WeAingtOnjan: Last Friday, Miss Lulu
Slugh, the female lawyerf of Leaven-
worth, was IN the city, and crest at the
Arlington. Having a suspicion that liQ-
uOr was being sold in the hotel in viola
ton of law, she asked the porter, Oliver
! Boyd, if he could furnish her with a bot
tie of beer. He replied in the affirma-
tive, and she directed him to bring it to
her room. In about two minutes, accord
ing to testimony in the case afterWard
instituted, the porter brought the beer
for which she paid him IS cents. She
drank a portion and then went before
Esquire Caldwell and made complaint
against the pOrtOr for violating the pro-
hIbitOry law. He was arrested fOrWith,
tried, and fined in the sum of 500 and
district court. Where the porter got the
. liquor is, Of course, only a surmise-per-
! haps at Caldwell, or, possibly, in some
low dive in Wellington, but certainly ~
) not about the premises of the Arlington.
Halstead Independent: 1t is not un-
common to see young ladies and misses
on our streets after dark, unattended by
a gentleman friend. At best this is a bad
habit, and should not be INDUCED in by
the gentle sex except IN cases of extreme
necessity. Not only is it a bad habit but
it is fraught with considerable danger,
as the following narration of fact will
show: A few nights ago a young lady
stopped Oft the West bound train, which
was one hour and half late, and pro-
Ceeded to the house of friend on South
Main street. A man followed her from
the depot until the school house was
passed, when he caught up with her and
! began to make indecent proposals to her.
, She is an extremely modest and retiring
, young lady In manners and disposition,
, and was very much frightened at the vii
, lain's approaches. The wretch is thought
: to be known, and if the parties Whe are
! looking the matter up succeed in identi-
flying him he will think this an IN
healthy climate. In the meantime would
it not be well for parents to keep their
J daughters off the street after night fall
A special from Mcpherson, Kansas,
.. says: MIR. A. Crush is a prosperous far
3 -mer, residing in this county, highly re-
4 spected by his neighbOrs and all who
] know him. He is the father of a beauti-
{ full and phenOmenally developed daugh-
e ter about twelve years of age, of attrac-
s tive and lively disposition. To-day Miss
Crush came to her father, and with pit
:. e0us pleadings for mercy and fOrgeness
T, confessed that she had been seduced
q Thunderstruck at the appalling news
O the father demanded the name of hel
y betrayer, and his grief knew no bounds
e when he he heard from the lips of hii
T. erring daughter that his own brother
q was the author of her ruin. Amazed a
b the terrible intelligence, yet hoping tina
Il perhaps he had misunderstood her, b,
e made her repeat the charge again anC
e again, and she solemnly declared tina
Y her own uncle, NJ. NJ. Crush, was tn
d man who led her astray. The father
J. sorrow turned to frenzy. and Selling a re
# volver, he sought out his Immature
s. brother and shot him dead. Deceased
1t came here from Buffalo, II. Y, som
months ago, to visit his brother, and TIA
d intimacy between him and his prett
IS little niece sprang up shortly after hi
2 arrival. He was the accredited CORE
" spOndent of the Buffalo Courier. Publ
