Commotion at the Court House.


Some one of the denizens of the rooms
in the basement story of the court house
created quite an excitement early this
morning by an assault on a fellow pris-
oner, the circumstances tending to the
probability that it was with intent to
kill. About four, a. m, the jailer's fam
lily and Sheriff Moon, who was sleeping
down stairs on account of Mr.. Nichols
absence, were aroused by cry of ''mur-
der" accompanied with considerable
noise and moving about in the large
room of the Jail, where there are seven
prisoners confined. Mr.. Moon immedi-
ately rushed to the spot, and says that as
he came to the door he heard q club fall
on the floor, but when he entered and
struck light the prisoners were all
again in their beds and everything quiet.
He found, however, that the attack was
upon a prisoner known as Dock Steph-
ems, the weapon being a club used as a
poker, and the blow, evidently intended
for his head, being dealt on his arm
which was paralyzed for some little
time, though not seriously hurt. The
club, quite a formidable looking one
Mr.. Moon removed and has had Steph-
ems placed in another cell. Stephens
can make no statement as to who was
the perpetrator of the deed, but Mr..
Moon is making every effort to ferret
the matter out, and already has a clue
which may lead to an explanation of the
assault The Jail 'boys" have been try
ing the mettle of the new officer, and
have already been foiled in some of their
misunderstanding plans by his prompt
ness and energy; and we doubt not, in
this case, they will find that the strong
arm of the law is not weakened because
the power of its execution is placed in
his hands.

The AIusicaI Convention.

We wish to call the attention of the
citizens to the musical convention under
the direction of H. S. Perkins, that meets
in this city next week. These conven-
tons serve the double purpose of fur
nishing a thorough, rapid drill in the
art of singing at sight, and cultivating,
or more strictly reviving taste for an
art that brings culture and refinement to
every home that gives it entrance. Not
only should the singers of the city sec
ond the efforts that are being made by
those having charge of the business mat
ters pertaining to the convention, but
the citizens, to whom a matter of inter
est to Emporia is of interest to each, in
dividually, should purchase the course
tickets that admit to all the rehearsals
and the two concerts, and watch the
workings, if not for personal improve
ment, for the encouragement of the
singers.
