Toevs, a cousin of P. W. Toevs of Moundridge, met with a terrible accident Tuesday, while working on his threshing machine at the P. E. Schroeder farm southwest of Inman.

He stood on the front truck wheel of the separator trying put in the self feeder and signaled to the engineer to go ahead. The belt 1 caught his hand instantly tearing the whole arm off at the shoulder and throwing him to the ground with such force as to break the other arm and fractured his jaw. The unfortunate man never regained consciousness and death came Tuesday evening. DOUBLE LIQUOR CASE Some are less able to meet justice than others, but in order to keep our government in even balance, justice must not be a respecter of persons. In Judge Craven's justice court Monday Frank Lewis pleaded guilty to a charge of giving liquor to minors and Charles Crippen.

familiarly known as "Blind Charlie' was convicted of selling liquor. Both received the minimum penaltv, a fine of one hundred dollars and thirty days in jail. County Attorney Grattan was here and had charge of the prosecution. Sheriff Jackson also came down in his car and took the men to McPherson, where they commenced serving sen tence at once. The trouble started Sunday evening when the two little boys, Taefel Riedel and Myrl Crippen begged a part of a pint of whiskey from Frank Lewis.

Taefel ended up with getting polluted with the goods and spent the night at the city hall. In the morning the boys told who gave them the liquor and the city marshal got busy at once. Lewis gave in right away and he and another witness swore to having purchased liquor of Charlie. While one of the men is blind and an attempt has been made to appoint a guardian for Lewis, there seems to be no other way in the course of the law than to give the two the minimum penalty.
