THE BOLTON DEBATE.

DISTRICT 96, May 8, 1880.

The challenge debate, as per previous announcement, took place in the Guthrie schoolhouse in Bolton township, Friday evening, May 7, 1880, with J. D. Guthrie as chairman. The question for discussion was: “Resolved, That the existence of vigilance committees is morally wrong and should be abolished.” The affirmative was opened by J. W. Brown, assisted by Mr. Clark. The opposing orators were Messrs. D. P. Marshall and W. J. Conaway. The honorable judges, S. J. Gilbert and P. H. Somers, after patiently listening to the able arguments on both sides, and witnessing many gymnastic feats in the way of gestures—not to mention the fact of the speakers, which tied themselves into all imaginable knots—decided that the knights of the affirmative had wrestled and twisted rather neatly, and gave their verdict accordingly. It will be remembered that this same question was argued about four weeks ago by the same parties, at which time the judges, Messrs. Linton, Watts, and Berkey, decided in favor of the negative. The debate was replete with rich and racy incidents, and those who were not present missed a rare treat. J. R. C.

Winfield Courier, January 12, 1882.

The proud and happy holder of ticket No. 387 which drew the prize doll turned up Saturday evening. He is not a newly married man as we predicted, nor was bashfulness the cause of his not coming forward. The simple fact is he had not taken the newspapers and wouldn’t have known he had a baby if someone hadn’t told him about it. His name is W. E. Gilbert, of Salt City. The “sweet thing” was turned over to him at half past four o’clock, and at thirty-one minutes past four he had swapped it off to Jake Goldsmith for $10.00. What on earth Jake wants with it remains to be seen. If we had it, we’d send it to boarding school.

[WIND STORM.]

Winfield Courier, April 26, 1883.

The storm seems to have passed north and struck Tisdale, where a large two-story frame house was blown to splinters. It contained ten persons at the time, all of them being on the ground floor. Mr. Green, one of the occupants, says that when he picked himself up, he was off on the prairie surrounded with the debris of the buildings and furniture. Reece Moore and wife were lying near him, both badly injured. The others were badly shaken up, but not damaged to any great extent. The furniture, stoves, and other household fixtures were totally demolished. The Conrad schoolhouse was also destroyed. In the north part of Tisdale Township, near New Salem, Milt Gilbert’s house was unroofed. The walls were of stone and withstood the force of the storm. Fortunately there was no one in the house at the time. Farther on Reuben Mitchell’s house was wrecked, the two gables and half the roof blown in. It was a new frame house built this spring.

T. J. [S. J.] Gilbert was down from Winfield Wednesday.

Arkansas City Republican, September 6, 1884.

Last week, on account of our unfamiliarity with names, we stated T. J. Gilbert was down from Winfield, when it should have been S. J. Thanks to our friends across the way for discovering the error for us. But people who live in glass houses should not throw stones. For instance, when a paper is dated on one page Sept. 3 and on the other Aug. 27. We are afraid another error on our part of a like nature would cause our able cotemporary to double up in paroxysms of pain; therefore, we will be more careful in the future.

DIED. The Courier reports that the bodies of Wm. Gilbert and a neighbor, living four miles southwest of Salt City in Walton Township, Sumner County, were found Monday down on Duck Creek in the Territory, where they froze to death in the terrible storm of last Thursday. They started early Thursday morning before the storm set in, for wood. Each had a good team, but whether they perished or not is unknown. They were not found with the bodies. The particulars are scanty. Gilbert was a young man and a cousin of Mrs. Sampson Johnson, of Pleasant Valley. Both men were well-to-do farmers.
