The Iola register. [volume] (Iola, Allen County, Kansas) 1875-1902, 1885-07-10

standing highest in the "B" grade.
Mr.. Klaumann also chimes in with an
offer of a pound of tea to the student
receiving the highest mark in the
third grade, while Mr.. Curdy offers a
three dollar hat to the gentleman pass
ing the best examination in the same
grade.
Little "Sisn Thrasher came very
near meeting with fatal accident last
Sunday. The cover of the cistern had
been carelessly placed and in passing
over it, it tipped, letting her into the
water. Her father happened to be
near at hand and at once dropped
down after her. The water was much
beyond his depth, but by holding on
to the lead pipe of the pump he sus-
tanned himself and the child until
a ladder was let down to them. Be
yond a bad fright and q shudder at the
thought of what might have been,
there was-no serious injury.
We present this morning a copy of
THE REGISTER to each OF the Normal
students who is not already regularly
receiving it. Our object in doing so is
two fold. First, to give them the
news; and second-shall we say it P
to induce them to subscribe. This is
sue is a fair sample of what THE REG
IsTER is every week in the year. If
you will only examine it for yourselves
and give us the benefit of a COMPARE
son with any other paper in the coun-
ty, we shall be satisfied. 1t contains
alithe official notices of the County Su-
northumberland pretty much every
thing else worth publishing or read
ing.
There seems to be q general impress
sion that the county attorney and his
deputy are entirely responsible for
bringing the celebrated dog case
to which we alluded two weeks ago.
We do not so understand it. The case
was brought ia the first place, before
Justice DeHart of Moran, without the
advice or consent of either the county
attorney or his deputy. The defendant
was found guilty and he appealed the
case to the District Court. Mr.. Amos,
we understand, did everything he
lawfully could to have the case dis
missed. He even went to Judge Still
well about it, who told him that I'M
less he positively knew that there was
not sufficient evidence to convict, he
didn't see how he could avoid prosecut-
ing it.
The Leagures are growing cOnsidera-
bly, over the dismissal of the Rich cas-
es, and claim q great victory. They
have very little occasion for rejoicing.
The only reason they were dismissed
was because the wrong action was
brought. Mr.. Rich brought suit to
quiet title. Judge Stillwell ruled that
rs Mr.. r. was not in possession of the
land at the time the action was
brought, such an action could not be
maintained. The proper suit to be
brought i'm such cases, is one in eject
ment. Mr.. Rich's cases were thrown
out on purely legal grounds, which do
not in any way affect his title to the
lands. He will doubtless bring suits
in ejectment at the next term of court,
and the result may be guessed from the
Judgment given in Mr.. Keplinger's
cases.
Since the Grange store started there
has been ten business houses suspend
ed, and their owners moved away ex.
cept such as hired to the Grange Store

Dayton & Boyle, one of our heavy
hardware firms invOiced their stock
last week and will move it away from
here. We are sorry to have this firm
go, but of course, they understand
their business and will make money
wherever they go.-Inter State.
When it is remembered, in addition
to the above items, that Mr.. Curdy
has sold his business block in Hum
boldt, retaining his lease only till Jan
uary 1st, and has bought a stock o
goods in lola, it would seem that there
must he considerable wind in the boon
of the village down the river.
