On Tuesday last Edward Gage was arrested by Billy Gray on the charge of entering a house without the permission of the owner. It appears that a man imposed on Ed’s credulity. A carpenter by the name of Wright Seymour induced Ed. to accompany him to a house which Seymour had been working on and had almost completed. The house belonged to O. C. R. Randall. Mr. Randall had set up a stove in one of the rooms and by the time Master Edward and Seymour arrived on the scene, sparks were flying promiscuously. Randall had in the meantime departed from the house, locking the door on leaving. Messrs. Gage and Seymour entered the house with the intention of extinguishing the fire, which the former did. Accordingly Mr. Gage was arraigned before Judge Kreamer, who remarked that $1 and costs would satisfy the court. Edward meekly paid the amount “set opposite his name,” and departed with about $6.50 of experience. Seymour induced Ed. to go with him by asking him to serve as a witness. He was having some trouble about the carpenter work.

McLaughlin, and Frank Schiffbauer, notifying them to appear at Topeka before the U. S. Grand Jury and answer such questions as it may ask. They will probably have to leave this afternoon.
Arkansas City Republican, June 13, 1885.
O. C. R. Randall went west last week. Thursday he dropped the REPUBLICAN a card from Harper County, telling of the prospects there, which will be interesting to many readers. The crop prospect in west Sumner and east Harper counties could not be better; never saw finer oats in any country and have seen more oat fields in Harper than I ever saw in the state before. Corn is about waist high and looking well. Wheat is just boss and the further west the better. All the little towns along the railway are full of “drug stores.” Everything is booming out here.
Arkansas City Republican, Saturday, July 17, 1886. From Thursday’s Daily.
O. C. R. Randall is the name of the new mail contractor for the Darlington and Silver City route. Capt. H. M. Maidt, from Arkansas City, began service on the first as sub. An effort is being made to have the line extended on through the Chickasaw nation to Johnsonville, a distance further of 90 miles. Cheyenne Transporter.
