A Kansas Desp erado Valley Falls. Jan. 6. Last Friday night a young desperado by the name of Charles Cobb, went to a country school house entertainment near Valley Falls and raised a serious disturbance.

Saturday morning warrants were issued for his arrest and placed in the hands of Constable Wizer. lie, in company with his son, Robert Wizer, went to Cobb's residence to arrest him. This he refused to have done and made a desperate fight, killing the constable by shooting him through the body, and wounding his son so badly that he will lose an arm. The villain was still at large last evening. He is about nineteen years of age.

Sheriff Davis, of Jefferson county, came over and had Gov. St. John offer 500 for the bandit's arrest.

After a week of hard work on the part of the judge and attorneys, and a tedious sitting of a jury of twelve able bodied men, this trial has at last been brought to a close.

The case was handed over to an intelligent set of jurymen Monday afternoon, and after they had remained out only thirty minutes, they returned and rendered a verdict of murder in the second decree. The judge bus not yet passed sentence. All our readers know the character of the fracas in which Bill Bean met his fate last spring, and a repetition of the facts of tho affair would only bo wearisome to our readers.

From the Emporia Republican. "Prof. P. J. Carmichael and L.

S. Page went to Council Grove last Friday by Invitation of Crcsceut Lodge No. 7, Select Knights of A. O. V.

to assist in tho installation of their officers for the ensuing term. They were met at the depot by a committee who conducted them to the cottage of Mrs. L. Mead, where they were very kindly and hospitably entertained during their stay. Tne installation was public and took place at the church.

The ceremony was very impressive and was witnessed by a large number of citizens. At its conclusion the Knights and ladies were invited to repair to the basement, where a banquet bad been prepared which reflected great credit on the ladies and members who had this work in charge. When all had done ample justice to the tempting viands, the order was given to tall into line and march to. the court bouse, where the music was iu waiting, and the nicely waxed floor tempted the devotes of Terpischore to engage in the pleasing pastime of tripping the light fantastic till the small hours. After the completion of the programme, the unanimous verdict was that the entire entertainment had been a complete success.

Mrs. E. A. Moore accompanied bcr brother, Mr. Page, and we are requested by the Emporia delegation to extend their hearty thanks to Crescent Lodge for courtesies extended to them.

A. O. U. W. INSTALLATION.

The Banquet and Ball a Complete Success Socially and Financially. The cntertalnmcutof the Select Knights A. O. IT. on last Friday night, was a grand affair and a complete success throughout.

There was some little delay at the start, owing to the organ being a little out of whack, but this was overlooked and everything else on the programme went off like clock-work. E. S. Bertram culled the house to order, and announced the opening ode, which was rendered by the choir in beautiful style. Grand Com-niauder Carmychacl, of Emporia, was then introduced, and delivered tho address, which was listened to with' Interest by the large audience.

Part of the programme being omitted, the installation of officers was next in order. The regalia and trappings of the members added to the brilliancy of the affair, and the many signs, figures and movements connected with the exercises seemed to please the visitors very much. The following officers were elected for the year 1S83 C. L. Knight, select commander; U.

C. Finney, vice commander; F. E. Upton, lieutenant commander; F. P.

Behnng, recording treasurer W. F. Shamleffer, financier C. W. Talinagc, select recorder, and T.

K. Johnston, trustee. The supper was prepared by the wives of the legion members, aud many compliments were passed for the very creditable manner in which this part of the entertainment iraa attended to. It was an elegant feast and was a credit to the ones interested in getting it up. After supper about seventy-five couples repaired to the court house, where good music and everything else was in readiness for a daucc.

There has never before, in our recollection, been so large, happy and respectable a lody of ladies and gentlemen ever assembled on such an occasion. During the entire evening there was nothing to disturb in the least the hurmouy and good feeling that prevailed. Dancing was kept up until about 2 o'clock A. M. The att'ttir from beginning to end was full of enjoyment, and will long be held in remembrance as one ot the most pleasant social events ever given In Council GroVe.

Tho Lodge, and especially the members who bad charge of the exercises are eutitled to great praise for the attention the guests received aad for the manner in which they were entertained. We are glad to say that the receipts were more than satisfactory to the Lodge. Bob. Md'heroon oblpped a car of fat bog Tueadny rooming.

An editor In Arkansas had his leg broken the other day while attempting to place a safe in his office. It editors will persist la doing such foolish things, they ought to have their lugs broken.
