The preliminary examination, before Judge Buckman, of Alfred B. Elliott for the murder of Wilborn M. Chastain, at Dexter, on the 22nd, closed at five o’clock last evening. The defendant was granted bail in the sum of $10,000, which was promptly given. The court room was thronged with anxious listeners. The interest was intense and when the case was declared bailable, signs of approbation were noticeable all around.
The crowded audience arose and the preliminary was over. Mr. Elliott was warmly congratulated at his fortune in getting bond. All over the audience and especially among the Dexterites, could be seen a strong leaning in favor of Elliott. The attorneys for the defense immediately prepared the bond. Plenty of men were on hand to sign the bond. The bondsmen are: Alfred B. Elliott, Rowland C. Maurer, John B. Harden, S. G. Elliott, John R. Smith, Azro O. Elliott, Isaac H. Penis, Tully G. Hoyt, George M. Hawkins, John M. Reynolds, J. Wade McDonald, James McDermott, H. R. Branson, and J. M. Jackson—fourteen names. The bond was approved. The bondsmen were not required to qualify.

It is reported that the Cheyenne Indians have refused to receive the lease money from Geo. E. Reynolds of Colorado. Mr. Reynolds leased a strip off the east side of their reservation, for which he was to pay them $14,500 annually. The Indians now claim that he has fenced more than he agreed and will not accept the money. No settlement has as yet been effected.
Arkansas City Traveler, Wednesday, September 2, 1885.
The great cattle companies that have illegally fenced in millions of acres of the public lands, learn their fate in the proclamation lately issued by President Cleveland. Probably it will never be known exactly how far their rapacity has gone, since some of them will probably hasten to abandon parts of the territory they have seized, in the hope for longer retention of the rest. Yet it is known that their bold trespasses have been carried on upon a prodigious scale. “These stock ranges,” said Commissioner McFarland’s report, “sometimes cover several hundred thousand acres. Special agents report that they have ridden many miles in single enclosures, and that the same often contain much fine farming land.”
Documents laid before the committee on public lands in the last congress showed that in Colorado alone two foreign companies had fenced in more than a million acres each of the public lands. In the same state H. H. Metcalf and J. W. Powers, according to a letter of Secretary Teller, had fenced in 200,000 acres each; Lowery Brothers, 150,000; McDaniel & Davis, 75,000; E. C. Jane, Vrooman & McFife, and the Reynolds Cattle Co., 50,000 each; Garnett & Langford, and Chick, Brown & Co., 30,000, and so on with less rapacional squatters. In Nebraska the Brighton ranch occupied 125,000 acres, and the Kennebee from 20,000 to 50,000; Coe & Carter had up to fifty miles of fence; J. W. Wilson, forty; J. W. Bosler, 20. In Nevada W. Humphrey had up to thirty miles of fence, and Nelson & Son twenty-five. In Kansas great tracts were fenced in. In Wyoming more than a hundred companies had made illegal enclosures. Dakota showed the same reckless trespassing, and in New Mexico were the Dubuque, Cimarron, and Renello Companies and others with very large enclosures, one of which was declared during a debate in congress to be thirty miles square.
Attempting to draw up approximate statistics of illegal fencing that had been reported to him, the late land commissioner found them to include 2,300,000 acres in Colorado, 1,500,000 in New Mexico, 300,000 in Nebraska, 250,000 in Wyoming, 200,000 in Kansas, 60,000 in Nevada, and an unknown acreage in Montana and other territories.
The seizure of the public lands is not the only wrong done in these cases. Armed herdsmen hold these tracts against the entrance of genuine settlers. The preemption and homestead laws, designed to aid citizens, are perverted or opening defied by the cattle companies and their unscrupulous agents. The latter seize the pasturage and leisurely examine the mineral wealth of the domains they have fenced in, while even the United States mail courier has sometimes been compelled to go miles away from his accustomed route, from finding barbed wires stretched across his path. Homesteaders have been fenced in by them, in some cases, and have been threatened with violence or actually shot at for complaining or forcing an egress for themselves through the wires.
Even these acts of open violence do not complete the offenses of the land grabbers. In many instances they have sought to gain a partial hold on public lands, in order to avoid sudden ejection from them, by a pretended acquisition of title. The land office not long ago thus referred to this incidental wrong of the illegal fencing.
“A frequent incident to this control of large bodies of land is the acquirement of title by stock owners to the valleys, water courses, and other especially valuable lands within the enclosures, by means of fraudulent or fictitious entries caused to be made under the pre-emption, homestead, and desert land laws.”
At last, however, a check to this career of trespass, thieving, and fraud, with its interruption of public travel, detention of the mails, and intimidation of honest settlers, may be expected. The law passed at the last session of congress certainly gives all the additional facilities demanded for putting an end to these wrongs. It will not be surprising, however, to discover that the companies in some cases hold pretended titles to parts of their tracts through the connivance and assistance of local representatives of the government. In each case it may be found that the first necessity for the detection and punishment of the frauds is the removal of all registers, receivers, agents, and other government officers, whom negligence, incapacity, or corruption has made these wrongs possible.

