SUED FOR LIBEL.
Sheriff Smith Will Revenge His
Wounded Honor.


As predicted in the REFLECTOR
Sheriff Smith today brought suit for
criminal libel against Il. NJ. Chilcott,
of Wamego, editoro Of the Pottawatomie
County Times. The Times stated last
week that the sheriff Of Dickinson
county was drunk and disorderly while
on the train taking an insane man to
Topeka. Mr.. Chilcott was in the city
today and says that he was Informed
that the man to whom he referred was
the sheriff Of Dickinson county and
that the mans actions attracted the
attention of all the passengers. lie
admitted that he was misinformed and
mistaken but Mr.. Smith refused TO
listen to extenuating circumstances. 1t
is reported that the man in charge Of
the insane passenger was actually from
this county 80 that IL is easy to see how
the error could have arisen.
Mr.. Chilcott takes the suit very
smilingly. lie says he is used to libel
suits-has had them before and never
knew them to hurt anybody yet. The
case will not come up for trial at this
term Of court. The defendant will give
bond and await developments.
