an action brought by the plaintiff to have
himself reinstated upon the board OF edu-

strengthened by intelligence said to have
been received from him afterwards, that
he expected TO make there, or at least some
other place than Wichita his home. The
board then took it upon themselves to
elect another member and their choice was
Mr. Paliett. Messrs. Allen & Humphrey

TO the plaintiff that if she would go with
him he would marry her That shortly
after plaintiff went to reside with and
keep house fortdefendant, the plaintiff by
reason of promises and misrepresentation
was ruined by the defendant and about
August LIST suffered severely from medi-
cal operation.
The plaintiff after recovering from sick
ness was again induced to remain with
