A number of the citizens are discussing the question of a city park. What would be nicer than a nice cool, shady place to go these warm evening. We hope these plans will materialize in the near future and some action be taken concerning the matter.

LAID TO REST The Last Sad Rites of An Honored Citizen KNIGHT TEMPLARS OFFICIATE Assisted by Friends They Consign to the Tomb a Worthy Brother W. S. Brown, who has been in poor health for some time past, died about three o'clock Saturday afternoon.

His death was expected almost any time Col. Brown was one of the best known men in the country. The funeral services of W. S. Brown were held Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, at the family residence on South High street, Rev Iot preaching the sermon.

W. S. or "Osage" Brown as he was familiarly known all over this country because of his large interests in the Osage Nation, was one of the best known men in Southern Kansas. Born in Wyandotte county, Ohio, he first landed in Kansas in 1870, near Baxter Springs, He did not remain long, however, and went to California on a visit to his wife's family, but decided to stay. His wife soon died, and with his family of small children, he went to Ohio, where he and his wife who in were m.rried.

From Ohio he tried ranching in Texas, but that did not suit him, and he returned to Kansas, locating i in Indepenence 1880. He came to Caney sixteen years ago, and since that time has been identified with this city's best interests. Mr. Brown was a man of wonderful physical powers. Probably he has had more up and downs in life than any other man in the county.

He landed in California in 1857, engaging in mining ana ranching when grit, courage and tact, were traits of character necessary to a man's existence. He crossed the mountains at one time on snow shoes, and many were the hair-breadth he had. He made and lost fortunes, but reverses never discouraged him. It was in California that he met and married his first wife, Miss Mary Stratton. To them seven children were born, five of whom still live in and close to Caney.

Since coming to this country, Mr. Brown had giyen his time entirely to farming and stock-raising, his large ranch being on Big Canay river, about twelve miles southwest of town. In this he was eminently successful. He was one of the stock-holders of the Home National bank of this city and one of its advisors whose opinions were regarded as good. W.

S. Brown was an excellent man. He possessed a big heart, and a man in need found in him a true friend, so long as he did right. He was a member of the Presbyterian church, and after he had bidden his family farewell, and the death pallor had come over his countenance it was noticed that he was saying something, and when the ears of one of the family tried to catch the sentence, he was talking about Jesus. For the last four years Mr.

Browa had been a sufferer from heart trouble. He had a desire to live if he could be well because he saw so much in life to live for, but in the last few weeks, time seemed to hang heavy on him, and he often spoke of being anxious for the coming of the death angel. Mr. Brown was 74 years and twentynine days old. His wife, A.

O. W. E. E. E.

Brown, and one daughter, Mrs. J. M. Cunningham, survive him. Twenty-seven Knight Templars of St.

Bernard Commandery No. 10, of which he was an honored member, came down from Independence in the morning to conduct the funeral ceremonies, and were escorted by the A. F. A. M.

of this city. The funeral procession was headed by the Caney Concert Band, followed by a large concourse of his friends and neighbors. Another Rough House Another rough house is reported at the resort in the north part of town Saturday night. This time a fellow from Bartlesville went out for a time, and knocked two of the girls down, so report has it. One of the girls batted him over the head with a glass cane, and as a result he was hardly in a fit condition for arrest upon City Marshal Bishir's in response to a telephone call.

The Friday night affair was disgraceful. Several married men who were in the crowd were arrested. One fellow had to be persuaded out from uuder the porch in a regular rabbit style. This time we will withold the names of those who were caught there but next time we shall respect a man as he respects himself, and it the police judge's docket shows he has appeared in court, we shall treat it is a public matter.

The rouble as we get it, is as follows: Ssmetime ago the Mayor notified the fire department that he desired to appoint a new fire chief, and asked the members to recommend one of their members for the place. The matter drifted along, when the Mayor appointed W. D.

Garr as tire chief, and the council confirmed the appointment. Last night the fire company appear ed before the council asking that the matter be reconsidered, and that L. W. Killion be appointed in place of Mr. Garr.

As Mr. Garr had been regularly appointed to the place, the council did not see fit to ask for his resignation, and Mr. Garr did not see fit to resign. The council told the company that it was willing to allow them to select a fire chief provided they would arrange with Mr. Garr to resign, but that it did not see fit to put him out, when there is no cause.

In Police Court Business has been quiet in police court until Saturday afternoon, when there was a rush. The case of the city of Caney vs. W. L. Pendleton was called just after noon, G.

W. Woods being the complaining witness. Mr. Woods and Mr. Pendleton had trouble over the work on the Pendleton building, which resulted in Mr.

Wood striking Pendleton with a trowl. Pendleton swore out a warrant in Justice Mellwain's court, ana Mr Wood paid his fine. He then made complaint against Mr. Pendleton for disturbing the peace, and the court fined him $1 and costs, amounting to $9.50. In the evening the marshal brought thirteen boys into court forswimming in the "bar pit" as the boys call it along the railroad track.

They were given a good lecture, and Judge Buckley turned them loose, upon their promise not to do so any more. About twenty fellows are up before the police Judge this afternoon. They were captured at bawdy house north of the Mo. Pac. track, said to be opened up last night.

Judging from the crowd attending court, it must be an interesting case. Henry Shafer died at his home two miles east of Caney Saturday afternoon June 10. He was born in Dayton, Ohio, June 19, 1825 and was married to Elizabeth Perrin, Oct 19, 1854. He was the father of eight children of which four and the mother survive him. Mr.
