given. On the very first name I finally discovered that where was a J. H.
Reynolds (Joseph H.) At Dexter and that there was another man (John Reynolds)
at Torrance. Talk about confusion! Trying to separate John from Joseph.

The preliminary examination, before Judge
Buckman, of Alfred B. Elliott for the murder of Wilborn M. Chastain, at Dexter,
on the 22nd, closed at five o’clock last evening. The defendant was
granted bail in the sum of $10,000, which was promptly given. The court room
was thronged with anxious listeners. The interest was intense and when the case
was declared bailable, signs of approbation were noticeable all around.
The crowded audience arose and the
preliminary was over. Mr. Elliott was warmly congratulated at his fortune in
getting bond. All over the audience and especially among the Dexterites, could
be seen a strong leaning in favor of Elliott. The attorneys for the defense
immediately prepared the bond. Plenty of men were on hand to sign the bond. The
bondsmen are: Alfred B. Elliott, Rowland C. Maurer, John B. Harden, S. G.
Elliott, John R. Smith, Azro O. Elliott, Isaac H. Penis, Tully G. Hoyt, George
M. Hawkins, John M. Reynolds, J. Wade McDonald, James McDermott, H. R. Branson,

It is reported that the Cheyenne Indians
have refused to receive the lease money from Geo. E. Reynolds of Colorado. Mr.
Reynolds leased a strip off the east side of their reservation, for which he
was to pay them $14,500 annually. The Indians now claim that he has fenced more
than he agreed and will not accept the money. No settlement has as yet been
effected.
Arkansas City Traveler, Wednesday, September 2, 1885.
The great cattle companies that have
illegally fenced in millions of acres of the public lands, learn their fate in
the proclamation lately issued by President Cleveland. Probably it will never
be known exactly how far their rapacity has gone, since some of them will
probably hasten to abandon parts of the territory they have seized, in the hope
for longer retention of the rest. Yet it is known that their bold trespasses
have been carried on upon a prodigious scale. “These stock ranges,” said
Commissioner McFarland’s report, “sometimes cover several hundred thousand
acres. Special agents report that they have ridden many miles in single
enclosures, and that the same often contain much fine farming land.”
Documents laid before the committee on
public lands in the last congress showed that in Colorado alone two foreign
companies had fenced in more than a million acres each of the public lands. In
the same state H. H. Metcalf and J. W. Powers, according to a letter of
Secretary Teller, had fenced in 200,000 acres each; Lowery Brothers, 150,000;
McDaniel & Davis, 75,000; E. C. Jane, Vrooman & McFife, and the
Reynolds Cattle Co., 50,000 each; Garnett & Langford, and Chick, Brown
& Co., 30,000, and so on with less rapacional squatters. In Nebraska the
Brighton ranch occupied 125,000 acres, and the Kennebee from 20,000 to 50,000;
Coe & Carter had up to fifty miles of fence; J. W. Wilson, forty; J. W.
Bosler, 20. In Nevada W. Humphrey had up to thirty miles of fence, and Nelson
& Son twenty-five. In Kansas great tracts were fenced in. In Wyoming more
than a hundred companies had made illegal enclosures. Dakota showed the same
reckless trespassing, and in New Mexico were the Dubuque, Cimarron, and Renello
Companies and others with very large enclosures, one of which was declared
during a debate in congress to be thirty miles square.
Attempting to draw up approximate
statistics of illegal fencing that had been reported to him, the late land
commissioner found them to include 2,300,000 acres in Colorado, 1,500,000 in
New Mexico, 300,000 in Nebraska, 250,000 in Wyoming, 200,000 in Kansas, 60,000
in Nevada, and an unknown acreage in Montana and other territories.
The seizure of the public lands is not
the only wrong done in these cases. Armed herdsmen hold these tracts against
the entrance of genuine settlers. The preemption and homestead laws, designed
to aid citizens, are perverted or opening defied by the cattle companies and
their unscrupulous agents. The latter seize the pasturage and leisurely examine
the mineral wealth of the domains they have fenced in, while even the United
States mail courier has sometimes been compelled to go miles away from his
accustomed route, from finding barbed wires stretched across his path.
Homesteaders have been fenced in by them, in some cases, and have been
threatened with violence or actually shot at for complaining or forcing an
egress for themselves through the wires.
Even these acts of open violence do not
complete the offenses of the land grabbers. In many instances they have sought
to gain a partial hold on public lands, in order to avoid sudden ejection from
them, by a pretended acquisition of title. The land office not long ago thus
referred to this incidental wrong of the illegal fencing.
“A frequent incident to this control of
large bodies of land is the acquirement of title by stock owners to the
valleys, water courses, and other especially valuable lands within the
enclosures, by means of fraudulent or fictitious entries caused to be made
under the pre-emption, homestead, and desert land laws.”
At last, however, a check to this career
of trespass, thieving, and fraud, with its interruption of public travel,
detention of the mails, and intimidation of honest settlers, may be expected.
The law passed at the last session of congress certainly gives all the
additional facilities demanded for putting an end to these wrongs. It will not
be surprising, however, to discover that the companies in some cases hold
pretended titles to parts of their tracts through the connivance and assistance
of local representatives of the government. In each case it may be found that
the first necessity for the detection and punishment of the frauds is the
removal of all registers, receivers, agents, and other government officers,
whom negligence, incapacity, or corruption has made these wrongs possible. New
York Sun.

