A Day in Court.

csurtv We took ours last Saturday. satur-
day il the best day for such an indulgence De-
cause you have all the next day to recover
from the demoralizing effects oil lawyers
speeches. Who really owned the horses
what kind of Trimmer Daisy is; what re-
lation turnps are to shotgun, and why ia
CODY should dance TO the piping oil uiass
COW when Fiizfetcher got all the niiA,
we were unable to determine; but were not
all these matters decided by iuries VINO, aiter
being out sill night, wanted to know Uhelher
their verdict should be according to the law
and against the facts, or according to the EVIL
derce and against common sense! Verify
The particular case up for hearing at the time
alluded to was one in which livery stable man
a farm Spectator, and various parties,inciud
ing lawyer, from Hutchinson. had been col
away with, and they had come down here 10
make Thos. Jacoby ray for il. And they old!
Judge Harris was making speech ior the
Hutchinson outfit, aud he seemed to have
heap of law on his side--we say seemed-but
the facts and sympathies as SHE'D at the court
and Jury by Sluss won our heart and we de-
cided on that side, but the jury didn't We
would like to charge that jury once! When
will our people learn TO stand by each other
when will their hears beat as one TIL the

give it up. We would rather Zip copper II
somebody would hold the court and-kill the
lawyers. That's full report of the proceed

TRANSFERRED after that and Heaven hasn't given
us leave to print So much of what we noted
of the true inwardness of ga day in court"
Now for the personsl:
Judge w. p. Campbell possesses many OF
the elements OF successful judicial officer.
Prompt in his rulings, of tenacious memory,
and quick perceptions, answering when con-
WINGED, business not only moves smoothly
along, but every officer knows that dslin-
quency is among the things that will not be
tolerated That budozing by members oil
the bar Is out OF the question in the thlr-
teenth judicial district is fact well
understood. Another element in Judge
Campbers character is not only pralse-wor-
thy, but has become noticeable, to wit: his
courtesy to and consideration Tor his Juries
No Judge could lie kinder or take more pains
in making each juror fully comprehend every
question OF law or fact submitted. The OH
GERS of the Sedgwiek county court are par
ercslleaee. C. A. VanNess, as Il clerk, has no
superior IN the State OF Kansas. Sheriff Dun
ming, and his Deputy Tence Massey are ever
prompt with their returns. paper issued
to either is as good as served. The saiiliis,
A. T. Owens and j. +. Humphrey, are cid
| stant-bys and most excellent officers. Inc
bar OF Wichita, in ability, in legal aeumen,
and reputation, stands as prominent as that
of any in the State. Many OF its members
are almost always retained in cases before the
higher State courts and United States Courts,
and not one that does not have calls IN the
various courts Of the district. Take the list
of lawyers published in the EAGLE directory

The revival meetings at the NJ. L. church
| and the union revival services at The Presby-
terrain church are still in progress with en-
HANGED interest daily. Many prominent cit
! liens of high social standing have been awak-
| en- ed and the members OF the churches are
| fully alive to the momentous interests that
seem to rest in their hands.
A fire Tuesday morning at II O'Clock was
| discovered in Fritz Snitzler's barn. The
the alarm bell was rung and in afew moments
Snitzeryllle was more densely populated
than Five Point. in its palmiest days. The
proximity of 4 big mud puddle OF water, the
fire csmpany's flying buckets and ladders;
the frantic gymnastic evolutions of few

dawn everything and all was quiet The
| fire had gone out and the barn was saved.
| James Vance came down with us last weak
| to make short visit. Not long ago "Jim"
| reported Wichita dun, and the EAGLE ac-
| cused him Of being either drunk or crazy.
| Every one except resident of the bog say,
the same thing, and we are inclined TO believe
it is the EAGLE man that is either drunk or
| crazy, or both -ArkaHsas City Trareler.
| Probably both, but don't you be tooisd.
| Wichita may be comparatively or relatively
| dull, but she is nevertheless the liyliest town
in Kansas to-day.
