15, 1878 Last Friday morning a party of five men, well armed, visited the residence of William McDowell, of Avon Township, and took possession of a girl, a sister to one of the party, who had lived with McDowell's family, passing for a daughter for the past three years. The party claimed that the girl, who is now seventeen years old, had been stolen from her friends in Illinois years ago. From Mr. Mark L.

Saloon Girl Stabbing ONE OF DODGE CITY'S UNFORTUNATELY STABS ANOTHER SEVERELY Last Thursday night about ten o'clock a difficulty occurred between two girls in a saloon, in which one of them was severly but it is said not fatally stabbed. The girl wounded is known as Sadie Hudson, and the perpetrator as Bertha Lockwood. They had both just returned from the dance house, and the difficulty was caused by jealousy of a mutual lover. Sadie was stabbed in three different places; one wound pretty near the spinal column under the neck bone, one a little forward, and one in the breast.

A surgeon was immediately called and dressed the wounds, reporting them not dangerous. They were flesh wounds quite deep, but not necessarily mortal. The wounded girl was at once taken to her home in the house known as "the Parlor," and at latest accounts was doing well. The girl who committed the deed was promptly arrested, but is now out on bail. It appears that the two girls had some words when Sadie slapped Bertha in the face, and then the cutting commenced.

Parties possessing silverware marked "HEINZ" will confer a favor on the undersigned by returning same. Chas. Heinz. Bennett's house, boarding Bennett for the rent. On this particular evening they had just eaten supper, when Bennett and McGraw walked into the front room and sat down to play a game of freeze-out for the cigars.

After they had been playing some time McGraw accused Bennett of cheating. Bennett did not deny the accusation, but accused McGraw of cheating also, whereupon McGraw told Bennett he was a liar. In return Bennett told McGraw he was a liar. McGraw said he would not take that in his own house, and immediately drew a large revolver and snapped it twice at Mr. Bennett, missing fire each time, there being some empty chambers in the revolver.

Bennett then drew a self-cocking revolver and shot McGraw three times, killing him instantly. These are the statements of Bennett, which are corroborated by Mrs. McGraw, the wife of the man who was killed. "ARKANSAS" BAD MAN BROUGHT TO JUSTICE BY HAM BELL October 23, 1883 Deputy U. S.

Marshal H.B. Bell of this city, returned Friday morning from Buffalo Park, Kansas, where he arrested Charles Ellsworth, better known as who it is supposed murdered Ellsworth Schuttleman in the latter part of August, who at the time was employed by Mr. Johns. "Arkansaw" at the V. Ranch.

In Dodge City he set up a bank, and built Soule College. The election for permanent county seat was set for October 31, 1887. Cimarron adherents charged flagrant vote buying by Soule's lieutenants over the County, and themselves, dealt with the Foote Township Equalization Society, also called the Dark Lantern Society.

In darkest secrecy, seventy-two farmers in that township had met and figured their combined vote was worth $10,000. On receipt of a bond for that amount signed by fifteeen prominent Cimarron men, seventy-one votes were delivered. But the bond was a forgery, each man having signed the name of another of the group, and the Foote township farmers received nothing. In the election Nov. 8, 1888, both towns claimed victory for their candidates.

The Supreme Court in spite of a dissenting opinion by Chief Justice D. Rasure, of Newton, went to Galena, Kansas, leaving his young and bewitching wife at home. A Mr. Arnold of that town, immediately took it upon himself to supply the absent husband place with Mrs. Rasure.

Arnold and Mrs. and Jack Bliss and Ed Fairhurst were wounded. After the fray was over F.J. Luther discovered that a bullet had gone through his derby hat and clipped off a lock of hair. Of the Ingalls crowd, Ed Brooks of Dodge City, and Geo.

Brooks of Dodge City, and George Bolds and Charley Reicheldeffer, owner and driver of the wagon, were wounded. The Ingalls man withdrew to the bridge over the ditch picked up their wounded and left with Cimarron riders in pursuit. The pursurer were forced to stop by fire from rifles and a buffalo gun. Three Ingalls men, unable to reach the wagon, retreated upstairs to the clerk's office. Shots were fired at them through the floor from the grocery store below.

Late in the afternoon, after a white flag had saved from the window, the marooned men were found perched on the large iron safe to escape the bullits. Escorted under guard to the train, the prisoners were returned to Ingalls, where Sheriff Reynolds promptly turned them loose. On request from the sheriff, who reported that 200 armed men threatened to invade Ingalls, two companies of the state Mlitia entrained that night from Lamed for Cimarron where they stayed till January 25. The county seat remained at Ingalls until, in a special election in February 1893, Cimarron received a majority of votes, and it was returned to Cimarron. to prevent his taking office, Ingalls partisans thought that Cimarron intended, to keep the records regardless of the election of Watson, and made plans to take them by force.

About eleven-thirty, a lumber wagon drove in on the Ingalls road, which at the time was just north of the Cimarron Hotel. Concealed behind the wagon's high box were a number of men, including several Dodge City gunmen deputized by sheriff-elect Reynolds, not present because he had been wounded while chasing rustlers. They unloaded quickly in front of the courthouse and four went upstairs to get the records. The rest stayed on the street below with weapons ready. Upstairs, Watson and the others drew guns and dem-naded the records.

Riley asked for time to let his two children reach safety. They had come to the office that day, as they sometimes did to stay till their father went home to dinner. The children left, then Riley asked for a receipt before giving up the books. This refused, Riley delayed further by saying he had some private papers to sort out. The Ingalls men started carrying the records down stairs.

