Frank Cathran Drives an Axe into the Back of J. B Dyerle. Out in Grand River township Thursday evening of last week J. B. Deyerle and Frank Cathran, two farmers, became involved in a diffi culty in the road near the residence of H. H. yse, which resulted in Mr. Deyerle being dangerously wounded with an axe in the hands of Cathran. The exact facts of the affair are hard to get at, as both the partici pants in the affair make contradic tory statements as to who was the aggressor. But from constable Andy Owen, of Grand River town ship who had Cathran under arrest, and brought tho prisoner to Butler nday to consult a lawyer, we learn that the trouble between the two men took place on the highway near the residence of H. H. Wyse, and a mowing machine the joint property of Wyse and Deyerle was the cause of the trouble. In passing along the road Deyerle came across Cathran using the ma chine to cut weeds from the side of the road. Mr. D. entered his ob- ections to the use of the machine in this manner. Words passed be tween the men, and finally they came together, and in the fight which fol- owed Deyerle was badly wounded by an axe in the hands of Cathran, the blade of which was driven to the hollow in Deyerle's back just under the right shoulder blade, the wound being the full width of the blade of axe, about inches. The constable said when he saw Mr. Deyerle he was in great pain and about all he would say was. that Cathran came at him with the axe to murder him. Cathran, said the constable.claims that Deyerle came at him with an open knife and that he struck him in self-defense. Mr. Owen said Cathran offered to show him where Deyerle had split his coat in the back with a stroke of his knife, but he refused to make the examination. The constable, however, said it look ed somewhat strange how both men could be cut in the back unless they were running from each other. - Mr. Deyerle also had a bruised place on his forehead, and Cathran explained that by saying he was hurt on the head in the scuffle over the posses sion of the axe. Cathran is a tenant on Dyerle's arm and came from Cedar county ast fall. While Mr. Deyerle is dangerously hurt it is thought by the physicians that he will recover. Since putting the above in type. we learn from the prosecuting at torney that Mr. Deyerle makes the statement that when struck with the axe he was stooping over the ma chine pulling the lever that threw it out of gear and as the quarrel they bad bad was settled, he was not looking for or expecting an at tack. Cathran gave a bond of $500 for his appearance at circuit court. Wt- are placing in stock a line of Capes and Cloaks the like of which has not been seen ia Duller.

Hull went to Wakeeney, Kan , the first of the week to look after harvesting and shipping the crops on Mr. W. E. Walton's farms. Mr. W. has about 3,000 acres of ground in cultivation in that section. Conductor Abell, of the Emporia, in speaking of the big 6torm in Kan sas, Sunday,says in crossing Neosho river bottom he pulled his train for over two miles through water al most up to the fire box of the engine. Big Creek was also out of it's banks and things looked mighty scary in crossing the bridge over that stream. The town of Gridley he said was al most a total wreck, the ..business bouses were flooded with wtfer and the stock of goods all ruined! The heaviest of the storm appeared to be about four miles wid& and the like of rainfall was never witnessed before in that locality. The remains of Ethel, 16 years of age, adopted daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Young, of Kansas City, were brought here for burial Sunday afternoon. Ethel died Friday night, of consumption of the bowels, which disease she had been a great sufferer for a long time. The deceased was one nf a number of children brought to tnia city p-verai yejrs ago by a ew xorK aid society, ana wai a child when adopt-! bj Mr. She was a bright little girl and as she grew in jears also grew in the affection of ber fos t-r parents until sb wa doted -n and f.o sacrifice too great for her prt-nt! that would add to her com fort and happiness. In their afflic tion the parents and relatives of Ethel hav the sympathy of all. The funeral took place Sunday at 3 p. m. from the residence ef James Smith. The G. A. K. encampment at Louisville, Ky., is one of the most pleasant and largely attended en campments ever held. The large attendance of Grand Army men are nearly equaled by their former ene mies, now friends and hosts, the ex confederates who are flocking to Louisville from all over the south to assist the citizens in entertaining their guests. The wind storm which passed over this city Sunday night did no damage, but it was one of the hard est straight blows that has passed over Butler in many years. The wind came from the west and so severe that most of our citizens were aroused from their slumbers and an uneasy feeling prevailed generally. Little or no rain accompanied the storm aud was it just a straight blow from Kansas. The ex-confederates reunion and picnic to be held at White's grove, near Butler, on September 23th, promises to be a very enjoyable affair Arrangements are being made by the local camp for the entertainment of a large number of visitors. Prominent speakers will be there and the old soldiers will recount their hair breadth escapes and fight over the battles of 30 years ago. These picnics and meetings will do much to keep up a fraternal feeling between these old soldiers. Miss Sue Jones, of this city, and Walter M. Comstock, of Tipton, Mo., were married at Mound City, Kansas, Sept. 5th. Both the bride and groom are blind, and formed an attachment for each other while at tending the blind school at St Louis, of which institution both graduated last year. At the close of school June 9th, last,they attempted to marry in St. Louis, but license was refused the young man on ac count of his age. The couple will make their home at Tipton, Mo., where Mr. Comstock is engaged in broom making business. There is nothing to prevent any one concocting a mixture and calling it "earsaparilla," and there is nothing to prevent anyone spending good money testing the stuff; but prudent people, who wish to be sure ot their remedy, take only Ayer's Sarsaparilla and bo get cured. Humor bad it that some Kansas City doctors would make an effort to steal the body of Miss Ethel Young, brought from Kansas City and interred in our cemetery Sunday last. The reason is asserted that the doctors were uncertain of the cause of her death, and begged bard of the family to let them bold a post mortem. Uncle Kit Divers, our faithful guardian of the city of the dead, has been prepared to give ghouls a healthy ehot gun reception, and has been standing guard at nights since he learned of the con templated raid. WHERE ? EXPERIENCE COUNTS If anywhere, is in the prep aration of prescriptions. We find we have doubled our aver age of them a year since we started in business, and be lieve this to be at least half of those written in this city with in that period. These figures afford a preU ty good argument why you should bring such; work to us. Our experience adds nothing to ycur expense;but a good deal to your security. H. Zs. TT7CZER.