[SAD AFFAIR, GROUSE CREEK VALLEY, MRS.
REYNOLDS INJURED.]
Winfield Courier, July 20, 1882.
A Sad Affair. Grouse Creek valley is all
worked up over a woman-beating scrape, which occurred Sunday evening. Terry
Bullington was the attacking party and Mrs. Jeff Reynolds the victim. The two
families live as neighbors and for some time have had a misunderstanding
between them engendering bitter feeling. Sunday evening Mrs. Reynolds took one
of Bullington’s cats, which was in her yard, and threw it over into the owners.
This seemed to enrage Bullington, who picked up a stick and attacked Mrs.
Reynolds, hitting her on the head and knocking her down twice, and afterward
breaking the stick over her body. Mrs. Reynolds’ husband is absent in Missouri,
and the lady is badly injured. We cannot imagine what manner of man this can be
who would attack and beat a woman with a club, no matter what the provocation.
He should hide his head in shame for evermore.
16. Michael Reynolds.
Winfield Courier, February 5, 1880.
Two railroaders, James Moore and Michael
Reynolds, were arrested last week and brought before Justice Buckman on complaint
of Dennis Murphy, charged with robbing him of $110.00. Henry E. Asp conducted
the case for the State, and Charles H. Payson appeared for the defense. From
the testimony of Dennis Murphy, he had got into a “bad crowd” as he furnished
all the whiskey and his friends showed their appreciation of his generosity by
robbing him of his money.
Winfield Courier, February 26, 1880.
Court convened Monday and after calling
the docket adjourned till Tuesday morning. The case of the State vs. M.
Reynolds, resulted in the conviction of the defendant of the crime of grand
larceny.

A coal company has been formed for the
purpose of prospecting for coal here. Quite a large sum has already been
subscribed to prosecute the work and it is the intention of the company to
begin work as soon as the necessary boring machinery can be secured. This
enterprise is a most important one for our City. There is no doubt but that our
town is underlaid by coal deposits and all it needs is enterprise to develop
them. The following gentlemen are the incorporators: W. P. Hackney, M. L.

