Patterson, and Mr. Draper last Saturday, on Coal Rock Creek, thirty miles east of this place, at the house of Mr. Johnson. He made his escape by chipping the wood with a hatchet and burning the door of the jail. The hatchet used he claimed to have stolen from Bowen's Grocery. After his escape he laid out in the grass near Pat Somers' place all day and all night, and then went to houses on the Walnut, where he was fed by people knowing him to be the identified thief who had escaped. He was delayed two days on account of not finding the Walnut River bridge, but afterwards crossed it and went to Grouse creek and from thence to Coal Rock creek, where he was taken. Traveler.

WINFIELD COURIER, MAY 29, 1874.
                                                       Horse Thieves Caught.
Two men, William Gilmore and Francis J. Seltz, who have been stopping at the mouth of Grouse for some weeks, and of whom we spoke last week, warning the people to look out for them, were overtaken and captured on the Shawkaska river, by Curry, Keho, Blair, and Roberts, last Sunday morning. The men took the horses from the Kaw Agency on Thursday night, came up Grouse creek, and were going west. The horses belonged to Big and Little Lewis Pappan; half breed Kaw Indians. The horses were missed at daylight, and the Indians started in pursuit, tracking them all the way to Bolton township, where they received the first news of them. Pappan's horses were tired out and he persuaded the above mentioned men to follow them on Saturday night, by whom they were captured the next morning.

At sight of the men the thieves ran and were only stopped by the firing of Curry. Seltz received the shot from Curry's carbine, the ball entering near the wrist and paralyzing his arm. At this, the thieves gave themselves up and begged to be well treated. On Monday morning they were arraigned before Justice McIntire and plead not guilty. The preliminary trial was waived, and the parties were bound over to appear at the district court in the sum of $1,000. Failing in bond, they went to jail.
WINFIELD COURIER, JULY 10, 1874. SALT SPRINGS. Judge Peffer, Col. J. C. McMullen, E. P. Kinne, Mr. Loomis, and several ladies, also the "Special Contrib­utor," visited the salt works on the 6th. We found Judge McIntire, superintendent of the works. Our July sun is doing the handsome thing for these just now, giving a product of a ton per week.
There are also springs containing, apparently, glauber's salts and other minerals in solution. We concluded the "warm spring" to be caused by the action of the solar heat.
Traveler.
WINFIELD COURIER, FRIDAY, JULY 14, 1874.The Salt Springs.
In company with W. W. Walton, our efficient county surveyor, who kindly furnished the rig, we tripped over to the Salt Springs last Monday, where we arrived just in time for dinner, of which we were bountifully supplied at the "Mills" House. There we met J. T. Hall, formerly of the Valley House of this place, who expects to do the honors for the new Hotel, which they hope to build in a short time. After dinner we went down to see the "Springs," which spurt out in a low flat, near the Arkansas river. There we found Judge McIntire and son, busy filling and refilling the vats, in which, by the action of the sun, the brine is crystalized.
WINFIELD COURIER, JULY 31, 1874.
                                                                 Base Ball.
The Eldorado base ball club of Eldorado, played the Fron­tiers of this place a match game of ball on the grounds of the latter last Saturday, which resulted in the victory of the Frontier's by a score of 35 to 38. On the side of the Eldorado's, Gossard caught two fair flies, Shryer two, and Myers one. McIntire caught nine fouls, put one out on three strikes, and one out on home base, etc.

WINFIELD COURIER, JULY 20, 1876. We "took tea" at the quiet little home of Judge T. McIntire last Saturday evening while visiting the City. He has the prettiest flower garden, the most cool and inviting arbor of forest trees, and the kindest "partner" of any old settler in the valley. He lives at home and stays where he lives. Of course, we carried away a nice bouquet of perennials.
TRAVELER, AUGUST 30, 1876. DEMOCRAT SOLD. Chas. McIntire sold the entire office of the Cowley County Democrat to Wm. Allison last week. Mr. Allison is to fulfill all unexpired subscriptions and advertising contracts. The publishing of the Democrat was an experiment from the first, and has now proven that the fourth paper cannot live in Cowley county. Mr. McIntire conducted the paper honorably and thorough­ly, and would have made it a good journal had he re­ceived suffi­cient support and encouragement.
WINFIELD COURIER, AUGUST 31, 1876. The Cowley County Democrat is a thing of the past. Mr. McIntire will go east for his health. Mr. Allison has purchased the material of the office.

TRAVELER, SEPTEMBER 27, 1876. CHARLES McINTIRE and WILL LEONARD started from Harmon's ford yesterday, for the voyage down the Arkansas. They have a good boat, covered with oil cloth, with a portable stove in it to do their cooking, and expect to float all the way to New Orleans.

C. M. McINTIRE,ARKANSAS VALLEY DEMO­CRAT]

TRAVELER, JULY 23, 1879. The Arkansas Valley Democrat, the new paper for this place, will be published next Friday. Mr. Charles McIntire, its editor and publisher, is thoroughly adapted to the newspaper business, and his long residence in this county has so acquainted him with the needs of our farmers that he cannot fail in giving satisfac­tion. For the past eight months he was connected with the TRAVELER office, and he has our best wishes for success in this undertaking.

The above was a very quiet affair, none being present except the relatives of the bride and bridgegroom. After the ceremony the happy couple took the 9:30 train for a wedding tour through the East. When the honeymoon is spent, they will return to battle in partnership against life's rough waves at Arkansas City. May peace, happiness, and prosperity abide with them now and forever is the wish of the TRAVELER force.

Before Burke could get it in shape, he was covered by George's pistol and dropped the "werpin."  The preliminary examination was postponed and he was bound over in the sum of $1,000.
  TRAVELER, OCTOBER 4, 1882. BIRTH. On Monday last as the light of day faded away in the west, and night's sable mantle overcast our city, the trip, trip, tripping of little feet might have been heard, and as the rustle of angel wings floated by, a souvenir of love graced the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. M. McIntire. It's a girl, and a beauty, and maybe Charley ain't proud. Oh, no!
