Patterson, and Mr. Draper last Saturday, on Coal Rock Creek, thirty miles east of this place, at the house of Mr. Johnson. He made his escape by chipping the wood with a hatchet and burning the door of the jail. The hatchet used he claimed to have stolen from Bowen's Grocery. After his escape he laid out in the grass near Pat Somers' place all day and all night, and then went to houses on the Walnut, where he was fed by people knowing him to be the identified thief who had escaped.

Horse Thieves Caught.
Two men, William Gilmore and Francis J. Seltz, who have been stopping at the mouth of Grouse for some weeks, and of whom we spoke last week, warning the people to look out for them, were overtaken and captured on the Shawkaska river, by Curry, Keho, Blair, and Roberts, last Sunday morning. The men took the horses from the Kaw Agency on Thursday night, came up Grouse creek, and were going west. The horses belonged to Big and Little Lewis Pappan; half breed Kaw Indians. The horses were missed at daylight, and the Indians started in pursuit, tracking them all the way to Bolton township, where they received the first news of them. Pappan's horses were tired out and he persuaded the above mentioned men to follow them on Saturday night, by whom they were captured the next morning.
At sight of the men the thieves ran and were only stopped by the firing of Curry. Seltz received the shot from Curry's carbine, the ball entering near the wrist and paralyzing his arm. At this, the thieves gave themselves up and begged to be well treated. On Monday morning they were arraigned before Justice McIntire and plead not guilty. The preliminary trial was waived, and the parties were bound over to appear at the district court in the sum of $1,000. Failing in bond, they went to jail.
WINFIELD COURIER, JULY 10, 1874. SALT SPRINGS. Judge Peffer, Col. J. C. McMullen, E. P. Kinne, Mr. Loomis, and several ladies, also the "Special Contributor," visited the salt works on the 6th. We found Judge McIntire, superintendent of the works. Our July sun is doing the handsome thing for these just now, giving a product of a ton per week.
There are also springs containing, apparently, glauber's salts and other minerals in solution. We concluded the "warm spring" to be caused by the action of the solar heat.
Traveler.
WINFIELD COURIER, FRIDAY, JULY 14, 1874.The Salt Springs.
In company with W. W. Walton, our efficient county surveyor, who kindly furnished the rig, we tripped over to the Salt Springs last Monday, where we arrived just in time for dinner, of which we were bountifully supplied at the "Mills" House. There we met J. T. Hall, formerly of the Valley House of this place, who expects to do the honors for the new Hotel, which they hope to build in a short time. After dinner we went down to see the "Springs," which spurt out in a low flat, near the Arkansas river. There we found Judge McIntire and son, busy filling and refilling the vats, in which, by the action of the sun, the brine is crystalized.
WINFIELD COURIER, JULY 31, 1874.
Base Ball.
The Eldorado base ball club of Eldorado, played the Frontiers of this place a match game of ball on the grounds of the latter last Saturday, which resulted in the victory of the Frontier's by a score of 35 to 38. On the side of the Eldorado's, Gossard caught two fair flies, Shryer two, and Myers one. McIntire caught nine fouls, put one out on three strikes, and one out on home base, etc.

WINFIELD COURIER, JULY 20, 1876. We "took tea" at the quiet little home of Judge T. McIntire last Saturday evening while visiting the City.

Of course, we carried away a nice bouquet of perennials.
TRAVELER, AUGUST 30, 1876. DEMOCRAT SOLD. Chas. McIntire sold the entire office of the Cowley County Democrat to Wm. Allison last week. Mr. Allison is to fulfill all unexpired subscriptions and advertising contracts.

Mr. McIntire conducted the paper honorably and thoroughly, and would have made it a good journal had he received sufficient support and encouragement.

C. M. McINTIRE,ARKANSAS VALLEY DEMOCRAT]

Mr. Charles McIntire, its editor and publisher, is thoroughly adapted to the newspaper business, and his long residence in this county has so acquainted him with the needs of our farmers that he cannot fail in giving satisfaction. For the past eight months he was connected with the TRAVELER office, and he has our best wishes for success in this undertaking.

TRAVELER, OCTOBER 4, 1882. BIRTH. On Monday
last as the light of day faded away in the west, and night's sable mantle
overcast our city, the trip, trip, tripping of little feet might have been
heard, and as the rustle of angel wings floated by, a souvenir of love graced
the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. M. McIntire. It's a girl, and a beauty, and maybe
Charley ain't proud. Oh, no!
