of GA Celebrated Beauty - while
among the other illustrations are three

DIR. Burt of Glenwood and DIR. Fred
G. Hall from Randallsville, New York
who has been stopping with DR.. B. for
several weeks made the HERALD call
Monday; they We're in towf1 to see the
County Attorney in reference to an i'm
beetle pauper who had been sent to this
county from Ohio and who has spasms.
At which times he is not only nuisance
but actually dangerous, assaulting any
one who may come in his way and
being powerful young man is very
difficult to manage. We hope the case
will be investigated.
A special term of the District Court
for Phillips county was held for the
purpose of preparing some cases for
Supreme Court, naturalizing some
citizens, SC. We notice Judge Holt, of
Beloit; w. H. Mcbride and w.
T. S. May; of Kirwih, all of whom
we believe are engaged in the cell
ebrated Cummings-Closs horse case
which now goes to our highest tribu-
nal for review.
Frank Mckay who has been looking
over northwest Kansas for some weeks
for location to engage in the law prac-
tice has at last settled upon Phillips
burg as his victim. We understand
that he and Adam McElroy will ''hoId
the fort'' on the north side of the square
in the Pratt building, which Adam has
recently purchased. Mr.. Mckay has
wife and and one child who will soon
join him in his new home.
The south and central part of the
county was visited by heavy thunder
showers Sunday afternoon. In
several places It was accompanied
by wind and hail doing considerable
damage to the corn crop and also to
standing small grain. J. N. McIlvain' s
oats and VIM. Meals crops suffered
severely; for the latter some chickens
were killed by hail.
The heated term seems to tend to
hot words and hotter actions. Last
week complaint was filed against Mr..
Highly of Mound township, for assault
upon boy who was working for him.
He was brought before Squire McCor-
mick and fined $I.OO and costs; amount
of which we did not learn, but no
doubt sufficient to make it interesting.
A party of gentlemen CONSISTING of
County Attorney McBlroy and five 9th
ers visited the Marvin mill-dam for a
swim Sunday and by the way they
abandoned the wagon after heavy
clap Of thunder, one would suppose
they thought that Providence was not
ensirely satisfied with their days rec
reations.
In the case of Taylor Hatton taken
before Esquire Gibbs of Marvin on
change of venue; he was found guilty
of assault and battery upon Hazen and
fined $500 and costs, the latter being
about $1,000, and was committed to
jail until both are paid and he is now
occupying the old cottonwood coop.
D. c. Cole who has taught the Mar
vim school for two terms and is now
attending the institute made the HER
AID a pleasant call Saturday. Mr..
Cole is one of the best teachers of our
county and loses no opportunity to
improve.
G. Cook, merchant of Big Bend, and
S. NJ. West, of the same place, were in
Philipsburg on business yesterday.