[SAD AFFAIR, GROUSE CREEK VALLEY, MRS. REYNOLDS INJURED.]
Winfield Courier, July 20, 1882.
A Sad Affair. Grouse Creek valley is all worked up over a woman-beating scrape, which occurred Sunday evening. Terry Bullington was the attacking party and Mrs. Jeff Reynolds the victim. The two families live as neighbors and for some time have had a misunderstanding between them engendering bitter feeling. Sunday evening Mrs. Reynolds took one of Bullington’s cats, which was in her yard, and threw it over into the owners. This seemed to enrage Bullington, who picked up a stick and attacked Mrs. Reynolds, hitting her on the head and knocking her down twice, and afterward breaking the stick over her body. Mrs. Reynolds’ husband is absent in Missouri, and the lady is badly injured. We cannot imagine what manner of man this can be who would attack and beat a woman with a club, no matter what the provocation. He should hide his head in shame for evermore.
16. Michael Reynolds.
Winfield Courier, February 5, 1880.
Two railroaders, James Moore and Michael Reynolds, were arrested last week and brought before Justice Buckman on complaint of Dennis Murphy, charged with robbing him of $110.00. Henry E. Asp conducted the case for the State, and Charles H. Payson appeared for the defense. From the testimony of Dennis Murphy, he had got into a “bad crowd” as he furnished all the whiskey and his friends showed their appreciation of his generosity by robbing him of his money.

A coal company has been formed for the purpose of prospecting for coal here. Quite a large sum has already been subscribed to prosecute the work and it is the intention of the company to begin work as soon as the necessary boring machinery can be secured. This enterprise is a most important one for our City. There is no doubt but that our town is underlaid by coal deposits and all it needs is enterprise to develop them. The following gentlemen are the incorporators: W. P. Hackney, M. L. Robinson, B. F. Cox, J. L. Horning, C. C. Black, J. M. Keck, O. M. Reynolds, C. L. Harter, S. C. Smith, and Geo. Emerson.

