Twelve Men, after Hearinq the Evidence, Find that John Gillaspie's Character was not Touched Missed it Thirteen Miles On last Friday John W. Gillaspie's suit for damages against (i. F. and W. H.

Jordan, publishers of the Tribune, received the attention oi the District Court. The complain ant only wanted a.OOo for his char acter (now, don't you laugh). The consideration was cheap enough; because a newspaper, such as the Tribune, with its hundreds, yes, thousands of readers scatters things like an "old pepper box" and makes it mighty warm; but the jury very properly concluded where the party put on a shoe that was not hunt lor him, the damage only existed in his mind. The court room was filled with spectators, and at nine o'clock the task of impanneling a jury weigh the evidence and return a verdict in accordance therewith began By ten o'clock the destiny ot the Tru: u.ne, with mortgage attached and one dollar in the treasury which John Stark left with us to send the Kansas City Journal to his address for out year, was turned over for safe keep ing to M. A.

Lewis, Frederick Hart- man, A. J. Tatlow, A. P. Thomas, Cyrus Jennings, J.

J. Knepp, A. J. Morgan, M. B.

Casey, F. F. Goodwin, T. J. League, Eli Branic and Giles Barney.

A number of witnesses were called, all of whom had read the TitiBtiSE. from the large num ber present it. is doubtful if one could be found who docs not read the Tribune. It would have been well for advertisers to have been there and seen lor themselves whether or not this paper has a circulation in the county. We never talk about our circulation, but in the claims set up by Mr.

Uillaspie it is stated the TitiBCNE has a large circulation; and of course we had in all candor to plead guilty to that part of the charge. As to circulation it was plainly visible to everybody as the trial proceeded; but the farther it went the deeper in the mud went our friend Gillaspie, until the $5,000 shiners were so far above him that they looked like stars in the "milky way'' blurred like, you know. After examination of witnesses the attorneys stated their case. The defendant's lawyers gave Mr. Gillaspie better legal advice than he has had since the suit began.

It was no fault of his that he is related by either name or blood with parties charged with hog stealing and mid not hold tho Tribune for some ing it was no more responsible foi iian he himself. As a newspaper, i is a duty and privilege to protcc. and criticise and advise for tho good. If hogs had been stolen and parties tried for stealing, the paper had a right and did its duty when reference was made to it, and atten tion directed to that fact. Since the article was published, and it is under stood that this paper will not be in-timiddaled or bulldozed, there has been no hog stealing heard of in that particular settlement, and as the complainant lives near this city, he had to stretch his imagination thirteen miles to connect himself in the sase; but according to his evidence he says he is the man, and we do not pretend to know more concerning his connections therewith than lie does himself, and only can answer for ourselves, which we did on oath, and which satisfied the jury as appears from the verdict.

Mr. Gillaspie is his own accuser, and after his attorney blowed hollow blasts ot. wind at the jury for nearly an hour, in less than twelve minutes' de liberation they returned a verdict jus tifying and exonerating the Tribune of an' blame or intentional harm to ward any one in this matter. It probably will cost this newspaper more to break up bog stealing in the south western part ol the county than the value of the stock lost by any one fann- mer, and we are not afraid to leave the justice of our cause with any twelve disinterested farmers or citizens ol the county who believe iu law, hon esty, fidelity and soliriety as against mendacity, evasion and fraud. We are here to light ami maintain our rights at all hazards and costs, igainst fraud and ail kinds of bull dozers.

Our aim is to sell the best goods cheaper than any other house in the city. W. II. Ol.HKlELK. The rainy season set in two weeks ago, and the earth changed appearance and'vegetation is cheering to the eye, adding meat to stock and wealth to the farmer.

The sa3s it is a good thing for the county Michaels got away. Granted. But that is not the ques tion. He was put in there for safe keeping, and had he been in the steel cages, where he belonged, would not escaped. His getting away mav lie a belter thing tor the sheriff than the county it he finds him and gets mileage tor bringing him back.

Those who heard tho evi dence in the trials last week can tell their neighbors how slack the jail has been kept. It sounds a good deal like a "joint" when you reach that part where stone masons, who were under the influence of liquor, had access lo the prison part of the jail and visited with the prisoners. No, it might be a good thing for the county if all its criminals break jail, Iro. Ilerold, lint it would be a bet ter thing ror Sheriff Dennis' record lo keep them where they arc sentenced and belong. Let the courts, law and tiilges do the turning out.

the only aniieuity that arises in making distribution of his estate is to know just what his wishes would as he has left seven or eight wills, which are finite conllieting and prouaoiy none oi them legal. However, they have been placed with the probate court for its decree. I do not wish my brother's friends in Kansas to think that the property he aceuiu tiluted while 'among them is proving such a "bone of contention" to bis heirs and causing such bad behavior among them as your cor respondent represents, alio it would lio well for him to better inform himself before informing your many readers.
