~ boy named White, aged sixteen or seven

and who resides with Mr.. e., received blow, some
two weeks ago, which is likely to his death.
1t seems that he the habit of dOmineering
and imposing upon younger boy who was working
at the same place, and the day in question, had
knocked him down several times. He then pursued
the boy with piece of iron and threw it at him. but
it missed its aim, and went ahead. When the
other boy came to the iron, he picked it up, and
struck at his pursuer with it, striking him the
forehead, and fracturing his skull. For day
two, White could be around, but his wound grew
worse, his brain becoming involved and it is
doubtful whether he can recover.

J. b. W., Maryiand.-In reply to yours, We will
state that under the laws of Kansas, when chattel
mortgage is given for year. it is necessary for the
mortgage, at the expiration of eleven months from
the date of the mortgage, to make AFFIDAVIT 1.-THE form
of which is usually printed the back of the mort
gage) that a stated amount of the debt for which it
was gwen remains unpaid. This renews the face of
the mortgage for another year. If this affidavit is
not made, the mortgage may, within twenty-nine
days of the expiration of the instrument, give
mortgage the same property to other parties,
which will take precedence Of yours The holder of
chattel mortgage may foreclose it at any time even
before due, by making oath that the mortgaged
property is being damaged or wasted, SO that the
mortgage is liable to lose his claim. But the afda
Wit at the expiration of eleven months must be made
or the property may be mortgaged to some other
debts, leaving you out in the cold.
