A terrific wind storm passed over

The most damage was done at the

cable of the building was blown

block, leaving the entire inside of
Albert Taylor ball open to the storai
of rain. The damage to the build
ing is estimated to be $1U,0UU, and
it was feared that the wiod would
blow the other walls out as it ha
full seep at the damaged part of
the building. In the city, Clark

tially unroofed and the stock greatly

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.

J. W. 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.