Winfield Courier, Thursday, December 17, 1885.
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. The
townships through which the road will run were represented as follows.
Rock: S. P. Strong, H. F. Hornaday, E. J.
Wilbur, and W. H. Grow.
Fairview: J. C. Paige and T. C. Covert.
Walnut: J. C. Roberts, J. B. Corson, John
Mentch, T. A. Blanchard, J. Anderson, W. D. Roberts, and E. M. Reynolds.
Winfield: H. H. Siverd, J. A. Eaton, D.
L. Kretsinger, Col. Whiting, T. H. Soward, B. T. Davis, M. L. Robinson, S. J.
Smock, G. H. Crippen, J. E. Conklin, W. P. Hackney, G. L. Gale, Chas. Schmidt,
W. J. Wilson, Ed P. Greer, H. E. Asp, A. H. Limerick, F. C. Hunt, and J. W.
Curns.
Judge T. H. Soward then came forward with
figures, taken directly from the official records of the county, that will
knock the winds out of the “burdensome taxation” growler, should he attempt to
display himself. They are conclusive evidence that the voting of bonds to
secure this railroad is not a burden.
Here are the figures.
ROCK
TOWNSHIP.
The assessed valuation 1885: $132,800.00
Tax levy of 1885 except school and road:
$2,184.80
Interest on $18,000 bonds asked for at 6
per cent: $1,080.00
Valuation with proposed road bed:
$178,300.00
The present rate of taxation on township
with road, will produce: $3,137.98
Tax to be raised with interest on bonds:
$3,264.89
Difference and amount to be raised:
$226.91
FAIRVIEW
TOWNSHIP.
Assessed valuation 1885: $16,335.00
Tax levy 1885 except school and road:
$1,844.15
Interest on $19,000 bonds asked for, 6
per cent: $600.00
Valuation with proposed road bed: $183,835.00
Present rate of taxation with road bed
will produce: $3,143.77
Total tax, with interest on bonds:
$2,444.15
Difference in favor of township: $699.62
WALNUT
TOWNSHIP.
Assessed valuation 1885: $231,328.00
Tax levy 1885 except school and road:
$3,642.51
Interest on $15,000 bonds asked: $900.00
Valuation with proposed road bed:
$365,838.00
Same rate taxation will produce:
$5,229.82
Total tax with interest on bonds:
$4,542.51
Difference in favor of township: $687.37
COMPARATIVE.
Windsor township in 1879 had a valuation
of $73,129.09
Valuation 1881 with S. K. R. R.:
$193,153.00
Increase in valuation: $120,024.00
Maple township, 1879, had a valuation of
$70,307.00
Valuation 1881, with R. R.: $90,278.00
Increase in valuation: $20,000.00
These figures prove conclusively that the
increase of valuation by the advent of railroads pays the bonds with a sinking
fund. There is no burden involved in the voting of aid to railroads. And when
you add to the road itself the big increase of values through railroad facilities,
transportation, convenience, etc., the benefit is incalculable.
J. C. Paige, T. C. Covert, W. P. Hackney,
and W. H. Grow made pointed remarks. It was decided to submit propositions to
Rock for $18,000; Walnut $15,000; Fairview $10,000; Winfield $17,000, making
the $60,000 required for the extension. Committees were appointed to canvass
and work up the propositions, as follows.
Rock: G. H. Williams, R. Booth, Sr., S.
P. Strong, H. F. Hornaday, W. H. Grow, J. M. Harcourt, and E. J. Wilber.
Fairview: Tom Covert, J. C. Paige, H. C.
Schock, J. W. Douglass, J. M. Barrick, R. P. Burt, A. J. McCollum.
Walnut: T. A. Blanchard, John Mentch, J.
P. Short, John C. Roberts, W. D. Roberts, E. M. Reynolds, Chas. Schmidt.
The propositions are now being printed,
and in a few days will be ready for signatures.
20. Miles H. Reynolds.
Winfield Courier, January 4, 1883.
MARRIED. At the residence of Mr. B.
Daniels, of Dexter, December 24, Miss Mary E. Daniels and Mr. Miles H. Reynolds
were united in the holy bonds of matrimony by Rev. S. McKibben.
21. H. C. Reynolds. Winfield.
Winfield Courier, May 31, 1883.
While Mr. Reynolds was putting down some
piping in a well on T. B. Myers’ farm, preparing to drill it deeper, the wall
fell in, burying everything. Just before it caved, both Mr. Reynolds and Mr.
Myers were thinking of going down to adjust the drilling apparatus. Had either
of them done so, we would have headed this notice, “Killed in a Well.”
Winfield Courier, June 7, 1883.

