THEY ARE AFTER ED.
Harvey County People Complain OF Seds-
wick Ccunty's Senator.

Harvey County People Complain or seds-
wick County's Senator.
Senator O'Bryan and Judge Wall
defended Rogers of Newton who was
convicted for burning the Harvey coun-
ty records.
Rogers had the only set OF abstract
books in Harvey county ana since
Rogers has been arrested the ABSTRACT
books have become the property or
senator O'Bryan and a bill is before the
legislature to legaliZe a set of abstracts
that has since the destruction or the
records been prepared in the register
of deeds Office of Harvey county.
Senator O'Bryan claimed that this Ell
fort to legalize the Harvey county ap-
stracts was an effort to render his alb
stract valuless and he opposed the
passage of the bill in the senate. Then
the Newton Republican comes back at
Ed and says:
The effort is being made by Senator
O'Bryan of Wichita solely for selllsh
purposes, to enhance the value of a set
of abstract books owned by him, which
he claims to have taken from q. W.
Rogers in payment of an attorney fee.
THE people of Harvey county have
had their patience well night exhaust
ed in this record burning case. They
have seen their county scrip go below
par for the first time. They have ex-
pended thousands of dollars. not only
to hunt out the guilty parties, but to
restore the destroyed records. Now
that the arduous work has been COM
pleted, does a foreigner dare to OPP
pose the wishes of the people of Harvey
county, place their property at the peril
of title challenges and set himself up
as the only security they may have to
clear title of their possessions ~
