Geo. Busick. a young man under thir-
~ years Of age, broke into a house in
Ness City. and stole some wearing ap-
parel along with other things He lief:
the scene of his crime, striking across
the country toward this city, lii compa-
ny with an older man named Stevens.
Stevens had had so::e trouble while So
journing here last winter and wished 10
avoid this town. They. therefore. pass
ed through Howell instead of here, 60
ing south. In the meantime the sheriff
of Ness county had telegrapbed Sheriff
Bell to be on the look out. That eff
Gent officer notified his deputies through
out the county to keep look out for
Busick. Busick's supply of tobacco had
given out, and on his way south he stop
ped at Wilbur to purchase of the weed.
He was promptly taken in charge by
Deputy Brown, and brought here. Mr..
Busick is now cursing the tobacco habit.
The Ness City papers are praising the
shrewdness of their sheriff. when, as q
matter of fact, OUR sheriff deserves the
credit for the capture. The thermome
ter Is burowing below mercury when
Ham Bell fails to get 'em.

Feathers flew in the court of Justice

Feathers flew in the court OF Justice
MoHett Wednesday afternoon. Two
prominent farmers living six miles north
east o! town were draw: into trouble by
tue ducks belonging IL o3c t-csspassing
on the sacred lan,i>of thc ether The
owner of the land gave warning TO his
neighbor that the ducks were obnoxious,
not only in the matter OF destroying corr
but in other ways as well. Last Tues
day the web-foo.ei birds. uniismayed
by sundry ''shops.'' again turned their
heads in the direction of the battle
ground. and proceeded 10 give the enter
ing wedge between the somewhat strain
ed relations of their master and his
neighbor. They waddled over to the
corn patch anil we've busily engaged in
satisfying the inner duck, when the
owner OF the land made gallant charge
on them with a hoe. With one fell
swoop he swiped six ducks into eternity.
The owner of the deceased birds had his
neighbOr arrested and the trial took
place Wednesday. The County Attor-
ney and the Police Judge were opposing
counsel. The first knotty question of
law came over the proper classification
of ducks, one contending that it was
fowl, the other holding it to- be an ami
NAL, in law. After a gladiatorial con-
test as to the proper place of the duck.
and after citing authorities pro and con,
Judge MOffett sustained the County At
torney in calling them animals. The at
torneys mopped the perspiration from
their brows and proceeded to extract ev-
idence, which brought out all the ghast
~ details of the massacre. An adjourn
ment was taken before the arguments
were delivered. and upon reconvening
the prisoner was found guilty as charged
The judge will pass sentence to-day.
