The Big river is on a regular tare. 1t
has been rising rapidly since Sunday
morning and now shows a larger volume
of water than it has contained for year.
This indicates a much heavier rainfall
along its course for some distance above
this point Sunday night than was thought
to have fallen here. There had been prac-
tically no water in the channel of the Big
river above the junctnre with the Little
river for two or three months. 1t will
hardly be without water again before next

DISCHARGED.

The case of the state against W. Y
Teetzel, charged with taking a tombstone
from over the grave of the child of Mrs
Faulkenstein, of this city, occupied the
whole of the afternoon Yesterday before
Justice Moseley. The state was repre-
sented by Judge Campbell and the de-
Tense by Judge Shields. The facts, as ap-
peared in the evidence, were about these:
Something over two years ago Mrs. Faux
enStein bought of Mr.. Teetzel a tombstone
Mr.. Teetzel took from her a contract in
which was the usual clause that the title
to the property remained in Teetzel until
the monument was paid for" Mrs.
Faulkenstein never paid for the monU-
ment. Mr. Teetzel sold out his business
here and opened a marble yard in Omaha,
Neb. Some weeks before he left
Wichita he called on Mrs T. for a settle
ment. She was unable to pay him and ne
informed her that he must either have the
money or the monument. She was still
unable to pay him. He then gave up her
note and removed the monument. He re-
manned in Wichita several weeks after the
transaction and then removed to Omaha,
where he has embarked in the same bust
ness. Nothing was done in the matter
until few days since, a warrant was
sworn out Sheriff Cone was sent TO
Omaha and with a requisitiOn for Mr..
TeetzeI brought him back to Wichita for
examination.
The justice at the conclusion of the ar
of counsel promptly discharged
Mr. Teetzel. II is very evident that Mr.
Teetzel had no intention of committing
anV crime

At the last meeting of the building
committee of the new Methodist church
it was ordered that the plans and speciti-
cations be sent to Atlanta for bids on the
new building. 1t was thought that they
had gone forward, but by some means
the matter was overlooked and no bid
has yet been received. Our people want
the church, and this oversight on the
part of the committee Is regretted. No
individual member seems responsible, as
it was not made a special duty, and one
waited on the other. The committee
should be sure that no further delay is
made. Dawson is already further be
hind in the matter of cmch buildings
than she ought to be.
