They are in the fight. It was thought they had begun to disintegrate, but they don't seem to show it. They have held state and congressional conventions, are well organized, haye plenty of funds and are confident. They will contest the entire field and expect to carry the legislature, and so give Peffer a colleague of the same political faith as himself." Italy is suffering for silver coins.

Balfour Stot While Hating an Arrest THE BLOOD-THIRSTY DEVILS MOUNT AND ESCAPE. OQcers In Hot Pursuit. The Funeral Wednesday. In common with all other patriotic people, the residents of Southeast Ed wards county and Northeast Kiowa county united in a celebration on the Fourth at Pryor's Grove, just across the line in Edwards. The usual manner of commemorating our date of national birth was observed, including games of various kinds and racing.

On Saturday last, two young men, Ellsworth Wyatt and Chas. Bailey came to Greensburg and put up at Roberts' livery barn, and after leaving, it was discovered that they had stolen a watch belonging to young Roberts and some halters. On Saturday night a warrant was sworn out for their arrest for the larceny and placed in the hands of Constable A. W. Balfour for service, in the absence of Sheriff Bonsall in Iowa.

Learning that the man he wanted would be at Pryor's Grove on the Fourth, Officer Balfour, accompanied by Geo. D. Brown, of this city, drove np there. Both the men wanted were there and recognized. In the course of the morning, after satisfying himself that the man Wyatt was in possession of the stolen watch, Mr.

Balfour attempted the arrest. He was at once warned by Wyatt to desist, but like the fearless man he was Mr. Balfour produced the warrant and began reading it. At this moment some friend coming up, asked, "What are you doing, Bal An instant only Balfour looked around and in that instant Wyatt drew a gun and shot him just below the heart. Balfour fell but drawing his revolver, fired three times at his assailant, shooting twice through his coat grazing his hips and once through the palm of his left hand.

Meanwhile the crowd scattered, and the murderers mounting swift horses, rode hastily away. Mr. Balfour was tenderly cared for, but the deadly missile had done its fatal work; and in thirty minutes after the shot was fired his soul winged in accusing flight to the impenetrable beyond. The news was brought to Greens-burg by Mr. Brown who was distant some two or three hundred yards at the time of the shooting.

Immediately a large force of men headed by Geo. W. Melville ieft to intercept the murderers, but learned on arrival at Havi-land that they had already crossed the tracks of the railroads and were headed for the Indian lands. Not being accoutred for a long chase, the party returned, and bright and early Tuesday morning steps were taken to make an organized, successful chase. A meeting of citizens was held at the Mayor's office, and $155 in cash was raised in four minutes for immediate use of a pursuing party.

A. O. Grimes, of Wellsford, a cool, determined man, a quick and deadly shot, and a warm, personal friend of the murdered man. took the leadership. He then selected for his assist ants, John T.

Sidener, for many years foreman of the ranche during the days when to hold such a position on the plains meant skill with a Winchester and familiarity with every foot of ground from the Pan-Handle of Texas to the Arkansas river: J- O. Hereford, of Greensburg, a skilled trailer; and Frank Able, of Glick, a man whose fearless courage and quick action is not less noted than his associ ates on this perilous pursuit. At this writing they are pursuing a hot trail, a fresh clue having been obtained at Ev-ansville, Comanche county, where the killers had stolen fresh horses and gone on South. Should Grimes and his party over take the devils It is safe to presume they will not make use of the warrants he carries for their arrest unless he perforates their hides with it wrapped around a Winchester ball. When they overtake them, somebody will die.

This Funeral. Soon after the shooting, the body of the dead officer was taken to the home of Wm. Anderson, at one time a resi dent of Kiowa county and whose P. O. address is now Fellsburg, near where the tragic event occurred.

Monday evening Messrs. Clarence Frazier, H. Benningfield and Seva Lee went after the body, returning Tuesday after an inquest had been held oyer the body by the coroner of Edward's countv. The finding of the coroner's jury has not yet been given to the public A. W.

Balfour was at the time of his death slightly over forty-one years of age, in the prime of manhood. He was born in Illinois, and lived for a number of years in and around Augusta, that state. His parents are still living and reside there. The funeral under the auspices of the Knights of Pythias was conducted on Wednesday, from the house, follow ed by a concourse of citizens, the busi ness houses very generally closing out cf respect to the deceased. Rev.

L. J. Parker conducted a short service at the house. He leaves a wife and six chil dren to mourn his unpnely A kind, indulgent father, a loving husband, an order loving citizen and respected neighbor, A. W.

Balfour was a man wnose loss wui oe ieit by many and deplored by all. He was a mem ber in good standing of the Knights of Pythias and Independent Order of Forresters. He carried a thousand dollar life insurance in the latter society which accrues to the benefit of his wife and family. Thk Pursuit.

A horrible accident occurred near Haviland on the fourth, in a harvest field. A short time since a family by name of Bailey came up from Oklahoma and moved into the house on the Fred Orton farm. Last Monday, the little girl aged twelve volunteered assistance and was placed as a rider on the front team of a heavy self binder. The rear team becoming unmanageble frightened the leaders, the little girl was thrown to the ground and the machine passed over her severing a finger in the guards, breaking the bones of one arm and most horribly mutilating her face. Care is bestowed on her, but little hopes of recovery are entertained.

