—Last week we failed to call
attention to the advertisement
in this paper of Messrs. Porter
& Park, receiving, forwarding
and commission merchants at
Eastland and Cisco. They are
prompt business men and Will
handle the wool and cotton
shipped from this country, as
well as merchandise to it.
They desire us to say that
goods not consigned to the care
of an agent, will not be deliver-
ed by the railroad agent to any
one other than the owner except
on a written order. This shows
the necessity of • having all
goods marked to care of an
a^ent and we recommend those
gentlemen to our readers. •

body knows .where to get a

Columbia oounty, Washington
territory. Mr. Jackson is one
of the early settlers in this
county, and has witnessed and
participated in many a scrim-
age with hostile Indians. They
Will all be greatly missed. The
Eono expresses the hope that
their journey may be a safe
and pleasant one and their ex-
pectations more than realized
upon their arrival at their des-
tination.
—It is acknowledged that C.
Meyer has the nicest stock of

Deileats Operation.
George J. Pine, a cow boy,
working on Casner's ranch, for-
ty miles west of Seymour, Son
Wichita river, was accidentally
shot in the left leg March 25th,
while scuffling* with one -of his
comrades. The ball entered a
little; below the hip joint and
came out above the knee, crush-
ing the bone- He was carried
to Seymour for medicaal treat-
ment and remained there until
Monday when he was brought
here and placed in the hands of
Surgeon J. L. Powell, U.S.A.
At first he thought amputation
of the hip joint necessary, but
on second examination discov-
ered that possibly the man's
limb might be saved by an op-
eration known as resection. As-
sisted by Dr. W. M. Powell of
this place, Surgeon Powell per-
fotmed this operation Thursday.
He cut a gash about eight inch-
es long in Pine's leg, sawed off
both ends of the broken bone,
shortening the limb five inches,
took out twenty-one pieces of
bone, sewed up the-Wound and
left his patient, in better condi-
tion than lie expected. The
time consumed in the operation
was nearly one hour and a half.