Winfield Courier, Thursday, December 17, 1885.
The committees, appointed at the citizens’ meeting, to work up the submitting of propositions for the extension of the Florence El Dorado & Walnut railroad from Douglass to Winfield, met yesterday afternoon in McDougall’s hall to determine on the apportionment of the amount of aid asked. Judge T. H. Soward called the meeting to order. S. P. Strong was chosen chairman and W. J. Wilson, Secretary. M. L. Robinson then explained the object of the meeting, to get everything in readiness for aggressive work in submitting the propositions and securing this road. The townships through which the road will run were represented as follows.
Rock: S. P. Strong, H. F. Hornaday, E. J. Wilbur, and W. H. Grow.
Fairview: J. C. Paige and T. C. Covert.
Walnut: J. C. Roberts, J. B. Corson, John Mentch, T. A. Blanchard, J. Anderson, W. D. Roberts, and E. M. Reynolds.
Winfield: H. H. Siverd, J. A. Eaton, D. L. Kretsinger, Col. Whiting, T. H. Soward, B. T. Davis, M. L. Robinson, S. J. Smock, G. H. Crippen, J. E. Conklin, W. P. Hackney, G. L. Gale, Chas. Schmidt, W. J. Wilson, Ed P. Greer, H. E. Asp, A. H. Limerick, F. C. Hunt, and J. W. Curns.
Judge T. H. Soward then came forward with figures, taken directly from the official records of the county, that will knock the winds out of the “burdensome taxation” growler, should he attempt to display himself. They are conclusive evidence that the voting of bonds to secure this railroad is not a burden.
Here are the figures.
ROCK TOWNSHIP.
The assessed valuation 1885: $132,800.00
Tax levy of 1885 except school and road: $2,184.80
Interest on $18,000 bonds asked for at 6 per cent: $1,080.00
Valuation with proposed road bed: $178,300.00
The present rate of taxation on township with road, will produce: $3,137.98
Tax to be raised with interest on bonds: $3,264.89
Difference and amount to be raised: $226.91
FAIRVIEW TOWNSHIP.
Assessed valuation 1885: $16,335.00
Tax levy 1885 except school and road: $1,844.15
Interest on $19,000 bonds asked for, 6 per cent: $600.00
Valuation with proposed road bed: $183,835.00
Present rate of taxation with road bed will produce: $3,143.77
Total tax, with interest on bonds: $2,444.15
Difference in favor of township: $699.62
WALNUT TOWNSHIP.
Assessed valuation 1885: $231,328.00
Tax levy 1885 except school and road: $3,642.51
Interest on $15,000 bonds asked: $900.00
Valuation with proposed road bed: $365,838.00
Same rate taxation will produce: $5,229.82
Total tax with interest on bonds: $4,542.51
Difference in favor of township: $687.37
COMPARATIVE.
Windsor township in 1879 had a valuation of $73,129.09
Valuation 1881 with S. K. R. R.: $193,153.00
Increase in valuation: $120,024.00
Maple township, 1879, had a valuation of $70,307.00
Valuation 1881, with R. R.: $90,278.00
Increase in valuation: $20,000.00
These figures prove conclusively that the increase of valuation by the advent of railroads pays the bonds with a sinking fund. There is no burden involved in the voting of aid to railroads. And when you add to the road itself the big increase of values through railroad facilities, transportation, convenience, etc., the benefit is incalculable.
J. C. Paige, T. C. Covert, W. P. Hackney, and W. H. Grow made pointed remarks. It was decided to submit propositions to Rock for $18,000; Walnut $15,000; Fairview $10,000; Winfield $17,000, making the $60,000 required for the extension. Committees were appointed to canvass and work up the propositions, as follows.
Rock: G. H. Williams, R. Booth, Sr., S. P. Strong, H. F. Hornaday, W. H. Grow, J. M. Harcourt, and E. J. Wilber.
Fairview: Tom Covert, J. C. Paige, H. C. Schock, J. W. Douglass, J. M. Barrick, R. P. Burt, A. J. McCollum.
Walnut: T. A. Blanchard, John Mentch, J. P. Short, John C. Roberts, W. D. Roberts, E. M. Reynolds, Chas. Schmidt.
The propositions are now being printed, and in a few days will be ready for signatures.

While Mr. Reynolds was putting down some piping in a well on T. B. Myers’ farm, preparing to drill it deeper, the wall fell in, burying everything. Just before it caved, both Mr. Reynolds and Mr. Myers were thinking of going down to adjust the drilling apparatus. Had either of them done so, we would have headed this notice, “Killed in a Well.”