Best pump for cistern, Cairns &
Reynolds, city, 1st premium.
Winfield Courier, March 20, 1884.
DIED. On Monday afternoon Chas. E.
Hickenlooper, a young man about twenty years old, while manipulating a well
drill near Moore & Son’s stone quarry east of town, was accidentally struck
on the top of the head by the drill crank and died in a few hours from the
effects of the blow. He had been in the county since last fall and worked
during the winter for George Anderson, near Floral, but was employed this
spring by H. C. Reynolds, of the firm of Cairns & Reynolds, pump dealers,
to assist in running a well drill throughout the county. His parents reside in
Albia, Iowa, and in his pocket was found a long letter from them, full of
parental admonition, encouragement, and love. On the day of his death a letter
from the father was taken from the post office which, after giving the “home
news,” would up as follows: “Well, I must now close, hoping that you may
prosper in business, keep good health, a good conscience, and an honorable
manhood. Write often so that we may know that you are well and doing well, for
your mother gets so uneasy when she don’t hear from you often, that she can’t
rest.” It was written in a beautiful hand and showed every mark of refinement.
Little did those parents think that the next thing they would hear from their
boy would be a telegram announcing his sudden death. An answer to the telegram
sent by Mr. Reynolds to the father requested that the body be given a good
burial and that money would be forwarded for the expenses. The young man had no
relatives or other than casual friends in the county, and no money. He seemed
to be of good character and industrious, but of a roving disposition. Mr.
Reynolds gave the body careful attention, for which he is deserving of credit,
and it was buried Wednesday afternoon, Rev. J. Cairns conducting the
ceremonies.
Winfield Courier, April 3, 1884.
Our readers will remember the sad
accident mentioned in the COURIER a few weeks ago wherein Charles Hickenlooper,
a young man in the employ of Mr. H. C. Reynolds was struck on the head by a
well drill crank and died in a few hours. He was a moneyless stranger in a
strange land and in recognition of the kindly care given the body, the
following card of thanks has been sent us for publication by the young man’s
parents at Albia, Iowa.
“To the many friends, though strangers to
us, at Winfield we return our unfeigned thanks for their true Samaritan
benevolence, Christian manners, humane services, and evidence of respect toward
us, the parents, and our unfortunate one, in this dire calamity. Especially to
H. C. Reynolds and brother, Mr. Emmet Noble and lady, Rev. Cairns, the editors
of Winfield for kind notice, and to all others sympathizing. Charles
Hickenlooper, Mary Hickenlooper.”

Just received by Cairns & Reynolds, a
carload of “Enterprise” Windmills.
Winfield Courier, August 7, 1884.
Cairns & Reynolds have furnished a
windmill for the Union Cemetery and the trenches for a system of waterworks are
being dug this week. This will be a big improvement and will soon show itself
in the changed appearance of the cemetery. About three hundred dollars has been
subscribed by citizens for this purpose.
Winfield Courier, November 6, 1884.
Some individual with evil intent tried to
gain entrance recently into the residence of Mr. H. C. Reynolds, but the latter
gentleman appeared on the scene and caused a mighty hasty retreat.

TROUBLES. — “JAY-EYE-SEE.”
The people proceeded to reorganize the
Sunday school last Sunday, by re-electing the following officers:
Superintendent, J. L. Higbee; Assistant Supt., Mr. Reighle; Secretary, Miss Eva
Reynolds; Treasurer, Lou Wilson.
Wm. Taylor returned on last Saturday from
the west looking as though he liked the country, which he says is true. He
expects to return this week; also his brother, and Col. Reynolds, to make the
west their future home. They are located in Ford County, where there is quite a
colony of people from this neighborhood. They have about 2,500 acres in one
valley and have established a town, the name of which I have not yet learned.
The young people’s Mite Society met last
Saturday night at the residence of Mr. Reynolds and enjoyed themselves for a
long time; in fact, they stayed till Sunday. They also concluded to hold a
“Mother Hubbard” festival on Friday night, the 31st of this month. Hope they
will, for they are deserving of something of this kind and the proceeds are to
go toward buying an organ for the schoolhouse. Committees were appointed and
everything looks favorable at present.

[TORRANCE TROUBLES. — “JAY-EYE-SEE.”]
Winfield Courier, December 4, 1884.
Joseph Reynolds and George Gardenhire, of
this place have gone to the Territory for a winters’ hunt.
The young folks met at the residence of
Mrs. Reynolds of this place on Saturday night and had quite a fine time: all
except Add Higbee, who received severe injuries on the head from an instrument
in the hands of some parties unknown. However, hopes are entertained of his
recovery at this writing.
27. Jennie Reynolds Cowles.
Arkansas City Republican, January 3, 1885.
MARRIED. Russell Cowles turned over a new
leaf, January 1, 1885. He was united in marriage to Miss Jennie Reynolds by
Rev. N. S. Buckner at the residence of Dr. Alexander. New Year’s night Russell
“called” for the social “hop” at the Leland. No sentimentality lingers in Mr.
Cowles’ breast.
Arkansas City Traveler, January 7, 1885.
MARRIED. Married New Year’s evening, at 4
o’clock p.m., at the residence of Dr. J. Alexander, Miss Jennie Reynolds and
Russell L. Cowles, Rev. Buckner officiating. Russ called on us Friday with the
cigars and received the congratulations of the entire force.

