imagines that all his trouble comes from
the secret organizations, and he conse-
quently has for such q great dislike. His
peculiarities have made for him many
personal enemies, and it was through them
no doubt that the charge was
made. He had all the people in the vicin-
ity subpoenaed as witnesses; but before
the trial could be brought up friend ap-
peared, persuaded him to plead guilty and
pay small fine.
A young man was brought into court
for disturbing the peace Of a resident of
South Emporia- 1t appeared that in his
capacity as tinkerer he had charged
housewife fifteen cents more than she..ielt
she ought to pay, and from this fact grew
the trouble and the charge He paid
small fine and was dismissed
