The boy who was shot in the jaw by the
accidental discharge of pistol, is getting
along we'll. The boy who drew the pistol
didn't know it was loaded. The two boys
had been down to the river discharging
their pistols and when they supposed that all
OF the loads had been discharged one of the
boys playfully drew on the other with the
result of wounded jaw. The careless use
of firearms in the hands Of boys always
brings disaster. Boys should let these dan
gerous things alone.

District Court,


The Ford County District Court convened
Tuesday morning. Present, J. c. Strang.
Judge; W. F. Petition District Clerk; Geo.
T. Hinkel, Sheriff; J. w. Keith, Deputy
Sheriff. Col. 7. 8. Jones, county attorney.
The time Of the court on Tuesday was
nearly taken up on the selection OF jury on
the Hardesty case. At about three o'clock a
jury was empanelled IS follows: NJ. NJ
Ferguson, II. Berry, C. d. Wentworth. Chss
Beemsn, L. W. Jones, L. E. johnson, c.
NJ. Beeson, David Morrow, Ben Ferguson
Henry Koch, Thompson Rankin. John
James.
The defendant E. F. Hardesty, is charged
with the killing Of Barney Elliott, at Cool
idge, On the morning of the 10Th Of Decem-
Der last. The circumstances are familiar to
the readers Of this paper. The examination
of witnesses will conclude to- day and the case
given to the jury. II is believed that the
jury will acquit on the ground Of justi6able
killing. T. s. Jones, county attorney, is for
the prosecution, and Sutton d Whiielsw for
the defense.
The Gaze has attracted good deal OF In.
terest, and the attorneys on both rides are
using every means to attain complete and
thorough examination. The testimony il
favorable TO the defendant.
Owing to the Hardesty trial taken up SC
much Of the time Of the C ,urt a majority Of
the criminal cases and all of the civil cases
will be deferred. Judge Sirang is obliged to
hold court in another county next week.
The Common wealth Of Tuesday had
very caustic letter from the pen Of W. E.
Stanley Of Wichita, on the ineiigibility OF
the Judges who are Candidates for Congress.
He mentions Judges Holt, Perkins and
Peters, and shows the large per cent of cases
from there courts that have been reversed by
the Supreme Court. He very pertinently
remarks that il these Judges had been at
tending to their duties as Judges instead Of
dickering around in politics, il would have
been money in the pockets of iiliRanis and
the tax payers generally. 1t is encourag
ing to see men with nerve sufficient coming
forward and rebuking Judges who have no
more regard for the positions they hold than
to become mere political street hawkers. /,
is disgrace to the Judiciary of the State
and will soon be frowned down by the bet
Ter clsss Of people. The Commonwealth, in
commenting on the subject, apologies,
however, for Holt and Perkins, as their
terms of Office expire this fall, but il leaves
Judge Peters in the meshss where il finds
him.-Great Bend Tribune.
