On a writ of habeas corpus, John
Jones had a hearing before Acting Coun-
ty Judge johnson at Indianola, Tuesday,
when his bail was reduced from 81, 900
to $500. Jones has been in town since
the trial and we suppose he has been
able to secure the necessary $500 bail.
Indianola, however, is quite a celebrated
health resort.

5000 OUT OF POCKET-W. G. Billiard
of Culbertson lost a pocket book, Sat-
urday afternoon, at Drysdale's merchant
tailoring establishment, (where he was
having his Measure taken for a suit of
clothing, } under very suspicious circum-
stances. Mr.. Billiard had laid his pocket
book containing in bills s1G5 and a
check of $50 on the bench, while being
measured, and left the establishment
and walked over to Walsh & Boyd's sa-
loon before noticing that he did not
have the wallet in his pocket. He at
once returned to the shop, but a careful
search failed to bring forth the missing
article. Charlie johnson, who was in
the shop at the time MIR. Billiard was
being measured, was arrested and held
for hearing before Justice Colvin, who
discharged him for the lack of evidence,
whichw, though circumstantial, We are
informed, was uncomfortabiy strong.
Subsequent developments have largely
strengthened that evidence, but W. G..
is out of pocket just the same, though he
feels pretty certain who is ''fush" at his
expense.