MARRIAGE LICENSES. The following marriage
licenses have been granted.

28. Miss Willie Reynolds.
Arkansas City Republican, Saturday, August 22, 1885.
Last Thursday evening a representative of
the REPUBLICAN had the pleasure of being one of a large number who went fishing
along the Arkansas.
J. A. McCormick and Miss Willie Reynolds
were the chief managers, the former inviting the gentlemen and the latter, the
ladies. They met at the home of Miss Reynolds, where the couples were arranged
so as to suit all parties. Before starting it was discovered that they had no
baits, but one of them informed the rest that an excellent bait could be
manufactured out of flour and cotton. This was proven to be a good bait by the
number of fish they caught.
It was late when they got to the river,
but they improved their time, had considerable fun, and returned to the city
carrying a great many fish—lines.
Arkansas City Republican, Saturday, October 24, 1885.
Last evening Mrs. Wm. Henderson
experienced a very agreeable surprise. Yesterday was her birthday and Miss
Willie Reynolds devised the plan of getting up a party. She invited the
guests—friends of Mrs. Henderson—and managed the preparation of refreshments,
which were in abundance and fully appreciated by those present. Mrs. Henderson
was decoyed away the first part of the evening and on her return was surprised
to see her friends gathered there. She received a fine rocking chair as a
present. A pleasant time was had.
29. J. A. Reynolds.
Arkansas City Republican, May 8, 1886.
Since the bonds have been voted in the
border townships for the Kansas State Line road, real estate has changed hands
at an astonishing rate and at exceedingly good prices. Our town has been alive
this week with capitalists seeking purchases.
J. A. Reynolds, of Cameron, Missouri, was
prospecting in this vicinity this week. He purchased the farm of J. C. Chase, a
few miles west of Arkansas City. He paid $4,500 for it.
30. P. J. [OR] J. C. Reynolds.
Arkansas City Republican, Saturday, August 14, 1886. From
Thursday’s Daily.
P. J. Reynolds, of San Francisco,
California, has been secured as head baker at the Cracker Factory. Mr. Reynolds
has been for a number of years connected with the California Cracker Company at
San Francisco. The management of the Cracker Factory at this city intend to
produce nothing but a superior class of goods, and are therefore employing only
gentlemen who thoroughly understand the business.
Arkansas City Republican, Saturday, November 27, 1886.
“This morning a representative of the
REPUBLICAN visited the Arkansas City Cracker Factory. We found everyone busily
engaged at work, but we had scarcely gotten upon the inside of the building
when we were met by the genial manager, L. B. Davidson, who escorted us from
‘pit to dome’ of the establishment, besides answering the many questions we
propounded in regard to the mysteries of ‘his art’ with great cheerfulness.
Many changes for the better have occurred since the first starting of the factory.
The capacity has been greatly increased. The first floor is utilized for the
packing of the goods made, and also the manufacture of boxes. The second floor
is where fine crackers, cakes, etc., are made. Here the eye is delighted with
the fine specimens of mechanism. Probably the most interesting study is the
cracker machine, as it rolls out its 20 barrels of flour per day into the best
A. C. Soda crackers. This is the third machine of this make in use in the
United States. J. C. Reynolds, late of the California cracker company’s works,
has charge of the cracker department.
“The third floor contains the candy
manufactory. This department is under the management of C. V. Frazell, lately
of Chicago. That he thoroughly understands the making of confections is evinced
by the samples shown us of his handiwork. At present he is getting up some
fancy candies for the holidays. It will be as fine a line of goods as we have
seen anywhere.
“Mr. Davidson informed us that when the
factory was first started but three barrels of flour were used per day. It soon
increased to ten, and now it has gone to twenty. Trade is good, and the company
have about all the orders they can fill at present. In fact, they cannot supply
the demand for candy. At present twenty hands are employed in the
establishment, and as the patronage grows the force will have to be increased.
The management is highly pleased with the success the factory is attaining. In
this connection we wish to remark that the Arkansas City Cracker Company was
very fortunate in securing the services of Mr. Davidson as manager. He is a man
of great business talent. He does not stand around and say, ‘I can do so and
so,’ but places his shoulder to the wheel and shows the people what he can do
by his works. He is a man that pushes his business with great vim.
“The Arkansas City Cracker Factory is an
industry of which we may well be proud, and the management is deserving of
praise.”