Best pump for cistern, Cairns & Reynolds, city, 1st premium.
Winfield Courier, March 20, 1884.
DIED. On Monday afternoon Chas. E. Hickenlooper, a young man about twenty years old, while manipulating a well drill near Moore & Son’s stone quarry east of town, was accidentally struck on the top of the head by the drill crank and died in a few hours from the effects of the blow. He had been in the county since last fall and worked during the winter for George Anderson, near Floral, but was employed this spring by H. C. Reynolds, of the firm of Cairns & Reynolds, pump dealers, to assist in running a well drill throughout the county. His parents reside in Albia, Iowa, and in his pocket was found a long letter from them, full of parental admonition, encouragement, and love. On the day of his death a letter from the father was taken from the post office which, after giving the “home news,” would up as follows: “Well, I must now close, hoping that you may prosper in business, keep good health, a good conscience, and an honorable manhood. Write often so that we may know that you are well and doing well, for your mother gets so uneasy when she don’t hear from you often, that she can’t rest.” It was written in a beautiful hand and showed every mark of refinement. Little did those parents think that the next thing they would hear from their boy would be a telegram announcing his sudden death. An answer to the telegram sent by Mr. Reynolds to the father requested that the body be given a good burial and that money would be forwarded for the expenses. The young man had no relatives or other than casual friends in the county, and no money. He seemed to be of good character and industrious, but of a roving disposition. Mr. Reynolds gave the body careful attention, for which he is deserving of credit, and it was buried Wednesday afternoon, Rev. J. Cairns conducting the ceremonies.
Winfield Courier, April 3, 1884.
Our readers will remember the sad accident mentioned in the COURIER a few weeks ago wherein Charles Hickenlooper, a young man in the employ of Mr. H. C. Reynolds was struck on the head by a well drill crank and died in a few hours. He was a moneyless stranger in a strange land and in recognition of the kindly care given the body, the following card of thanks has been sent us for publication by the young man’s parents at Albia, Iowa.
“To the many friends, though strangers to us, at Winfield we return our unfeigned thanks for their true Samaritan benevolence, Christian manners, humane services, and evidence of respect toward us, the parents, and our unfortunate one, in this dire calamity. Especially to H. C. Reynolds and brother, Mr. Emmet Noble and lady, Rev. Cairns, the editors of Winfield for kind notice, and to all others sympathizing. Charles Hickenlooper, Mary Hickenlooper.”

The people proceeded to reorganize the Sunday school last Sunday, by re-electing the following officers: Superintendent, J. L. Higbee; Assistant Supt., Mr. Reighle; Secretary, Miss Eva Reynolds; Treasurer, Lou Wilson.
Wm. Taylor returned on last Saturday from the west looking as though he liked the country, which he says is true. He expects to return this week; also his brother, and Col. Reynolds, to make the west their future home. They are located in Ford County, where there is quite a colony of people from this neighborhood. They have about 2,500 acres in one valley and have established a town, the name of which I have not yet learned.
The young people’s Mite Society met last Saturday night at the residence of Mr. Reynolds and enjoyed themselves for a long time; in fact, they stayed till Sunday. They also concluded to hold a “Mother Hubbard” festival on Friday night, the 31st of this month. Hope they will, for they are deserving of something of this kind and the proceeds are to go toward buying an organ for the schoolhouse. Committees were appointed and everything looks favorable at present.

Last Thursday evening a representative of the REPUBLICAN had the pleasure of being one of a large number who went fishing along the Arkansas.
J. A. McCormick and Miss Willie Reynolds were the chief managers, the former inviting the gentlemen and the latter, the ladies. They met at the home of Miss Reynolds, where the couples were arranged so as to suit all parties. Before starting it was discovered that they had no baits, but one of them informed the rest that an excellent bait could be manufactured out of flour and cotton. This was proven to be a good bait by the number of fish they caught.
It was late when they got to the river, but they improved their time, had considerable fun, and returned to the city carrying a great many fish—lines.
Arkansas City Republican, Saturday, October 24, 1885.
Last evening Mrs. Wm. Henderson experienced a very agreeable surprise. Yesterday was her birthday and Miss Willie Reynolds devised the plan of getting up a party. She invited the guests—friends of Mrs. Henderson—and managed the preparation of refreshments, which were in abundance and fully appreciated by those present. Mrs. Henderson was decoyed away the first part of the evening and on her return was surprised to see her friends gathered there. She received a fine rocking chair as a present. A pleasant time was had.

Since the bonds have been voted in the border townships for the Kansas State Line road, real estate has changed hands at an astonishing rate and at exceedingly good prices. Our town has been alive this week with capitalists seeking purchases.
J. A. Reynolds, of Cameron, Missouri, was prospecting in this vicinity this week. He purchased the farm of J. C. Chase, a few miles west of Arkansas City. He paid $4,500 for it.