In the meantime, news of the raid swept through town. As they were loading the last of the books. Cimarron men had arrived and taken cover inside and behind buildings and bullets began to fly both from sides of the street. Who fired the first shot was a matter of dispute. J.W.

English of Cimarron was killed instantly, Cimarron, a bustling cattle and insurance center nineteen miles west of Dodge, got its start because it was the starting point of one of the "Cimarron" or "dry routes" to Sante Fe. Here the Santa Fe Trail divided, one branch heading directly southwest the other (present US50) following the Arkansas river to Bents' Fort (near La Junta, then south over Raton Pass. William Becknell first traveled the dry route with a packtrain via the Cimarron river in 1822, carrying trade goods for Mexico, newly freed from Spain. By 1824, wagons creaked along with loads of calico, guns, tools and shoes to exchange for silver, furs, wool and mules. Trade became of such importance that in 1825 the government surveyed the route in U.S.

territory north of the river, an the Upper Crossing near Chouteau's Island in Kearney County, was recommended because of the shorter distance between the rivers. But despite the danger, the Middle Crossing various points in the Cimarron Ingalls area was used the most. Usually waterless and subject to Indian attacks, the 60 miles of trackless prairie between the Arkansas and Cimarron rivers was called by the Mexicans, Jornada del Muerte, or Journey of Death. Here in 1831, the large, well-equipped train of Jedediah Smith, famous Rocky Mountain explorer and fur trader, became lost in the maze of buffalo trails. Seeking water for the dying animals and suffering, men, Smith finally found the Cimarron but was Skaggs is your number TF A Sad Mistake ordering an officer of the law to halt whose duty calls him to just such places, where hardened criminals are liable to be lurking instead of beardless boys who do not appreciate the danger they are in.

Reynolds, sheriff, both from Ingalls, were elected. The county commissioners claimed Watson's election to be a fraud, and, it is believe, planned to bring proceedings against him Girl's Pitiful Tale Defects Wicked Uncle March 12, 1878 Thursday last, a poor barefooted girl, came tramping into Dodge; with a year-old babe in her arms. Her garments were tatered and torn, her babe naked; and her story such as would ring tears from the heart of a stone, it run thus: "I have since I was five years old, been living with my uncle, who now resides in Pawnee, about thirty-five miles north of Dodge. My uncle has since my earliest recollections ill treated and abused me, he has always kept me isolated from other society than that of himself and family. About nine mouths ago I gave birth to a child, my uncle was the father of the child; he having coercion seduced me on the day before my arrival in Dodge, my uncle was absent from home, I took my babe in my arms; and started for Dodge.

I am afraid of my uncle, because he threatened to kill me if I ever ran away from him." On Saturday morning, the uncle arrived in Dodge searching for the girl. He says that the girl's story from beginning to end is false, and stated that she stole from him when leaving his house, $180, which was done up in a newspaper, and placed under the floor for safe keeping. The Police arrested Mr. Smith on a charge of disturbing the peace, but on promise of his leaving the girl alone in her glory, and departing from Dodge at once, he was permitted to go. The sympathy of our people are decidely with the girl, who is a buxom young woman, aged seventeen.

Strong talk was made on the streets against NEW CARS The unfortunate shooting of the young McDonald last Friday night by Marshal Singer is as deeply regretted by Mr. Singer as it can be by any of the young man's relatives. This shooting was not done to simply keep up Dodge City's former reputation in the art of killing people. It was an unfortunate mishap between two individuals who had no ill will towards each other and who probably never had met before. Meeting in the dark and mistaking each other's purpose, McDonald advanced toward the marshal and called out "stand" at the same time raising his right hand as if presenting a pistol.

The marshal had no time to retrace his steps, and as he thought he was covered with a pistol he immediately raised his pistol and fired, killing McDonald almost instantly. Upon examination it was found that the deceased had no pistol and that his fright at being met with in and out of way place caused him to do what he did in Feb. 6, 1883 This is to certify that CM. Beeson, and W.H. Harris, doing a saloon business in Dodge City, Kansas, under the firm name of Beeson and Harris, has this day been dissolved by mutual consent.

The Santa Fe Trail, nearly 800 miles long with 500 of it in Kansas began successively at the Missouri towns of Franklin, Independence, and Westport. In 1829, because of trouble with Indians, traders began going in big caravans for protection.

The gathering place was Council Grove, where they organized and started in mid-May when grass was sufficient to pasture the animals. Foods supplies per man were 50 lbs. each of flour, and bacon, 20 lbs. each of sugar, rice and beans, and a little salt. Buffalo furnished fresh meat.

It seems as though scarce a county has been settled in the whole of Kansas without two or more town squabbling over which is to be the county seat. Cimarron and Ingalls and Montezuma were all involved in Gary county's choice of a county seat, as follows: January 12, 1889 was the date of Cimarron-lngalls county seat fight, in which a Cimarron man was killed and several from both towns were wounded. iWhen Gray County was organized in 1887, Cimarron, then a town of 1500, won the election for temporary county seat from its nearest rival, Montezuma, in the south part of the county. However, in the early eighties, Asa T. Soule, a patent medicine millionaire from Rochester, N.Y., set out to create an empire in the west, and built a town on the Santa Fe railroad six miles west of Cimarron, which he named Ingalls in honor of the Kansas author-senator, John J.

Ingalls. Soule wanted the county seat for Ingalls, and spent money freely to get it. To gain support from the south part of the county, he built a railroad from Dodge City through Ensign to Monetzuma, and in addition, promised Ensign a sugar mill to process cane, and other Boot Headquarters RENTALLEASE for Southwest Kansas Open Thurs.
