He states that he is using all the money he has since made in this way and will soon pay every man in full. If he is doing so he deserves the commendation of all honest men for this action. The remonstrators won out in Richland township (Earl Park) last week and in a few months Benton county will be "dryer ’n cotton.” The temperance wave has also struck Goodland, and an applicant for license at Goodland, was defeated by remonstrance, something that never happened before in the history of that town. It is thought that a majority of the saloons of the state—especially in the country districts —will be put out of business by the new remonstrance law. It is reported that Portwood, the victim of the shooting affray at Brook last week, will recover to drink more booze, no doubt, and pick more quarrels. Horn, the man behind the gun in this case, was released on SI,OOO bond, which was promptly furnished, and it is not likely that he will be punished for the shooting. Portwood is said to have been hunting Horn to do “do him up” and begun the battle of bullets, so that Horn’s calling the turn on him was simply self-defense. Through the labors of our hustling real estate agent, F. B. Ham, of the firm of Bruner & Ham, a deal was consumated Monday by which J. T.