Arkansas City Republican, Saturday, August 14, 1886. From Thursday’s Daily.
P. J. Reynolds, of San Francisco, California, has been secured as head baker at the Cracker Factory. Mr. Reynolds has been for a number of years connected with the California Cracker Company at San Francisco. The management of the Cracker Factory at this city intend to produce nothing but a superior class of goods, and are therefore employing only gentlemen who thoroughly understand the business.
Arkansas City Republican, Saturday, November 27, 1886.
“This morning a representative of the REPUBLICAN visited the Arkansas City Cracker Factory. We found everyone busily engaged at work, but we had scarcely gotten upon the inside of the building when we were met by the genial manager, L. B. Davidson, who escorted us from ‘pit to dome’ of the establishment, besides answering the many questions we propounded in regard to the mysteries of ‘his art’ with great cheerfulness. Many changes for the better have occurred since the first starting of the factory. The capacity has been greatly increased. The first floor is utilized for the packing of the goods made, and also the manufacture of boxes. The second floor is where fine crackers, cakes, etc., are made. Here the eye is delighted with the fine specimens of mechanism. Probably the most interesting study is the cracker machine, as it rolls out its 20 barrels of flour per day into the best A. C. Soda crackers. This is the third machine of this make in use in the United States. J. C. Reynolds, late of the California cracker company’s works, has charge of the cracker department.
“The third floor contains the candy manufactory. This department is under the management of C. V. Frazell, lately of Chicago. That he thoroughly understands the making of confections is evinced by the samples shown us of his handiwork. At present he is getting up some fancy candies for the holidays. It will be as fine a line of goods as we have seen anywhere.
“Mr. Davidson informed us that when the factory was first started but three barrels of flour were used per day. It soon increased to ten, and now it has gone to twenty. Trade is good, and the company have about all the orders they can fill at present. In fact, they cannot supply the demand for candy. At present twenty hands are employed in the establishment, and as the patronage grows the force will have to be increased. The management is highly pleased with the success the factory is attaining. In this connection we wish to remark that the Arkansas City Cracker Company was very fortunate in securing the services of Mr. Davidson as manager. He is a man of great business talent. He does not stand around and say, ‘I can do so and so,’ but places his shoulder to the wheel and shows the people what he can do by his works. He is a man that pushes his business with great vim.
“The Arkansas City Cracker Factory is an industry of which we may well be proud, and the management is deserving of praise.”

Miss Mary Reynolds is at present occupying the position of secretary of the Chamber of Commerce and secretary of the Retailers association, as these two offices are vacant at this time. O. B. Seyster has left the city and his successor has not yet been appointed.
Since the resignation of O. B. Seyster as secretary of the chamber of commerce, arrangements have been tentatively agreed upon between the board of directors and Ross H. Rhoads, proprietor of the Palace Grocery, that if he can dispose of his grocery store, he will assume the secretaryship of the chamber. Mr. Rhoads has been an active chamber member and is at the present time president of the retailers’ association and is quite generally regarded as a good man for the place. In the meantime the office of the chamber is in the hands of Miss Mary Reynolds, the efficient stenographer for both the chamber and retailers’ association.

At a special communication of Dexter Lodge, No. 156, A. F. & A. M., the following resolutions were adopted.
WHEREAS, It has pleased the Supreme Architect of the Universe in His infinite wisdom to call from labor among us to refreshment in the Supreme Grand Lodge above, our well beloved brother, M. H. Reynolds, therefore, be it
Resolved, That while we deplore his untimely end, we bow in humble submission to the fiat of our Supreme Grand Master while our deceased brother takes his seat as a member of the Supreme Grand Lodge above.
Resolved, That in his death, Dexter Lodge, No. 156, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, loses one of its most earnest and faithful craftsmen, and one who has ever taken great pleasure in hewing out the rough ashlers and fitting them for use in the erection of our Masonic Temple, which is the earnest desire of all good and true Master Masons.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be furnished to the bereaved wife and parents of our deceased brother; a copy spread upon the minutes of the lodge, and a copy furnished to The Eye, Winfield COURIER, and Telegram, with a request that they publish the same.