He was a Presbyterian. He leaves a daughter and two sons. The daughter, Mary
Bolton, lives at Winfield. One of the sons, John A., resides in this city,
being in the employ of the Santa Fe. The other son, William, Jr., lives on the
farm near Dexter. He also leaves two sisters, Mrs. Cora Lefler of Dexter, and
Mrs. May Reynolds of Red Cloud, Neb., and two brothers, Jim Bolton of Mount

Miss Mary Reynolds is at present
occupying the position of secretary of the Chamber of Commerce and secretary of
the Retailers association, as these two offices are vacant at this time. O. B.
Seyster has left the city and his successor has not yet been appointed.
Since the resignation of O. B. Seyster as
secretary of the chamber of commerce, arrangements have been tentatively agreed
upon between the board of directors and Ross H. Rhoads, proprietor of the
Palace Grocery, that if he can dispose of his grocery store, he will assume the
secretaryship of the chamber. Mr. Rhoads has been an active chamber member and
is at the present time president of the retailers’ association and is quite
generally regarded as a good man for the place. In the meantime the office of
the chamber is in the hands of Miss Mary Reynolds, the efficient stenographer
for both the chamber and retailers’ association.

RESOLUTIONS
OF RESPECT.
Winfield Courier, Thursday, July 9, 1885.
At a special communication of Dexter
Lodge, No. 156, A. F. & A. M., the following resolutions were adopted.
WHEREAS, It has pleased the Supreme
Architect of the Universe in His infinite wisdom to call from labor among us to
refreshment in the Supreme Grand Lodge above, our well beloved brother, M. H.
Reynolds, therefore, be it
Resolved, That while we deplore his untimely end,
we bow in humble submission to the fiat of our Supreme Grand Master while our
deceased brother takes his seat as a member of the Supreme Grand Lodge above.
Resolved, That in his death, Dexter Lodge, No. 156,
Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, loses one of its most earnest and faithful
craftsmen, and one who has ever taken great pleasure in hewing out the rough
ashlers and fitting them for use in the erection of our Masonic Temple, which
is the earnest desire of all good and true Master Masons.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be
furnished to the bereaved wife and parents of our deceased brother; a copy
spread upon the minutes of the lodge, and a copy furnished to The Eye,
Winfield COURIER, and Telegram, with a request that they publish the
same.

