Mills attorneys have filed a motion
to strike out certain allegations in
Boyd's petition, relating to the Deer
head and eX. confederate vote. Boyd's

ing the case is practically settled with
out further argument. Since it is seen

soldiers forms the basis of Boyd's ac-
tion there are great many republicans

preme court has set March as the date

"A great many people will be sur
prlsed to hear that common mortal
would have the temerity TO attack an
angel; but Barber county has almost
every variety of the genus homo. ID. S.
Angel was in town Saturday for the
purpose of having warrant issued for
the arrest of George Kelbaugh, on the
charge of assault with intent TO kill.
Mr.. Angeles tale Of woe runs some
thing like this: lie was driving along
peaceably in wagon when KelbauGh
met him and climbed into the wagon,
and without warning struck him in the
face, saying that he, Angel, had called
his, Kelhaugh's children very bad
names. The blow knocked Angel out
out of the wagon and kelbaugh
threw half bushel at him. The mis-
sile went wide of the mark and hatch
ct was sent after it, which struck An
CELL on the shoulder. Kelbaugn then
jumped from the wagon and gave chase
but was left far in the rear. Angel
stopped when he got home, and his
wife went after the team, which in the
meantime had ran away. This is Mr..
Angeles version of the affair and Mr.
Kelbaugh has not been heard from.
