the degree were
well taken care of. Our boys were roy-
ally entertained by the members of the
Kingfisher lodge.
SIDELIGHTS.
My Lewis Lye.
Facts are not always cold.
Papa Bleistein hadn't better raise a
"mustache."
We have the inside hunch that the
new pope is to resign.
Don't make sheep's eyes at the butch-
er when mutton is up.
By careful attention Roll Blackburn
may raise that mustache yet.
If $fiarlie Rathbun would only lot us
catch a glimpse of that girl?
□ How does your pump work, Jessie'
As well as could be expected?
O. B. Kidney has discovered that tow-
els are a good substitute for socks.
If a herring and a half cost a farthing
and a half how much would that bo for
one?
Lost—Five hours of good sleep. Find-
er please notify Kodak Armantrout or
Chinaman Curtiss.
With due regard to his feelings we
must admit that Conley is losing some
of his hair.
Between Carrie Nation, Dowie and
municipal elections, New York City is
having a warm time.
We don't believe that story about
Swim losing his socks in Kingfisher, bo-
cause ho never wears them.
If Mark Hanna counted the votes on
election day how long would it be be-
fore Bryan quit the free silver deal?
The latest alarmist reports aro that a
meteor has tried to knock the sun out.
The now scare is as bad as the Borielii
comet.
At least Block has put in a new wood-
en sidewalk on the north side. How
about that brick, stone or cement side-
walk in front?
"The plans of mice and men ofc glang
aglee." One plan of Armantrout's and
Curtiss' at Kingfisher last Thursday
night went that way.
Elmer Swim says that the next time
he goes to Kingfisher ho intends to take
a dozen pairs of socks along, to be used
in a case of emergency.
If we had a name like Lady Lyster-
Kaye has we'd sure change it. And
her name was Miss Yzanaga before she
was married, too.
If it takes two sailors six minutes to !
drink six "schooners,"«how long would
it tike Hobson to kiss a girl without
making a "Merry(s)mack?"
If a rooster with one bum eye would
crow early enough to awaken a boy on
circus day, how long would George
Bear resist the temptation to. tell a
story ?
But hero is one for you' If it takes
sixteen seconds for an old maid to give
an answer to a proposal how much
nerve would it take for the guy to pro-
pose ?
Yes, Mr. Y&nderbilt has got permis-
sion to close a public highway on Long
Island, but if one of us poor suckers
stood in an alley five minutes the police
would do the arrest act for blockading
traffic.
If the left hind toe of a giraffe was as
long as a Missouri mule with the
mumps, could stretch its hind foot tow-
ard a negro's cranium, how long will it
bo beforo the K. P.'s get to wearing
socks again?
A few more "Ann Gags:"
If a bologna sausage three foot long
will till a Dutchman five feet, eight
inches tall, how much more circulation !
would the Eagle get if Hutch took long- >
er steps?
Hot cakes, with dirty socks on the i
side, seems to be a favorite dish with
the Hennessey K. of P's when they go
to Kingfisher. Out of the twenty-one
of our boys who went down last Thurs- i
day night eighteen came back a la Jerry
Simpson. It looks bad for the other two.
The best answer we can give to the
Ann question George, is, that if the age
of Mary is as old as the egi^s of a sick
hen fed on limburger cheese and mus-
tard plasters, Ann would be as old as
the back teeth of a cannibal king who
has eaten three missionaries, fried in
oleo and canned in K. C.
At the Wellington carnival'last week
a novel balloon ascension was made
when Monseur De Morietta was fired out
of a cannon attached to the balloon with
a parachute, which opened and let him
safely down after going to a height of \
3,000 feet. Charlie Ball seems to think
the report is all "hot air." Well, you
know balloons run that way, Charles.
Physicians Prescribe It.
Many broad minded physicians pre-
scribe Foley's Honey and 'l ar, as they
have never found so safe and reliable a
remedy for throat and lung troubles as
this great medicine. Saur's drug store.
