Winfield Courier, February 27, 1874.
Dr. Wagner and Mr. Moore of Dexter, called upon us last Wednesday. They report everything prosperous in that city.

ISAAC MOORE, Esq., of Dexter Township, will probably be a candidate for Representative before the Republican Convention of the 89th district. He is well and favorably known in the south­east part of the county. He is not a chronic office seeker, which is a good point in his favor. Should he be nominated, he will be elected.

It is but justice to Mr. Isaac Moore, of Dexter Township, to say that he is not a Republican, as a recent local in the COURIER would indicate. Furthermore, he is not a candidate for any office. He is simply a farmer and a good citizen—with Democrat­ic principles. We had been misinformed.
[PETRIFYING SPRING FOUND BY ISAAC MOORE: CRAB CREEK.]
Arkansas City Traveler, May 1, 1878.
Isaac Moore has found a spring which seems to have the peculiar property of petrifying anything which is left for any time in its waters. He says that the last year’s leaves which dropped into the spring have been encrusted with a formation of stone, and the limbs and roots which project into the spring have also been petrified. He showed us a fine specimen which he took from the waters of this wonderful spring, which is on Crab Creek, in Dexter township. Cowley County Telegram.

I. F. Moore says that he is not the man that went to Leadville as reported in the Beacon and copied into this paper. J. J. Hutch is the man that went and made the report as stated. Mr. Moore was in company with Mr. Hutch in Wichita, and the Beacon got the parties “a little mixed.”
