[HORSE THIEF CAPTURED.]

Winfield Courier, June 9, 1881.

Last Wednesday evening Mr. Adin Post, of Pleasant Valley township, had his team stolen. Thursday morning the captain of the Stock Protective Association of that township was notified of the fact and in a short time sixteen well mounted men were on the trail. The party was divided up, taking different roads. On Friday the party which took the Wichita road captured the thief near El Paso. He had an extra horse, which was afterward found to have been stolen from U. S. Marshall Marks, of the Territory. The thief gave his name as James Jackson. Messrs. J. L. Hon, Bert Eastman, Jerry Smith, and Mirian Croak were the parties who captured him. This is the second time the Pleasant Valley Stock Protective Union has caught their man. Horse thieves will give that neighborhood a wide berth.

[TISDALE TOWNSHIP CORRESPONDENT: “RUSTICUS,”]

Winfield Courier, March 23, 1882.

Mr. Daniel Eastman of Pleasant Valley Township is making many substantial improvements on his farm this spring. He has fenced a large pasture field, built a new house, and last week Mr. W. A. Lee put him up a Stover windmill and he will hereafter have an abundance of pure water for his stock. We like to see these improvements going on among Cowley’s farmers.

Winfield Courier, November 9, 1882.

Mr. D. Eastman had quite a serious bon fire on his place in Pleasant Valley Township last Friday evening. Mrs. Buck’s two little children were visiting there and in the afternoon they took some matches, went out and set fire to the hay, burning up about fifty tons, the barn, some plows, and a corn planter, and about two hundred bushels of corn. The loss to Mr. Eastman is about five hundred dollars.

[CONSTANT, PLEASANT VALLEY, CORRESPONDENT: “CAESAR.”]

Winfield Courier, November 23, 1882.

Mr. Eastman had his barn, hay, and corn crib destroyed by fire on Friday of last week. He estimates his loss at $500. It is the old, old story of children playing with matches.

Mr. Dan Eastman picked a tassel from his corn field as he drove through it Saturday, which found its way to our table. Corn in tassel in June is pretty good.

Winfield Courier, June 21, 1883.

Bob White brought in on Monday a stalk of corn from the field of D. Eastman, which stands seven feet high, and the leaves straightened up reach over eight feet high. It is a large, thick stalk, and Mr. White says there are plenty more of them in the same field.

[CONSTANT, PLEASANT VALLEY TOWNSHIP, CORRESPONDENT: “MARK.”]

Winfield Courier, April 3, 1884.

Winfield Courier, Thursday, February 25, 1886.

Thursday Mr. and Mrs. Maddux gave a pleasant party to some of their young friends at their residence on east 13th avenue. Those whose presence contributed to the gaiety of the evening were: Misses Josie, Ida, and Mattie Bard, Edna Eastman, Wier, Rogers, and Hawley, and Messrs. Roberts, Freeman, Busey, Bradshaw, Hardy, Giles, and others whose names we failed to get. Excellent music was rendered by Miss Josie Bard, after which there was a regular old fashioned taffy pulling. Of all enjoyment we ever participated in, this is the most lasting—we won’t forget it for a year, for the sweetest remembrance is the taffy in our hair and all over our clothes. You bet it’s a lot of fun.

Cora E. Eastman, Winfield...

Winfield Courier, Thursday, March 18, 1886.

Laben F. Moore was prancing around Monday in ecstatic glee indicative of a “double” determination. We promised to gauge our previousness. The initials of her name, the queen of his affection, is C. E.: Cora E. Eastman. Watch for cigars.

Cora E. Eastman, Winfield, marries Laben F. Moore...

Winfield Courier, Thursday, March 18, 1886.

And now another of the boys has become entangled in the meshes of irresistible cupid. Yesterday afternoon witnessed the marriage of Laben F. Moore and Cora E. Eastman, at the home of Rev. J. H. Snyder, who cemented the vows. Very slyly did Laben do this deed, not so much as lisping his intentions to the “outer courts.” But such an embarkment is always expected at some time or other. Very few escape and very few want to. Laben is one of the city’s best known and most energetic young businessmen, having shown his ability and activity very perceptibly in his management of the extensive business of Moore Brothers, large dealers and shippers of Cowley County stone. He has won the heart and hand of a young lady of attractive presence and winsome disposition, and boards the matrimonial craft looking out upon a bright future. Here’s to the health of yourself and fair bride, Laben, and “may you leef long and brosber.”

Frank Eastman, Winfield...

Winfield Courier, Thursday, March 25, 1886.

Laben Moore was presented Friday with a beautiful silver table castor from Hudson Brothers by Robert Nipp, I. Martin, J. M. Connor, E. Youngheim, M. V. Andre, Jack Hudson, and Frank Eastman. This was given as a gift of the appreciation in which Laben is held by the boys, and a memorial of his departure from single blessedness.

Theodore Eastman, Winfield...

Winfield Courier, Thursday, April 1, 1886.

Judge Turner has at last found a flurry of relief: three plain drunks, Theodore Eastman, W. A. Hybarger, and W. C. North, who got too much mechanical purposes last night and ran into the chilly grip of Marshals McFadden and McLain. They were assessed the usual price of a common drunk, $12.25 each, and departed soberer and wiser. The party who dealt the “stuff” will take the next whirl—at a considerable larger assessment.