Winfield Courier, Thursday, September 3, 1885.
Some dirty rapscallion is in the lowest
thievery of all. Saturday the ivory rings were cut from the harness of Earnest
Reynolds’ team, and several others standing hitched on Main street. The low
devil is spotted and the best thing he can do is to mosey around and fix the
matter up as cheaply as possible, or get in the cold grip of the law.
Winfield Courier, Thursday, October 22, 1885.
Earnest Reynolds has built an addition to
his residence, which adds much to its appearance.
Winfield Courier, Thursday, October 29, 1885.
The reporter mounting a steed sallied
forth early Friday morning to take an inventory of the improvements and new
buildings which have gone up since the season opened, and the ones under
construction at the present time. Being rushed, we are satisfied many have been
overlooked. The valuation given is below the market value rather than above.
The following list we know will surprise our own citizens. Earnest Reynolds,
addition: $1,000.00.
Winfield Courier, Thursday, October 29, 1885.
Earnest Reynolds received a severe cut on
the head Friday while superintending a job at Amos Tolles, six miles from here.
The mast wheel dropped from the well boring apparatus, striking him on the
head, cutting a deep gash. Mr. Reynolds can congratulate himself that it was no
worse.
Winfield Courier, Thursday, November 26, 1885.
Earnest Reynolds, who lives in the
eastern part of town, arose at an early hour Tuesday and looking out doors,
failed to see the large washing his wife had put out the previous evening. Upon
investigation he found a naked line. He at once commenced to search and found
traces of the thieves bearing in an easterly direction. In getting over the
fence east of his residence, they had torn a shirt to pieces, and farther on he
found a few napkins. He came uptown and had a search warrant issued and he and
the Marshal made a thorough search of several premises in the neighborhood, but
have found nothing up to this time. If the thieves are found, the law should
deal heavily with them. It was a large and valuable washing, containing mostly
new clothes.
Winfield Courier, Thursday, January 14, 1886.
Monday evening was the occasion of a very
enjoyable time at the Post, it being the installation of the new officers
elect. The boys have a very roomy and well furnished Post room and well fitted
for entertaining a crowd. The Woman’s Relief Corps was out in full strength and
quite a number of visitors. Everybody was sociable and jolly and the reporter
felt just like a school boy on holiday. We like to mingle in such a crowd. We
feel better for days afterward.
After the installation the ladies of the
Relief Corps slyly brought out some mysterious looking packages and soon
revealed a feast that every old “vet,” including the reporter, began to grin
about and never let up until they reached home and had to send for the doctor.
Cakes, oranges, candy, apples, and everything good was passed around in abundance.
The reporter and John Arrowsmith were on the sick list and looked as blue as
indigo because they couldn’t eat anything. Dr. Wells’ friends watched him
closely and whenever the bald place on his head began to turn blue, they
pounded him on the back, and took away his dish. Tom Soward and Capt. Nipp were
cautioned by their friends several times to eat slower, but you might as well
have told them, during the war, to fight slower. They are excusable as they
confidently told the reporter they had been expecting this and had fasted since
the day before. Earnest Reynolds never grunted after the cake began to go
around. He looked down at the floor and lost no time. It is estimated that the
Post lost $4.67 by his presence. As for Siverd, words will not express his
troubles. Three times was he choked on an orange. His friends are very much
worried about him, as he has been troubled for years with dyspepsia. After the
feast it was noticed that the Captain’s pockets stuck out like an air balloon,
and it is thought he is injured internally. Space will not allow us to speak of
the other boys. They all did justice to everything. Their gastronomical
propensities worked like a charm.
Winfield Courier, Thursday, January 28, 1886.
Earnest Reynolds is quite sick with pneumonia.
Mrs. Reynolds received word yesterday that her mother in Iowa is not expected
to live.
Winfield Courier, Thursday, February 11, 1886.
E. M. Reynolds is out from a severe
tussle with pneumonia.

Mrs. Earnest Reynolds left Monday for
Nora Springs, Iowa, to see her mother, who is very low.
Winfield Courier, Thursday, February 18, 1886.
Charles Rempe, who lives in the eastern
part of the city, just east of Earnest Reynolds, is preparing to set out sixty
acres, about three miles from town, in all kinds of fruit. He has already
invested about $700 in fruit of different kinds and will keep at it until he
covers the sixty acres in small and large fruit. He expects to save about
fifteen acres for pasture. Mr. Rempe is an old hand at the business and knows
what he is about. He will have none but the choicest. There can be no question
of it paying in five years time, if he has ordinary luck. He will have a
bonanza. He will also put up a first-class residence on this land, where he
will live. We are glad Mr. Rempe has taken hold of this and will make this his
permanent home, as we are loth to lose men of his standing and ability.
Winfield Courier, Thursday, March 11, 1886.
Mrs. E. M. Reynolds returned Friday from
a month’s visit to her mother in Nora Springs, Iowa, her childhood home. When
she left there the 4th inst., there were fifteen inches of snow,
making our Italian climate all the more glorious in comparison. Earnest began
to look pretty rough from his long widowerhood and is mighty glad to have an
end to it.

George Reynolds and D. E. Sinskey, from

Winfield Courier, December 3, 1885.
Willie Reynolds fell over the stairway
banister of the Second Ward school building last week, breaking his arm and
wrist and otherwise bruising himself up. He fell head first about eight feet. A
few years ago he had a foot split from toe to ankle while around a threshing
machine, from which he limps badly. The weakness of this foot caused the
disaster yesterday.
