Saturday morning the jury brought in a verdict of guilty and assessed his punishment at life inprisonment.

The burns during the early spring, and winter freezes have diminished the number of ticks and grass hoppers, but horn flies, or straw flies, or third party flies, or whatever name you choose to give them, seemed to have thriven [sic] in times of drouth and cold weather. The prairie fires seem to have warmed up the earth just right to hatch them. They are just terrible about farms and pastures. Mrs. B. Kuykendall, wife of W. J. Kuykendall, stuck a fish hook in her finger last week. The hook lodged against the bone. Mr. Kuykendall wanted to send for a doctor to take the hook out, but, his wife told him that was all nonsense. "Just take your knife and cut it out" said she. He got his razor and cut it our regular Frontier fashion. Mr. Kuykendall and his wife came here in an early day when the savages roamed through...[page cut off] [end of photocopy]
