THE GREER CASE.
No Business Man Pound CompeteEt, But
All Want Pay.

After examining 154 men, jury for the
trial of the case of the State VS.. Howard
Greer was secured at O'Clock yesterday
afternoon.
Fifty business men were snhp9naed 10
serve on the jury yesterday morning. but
none OF them were found competent. All
of them bad formed opinions, and, strange
as it may seem, some of them acknowl-
dyed that they could not give Greer a
fair trial Que man said he read an ac-
count of the robbery in the EAGLE the
next morning after it occurred. and that
be formed an opinion then that the de-
PENDANTS, Howard Greer. John kit'ereil.
Doc Snap, Arthur Hancher and Jack Beck
were guilty. By the way, these men
were not arrested until nioe days
after this opinion was formed.
With one or two exceptions all of them
went directly TO the clerks Office and
claimed g fees. The exceptions. so far rs
could be learned, were Cash Henderson
aud J. J. Mcnamara. These two gentle
men thought they could afford to serve
their county twenty minutes with
out asking 10 cents minute for it.
After about forty had claimed fees. and
not knowing how many more would be
called, County Attorney Boone felt IN
easy about the small surplus left in the
treasury by the Popniists, called at the
clerks office and put quietus on the fee
claiming business. He holds that the 81
per day clause in the statutes only APP
plies to men who serve and that 1t does
not contemplate paying men for any duty
they are found incompetent to perform
If every juryman subpenaed was
paid for coming to the court house
and leaving again without per-
forming any duty WAS paid 81 the prob
ability is that the trial OF the five men
charged with the robbery would cost the
county from 5000 to $4,000.
Justice is mighty good thing. but ii
everybody claimed 81 because they were
subpenaed Oh jury it would be too ex-
pensive This is the view the county Ofti-
ceis take of the matter.
The case was stated to the jury and a
little evidence introduced before adjourn
ment. County Attorney Boone and q. v.
Ferguson are prosecuting, while the de-
Tense is represented by Adams & Adams.

BIG REPCBLICAN MAJORITY.

Registration for the November election
closed at o'clock promptly last night
and it is gratifying to know that every
Republican in the city has registered
This fact also demonstrates that the Re-
publicans of Wichita mean business this
year and that they are determined upon
placing the county once more in the hands
of men who will run it in such way that
men having legitimate demands against
the county will get their money as they
have done during the past twenty years OF
popular Republican management.
The totals were not made last night, but
enough is known to signify a full vote on
election day Figures show that the Re
publicans will have 500 majority in the
city, and this is giving every doubtful
vote to the opposition.
The result of the registration Is very
gratifying to the Republicans.

TIT FOR TAT.
And Now Protest is Filed against the Fusion
Ticket.

Bob Coates has started out to demon
strate to the Demo-Pops that two parties
can play the same game, by filing pro-
test yesterday with the county clerk
against printing any alleged Democratic
ticket OH the ballot to be voted on next
month, but that nominated at the Gar
field hall on July s, by the convention
over which DR.. Phillips of Mt. Hope pre-
sided. The protest is especially directed
against the printing Of the ticket which
bears the appeliation democratic ticket, -"
which gives the name Of Charles Mos
bacher for sheriff, j. L. Dorsey for regis
ter, Ransome Brown for surveyor, aud four
POpulists for the remainder OF the ofllces
Mr.. Coates first objection is that the
certificates are not regular, and his second
objection is that it is Calculated
to deceive voters by making them believe
it is a Democratic ticket. whereas the fact
is there are more Populists than Demo-
Gratis on the ticket.
w. A. Arey, the we'll known merchant
and manufacturer. joins Mr.. Coates in the
protest, and it is probable that it Will be
heard this afternoon.
There seems to be no desire at all on the
part of Mr.. Coates and Mr.. Arey 10 DIS
franchise anybody or take any votes away
from the candidates on the ticket against
which they protest.
In order that the public may understand
it the following is an exact copy of the