Some dirty rapscallion is in the lowest thievery of all. Saturday the ivory rings were cut from the harness of Earnest Reynolds’ team, and several others standing hitched on Main street. The low devil is spotted and the best thing he can do is to mosey around and fix the matter up as cheaply as possible, or get in the cold grip of the law.
Winfield Courier, Thursday, October 22, 1885.
Earnest Reynolds has built an addition to his residence, which adds much to its appearance.
Winfield Courier, Thursday, October 29, 1885.
The reporter mounting a steed sallied forth early Friday morning to take an inventory of the improvements and new buildings which have gone up since the season opened, and the ones under construction at the present time. Being rushed, we are satisfied many have been overlooked. The valuation given is below the market value rather than above. The following list we know will surprise our own citizens. Earnest Reynolds, addition: $1,000.00.
Winfield Courier, Thursday, October 29, 1885.
Earnest Reynolds received a severe cut on the head Friday while superintending a job at Amos Tolles, six miles from here. The mast wheel dropped from the well boring apparatus, striking him on the head, cutting a deep gash. Mr. Reynolds can congratulate himself that it was no worse.
Winfield Courier, Thursday, November 26, 1885.
Earnest Reynolds, who lives in the eastern part of town, arose at an early hour Tuesday and looking out doors, failed to see the large washing his wife had put out the previous evening. Upon investigation he found a naked line. He at once commenced to search and found traces of the thieves bearing in an easterly direction. In getting over the fence east of his residence, they had torn a shirt to pieces, and farther on he found a few napkins. He came uptown and had a search warrant issued and he and the Marshal made a thorough search of several premises in the neighborhood, but have found nothing up to this time. If the thieves are found, the law should deal heavily with them. It was a large and valuable washing, containing mostly new clothes.
Winfield Courier, Thursday, January 14, 1886.
Monday evening was the occasion of a very enjoyable time at the Post, it being the installation of the new officers elect. The boys have a very roomy and well furnished Post room and well fitted for entertaining a crowd. The Woman’s Relief Corps was out in full strength and quite a number of visitors. Everybody was sociable and jolly and the reporter felt just like a school boy on holiday. We like to mingle in such a crowd. We feel better for days afterward.
After the installation the ladies of the Relief Corps slyly brought out some mysterious looking packages and soon revealed a feast that every old “vet,” including the reporter, began to grin about and never let up until they reached home and had to send for the doctor. Cakes, oranges, candy, apples, and everything good was passed around in abundance. The reporter and John Arrowsmith were on the sick list and looked as blue as indigo because they couldn’t eat anything. Dr. Wells’ friends watched him closely and whenever the bald place on his head began to turn blue, they pounded him on the back, and took away his dish. Tom Soward and Capt. Nipp were cautioned by their friends several times to eat slower, but you might as well have told them, during the war, to fight slower. They are excusable as they confidently told the reporter they had been expecting this and had fasted since the day before. Earnest Reynolds never grunted after the cake began to go around. He looked down at the floor and lost no time. It is estimated that the Post lost $4.67 by his presence. As for Siverd, words will not express his troubles. Three times was he choked on an orange. His friends are very much worried about him, as he has been troubled for years with dyspepsia. After the feast it was noticed that the Captain’s pockets stuck out like an air balloon, and it is thought he is injured internally. Space will not allow us to speak of the other boys. They all did justice to everything. Their gastronomical propensities worked like a charm.
Winfield Courier, Thursday, January 28, 1886.
Earnest Reynolds is quite sick with pneumonia. Mrs. Reynolds received word yesterday that her mother in Iowa is not expected to live.

Mrs. Earnest Reynolds left Monday for Nora Springs, Iowa, to see her mother, who is very low.
Winfield Courier, Thursday, February 18, 1886.
Charles Rempe, who lives in the eastern part of the city, just east of Earnest Reynolds, is preparing to set out sixty acres, about three miles from town, in all kinds of fruit. He has already invested about $700 in fruit of different kinds and will keep at it until he covers the sixty acres in small and large fruit. He expects to save about fifteen acres for pasture. Mr. Rempe is an old hand at the business and knows what he is about. He will have none but the choicest. There can be no question of it paying in five years time, if he has ordinary luck. He will have a bonanza. He will also put up a first-class residence on this land, where he will live. We are glad Mr. Rempe has taken hold of this and will make this his permanent home, as we are loth to lose men of his standing and ability.
Winfield Courier, Thursday, March 11, 1886.
Mrs. E. M. Reynolds returned Friday from a month’s visit to her mother in Nora Springs, Iowa, her childhood home. When she left there the 4th inst., there were fifteen inches of snow, making our Italian climate all the more glorious in comparison. Earnest began to look pretty rough from his long widowerhood and is mighty glad to have an end to it.

Willie Reynolds fell over the stairway banister of the Second Ward school building last week, breaking his arm and wrist and otherwise bruising himself up. He fell head first about eight feet. A few years ago he had a foot split from toe to ankle while around a threshing machine, from which he limps badly. The weakness of this foot caused the disaster yesterday.
