Mr. Peter Seacat is recovering from a severe spell of fever. For a time his life was almost despaired of.

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.

Fountain Seacat, Pleasant Valley, was on the list of jurors called.

Winfield Courier, Thursday, April 15, 1886.

DISTRICT COURT.

Thursday was entirely taken up in empaneling a jury in the Henry Mowry murder case from Arkansas City. The regular venire, with six talesmen, were exhausted in selecting the following jury: G. W. Hosmer, H. O. Brown, Fountain Seacat, J. D. [?] McMains, W. S. Caster, C. W. Dover, W. Drury, Henry Chitwood, D. W. Frew, S. Bonifield, J. G. Anderson, and L. Conrad. Jennings & Troup, of this city, and W. E. Stanley, of Wichita, are counsel for the defense, and Henry E. Asp and County Attorneys Swarts & Webb conduct the prosecution. Mr. Asp is in the case from the fact of this case having come up under his regime as county attorney. He will also assist in the Marshall case. The case in hand is a big one, with a woman at the bottom of it—a case the facts of which have numerously appeared in THE COURIER and with which all are familiar, making a rehash of the evidence unnecessary. The mother of the prisoner, a fine looking old lady, with his brothers, W. D. and Al., occupy seats within the railing and exhibit deep concern. The woman in the case, Mrs. O. F. Godfrey, and husband are here from Chicago, to where they recently moved. There are two dozen or more witnesses in the case and its trial will probably occupy a week or more.
