A representative of the paper boarded the train Monday, and in company with his better half, the comparative degree is acknowledged with all humility, took a “ride on the cars” down to our sister city and “did” the lively place to the best of our ability.

It had been some time since we had walked the classic streets and got sand in our shoes, and things seemed comparative­ly strange and new. However, we had the energetic and genial presence of H. G. Fuller to remind us of home and keep up our spirits and didn’t sigh for “home, sweet home” very much.

Excerpts...

[ACCIDENT: DEATH OF JOHN WESLEY SNYDER.]

Cowley County Courant, April 27, 1882.

One of the saddest accidents ever recorded in the history of Winfield was the sudden and accidental shooting of one of Cowley County’s most respected farmers Saturday, about fifteen minutes before twelve o’clock.

The streets were crowded with people, and a notion wagon man from Topeka, was stationed just south of Harter’s drug store, selling his goods to all who wished to buy.

Mr. Snyder, an old resident of the county, who has lived on a farm about seven miles south of Winfield, on the Walnut, for the past eight or nine years, came to town this morning with a load of millet seed, which he expected to sell. He brought with him his wife and their baby, a little boy about sixteen months old.

Upon arriving in the city he walked down to the corners, as the crossing of Main street and Ninth avenue are termed, and was standing just at the rear of the notion wagon, listening no doubt to the man’s speech to the crowd. The notion man stood in his wagon in his shirt sleeves, his coat lying in the front end of the wagon upon a box, which it is supposed contained articles of some kind for sale. He went to this box, apparently, to take something out, and taking his coat in his hand returned to the rear end of the wagon and laid it down upon another box, when his pistol fell out of one of the coat pockets and to the ground, striking the hind wheel of the wagon as it fell, and was dis­charged.

The Coroner was there by this time, a jury summoned, and the body born to the office of H. G. Fuller, over the Post Office where an inquest was held. After hearing the evidence of a number of gentlemen who were present, the jury returned a verdict to the effect that Mr. Snyder came to his death from an acciden­tal shot fired from a pistol belonging to W. H. Wood, a traveling salesman. Mr. Wood was placed under arrest, but after the verdict of the jury was rendered, he was discharged.

[LAND FOR SALE.]

Winfield Courier, May 31, 1883.

“Courier Place.” The strip of land lying between 9th and 12th Avenues, east, known as the “Lipe land,” has been platted and is today placed on sale with H. G. Fuller. It is called the “Courier Place,” and will be sold in quarter block tracts only. It is the finest residence location in the city, lies high and smooth, and slopes gently toward the city. Since we purchased this tract, there have been numerous applications for lots thereon, but we thought it best to get it platted and then let everyone sail in on the plan of “first come first served.” Its being sold only in quarter blocks will insure the erection of good buildings, and the building up of neat, substantial homes. Persons who desire to secure a desirable location for a home should call on Mr. Fuller at once and get their choice of location. The tract comprises forty-two lots, 50 x 140, making three blocks and a half.

AN UNIQUE OFFICE. H. G. Fuller & Co.’s Enterprise and Taste.

In the First Rank for Real Estate and Loans.

The Real Estate office of H. G. Fuller & Co., on North Main, sparkles all over with enterprise and vim. It is without doubt the neatest office in the city. Artistic signs and paint on the exterior, with a neat canvas awning, make the office a prominent attraction, while pretty wall paper, neat curtains, and delicate paint adorn the interior beautifully. The interior has every convenience. The window contains some of Cowley’s mammoth productions—a pumpkin weighing 125 pounds, watermelons weighing 60 to 75 pounds, and other wonders. There is money in enterprise. No one could step into this office without readily perceiving that this firm is a rustling one—one always to the front. And this new location is proving a drawing card, and H. G. Fuller & Co.’s business is daily increasing. Messrs. H. G. Fuller and W. L. Mullen are on the go showing land buyers around while Chas. E. Fuller is always busy in the office. An unique feature of this office is a changeable bulletin of lands for sale, houses to rent, etc., on the front of the building. H. G. Fuller & Co. stand in the front rank of our real estate and loan firms, and will always hold an enviable position. Their agreeable courtesy in showing strangers around, and their large list of lands to select from are appreciated, and seldom fail to catch the land seeker.

COWLEY VS. INDIANA.

Our Magnificent Fruit Display to Go to the Hoosier State Fair.

A meeting was held at THE COURIER office on the Fair Grounds today to arrange for exhibiting the display of Cowley County fruit at the Indiana State Fair next week. H. G. Fuller was chosen chairman and N. T. Snyder secretary. The meeting was enthusiastic. Mr. Snyder stated that the real estate men of Arkansas City would bear their share of the expense. Mr. Manser moved that the real estate men should pledge the sum necessary to carry the exhibit east. A committee consisting of Messrs. Manser, Fuller, and Snyder was selected to attend to the finances. President Jas. F. Martin, J. D. Guthrie, and Capt. Huffman were selected to take the exhibit to Indianapolis. This idea is one of the best ever proposed in the interest of our county. A finer exhibit of fruit than ours was never made, and its display, appropriately decorated with banners, will make the Hoosiers’ eyes bug out. The committee start Saturday.

The committees, appointed at the citizens’ meeting, to work up the submitting of propositions for the extension of the Florence El Dorado & Walnut railroad from Douglass to Winfield, met yesterday afternoon in McDougall’s hall to determine on the apportionment of the amount of aid asked. Judge T. H. Soward called the meeting to order. S. P. Strong was chosen chairman and W. J. Wilson, Secretary. M. L. Robinson then explained the object of the meeting, to get everything in readiness for aggressive work in submitting the propositions and securing this road.

Every movement must have money back of it to insure its success. This and other enterprises needing agitation take money. Contributions were called for to be placed in the hands of the Winfield Enterprise Association for use in submitting these railroad propositions and any other progressive enterprise for which the Association sees necessity. Over $500 was subscribed as follows.

H. G. Fuller & Co. donated $10.00.

FALSE AND CORRECTED. Inasmuch as there are a number of citizens in Walnut township, Cowley County, Kansas, living on land which has never been platted adjacent to the city of Winfield in said county, and said citizens have not petitioned to become citizens of said city of Winfield, and inasmuch as land not platted cannot be arbitrarily taken into the city limits, therefore be it resolved, that it is the place of the mayor and council of the city of Winfield that under the law only those citizens of Walnut township who are living on said lands who petitioned to become citizens of said city, whose names are as follows: A. J. Thompson, T. H. Soward, S. L. Gilbert, H. G. Fuller, D. Rodocker, and others, are citizens of the said city and those who did not petition the said city to become citizens thereof living on the said land are still as heretofore, residents of Walnut township.
