Here Miss Bertha. with condensation
and profusiou of her sweetest smiles, in
which all her dimples were charmingly
defined, gave MIR. Boone lecture on social
formality, particularly about the esssb-
lished and approved methods OF sending
out social Invitations. and finally wound

said that Mr.. Euo charged her 30 per cent
for cashing her checks.
FAIR MONEY LoANER
Miss Oldham loaned Mr.. Ward money,
|
charged him per cent interest, and said
| that was the legal rate, in all of which she
was mistaken, for the legal rate at the
time she made the loan was about double
| that much. A Populist wouldn't loan
money for 8 per cent At any rate her
story went that Mr.. Ward has not paid
the note yet, although it is nearly three
years old. She denied telling Mrs. Col
lings that she had put up $40 per month
for her position. She said she never gave
Mr.. Ward or Mr.. Cole money, for her
position, either directly or indirectly. She
said that Mr.. Ward gave her no security
on the note; that she did not deem it
necessary to ask man holding his posi-
tion as public officer for security. Her
testimony was quite lengthy, but the
above Is the gist of it.
JOLLY GOOD TIME PROMISED
Miss Belle Howard, a music teacher in
teacher in the public schools, was the next
witness. She has a pair OF very bright
eyes, an elegant figure and carriage aud
hair like Queen Elizabeth. She came
within an ace OF quietly precipitatinR a
breckenridge sensation on tho head of Mr..
Ward. Her story in substance was that
she desired to get a position in the schools
and went to Mr.. Wards Office. That gen.
tleman encouraged her. One afternoon
she went there TO hear report of progress
in the case. Mr.. Ward grew friendly and
regretted that he did not have a little
wine but that he would run across the
hail to DR.. Wendels Office and see what
he could do. He returned with some
whisky and he took drink and 50 did she,
for the reason. as she stated, that she had
an object 10 view. She positively stated
that that was the first and last
time she ever tasted whisky. Mr.
Ward then proposed to her to accompany
him to the st. Louis fair and that they
would have jolly good time. He also
for it, On cross examination she said
that all this happened in 1891. She finally
admitted that she couldn't tell the date,
but that it was either in 1891 or 1892. She
Will be cross examined on Monday, at |
which time some arguments will also be
made about admitting evidence OF a case |
that occurred more than two years ago.

A FISHING EXCURSION.
Tho court adjourned after o'clock |
till Monday morning. 1t is said that the |
prosecution uiu uOt cApcCU W prove uuCu, /
by the witnesses introduced yesterday. |
The prevailing opinion is that they were |
only fishing in hopes Of getting some ad- |
missions that would strengthen the evil |
deuce they are said to have in reserve. |
County Attorney Boone conducted the ex- |
with tact asd skill while Judge |
Wall was invaluable 10 making argu- |
ments and citing authorities to |
the court on points raised By /
the opposition. The attorneys for |
the defense showed considerable |
a bility. Mr.. Amidon was at the bat most |
of the time aud did we'll. j. f. Comfy |
made a fine short stop and also some good |
speeches. George S. Wilson was q good |
back stop, while A. NJ. Sturdevant did |
some clever fielding. Both sides, after the |
case was over, told an EAGLE reporter, cou-
that they had the best of the |
case. There is one thing certain, tina:
they believed what they said, if the EAGLE |
man didn't.
