The citizens neitilly, appreciating the iinportanceof Wichita county and the necessity for railroad communication with the outer world, as-sembled en masse on Saturday last Biographical Sketches. R. K.

JEKKESS, president of the Leoti Town Company, was born in Canada, but is of New Hampshire stock. Hi ancestry dates back to 1635, when a colony of English puritans, fifteen years subsequent to the landing of the Pilgrim Fathers, settled at Rye-Beach, N. H. The subject of our sketch is a worthy descendant of that sturdy and resolute band of pioneers, and he has inherited the qualities which have obtained for the pilgrim fathers of our country an imperishable name. Mr.

Jenness removed with hi parents from Canada to DeKalb county, Illinois, in 1844, and was educated in the common schools of that county. He came westward, oh! to Kansas in 1857 and settled in Franklin county when the "noble savage" were numerous in the eastern counties of this state. He was elected sheriff of Franklin county in November. 1SG5, and held that perilous and responsible office together with office of mayor of Ottawa until 1809, and was again chosen by the people as sheriff from 1872 until 1875. In 1 S70 he was elected to represent the 27th district in the Kansas legislature for two years, and in 1878 removed to Cherokee county, where he engaged in the coal business and operated a colliery in that county until his removal to Wiehita county in December, 1885.

Soon after his arrival in Leoti he was unanimously elected president of the Town Company, and he has, by his untiring energy largely contributed to the successful outcome of Leoti as county seat.

Hardesty, brother of Gue C. Hardesty, our energetic townsman. Hardesty came to Wichita county in the summer of 1SS5 on a prospecting tour to seek a location for the firm of Hardesty Pelham, of Wellington. He had traveled over the southorn tierof counties, but finally decided to identify himself with Looti and its then proposed town company. He became a member of the company, was appointed secretary, and looked forward to an eventful career incidental to the settlement of a new county, when preat harvester, Death, gathered him into the "bourne from whence no traveler returns." Being in delicate health, he had returned to Wellington to sojourn through the winter, and in the spring of 1880 he manifested considerable anxiety to be in Leoti early in the season.

The journey to Leoti exposed him to the inclemency of our spring storms, and con the week the principal business thoroughfares will be furnished with it ii ivit: no 10 n.irni'siv a i inn 1 i- 4tf Uarland and wile to lladcstv IVlli.u.i, C01 Monday.