Sheriff Bonsall returned from Iowa Wednesday where he went with requisition papers for II. L. Prather the late Wellsford druggist convicted in the last term of court of illegal sale of liquor. Gov.Bois of Iowa refused point blank to sign the requisition papers, saying the laws of Iowa did not provide for criminal prosecution in such cases. Bonsall failed to bring back his man but he brought a draft to re-imburse Prather's bondsmen, and the case is ended.

The action of Gov. Bois in this matter explains the big democratic vote in Iowa, the refuge of liquor sellers and thugs of every description. County Fair. Now that the Fourth is over, harvest is half over, the corn laid by and a breathing spell ensues, let us all take up the idea of a county fair and push it to successful completion. We have here in Kiowa county as good agricultural products as anywhere in the state.

Let us show them on exhibition and convince all doubters that Kiowa is the equal if not the superior of any county anywhere. We can make the showing if we wish to. We have the stuff All that is necessary is for each one to chip in and aid a little, and the intelligent, well directed effort of the people of Kiowa county will result in glorious success. Every citizen who feels interested in the future of Kiowa county should work to make the county fair undertaking a success in every particular. Many things may yet be added to our rapidly swelling premium list.

We need more premiums on stock of all kinds, more especially bulls, cows, calves, mules, horses, mares, colts and sheep. There are many grades and all should bring their best to exhibit. Premiums should be offered for best match teams, for best roadsters, for best lady riders, for best single drivers, for best brood mares, etc. Please report at once to your township committeeman what you will do, and be in turn will instantly report it for publication.

This is a glorious free country.

Frank McGrath, ex-president of the Kansas Farmers' Alliance, is out in a letter stating he is out of the order and will hereafter affili ate only with good Republicans McGrath meant to say he had work ed the Alliance as long as he could and was compelled to retire, but he got the words mixed a little. When the west asks for "protect' ion" the Republican party begins to shout Appomattox, Gettysburg and "Marching Through Georgia." When the south asks for relief from the momentary stringency which Is par alyzing the industries of that sec tion, the Democrats begin to talk about the threatened "force bill.1 How long are the people to be hum bugged this way by the Wall street and their gold bug auxilia ries?

The fact is the United States uses three per cent, more silver in a standard dollar than any other nation, and it is not at all probable that any nation, corporation or individual will ship foreign ore to our mints and pay the cost of transportation to have it coined up into less money than they could get it coined into at the mints of their own country.

One on Harrison. Washington, D. July 2. Ex-Senator Farewell, of Illinois, is even with President Harrison. He has bided his time to pay the presidentback for the insults put upon him dy the little man at the white house, and it is the opinion of everybody in Washington to-day that the debt is paid with interest.

Just the same he places the president in a most unenviable position, and one from which he will find it difficult to extricate himself. He also pillories Chairman Cambell in a manner that would do justice to a lord of the inquisition. Washington is in a roar over the spectacle. The Post to-day published the following card Chicago, June 29, 1892. Editor Post: I see by the newspapers that at the urgent solicitation of the president of the United States, William James Cambell, of Illinois, has been made chairman of the national Republican committee.

Some three years ago, more or less, while I was in the senate of the United States, I recommended a gentleman by the name of William J. Cambell for the office of collector of customs of Chicago. All the republican members of congress recommended this gentleman at the same time for this office. The president said that he was a professional lobbyist and unfit for this position, and that he would not appoint him. Will you be kind enough to inform me whether the Cambell appointed chairman of the national commfttee at the urgent request of the president is the same Cambell whom he refused to appoint to a federal position pecause he was a "professional lobbyist and unfit for it?" C.

B. Farewell. The Fighting Ground of the War. From the beginning to the end of the war the states of Virginia, Maryland and West Virginia were the constant scene of conflict between the contending armies, and there, was hardly a day during the four years when the sound of battle have been heard in one or the other of them. They are, therefore, rich In associations, and the very names of the stations as they are announced on the trains, passing through this historic region, call up memories of the terrific struggle which took place here thirty years ago.

Harper's Ferry, Antietam, Manassas, Spottsylva-nia. Culpepper, Fairfax, Martinsburg and Appomattox rise in review as we pass; and Gettysburg, the one great battlefield on northern soil, is not far distant. It will be pleasure to the soldiers of the Union- to visit these scenes. Thousands there are, no doubt, who have not done so since the war. And now, when the Grand Encampment is to be held at Washington, it will afford an opportunity to the Veter ans such as they have never had, to review the numerous battlefields of this region.

In choosing a route to the Grand Encampment care should be taken to select lines which pass over this historic ground. 'v From the west, the Ohio Missis sippi railway runs through car lines to Washington in connection with the Baltimore Ohio road, passing throughWest Virginia, Maryland and Northern Virginia, with Clarksburg, Ferry and Maryland Heights on the way and forming the direct line to Gettysburg. Or, by taking the Ohio Mississippi railway in connection with the Chesapeake Ohio route, we pass through the very heart of the OldDo-minion, the scene of some of the heaviest fighting of the war. No other routes to Washington can present so much of interest to members of the Grand Army asrthese, and it should not be forgotten that from St.Louis and the west the Ohio Mississippi Railway is their direct and best connection.
