MAYFIELD. Three young tramps called at the commercial hotel in this city one day last week and asked for something to eat. Mr. Canada, the proprietor, refused them and they went away muttering something about "he would pay for it" but no attention was paid to their threats.

Please change my address to 3008 Park Avenue, where I have opened an office and anxiously await the "coming throngs." No trouble to go from the Democratic to the Republican parties in St.

follow the crowd." Rev. McCormick preached a powerful sermon at the Methodist church last Sunday evening. It was plain, but to the point: it was the doctrine of love to God and all mankind; "peace on earth, good will to men;" it was a rebuke to Pharisees, to the sneaking, carping make-believe christian who delights in tearing down a character rather than to help build one. It was a message of good cheer such as Christ taught in the land of Judea. C.

D. Myers, the absconding president of the Greensburg bank, was arrested in California last week and the Sheriff of Kiowa county has now, gone to that state with a requisition for his return to Kansas. We are also informed that Nelson, the cashier of the bank, is under arrest at Greensburg. The TIMES don't want to see anyone in trouble but the fact that this man Myers took the TIMEs for about six years and then refused to pay for it causes us to be a little economical when it comes to shedding tears over his misfortunes. Judge Bashore closed court in Kingman Tuesday evening and opened the May term of court in this city Wednesday morning.

To a TIMES reporter the judge said that the reported arrest of Editor Albaugh for contempt of court at Kingman was not correct but gives the facts in the case as follows: Albaugh used very harsh language in his paper concerning certain decisions by the judge and if not in contempt of court came very near it and the judge appointed a committee of six to and report whether or not they considered Albaugh's actions to be in contempt of court. Four of the committee did not think it was strong enough to amount to contempt and two said it ought to be considered contempt. The majority being against implicating Albaugh, the matter was dropped and no arrests were made as reported in the daily papers..
