THE POTWIN COUNCIL.
Ebenezer Wilson Wasn't There. But 1t
Held a Meeting Last Night

Ebenezer Wilson Wasn't There, But 1t
Held a Meeting Last Night
In view Of the fact that Ebenezer Will
son was not present at the regular
monthly meeting Of the Potwin city
council last Monday evening it was found
necessary to adjourn the meeting until
Wednesday,
At the meeting last evening Mayor
Forbes was in the chair and City Clerk
Miller held the pencil. Councilman
Parkhurst, Hamilton. OgiIby and Booth
were present. Councilmen Griffith and
Ebenezer were absent A report of the
marshal was demanded to show why Mr..
Wilson had not been notified and as it
was satisfactory the council proceeded to
struggle along without him
The session was not long one, how
ever, and did not last later than 9
o'clock
The Topeka Water company desired
the settlement of its bill Of $43. 10 for the
iron pipe used in repairing the Auburn
dale sewer. and the council ordered it SO.
E. p. Ewart sold the city some lumber
on time, and he too wanted his $3O43,
and the city clerk was ordered to fix it
so he could have it.
c. L. Vanderpool owned some lots in
Potwin, and he appeared in lengthy
petition last evening to declare that he
had been enormously taxed SO cents for
sidewalk built in front of them. The
council was very nice about the matter,
and Mr.. Vanderpool will get his SO cents
City Clerk Miller thought his services
as tax collector were worth $12-4O and the
council let him have it.
Potwin has not needed a police Judge
for long time so no attention was paid
to the matter when W N. Henderson, who
was elected last spring, did not formally
qualify. 1t was suddenly discovered a
few weeks ago that the city had no po-
lice Judge and the mayor was asked to
appoint one Mr.. Henderson signified
his willingness TO accept the honor and
the mayor appointed him The council
confirmed the appointment last night.
There will be no meeting Of the cOun-
Gil until the regular monthly one on
Monday evening, Novem Der 5.

MRS. OELRICHS' LEGACY.
VIII Have to Wait for Her Half Million
Till a suit is Settled.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct Mrs. Herman
Oelrichs may be obliged to wait some
time for the million and half legacy to
receive and receipt for which she came
hither from New York two days ago.
The delay in the payment of her share
in the four million dollar estate left by
her mother, Mrs. Theresa Fair, is due to
the fight now being made in the courts
by Charles L Fair. the surviving son. He
claims the legacy of his dead brother
James.
BY the terms of the mothers will each
son was to receive 100000 James
when 35 and Charles when he
had attained 80 years. 1t was
provided that in case either brother died
without wife or children his share
should GO to the survivor. If both broth
ers died wifeless and childless their leg
acies were to GO to the sisters, Mrs. Gel
richs and Miss Virginia Fair
Charles claims that his marriage a
year ago altered the case and makes his
brothers share payable to him now in
stead of five years hence. The sisters
contest this point desiring it is said to
receive the interest on the half million
for five years themselves. Charles will
receive his own legacy in two years. The
family litigation has tied up the entire
estate

A wHoPPER.


The judge and the colonel went fishing
the other day For weeks the judge had
been telling of a pond he knew where pick
erel weighed ~ pounds and were to be
had for the asking. The colonel listened
patiently for a time and then said he'd go,
partly because he wanted to shut out the
judges stories and partly because he need
ed day of.
They packed their rods and other para
phernalia and started on an carly train
for the pond All the way out the judge
talked of nothing but the great fish that
were waiting TO be caught, and before they
arrived at their destination the colonel
had caught some of the judges enthusi-
asm and was as anxious to get to work
as the judge himself They got a boat, and
the judge who is somewhat of an athlete,
said he would do the rowing at first. The
colonel put ont tEo-1ines, one over the
stern and the other from pole
The judge rowed slowly around the
pond, which is not more than a mile long
and a quarter of a mile broad, and the
colonel attended assiduously to the lines.
He didn't get rise After the first cir
cult had been made the colonel said
''Seems to me that those pickerel have
heard you mention are taking a day off. =
Never you mind, = protested the judge.
"You can't expect to catch fish in min
ute. 1t takes patience to get pickerel.
Now, to show you that am in earnest in
this thing, Will row you round again,
and III bet you'll have uSh before you
get back
The judge pulled slowly along, and the
colonel sat in the stern and pulled moodi-
ly on his pipe They went half way round
without a strike. stHuh,' . said the colo
mel, 1--WE might just as well be fishing in
the middle of an asphalt pavement"
The judge did not deign to reply He
yanked viciousIy at the oars a couple of
times and then fell into his stroke again,
and there was silence for five minutes.
Then the reel on the pole gave a click
and whir-r-r-r, and the colonel made
grab for it, stopped it and began Keeling
in for dear life. The line stretched far
back among the rushes near the shore.
Pull him inl'' yelled the judge.
The colonel was red in the face by this
time. He tugged and hauled and tried to
wind up the reel Il can't bulge him, Y
he gasped.
The judge came back and grabbed the
pole He tugged and hauled too. Moth
ing moved II jocks, = said the judge,
t'that one weighs so pounds .
Then they both got hold together The
strike had been a good one, for the hook
held. They heard tremendous splashing
In the high weeds. Were getting him."
yelled the judge Keep a-pulling''
The splashing in the rushes grew loud
er. The two men pulled on that pole as if
they were taking in an anchor. "He's
coming gasped the colonel
It'll be the biggest pickerel ever caught
in the state, - said the judge, giving a ire
mendous yank at the line.
Then out of the rushes burst a mild eyed
COW, with the hook fast in one of her legs.
And the colonel and the judge left the
boat where it was and waded ashore.

HE SUED THE POLICE.



Damages, and Got so.
A farce comedy was enacted in the
district court this morning. James Reed,
a colored young man whose nose is bad
Iy disfigured by some disorder, was
suing Sergeant Henry Steele and Police
man John Dagg for 5000 each for dam
age to his reputation The jury, after
being out four minutes, returned a YER
dict for the defendants.
Reed had been arrested with a woman
named Mary Marshall for being in dis
orderly house. They we're arrested on
that charge in order TO hold them
on another. A highway robbery
had been committed, and there
we're reasons for Supposing that
Reed and the Marshall woman
were the guilty parties. The police were
unable to get the evidence they needed
TO convict them Of the robbery, SO they
were discharged
Reed then sued the officers for $4,000
damages to his reputation, character,
standing in the community, and to his
health F. G. Hentig s'handIed" the
case. Judge Hazen in his instructions
to the jury laid much stress on the fact
that a police officer must be allowed con-
siderable latitude IN dealing with such
criminal classes.
