WHIP, biff! whirr rizip! Take that, and
that. and that" said Sloan Stanley las;
night as he belted J. T. d. Casey over the
shoulder, across the face and about the
legs with bran new horsewhip.
J. +. d. Casey is lawyer and a well
known member OF the school board being
a member Of the committee on teachers
aud salaries in the Ward administration.
The typewriter in his Office is Miss Flo.
Stanley and Sloan Stanley.is her brother.
Lawyer, typewriter and big brother is
the condensed history Of the case.
Sloan Stanley moved away from Wich-
ita some time ago and went to Houston,
Tex, his present residence.
There he heard certain remarks about
his sister and Mr.. Casey. He bought a
ticket at once. came to Wichita on July
and has put in his time sincs investigat-
ing matters. The result was that he set A
time this morning to accost Mr.. Casey and
Introduce MIN to the supple end OF horse
whip.
He changed his mind later in the even
ing when Mr.. Casey visited the nome of
Miss Stanley on North First street Mr.
Stanley WAS present and he very promptly
told Mr.. Casey to leave the premises. Mr.
Casey procrastinated whereUpon Mr.. Stan
ley jumped TO his feet, yanked off bis coat
and vest, went for the horse whip and in
wnirling about to get good action en- his
victim he twisted his back until it panied
him. He lambasted him with all the en-
ergy OF an athletic young man from Texas
till Mr.. Casey cried, 'leL upl let up! my
eye Is out"
Mr.. Stanley thought perhaps that he had
injured Mr.. Casey's eye and let up on the
lambasting, whereGpon Mr.. Casey re-
treated for the purpose of applying the
balm Of the law TO the stripes Inflicted
upon him. He complained 10 the authori-
ties and Mr.. Stanley was arrested in due
and ancient form. After being kept in
the bastile for about fifteen minutes he
was allowed his freedom on the promise
that he would show up this morning at
the police court, which he will

porter for the EAGLE met him. ~ don't

good horsewhipping. l think when the
facts come out that the horsewhipping
viii be considered justifiabie by the public
as we'll as by the judge" He was still
agitated sufficiently over the affair to
demonstrate to the reporter that horse
whipping ut his hands is mot picnic or
anything kindred to it,
This denouement in the affairs of Mr..
Casey was not unexpected by the good
citizens on the other side of Chisolm
creek, where Miss Stanley resides. They
knew it was coming, but, of course, could
not tell when. They even say that Mrs.
Casey was out there one Sunday evenin z
with a sturdy oak club in her hands,
watching for him to show up in the neigh
borhood for, it seems, he liked to wander
out io that direction during the fine sum
mer evenings to inspect the school houses
in the neighborhood aud gather inspirat ion
from the eternity song OF ChiSolm creek
as it rolled merrily down from { he packing
houses. Indeed it is even alleged that Mrs
Casey did not like TO see him going in that
direction and she frequently visit d
County Attorney Boone during the sprin!
to have law proceedings commenced
against him by the state, but no proof
could be given by her hat would stand the
test OF the law and consequently no prose-
cutting was commenced.
HorsewhippiEg has been discontinued in
the schools but, il seems, the practice is
still IN force in the school board,
Il X said that when the trial is over Mr.
Stanley will take his sister to Texas with
him. He was recently divorced ana needs
her to keep house for him.
Mr.. Stanley is the gentleman who so ad-
mirably distinguished himself "A few years
ago in naad to hand encounter with a
burglar who tried 10 get into his house.
He is a quiet looking fellow, but people
say be evolves into a circular saw when lie
gets riled.
