Glad thoy'ro coming up in that part of J.H.Butler was exhibiting the new Foster plow, the Kansas King. It is certainly much the simplest sulky plow now in Whin the weather isfit he intends having it tested by practical -operation. That will tell its worth.

Complaint is being made that Indians drink themselves drunk, and while in that condition they are robbed-of their money, here in Coff-.

eyville. We know nothing personally about it; but if the complaint be well, founded, some one or more persons have committed grave offences. It is bad enough to make an Indian drirnk, and it is a great deal worse to 'rob him after he is drunk. The law is very severe in either limits of said city of Coffeyville, unless such person or persons shall first take out and procure a license as an auctioneer in said city as hereinafter prescribed.
