STATE vs.. RONHAM.

In the case of the State VS.. II. c. Bon
ham before Squire Barrett yesterday,
remarkable state Of affairs was developed
1t seems that one Golobie about year ago
had roomed with Mr. Bonham, and was
indebted TO him for room rent in the sum
of s36 Being unable 10 pay the same,
Bonham held his trunk containing certain
clothing as security for the debt. The
trunk was stored with the Wichita Gro
Gerry company where it has remained for a
year, Golobie being unable to raise suiii-
cient money TO redeem it. When opened,
Golobie claimed that certain articles of
clothing were missing from the trunk, and
had Bonham arrested for stealing the
same There was no evidence whatever to
sustain the charge, and the justice, upon
hearing the facts, Immediately dismissed
the case. IL was nothing more than roar
ing farce Mr. Bonham is one of the best
known travelling men in the state, and his
reputation for honesty stands unimpeached
by the leading business men of this city
and the southwest generally.

a wise move.

out thoroughly in the fall. Previous people
had used it apparently as a retort for clink-

a man to clean it out, as it was not what
