In the morning we swarted for Sherman Centre, a distance of 35 miles, by stage. This country is entirely new, but is very rapidly filling up. In all the ride from Pennsylvania, to Western Kansas, | saw no such beautiful land as there is in this part of Sherman Co.. In fact nearly all of Sherman county is very little broken. The Northern part of Wallace and south Sherman fis considerably broken by tdufls and revenee. But the greater part of this county is the beautifully andulat iog prarie as could possibly be found on the face of the earth, pretty strong language, but is nevertheless true. I have never traveled much, but still I know that along the whole route, no such land was seen anywhere, Brerybody here speaks in high terms of the beauty and fertility of the soil A great many persons have come and are coming from Nebraska and lows. One man that has travelled in twenty- nine states and territories told me that this was the most beautiful new county lis has over seen. The only drawback is the rain question. There has been plenty of rain the last two years, more than that, very little is known of the amount of rainfall ince it is an entirely new county; but with the increase of cultivation sbere will be an increase of a Kansas letter, We arrived at This is rainfall, It would be well to take up land here if there should be a failure o' crops for several years, if they had enough to onrry them through, On broken last yonr year that made some land that was corn was grown this fifty to sixty bushels per acre.

He put up at the Brant House Mr, W. H. Mair who is agent in this city for electric bells manufactured by a Rochester firm, boards at the same place, and the two men =00n became ao- quainted and eventually on very Mair in his possession which Bennett thought nt mate terma, had some articles would be good sellers in his business and he was allowed to dispose them on the streets Afier having favored him in this and other matters, Mr. Mair never suspected that when on Wednes- day evening Bennett signified his inten- tion of going to Lock Haven to try his luck, he was to be the loser by the oper ation. Bus yesterday morning when he went to look for his satchel in which he kept his samples and othrer novelties it was no where to be found. He soon learned that when a man answering to Bennett's description had boarded the train the night before; he carried in his hand a satchel which answered to the description of the one missed, Put ting the two together he saw that he had been duped and al once started out to get revenge. Learning that some one in this city had that morning re- oeived a card from Bennett dated Looks! Haven, he telegraphed to the authori- ties there toarrest him on sight, He was gratified Inst evening to receive a telegram from Look Haven stating that Bonnett was under arrest and awaiting bis plessure, Mr. Mair at once caused a warrant to be issued which he placed in the hands of Policeman MecFeely. That officer went to Lock Haven last night, and expects to deliver up his man to-day. The case will be heard before Alderman McClelland, The satchel and contents are yalued at $30, { Chaverz, | that the wily El Coyote, who has ‘mon and tried to rally his 14} El Coyote Killed.
