J. P. McAuly, Bart Van Hassel, J. W. Bridges and Samuel Biddison were witnesses in the McMurdo vs, Wm, Shope lawsuit Saturday in Emporia, This was a case in which McMurdo claimed some $72 for a threshing bill.

Mr. Shope claimed as an off set that the threshing outfit ran at least 50 bushels of oats over into the straw, and that they were also indebted to him in the sum of $5 for helping get the engine out when it fell through a bridge, and consequently he tendered McMurdo a check for $57 which was refused. The court gave McMurdo a judgment of $56, which left him with the costs to pay. CHAS. BROWN CONVICTED, Allen County Jury Says He is Guilty.

Harry Heasley and Frank Hassinger returned Saturday from Iola, where they had been attending the trial of Charley Brown of this place on a charge of horse stealing. It seems that Charley hired a rig at a livery stable and he and two other fellows and a young lady(1) started out to go to a neighboring town. When they got there they failed to come back, and the sheriff over hauled them 75 miles west of Wichita while they were at dinner one day. The trial resulted in a conviction but Mr. Huggins the attorney for Brown says he will take the case to the Supreme court where he expects to get a reversal of the judgment, Rex" Gets Blue Ribbon, Lyon county can best all other counties in the state not only in the yield and quality of agricultural but also in horses.

"Black Rex," the saddle horse owned by Dr. Richards, was exhibited at the Topeka fair and won the blue ribbon over a large class of stallions, mares and geldings. P. W. Harris, the trainer, has had the horse in training only about a month, and for this reason feels proud of the result.

The judges who gave the first prize to the horse at Topeka complimented the trainer and owner, and stated that the horse would be a high class animal when his education was completed. This is the first time the horse was in a ring and of course he was nervous. Dr. Richards had a good offer for the animal, but refused it. The price offered was a larger one than any offered before for a high-class horse from Lyon Co.Emporia Gazette.

W. BRIDGES, tel. 11-6 We are pretty proud of our duck coats, work shirts, overalls, and jackets and can make you the right kind of prices, at Conklin's. In our write up of the schools last week we failed to make any mention of the school board. They are the gentlemen who work for the district for nothing, and if they succeed in giving us a good school.the credit all belongs to the teachers, but if anything is wrong it is all the fault of the board, and they are the ones to be growled at.

Mr. Elliott is the oldest man on the board and has served longer in that capacity than any man in Americus township. W. H. Patton is the business and financial manager, and Dr.

Brickell, the new member is the best looking one on the hoard and the best judge of beauty, and be has to look after the matter and see that we get good looking school teachers. Thus we have combined age and discretion, business finance, grace and beauty, which gives us a board that is hard to excell.
